OK, I just sat down and ground it out. There are still some minor issues with CSS that are driving me bananas, but the entire website is now functional and readable!

Finally posted the essay that I have worked on forever. Apologies that the CSS is still broken, making this harder to read. Now that this piece is out of the way, I will have more time to spend on finishing the site redesign in the coming weeks. https://emilynhoward.neocities.org/prose/maelstrom

Very thought provoking, thank you for publishing it. Re 'Return' I'm also in my 40s and starting to get the urge to protect my family(/tribe) without care of those outside it, which I do not like. Although I believe in your stance on not succumbing to binary thinking, I also worry how that may lead to centrism and failing to oppose something I think is bad. I worry there is no answer (I worry a lot as you can tell).

@p7uen Thank you for reading! I agree re: the centrism trap. I've been trying to think a lot about how to keep a sharp moral compass without falling into tribalism. It's really hard.

I liked your answers! Thought that postcrossing forum/site you linked looks interesting too (I may have a thing for collecting postcards)

@skep We have been absolutely gaslit, right? I am sure a lot of people prefer dark mode, but this idea that it's OBJECTIVELY better for everyone seems to have taken hold.

@sorbier Yes I noticed how so many of your answers were similar to mine! Our sites may look different on the outside but they are similar on the inside.

Just finished reading this and I was 100% nodding in agreement at your crusty middle-aged person answers. Hooray for accessibility!

Wow, wonderful dinos and great way to capture them. Loved the piece on liminal spaces as well.

Updated design is now visible on all of the Field Notes pages. Not a huge difference visually but the code is much better. I also updated my /now page. Happy solstice, friends!

A rolling site redesign starts now and will probably be finished in a few weeks or months. Rather than paralyzing myself with the prospect of completely re-doing the design, I decided to reconfigure it to bring it in line with what I want. This DOES actually mean that I will have to completely re-do the site, but feels less intimidating for some reason. Anyway, I hope you enjoy the updated index page!

Aw, but I wanted a big reveal! Tell you what, I'm going to unfollow you for a few months and check back in around October so it looks like a single dramatic change.
