I overhauled my links page, as I follow too many sites on Neocities at this point to keep up with linking each one. I chose a smaller number of links to feature, as well as links from elsewhere on the web. I may swap these out or add to them as time goes on. There are so many websites on here that I like!
[checks for my site...finds it] ah very cool yeah i love link pages very very cool
i've read and re-read your field notes page a number of times and it always inspires me to carry a pocket notebook again. my reality never seems to live up to yours, though
yo, no need to apologise, i know life gets busy! it's meant to be fun, not a burden~
oohhh strong relate re the appeal of embroidery samplers: haven't made one myself yet, but yes petting the stitches is so good
My first piece of writing on a while...that's about why I publish on my website. Indulge me while I self-indulge.
LOVE your rededication to writing for your own sake, to exercise your identity and freedom! thank you so much for sharing. thoughtful + personal essays are my favourite to read. i 100% agree with everything, of course -- i love the democratisation of "publication" (online) + platforms, so happy to see you using it to share your writing.
"a part of life not being created within me" really nails it, thank you. you touch on a lot of stuff I kinda know but haven't seen spelled out as lucidly re un/self/publishing and I think that's so valuable
also as a final year phd student trying desperately to switch fields as soon as I'm done....
An audio collection of some of my poems went live yesterday. I've linked it to the invididual poems so you can hear them being read by me.
I realized that I had been maintaining a separate changelog for my Steven Universe Future site...and never actually linked to it anywhere on the site! XD You can now find it on the About page.
You make a good point. Using an pseudonym ensures a lot of safety. One thing people DO need to realize, though?
If someone knows where you live, your first name (and only your first name) and your birthday, they can usually sort out your identity, at least in America. For example, Andy from Oregon born on such and such date is probably the ONLY Andy born that day... :-/
Obviously more true than usual if you have a very unique name, but still possible in many cases if someone is being tenacious and seeking personal information. Be careful, folks. The internet is a perilous place at times.
it's my birthday today and my full name is mike thomas ventriloquist and i live at 169 college ave new brunswick nj 08901
the anonymity plays a large part in providing a false sense of security, and the supposed obsecurity of the indie web. still the internet though. remember those internet/general safety slogans drilled into your head as a child!
@nohappynonsense new brunswick nj is such wild specificity
it's where i live
