I’m always so comically indignant after nights when I do yoga, eat a good dinner, drink lots of water & no alcohol, take my vitamins, go to bed early, and still sleep absolutely horribly.
It’s like there’s some moral-absolutist homunculus in my brain going “virtue?? is not always immediately???? rewarded?!??!? HOW VERY DARE”
neocities guide - why you should build your own html website
do you miss the charm of the 90s/00s web where sites had actual personality instead of the same minimalistic theme? are you feeling drained by social media and the constant corporate monopoly of your data and time? do you want to be excited about the internet again?
try neocities!!
what is neocities?
neocities is a free hosting website that lets you build your own html website from scratch, with total creative control. in their own words:
“we are tired of living in an online world where people are isolated from each other on boring, generic social networks that don’t let us truly express ourselves. it’s time we took back our personalities from these sterilized, lifeless, monetized, data mined, monitored addiction machines and let our creativity flourish again.”
why should I make my own website?
web3 has been overtaken by capitalism & conformity. websites that once were meant to be fun online social spaces now exist solely to steal your data and sell you things. it sucks!!
building a personal site is a great way to express yourself and take control of your online experience.
what would I even put on a website?
the best part about making your own site is that you can do literally whatever the hell you want! focus on a specific subject or make it a wild collection of all your interests. share your art! make a shrine for one of your interests! post a picture of every bird you see when you step outside! make a collection of your favorite blinkies! the world is your oyster !!
i want everyone to make a neocities site because it’s fun af and i love seeing everyone’s weird personal sites that they made outside of the control of capitalism :)
I’m trying to figure out how to pitch this show more effectively bc it’s a comedy so I genuinely can’t figure out how to describe the plot, but if u want a very funny very queer show starring a deeply caring nonbinary Pakistani-Canadian nanny-slash-bartender who is Going Thru It because of factors including: their complicated/loving/borderline unprofessional relationship with the family they nanny for, their chaotic artsy ride or die BFF, their shitty-ass boyfriend, and their mom (sobbing), then please please please go watch Sort Of. It’s such a fun show, theres 2 seasons of 8 20min episodes, it’s been renewed for a third season but there is an absolute dearth of content for it on this website and I’m v sad bc it deserves better. Also if ur Canadian u can watch the entire thing FOR FREE on CBC gem at the small cost of annoying unskippable ads which are easily defeated with an ad blocker.
