Please boost as a reminder to the many, many creators who design pins and flags for literally every other identity, for people who forget or don't know that we are failed by the medical system the instant we're born, and for the rest of our lives, again and again.
We go into the hospital and say we're cis or trans, because otherwise we WILL be refused treatment out of hand.
Intersex People Exist, and we have a place in pride.

hot take on pretty much every recent "hot take" 

if your "hot take" is that people should treat people like people, can we construct a new universe where that isn't a hot take and move there instead

please

It's done! I gave up on demi{sexual,romantic}, but yeah. My site is no longer valid CSS Level 2, but it was totally worth it! I have pride banners! And, unlike your least favourite corporation, I have no plans to remove these come July 1st. Pride or sloth? You decide.

Anyways. Wanna see 'em? Check 'em out here:

Oh, man. I'm adding a bunch of new website headers for pride month, and this is great. They're done in CSS, you won't be able to see them in Dillo and the like unfortunately, but they're pretty. I'm trying to figure out how to do demi{sexual, romantic} without conic-gradient(), but yeah. I can't wait to get these up on the site proper!

We gots a new pupper!

His name is Buster, we don't know where he came from, we don't know how old he is or what breed he is, but we love him nonetheless

you can avoid the scunthorpe problem by simply letting your users curse

Art vent 

Nothing makes me feel more incompetent as an artist than seeing drawings labelled "doodle" or "sketch" that are better than my actual artwork. Don't get me wrong, it's not gonna stop me, but oof, man. Oof.

Hot take: HTTPS isn't that necessary.

I mean, if you're handling passwords or anything similarly sensitive, it is absolutely necessary. But, like, for a simple, text-and-image-only website, do you really need it? Probably not. It's not the end of the world, put it that way.

This isn't to say that you shouldn't use HTTPS for these sites, mind you. Just that you don't need to, really.

Hey, check it out! New avi!

Remember Lilix? Faer back~! And this time, I bothered to properly design faer, or at least bothered as much as I could be bothered to. Fae has a colour palette now. Take what you can get.

Anyways, we'll see how long fae stick around before I move back to something else.

Hey, so, on the subject of *femto*Hertz (why do I always add a p there?!), a fun fact for you: The universe is ~435 fHz old. So, yeah. There you go.
