I understand the sentiment “nonbinary people don’t owe you androgyny”. It’s an objectively correct phrase! But…like…I’ve never seen anyone celebrating nonbinary folks who are androgynous? Who are visibly queer? Idk it’s starting so sound less like a breaking of expectations and more of “You don’t have to be one of THOSE queers”
i like your website! it looks very nice
especially the gradient colored text!! you used a separate font to make it more legible
whenever i try to do something like that, it always becomes really hard to read... maybe i should learn some basic web design?
my website looks like this and it took two days of fiddling with css
Thank you! The biggest thing with making text legible is making sure there is enough contrast between the text color and the background or make the text big enough that it’s legible even if there isn’t that much contrast. The best guide on color contrast that I know of is the Mozilla docs! If you scroll down to the solution part there it has many tools to check text contrast.
Since your website has a warm bright canvas background darker colors and gradients would work better and end up being more legible.
If you’re looking to learn more about web development and especially CSS I strongly recommend Kevin Powell on YouTube! His videos on flexbox and grid are very helpful in understanding those new browser features and making responsive websites (websites that look great on any screen size). For example, I used grid for the nickname table and for my projects so that on desktop those elements would be wider and shorter while on mobile they’d get narrower and taller.
I love your site too, especially the canvas theme with the green branch/orange leaves and the clever span box to show your favorite color complete with a title tag featuring the hex code!
To be clear my site took me at least 20 hours of fiddling and development to make. Feel free to look at the site code (and my commit history) on GitHub!
I love They Both Die At the End, it’s such a pretty novel
Overheard in a thread about restaurants offering free meals.
"If people that don’t need it take it, it says something about them. If you don’t give because of the chance someone might take it that doesn’t need it, that says something about you."
It also lists our what I’m currently working on and what I’ve worked on in the past!
A tutorial for my 196 refugees still figuring everything out. (I ran out of rantsonas at the end)
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.

It represents wave particle duality which is a great metaphor for my gender: I am both a probabilistic wave and a discrete particle. I am constantly collapsing into a particle when I’m observed (you either know my position or my velocity but not both). When I’m not being observed I am a probabilistic wave of possibilities.
The two particles — one in the middle and another up and left from the center — represent why I continue to do anything, my reasons for existing:
The middle dot stands for understanding how the universe and everything in it fundamentally works — an aspiration that the fractal theory of everything helps me with.
The other stands for mutual unconditional love — especially the love I have toward my partner who is the first person I felt mutual unconditional love with.
I look forward to adding many more dots over my lifetime whenever I find a new achievable goal to strive toward. I hope eventually I will find both fixing the increase in societal inequality over time and fixing the increase in global warming achievable.
As of present both of those issues are far out of reach for me due to the immense inertia that both of them have and I don’t want to spend time fighting for one small shove against those boulders rolling down a mountain, a shove that might crush me in the process. I would rather figure out how to meaningfully change their paths for the better. Maybe that involves exploding the boulders. Maybe that involves flattening the hill. Maybe that involves adding a ramp to the hill so the boulders fly away, never to be seen again. Maybe that involves learning to be a Jedi so I can use the force on the boulders. I’m not sure what the solution will be but I know I’m not at the point where I can have a meaningful impact on either of them so instead for my well-being I would rather focus on issues that I do feel I can make a significant impact on today, in the hopes that eventually I will have enough wisdom and power to make a meaningful difference on those two big issues at hand.
My guess would be that the compiler is not added to your PATH environment variable or you need to restart your computer. I’m not sure which OS you’re on, but if you follow the instructions on this page in the “install a compiler” section then that should help you properly configure your PATH environment variable.
hi sorry if this is a dumb question but I'm just starting to learn to code and I can't figure out how to set up visual studio code for c++. I've installed the extension and a compiler but still it doesn't work. Maybe you or one of your followers could help me out?
Hiya 💗 Yeah I don’t have any experience in C++ so if someone could help out here thank you!
You, a human, can also do this! It’s surprisingly comfortable. Try it at your local treebranch today!
Yknow the thing where red pandas just lay down on a branch and let their legs hang and they’re just like vibing
There has been a lot of research about autistics over the years, but this one really took the cake!
This is what happened when researchers attempted to compare the moral compass of autistic and non-autistic people…
