Really is a handy selector! Only issue I've noticed so far is that it messes with my usual way of doing back to top links, but I found a fix that works (per-section links as opposed to a single global one).

Anyone who knows the word for "active at dawn and dusk" immediately wins some respect from me. Haven't listened to much yet, but liking what I hear so far!

I chose that name because it evokes images associated with my music. By the way, it also refers to an altered state of consciousness. Thanks for listening, appreciated.

WOW, both of the last two poems have hit like Godzilla's foot. Incredible. Like an ant could ever pass for a wasp! Also always love a cheeky little trans(?) true name imagery.

Thank you! It's part name allegory and part "this person knows you so well that they know the essence of you that can't be translated into language", which is not too different from a self-chosen name at the core of it. I'm glad to hear that the last two poems have resonated.

I won't lie, I never expected anyone to actually read that given the current state of site, haha. I should probably set aside some time to work on it someday.

Doing some housecleaning on the Neocities side of things (along with a new page for not-cats). Cleaning out unneeded pages and images and making sure things redirect properly to the actual host.

Alright, I think I've fixed the webring submission form. Folks that submitted between the 2023-10-9 and today, please re-apply or send me an email! I apologize for how long it took me to notice the form wasn't working as intended. Turns out that From: headers are finicky sometimes.

Is the text in the Eye Scream section actually shaking or is that just my retinas being eroded
@skep, I did add a very small shake to it to convey the retina-eroding feeling, so good to hear that it works!
