Finished this week's prompt- the timing of this one lined up a little too well with life events. It helped to write it down. https://owlsroost.xyz/muse.html#absence

Added a bit more to the mobile accessibility article AND added a new setting that outlines hovered text. Thanks to solaria for both ideas.

i came to neocities from practicing tuts on w3schools via just local files on my computer, so i was already familiar with mobile responsiveness, so it was strange to see the anti mobile sentiment on neocities. if you have a simple page thats just a main block of text you can honestly get away with just setting a max width and boom responsive. for more complex designs making it work on mobile is just a normal part

Likewise- I continue to be vaguely horrified by how hostile people are to mobile devices. Can't believe I forgot the simple site tricks- I'll have to add a section for those, thank you. Easy steps matter too!

I dug around your site looking around the webmastering material, and thanks to that (and the very generous templates you provide) I was able to do a full back-end cleanup of my own! Thank you very much!

Looking over the templates, understanding that I could streamline my code a lot better through CSS and discovering the fact that CSS has variables!

Thanks to that I'm actually starting to consider adapting my website to be mobile-friendly (something I'd thought of before, but frankly, as a novice, just seemed too out of reach) as well as adding more themes!

beautifully written, and horribly gut-wrenching. your writing is always extremely impressive, and I can only wish you the absolute best for all the life you do get to live - thank you for choosing to spend a little bit of that time sharing your art with us, truly.
Thankfully, I get more than ten years to live if this diagnosis gets confirmed. I just won't be able to work or live independently for as long as I'd hoped for.
your writing is so beautiful and moving, and absolutely devastating. the hope that runs through it is so powerful despite how terrible the circumstances are. please keep that hope alive, and stay safe. thank you for sharing your writing! - j
The part where you're looking up at your body at thinking it isn't you yet it's still responsible for much of what you experience in life is very relatable and saddening to me as someone with chronic illnesses. Thanks for sharing and I hope you keep doing your best with the body you've got.
