talking about british politics to people who don't have monarchies gets so stupid because you have to be like "yeah so theres the house of commons and the house of lords and they decide laws. lords, yeah. they're all nobility, as the name implies. no we dont vote for them. up until this year most of them inherited their positions from their ancestors. yeah we're ruled by nobles" without sounding like game of thrones

so sorry to my new followers who followed me during my brief and shocking burst of activity. im something like a perennial flower when it comes to webdev, in that for a very short while i am interesting and beautiful and then suddenly im just plain ol dirt again until next year. i am doing artfight though if anyone wants a chance at having their character drawn

also you dont even need to draw to do artfight. theres people on there turning others characters into cupcakes and bracelets and sandwiches. even a guy who'll make your character into a themed cocktail. you can do whatever so long as its a craft!

i like that every year artfight underestimates the amount of users accessing it and crashes. its a staple of the event at this point. big fan of the virtual waiting room thats new

got two settings i kinda want to add to the site but they are much more sex-focussed then my current selection and im not sure whether to just bite the bullet and make the site 18+ or to set up a second site in my AD account name instead and host it there. or just keep them to myself. i probably shouldnt be adding more anyway i still havent finished the ones on here

fed up with nostalgiaslop. whats the matter? afraid to let your work stand on its own so you dress it up in an easy recognisable hat and in turn degrade your own ideas because you worry nobody will like it if it doesnt replicate what came before? put the cheap appeal aside and make something with heart.

See this post is actually a hardening test, people who are true about their passions will continue to make nostalgic things anyway

and yet another prime minister has fallen! at least this one lasted longer then a lettuce. fucked up all privacy and data laws and left. the only funny thing about the british government is that we do actually have a shadow government. real term real job real thing. sadly they waste the name by just popping up whenever the current government says something unpopular to say they wouldve done it differently

isnt it mad how many sites on here are straight up inaccessible / hostile design. im also guilty of this im fully throwing stones from glass houses but man. sucks to try and get involved in the indie web if you have any kind of visual disability huh

comment prompted by the amount of eyestrain / terrible font choices / terrible colour combinations / flashing lights / autoplay / moving images / moving backgrounds i keep stumbling over. usually with zero warning too. moving backgrounds are the worst for me personally i cant do it but also. https://webaim.org/resources/contrastchecker/ shakes this in your general direction.

Yeah you're kinda shit out of luck if you're disabled with some of these sites. I have an artist friend who can't even get into making a site because he's dyslexic and will most certainly lose track of his HTML/CSS

@tabf5 this is exactly why i will NEVER hate on premade templates / site generators, they make this shit way more accessible.

anyway im only talking about this because Farage resigned from parliament because of Big Scandals and now Count Binface is the only runner for the Clacton by-election as everyone else is boycotting. which leaves the hilarious image of Serious Political News reporters having to interview The Talking Trash Can From Outer Space 100% seriously. theres also a guy in a fox fursuit. personally i'm all in on Count Binface!
have-you-lot-invented-fire-yet type government 😭 anyway go count binface!
wait count binface is actually real what the fuck
yeah man he's real! big fan of his policies which include making bicycle users who are assholes use unicycles instead, people who use speakerphones on public transport being conscripted, and putting the alleged HS2 railway through rail exec's houses.
holy based, go count binface
