our basil plant died today. something knocked it off the shelf and made off with its pot. i know it's just a herb plant but i feel responsible. im here all day while riza is at work so i should have been watching them more closely. fortunately the coriander, parsley, and mint plants are doing ok even though the same something knocked them off the shelf too. also 2 of our 3 barn spiders are missing.

  1. In light of Neocities's new local search feature, from which nothing can be excluded, I'm scaling back my semi-hidden diary section to 0. Once I've finished downloading this backup of my site, I'm deleting my entire diary archive. "Why have this section at all if you didn't think people would find it?" I DID think people would find it, but only certain people. Only the people who are following my site on Neocities itself and the people who look through the "Activity" tab at the right times. However, with the host's new "Hotcat" search feature, you can search for any keyword and, if it's on my site anywhere, including the diary archives, it'll show up. Right now, several keywords in combination with my username will yield results from the diary archives. If it were intended for general audiences, I would have linked to it on my homepage; so yeah. Draw your own conclusions.
  2. Riza made us a romantic dinner last night and we listened to Changes by King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard. That's probably my favourite album by them next to Omnium Gatherum because it's all like club jazz but the lyrics don't match the mood of the music. I've always liked to juxtapose easy-listening music with dark or cutting lyrics. But yeah, we had Beyond Beef steaks, salad, and potato chips and talked about stuff in a room lit by candles, then afterwards we watched some ATLA. It's one of their favourites and it's grown on me too. Riza is too good to me, gamers ❤️🧡🤍🩷💜
  3. Talking of ATLA, that's our next datahoarding project. I reserved the DVD's from the library last night so I can back them up.
  4. We have 3, count 'em, 3 barn spiders in our garden! I was a little concerned about the first one because she didn't look like she was going to take her web in before the severe thunderstorm hit last week, but she's still there. I'm thinking Mabel, Sable, and Label as names for them, after the Able Sisters from Animal Crossing. If a 4th one shows up, maybe that can be Gracie? I'll have to run it by Riza first though.
  5. The job hunt does not go well. Despite how vociferously the corporate feudal state claims that nobody wants to work anymore, they certainly are discriminating about who gets to have jobs.

riza and i went out to inspect the pepper plants earlier and we found a spider in our garden! she's kinda small, but she looks like a barn spider. same general web shape and the same markings as the bigger spiders that i've seen over the past few years. anyway, she built her web in the space between the peppers and the coriander and i hope she catches lots of bugs there ❤️🕷️🕸️❤️

tbh motherfuckingwebsite.com is a little too basic. i mean like, its supposed to be obvs. but you do need at least some basic css formatting so tiny little text doesnt go all the way across the page. especially on those ridiculously widescreen gaming monitors, that's a lot of neck motion just to read a single line of text. also pictures. it stands to reason if youre not whacking your site with javascript and css all over the place, youll have loads more space for pictures. if you optimise the pictures just by resaving them as a reduced-colour png or jpg in whatever paint program you have, you can increase the space.

everyone talks about frutiger aero and how they were born in the wrong generation but their websites look like the fuckint windows xp desktop. mothefuckingwebsite.com is more true to life accurate what personal websites looked like back in the windows xp time. "ohh but tina the frutiger aero era was 2006-2012". 2 things about that. 1, there was no "frutiger aero era". someone made that up to sell you an aesthetic. also, 2, personal websites were nearly unheard of unless you were some kind of industry professional because everyone was flocking to myspace and facebook. if someone HAD a personal website, it sure as fuck didnt look like gd windows 7. so when someone comes with a tryhard website that looks like an OS desktop and tries to say "oh this is how websites looked back then"

yeah no, cut that shit off.

Trans people need to use this Pride Month to get very loud about their existence and then never fade back down to normal. They want us to be quiet, so we'll get loud. They want us to get back in the closet, so we'll get in their faces. They want us to disappear, so we'll show them that we are everywhere. They want to erase us from history, so we'll show them that we've always been here.

We're also going to all get wise to FART tactics, especially in regards to dividing transmascs from transfems. Be very suspicious of anyone who refuses to use feminine pronouns for trans women and/or who insist on saying "AMAB" instead of "woman". Anyone who does that will most likely not refer to trans men as men either. "This is an AFAB-only space! No AMAB's allowed! Except transmascs of course, because you're still women, so you're fine 💅" Shit like that.
