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.

Focus First webring submission code seems to be having some issues- I'm troubleshooting it now, but if you've submitted a site since 9 Oct 2023, please shoot me an email at owlsroost@riseup.net so I can add you.

It's a weird issue- some emails get through, others don't, and I'm unsure why. At least I know the failure dates- thank goodness for logfiles!

Looking forward to poking around your site again more thoroughly when I've got time, but for now let me just say I really love Catalogue in the poetry stream. It's so tidy with its images, even though it's pulling from several different places. Love the new owl art, too. Life has been chaotic, but not all bad. Thanks for being a friendly feather to welcome me back. :)

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 literally just logged in for the first time in six trillion years(and overnight story) omg the coincidencess
Yes, you can just pack so much symbolism into the idea of a true name.
