i'm not judging anyone who's not a terf for being a member considering they conveniently don't mention that in their rules or anything which is part of what annoys me about it. they're pretending to be an in general webring when really it was created for an agenda, then they wonder why members would get callouts. (not saying the callouts are always appropriate since, again, the webring tries to not be transparent)

anyway i'm not trying to make neocities about "politics", but i am down for people who are joining a webring to know what they're accidentally associating themselves with. my umbrage is that it's insidious to just not come out and say what your intentions are. i myself almost applied for membership and i would have been upset to only find out after the fact

i'm a cis woman who doesn't hate trans people and i am 30 or 40 years old and i do not need this. anyway if you're a member of women of the internet and wonder why people ask you if you're a terf it's bc it was created by and for terfs and you met their standards by not saying your pronouns or whatever

i did not even know that a terf webring exists

oh, and you're a member of it and a terf, good for you or w/e. but umbrage is unrelated ppl who aren't being associated with your rhetoric bc the mods are too chickenshit and insidious to publicly state what their intentions were in creating it

@ruralrose it's bc they don't acknowledge that they are publicly. it's not even an iykyk eye narrowing sitch on my end. the creator flat out said in a thread they made it for terfs, and that applicants are thoroughly checked to keep out "trannies/pronouns/scrotes." ie it's supposed to be a webring for cis women who don't believe trans women are women

oh and fun fact: they then turn and question why current members would be let in if they're "mogaitards" (a mix of a phrase coined by a pedophilic abuser and an ableist slur.) ie, they also like. shit on the women for not womaning the way they want them to. ✨ feminism ✨

OMG, I think I accidently joined the group and wasn't aware of it! I believe in trans right and wasn't aware that they were a TERF group! I feel so bad about joining! T_T

a great alternative "webring for anyone and everyone who identifies themselves as a woman": https://ladiesofthe.link/

I forgot about the femcel webring ahah

@pizzacatdelights i'm so sorry to hear that ): this is exactly what i'm so irritated about, folks accidentally being associated with rhetoric they don't follow. i imagine if you email them and respectfully ask if you can leave they'll comply

also: nobody feel bad if you joined and weren't aware. it's on them for not just being upfront. you were essentially tricked into associating with it

@strawberry-gashes and the funny thing about that is my about me page, does have a pronoun list and on my DNI section, TERFs was one of them. Surprised that they didn't see that! And I did send them email to delete my website and then blocked their email too.

welp. i wrote an article on it https://neocities-users.dreamwidth.org/1715.html

@lostletters that link unfortunately doesn't work for me

@pizzacatdelights re: the acceptance that's interesting. about the email i wouldn't block so you can confirm stuff, i doubt you'd be contacted about anything other the removal

i'm not trying to pick on anyone but every time i see a splash page with a neon flashing background and max volume nightcore with no off function and nothing else but an enter link it genuinely worries me bc someone could have a seizure, get hearing damage if they had on headphones, etc... and then it also just genuinely irks me. i get having certain aesthetics but not if it literally hurts my eyes and ears

ty for the advise

you're welcome! i'm honored to be the first! ty honey ;w;

i can try if you tell me what you're trying to do!

at the bottom of my site it has my goal

the class was trying to figure this out for several minutes before i finally got sick of it and said "you can center the text itself, or add more text to see the effect of a centered div"

i am So Close to asking if i can just do a project for her and get a full grade for this class. luv u prof but i am constantly internally screaming

This was me during my Communication Media class years back. We were learning Flash/HTML at the time, so I just went ahead and did my own thing and the professor couldn't do much about it, since the work was better than what he could teach.

so much oof lol

i've really been Holding It In to not be a dick and correct her and let her remember to check w3s. idk if it's normal i can remember certain things off the top of my head or not but i kinda feel like it'd seem like i'm flexing in to chime in like "iT's RePeAt-X you're thinking of pOsItIoN"

oml lmaooo

i wish i was in a web development class ngl

note: i really like the professor i just get very "can we get on with it" sometimes 😔

lmao it's........ Okay, i guess

my professor, who is old enough to have white hair: what's wrong with tables? 😤

I tried grid and it's really hard to get right, i prefer flexbox so much moreee

yw honey!
