My backup plan if Kyle Drake sells out to the US law is just buying server space at NFS, but I really like how this one looks.

Going through the website list, a lot of empty sites and Russians... not sure if it's as "diverse" as NC/NW but I'm really curious.

I was saving "get a domain name" for whenever I switch hosts, but idk when that is... But my third eye opened now.

(Side note: I have a new page drafted about a band I have a complicated relationship with. Not sure if it'll get off the ground.)

I can't do anything for MLP:FIM's 15th anniversary today because I'm going to run around the gayborhood again tonight.

Updating my art galleries also legitimately makes me want to blow my brains out. If anyone has advice, feel free to email me about it.

I discovered werewolf-girlfriend's (static) gallery template and it looks really good, I just do not have energy to sit at my desk and ~code~ anymore 😢 https://werewolf-girlfriend.itch.io/website-gallery-template

I've also been making Littlest Pet Shop customs lately but I haven't taken photos yet. Maybe that will be a motivator to test W-GF's template.

They need to invent a way to add new entries to a gallery page that doesn't feel like pulling teeth. (I use IRFANVIEW to make my galleries on some of my other sites - you just select everything, right click and "save as HTML" and it'll do it all for you - but adding new images after the fact requires doing the whole process over again).

It's not updating a gallery I have issues with, but it gets exhausting to compress files, upload to NC, code, then upload it. And my gallery template is too bloated to add more to, but I don't have the time and energy to fiddle with a new template or make one.

I'm genuinely so happy to hear about all the awesome irl stuff you've been up to, Capy :) often i go offline and feel like i do so much, and come back to the online spaces and realise that everyone is rehashing the exact same arguments & nonsense as if no time has past lmaoooo always puts things into perspective for me.

I'm still struggling, but the internet makes it worse and outside spaces weed out "online 24/7" types. The cycle ended up repeating the day after I published this, I was at the club on Friday and woke up to someone leaving a rude comment in my inbox elsewhere... Thanks for proving my point!

read through your recent longer entries - just want to say i completely empathize with feeling kind of paralyzed due to having to update everything manually... it does help moving to databases and having a few scripts for importing, way more chill. heavily agreed with online interactions feeling like parenting also

and i understand the burnout and real life feeling like its so much less high stakes than online interactions. its natural it will inevitably lead to just not enjoying writing stuff online

Corrected some typos and syntax. I'm debating on rewriting or SPAG-checking old pages, but it's probably better to leave them alone...

For those who don't know Bsky or Tumblr, I decided I like Littlest Pet Shop toys now and spent my day off trying to find a capybara. I failed.

If any politically savvy types are wondering why I didn't cover the Whitewater controversy, it's because I had enough on my plate when it came to research and fact-checking.

I spent last night running around my nearest city's gayborhood while drunk. The internet is a lot less cool than real life was 20 hours ago.

The updoot happened (almost) 4 weeks ago, but the moment it happened I immediately thought "god damn it, now I really do have to pick HM back up..."

Weird double standard when I don't care about the dithering effect that it has on my art or official things like screenshots, but whatever.
The drag and drop shit and having to update my offline copies and the dashboard is why I went back to social media LOL. I work 40hr this week, I don't have the time or energy for this shit.
It do be like that
