I cannot believe I had to find out about Republicans carrying little cups of cum around to own the Libs in meatspace rather than on Tumblr where were you guys

learning to code!

When I was 9 years old, I learned enough html to code neopets pages, my own geocities websites, and I even made forums on my own sites so my friends could all roleplay together or rant together lol. And then? I forgot so much. I no longer no how to make a forum, or even a 'next page' button - so even the dream of just making a simple blog or webnovel site feels like a huge hurdle now. (9 year old me could probably figure it out in 2 hours).

So I'm relearning! I figured this would be a fun post to place resources I find for coding, since there's coding languages, and I figure maybe if you like running you're blog then you also might be interested in tools for making blogs!

First, for those of you who miss the old geocities and angelfire type of sites to make your own free site on: neocities.org

You can make free sites you can code yourself, the way 9 year old me did. A lot of people have made SUCH amazing sites, it's baffling my mind trying to figure out how they did, I definitely wish I could make an art portfolio site even a fourth as cool as some of the sites people have made on here.

And for those pressed for time, who aren't about to learn coding right now: wix.com is the place I recommend for building a site, it requires no coding skill and is fairly straightforward about adding pages or features by clicking buttons. I used it to make my art portfolio site, I am testing out using it for my webnovel - the alternative is Wordpress, but wix.com is letting me basically make a wordpress blog Inside my own site. It's very beginner friendly in terms of "how the fuck do I set up a 'sign up for updates' message and have my site actually email these people my novel updates?" and "I need a 4x20 grid of my art down the page, that lets people click the art to see it's information and make it bigger."

I did neocities.org's little html tutorial today, it's the part of html I DID remember (links, paragraphs, headers).

My next step is to go through htmldog.com's tutorials. They go from beginner, to intermediate, to CSS. Unlike many a coding tutorial I've seen, they explain what program on your computer you need to WRITE the code in and then how to save it and how to open it. (You'd think this isn't a big deal but I've been looking into how to learn Python for months and I can't find a tutorial explaining what fucking program to write my python in... notepad? do I need something else? I don't fucking know!! My dad finally gave me a printed textbook which supposedly tells you what to download to start... I learned C++ in college and for that you needed Visual Basic to code C++, so I figured I needed Something to Write the fucking python IN.)

Comicstreet is returning to Brisbane for 2024! Yay! Mark off July 6th on your calendar and come on down to the Queen Street Mall for indie comics and art!!

btw if you're a Brisbanite making a comic yourself, you can apply for an artist table at Comicstreet! Applications close 29th of April - just 4 days away at time of posting this. Don't miss out! All the info you need to apply is on our website:

🦖 comicstreet.com.au 🦖

Some people may not know but Comicstreet is somewhat my (mamath's) baby, so I end up doing 90%+ of the work for it. That includes this years key art, which is a funny dino in honour of Akira Toriyama, who drew the best silly fantasy dinosaurs. 🦖

Sooo many good applicants for tables this year but I'm hoping we get more so I can open up a new section island of tables. :D Expand comicstreet!!!!

For some reason I'm starting to hate afternoons, when it gets dark at 5PM and it's cold and I have no reason to go outside and I have nothing to do and I'm alone but I feel like I should do something for myself.

This house is starting to feel like a prison and it's getting really uncomfortable.

how easy would it be if i just moved out of town with nothing but some clothes and my laptop huh

Lmfao! So it has been a while since Hurricane Helene destroyed the area that I work at and FEMA just NOW SHOWED UP to offer assistance to people that have been affected by the storm. Where the fuck were you guys when we really needed you TWO FUCKING MONTHS AGO! Over 90% of us have already recovered and opened back our shops again and you guys are a bit too late on that. We had to get by paying everything out of pocket and with the help of friends, family, and volunteers! None of the insurances or government assistance even came by to help.

If any links are broken atm on any of my sites, please have my MOST sincere apologies. The entire website is getting a facelift, inclusive of dns/webhosting, and things are bound to be a little bit construction-site-esque before everything is good again "OTL

heres a peep at the WIP tho-

Guess who's Instagram got deleted OUT OF NOWHERE. And I can't even message support about it because Instagram appears to have no ways of reaching them.

I wasn't on Instagram often, but I did have 5k followers there, and it was a very nice place for questions and answers. And now it deleted all of my work, and rampant art theft gonna go without any actual source to link back to.

Incredible.

First Tumblr nukes my secret frans santa blog, now Instagram destroys my WHOLE account... that's actually upsetting, yunno?

Idk. Maybe go give my twitter some loving before it also explodes when I turn away for like a second?..

did tumblr just remove pfp from web view, making this place even more bare of identity? what is wrong with them, i'm asking for real now...

edit: so pfp now only appears if you're the op, they really did say screw anyone who reblogs content, didn't they :)?

"the reblogging website" indeed.

brethren. help me out here i skipped ahead to s5 of Leverage by accident (no spoilers thank God) but while i was trying to get back to where i was i noticed that the Rundown Job is ep 10 on Electric Now's website while the Frame Up Job is ep 9. now last i checked Rundown aired before Frame Up so why did they switch it. is it a DVD order thing like s1 is it the intended streaming order and they just didn't say anything what's going on
