plea for everyone to use semantic html at the very least for links. when linking, use the anchor tags because by default it turns cursors into the hand thing that indicates it's clickable. also important safety wise, it allows users' browsers have a sneak peek of where the link is taking them by showing the hovered link's url in the corner, while also allowing users to open links in a new tab.

I did so much fun stuff the past 2 months and it's going to take an even longer while to organize them on my site. so many things in the world. I've probably had the most fun with art these past weeks but I've also been very sad and lonely during it. I've never embraced sadness like this ever before

I went to an art museum yesterday, and felt these exact feelings. It was a great time, and I was happy that I went alone. Some parts of it were painful, and I was able to let that happen instead of maintaining social pleasantries.

I think it is good to leave the internet for a while, go outside, and embrace the beauty of life. This is why I've been inactive for a while, had lot of fun when I focus more on what is real

I don't need to maintain a connection that is toxic. Like someone who only say painful and negative things toward you. In any way we should not let that happen

added some more favorites in the library although my analyses are just surface level
just realized that updates may seem to be dated in the future for some people in reference to the js date script on the home pages. I'll figure out a way to make the date script pull from a GMT+8 clock I think

we really should start downloading stuff and owning copies of things we like. art will always outlive its creator <3

wholeheartly agree with this. I keep copies of all the VNs I like on a hard drive because the porn game sites I download them from will inevitably die!

I wish I adopted this idea sooner - there's quite a bit of art from Japanese Geocities sites (for an old game nobody knows/remembers) that's just gone forever now. I have a piece on the pinboard in my room that was printed out in 2005 and it may be the only surviving copy of this particular piece of art.

the online art community definitely influenced a lot of how we see art. a lot of arguments for not reposting art lie heavily on the monetization of art, which is an entire thing that also sucks. on the other hand is the intimacy of the art; I wouldn't want others repurposing something special that I created. but then if I really didn't want that to happen, I would know to not just share it online

art seeps deep. it's kinda wrong to birth such a thing into a big world only to leash it up. we really can't control what other people do to our art but I don't think we should see that as a bad thing unless it literally kills you or something

links are fundamental to the concept of webpages and so html was design to accomodate them. sites don't need javascript to translate a user's click into changing pages unless the changing of a page is intentionally being hidden. there are times when a button is better than an anchor link, but do know that these elements can induce unintended extra precaution in users that can make your site less accessible
Links are what make the web a web!
Why would anyone do it in a different way? That is so bizarre to me.
the websites I see with buttons instead of links usually have their navigation elements styled as buttons. I guess they thought since they want their nav to be button-like, they figured they should use the button tag. I think it would be best if buttons were reserved for executing actions that truly need javascript. anchor links can just be styled to look like buttons
I have read this very important p.s.a。🙂↕️
