i've been realizing that when people give you their number/social media they like. want you to text them somewhat often or start talking to you by text. which... seems intuitive, but for me, giving people my contact info is more like "hi, i think you're cool. i would like to be able to contact you if needed/i want to hang out." if i met you in person, i would rather get to know you more wherever we met. frequent communication by text is reserved for close friends and long distance friendships.
idk if anyone else is like this but. i feel like i should tell the people ive become friends with recently that this is how i function socially.
here's to trans girls, transfems & nonbinary people who don't tuck or use gaffs. you do not have to hide your crotch bulge for anyone's comfort but your own. your penis is not a problem, whether or not it is noticeable through clothing doesn't mean or say anything about you, and it does not detract from your womanhood and/or femininity. anyone who gets upset about that part of your body is invading your privacy, you will never be invading someone else's privacy just by being clothed and having a penis. your body, your rules.
Hi I just went to a forest rave in the Oakland woods so uh if anyone else went dm me? I’m just curious if my internet life intersected with my irl life tonight
ended up demotivated for months on a personal project... but we're so back, exciting things are happening. I implemented a functional, fairly readable json parser in 12 lines of code using my new library. more to come. eventually.
@agentreynard wanted to hear more about how I made my website mobile friendly, so here's what I did:
First, crucially, I already had a one-column website that used css to style the HTML.
This made it easy to adapt to smaller screens...as soon as I learned the following three things thanks to Christopher Heng's How to Make a Mobile-Friendly Website: Responsive Design in CSS:
1. You need this magical incantation in the HEAD section of every page:
2. You need to tell your images to simmer down and not be stretching out the screen by being as wide as they want. They can be 100% wide and no more!! Add this to the css:
3. And then you'll probably need to give the page special instructions on how to act if it's being displayed on a small screen. This is the fiddly bit. What you put in here will be specific to your website, but it'll all go at the end of your css, tucked inside one of these:
That's what's known as a media query and it can take a variety of forms. This one says that if a screen is 320px wide or smaller, these rules apply. You can also use "min-width" if you want to tell it what to do if a screen is larger than a set number, and you can put whatever numbers in there you want.
Mine looks like this:
Those were all classes I used for the original layout, only now I want them to display differently on smaller screens. So I shrunk all the margins to remove white (and pink) space and now that same page looks something like this on mobile:
I did the same thing for the story files themselves, shrinking the margins so there's more room for text, but that took a different set of rules because they've got a different structure. I also added "back to top" links to the bottom of all my navigational pages.
Now, this is clearly not a foolproof or comprehensive plan. Everything I know about HTML and CSS I learned through trial and error, so I am barely qualified to say even this much. But these were the three things I needed to know before I could stick my hands in there and really shove stuff around.
