hats your opinion on that sharks are older than polaris like entirely
w
sharks are one of my favorite animals and the fact that they’re so stupidly old certainly helps. like they’re literally just so cool. sharks have been around for so long that they’ve existed while our sun has orbited around our entire galaxy. TWICE.
No uh, the rumors were not about ezgender. That wasn't what I was getting at. Ez made that blocklist and spread rumors about other people without actually verifying all of it. Nobody should be making a public blocklist with an easily accessible list of everything wrong someone's done because it can't be taken down unless the person decides they want to be gracious enough to do so. While Ez took his blocklist down, it encouraged other people to make their own compiled list of "problematic behavior" which included rumors Ez had started. But then when he was called out for being problematic himself, he blamed it on his paranoia and decided "Oops! Ez is actually a headmate and he disappeared!" He felt absolved of his behavior after that and then got to vanish off of Tumblr entirely, while people dragged into his shit are still being called out ("Did you know so-and-so is actually THIS blogger from back then?!" Childish shit.)
hi, anon. i think you might’ve misinterpreted what i said on accident? let me try to clarify. when i said nobody deserved what happened, i was referring to how nobody deserved what he did to other people, blocklist included. i was not referring to rumors about him. sorry if that was unclear.
he was my friend for years. i was there for all of this while it was happening and i know- at the very least- as much as you do. possibly more. trust me, i know all the stuff you’re talking about.
Isuggestforcefem was like the least problematic person of all time and still got banned, then the minute pendulouspuppytummy even spoke up about this she also got instantly nuked :) hi staff Matt mullenweg personally targetting Trans women again?
ngl ill always be sad that inviane went from "an umbrella for terms that can only be described by an image. there is no other description or describing the term besides the image itself." to just a general "a gender related to an image" like. 😔

SAME. IT MAKES ME SO MAD LIKE ACTUALLY. GRRRRRRR!!!!!!
Thank you for not falling into the ezgender drama all over again (You can censor out the name if you want to.) Nobody deserves to have a bad past brought up again, especially when they were harassed by people who fell for nasty rumors about them. Some shit was true, don't get me wrong, but then there were unfounded claims thrown in the mix. It was a mess and I feel as though nobody involved got any kind of closure.
yeah, god. nobody deserved what happened to them, and it really sucks they never got any proper resolution. it just kind of… ended, one day, and for some people it was after years of harassment. i’m just glad it’s over, and i hope the community has since learned to not let someone run wild with that kind of power / influence over others.
i wonder what other sorts of html templates i could make that could be useful to people in some way… laundry layout is good as a basic sorter / categorization page, rentryish is good if you’re just porting over a. well. rentry. but i want to do…. more
i love this so much i know it says it doesnt scroll but if you write more text would they “stack” kinda like this
its exactly what i was thinking for my collection site i just didnt feel like learning how to execute it lol
no, but you can make the cards as long as you want, and making them scrollable is so incredibly easy that i just decided to add in the ability to do it in the css. i might as well!
the element for the cards [grid-item] has this
if you remove the two lines with the /* and */, leaving behind the overflow-y: auto, then all of the cards will be able to scroll like this automatically if the text overflows :)
I JUST LEARNED A NEW HTML THING
OK SO YOU CAN DEFINITELY MAKE THEM DO THE STACKING THING YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT!!
all you have to do is change “height: 350px” to “min-height: 350px”
this’ll change it so that if the text gets longer, so will the box
only thing is, i dont know how to make the boxes below it meet up with the rest of them… so it’s kinda a bust for the time being. but i’m sure someone smarter than me can figure that out and i’ll eventually add it into the code. :)
i figured it out and it didnt even take that long
i went to the scripts [javascript] portion of the code near the bottom, and changed the layout from fitrow to masonry
but instead of going all over that, i’m tired, so i just made a masonry version to go alongside the normal one, if you’d rather have this over static rectangles or scrolling

the best thing about learning how to do web coding is over time there’s more and more ideas you have that you’re realizing you could just. make yourself. instead of having to rely on someone else to do the code stuff you don’t know and then lock some features [carrd] or having to work within the limitations of a site that isn’t fully customizable [tumblr posts] or both [rentry]. like i can just do that shit. sure maybe it’ll take me a little more time but not only is it entirely and completely min,e i can also customize it much more extensively than any of the previous options and neocities lets you just download your own site whenever you want. did i mention it’s free and you can get multiple neocities sites for 5 dollars a month that you get to keep even if you unsub later. why are you not making a neocities rn
once you understand how the underlying stuff works, you can edit it so much more than before. i used to use this tumblr page code that looked kinda small and wonky, but it used filterable tags and i could use it for my stels and kintypes and things, so i stuck with it. i didn’t know how to make it look or behave in a better way, so i settled for what i could get
i literally just learned how to be able to make it myself and my entire everything has just been blown wide open. i never have to rely on some other site or some paid tool or an app or whatever in order to display information i can filter / tag ever again because i can DO IT MYSELF
i was gonna use a miraheze wiki in order to make stuff for my ocs, but whenever i went on a hiatus they’d threaten to close it. i also don’t really need all the wiki tools for it, i really just need the pages to display information, i needed links, i needed simple pages, i also really wanted dropdowns which i just learned how to do in html, doesn’t even require js which i used to think i couldn’t use on neocities for some reason.
but what else was i going to do, right. what else was i going to do. can you figure it out. that’s right i’m making a neocities idek what a toyhouse is bro

Polarisal: A gender that is, or is tied to, the North Star (Polaris.)
Can also be called polarisgender or northstargender for the sake of simplicity. If you want, you can use polarisal for something other than a gender identity, like an ecter or alterhuman experience.
Years ago, I designed this multigender flag and symbol. I ended up finding the original post for them archived, and I’m gonna re-upload them here.
So, this is my multigender flag proposal, part 2! It also includes a proposed multigender symbol that I made to go along with it. The plus sign on the symbol represents having an indeterminate amount of multiple genders, and the diagonal lines coming off of it are based off of the epicene symbol and subsequent genderfluid symbols, mostly as a homage.
I kept the blues and oranges from the most well-known multigender flag as a show of respect. Of course, I didn’t base every stripe off of individual umbrella terms, because I knew it would be inevitable I’d leave some out if I tried that. Instead, I focused more on it being a wide range of colors that I’m sure anyone could relate to some or all of, as a way to show the variety of potential genders someone could be.
So, this is a flag for people with multiple genders. This can include bigender, trigender, genderfluid, pangender, and many more, as well as just being its own term.
Here is the symbol, one is in white and one is in black. They are of course completely free to use for your own stuff, to plaster everywhere, literally anything you want, I’m releasing this fella to the wild. Hell, you can even slap it on a different multigender flag if you want.
Agnogender: An identity where the user feels connected to a gender, and might roughly identify as such, but isn’t sure what that gender is supposed to feel like in the first place, causing a disconnect.
This is a re-upload, and completely new flag, for a term I made years ago. The original version can be found here.
As an example, the user might have a difficult time understanding the specific identity in question, or identity in general. This could be for a variety of reasons, like identity disturbance, dissociation, being obscurian, nonhumanity, or just having a complex connection with a certain identity, or identity in general. Whatever the “disconnect” in this definition means is personal to the user.
Agno- can be used as a prefix to attach onto other terms, like agnoman, agnowoman, and so on. The root comes from the word agnosthesia, which means “the state of not knowing how you really feel about something.”
The symbol used on the flags is the kenochoric symbol. The effect used to create the small colored lines is called chromatic aberration. The plain, unedited versions of these flags can be found below, or linked here as a backup.
“afab chests aren’t inherently sexu—” please say breasts please just say breasts please please please stop throwing the term “afab” around say tatas say titties say big bahoona bazingoroos if you must
not to be that guy but if you’re talking about breasts, say breasts. if you’re talking about pregnancy, say pregnancy. you don’t have to bend over backwards coming up with wacky shit like “uterus-having pregnancy-carrier” or “afab presenting nipples” to be more inclusive. half the time, it’s not inclusive anyway. so just be specific. a person with breasts can simply be “a person with breasts.” it’s easy, it’s fun, it’s free
worked so hard on this code and had to come up with so many original ideas just to make this shit work that i feel comfortable enough writing a full credits page in it and actually listing the stuff i came up with. i had to make so much shit from scratch because i can’t take no for an answer and insist that if i keep trying, eventually it’ll work. and i mean, this time, i was right. i really did get the weird little nested menu thing that apparently didn’t exist yet to work. after 5 hours. and almost throwing my computer out of a window.
hghhhhhh
lovingly listing the isotope docs on top as if it didn’t nearly kill me earlier (I HATE JAVASCRIPT)

so can any null, empty, void, or liminal gender experience. so can, quite literally, any uingender [obscurian is one of the first big kenochoric umbrellas i ever made, and it’s pretty much a synonym to uingender.] any darkness or obscurity / “unknown”-related genders. vague genders. distorted or “wrong” genders. i could continue on. if you can feasibly tie the thing into some kind of concept that feels kenous to you, then it can be a kenochord, from gendervoid to polarisal to hadalic to obscurian. this is why i always scream “it’s vibes-based” from the rooftops.
saying “space is big” feels like an insult with how much of an understatement it is. it’s confusing. vast. unknown, directionless. makes you feel tiny, contains things so gargantuan we can’t comprehend them. unfathomably dark and empty. we even have a whole word to describe things that are so incredibly huge: “astronomical.” space is so, soooo kenous.
keep in mind that just because someone uses a kenochord does not mean they must identify with the term kenochoric itself, or experience it in a kenoine way. it just means “hey, this term fits the vibe of kenochoric, so it can be a kenochord.” things coined to be kenochords should be… well, kenochords, definitionally speaking, but there’s a big difference between that and how you as an individual will relate to or use it.
this is why i am some terms that were obviously coined to be xenogenders, but still don’t consider myself to be xenogender. i do not experience xeninity, even when i’m using what’s supposed to be a xenogender. instead, i experience them as kenochords. they fit the vibe, so they count. i don’t experience a tangible “xenicness,” so i don’t consider them “xenogenders” for me, personally. they should still be categorized as such, but broad categories vs. personal usage will never be a perfect match.
Just so people know, epilepsy warnings aren’t about, like, purity culture, or online leftists acting as if disabled people are real. It’s about my mom
We human beings have discovered patterns of light and/or sound that kill some people and we should probably not have hissy fits about your right to fire a weapon at my mom. Like if you could put some text onscreen explaining the upcoming seizure-inducing patterns so that people can scroll away. That’s super fucking easy. i AM sorry that something as mindless as a tiktok edit could kill someone but hey, so could driving to work every morning, we all treat THAT accordingly (long, pointed stare. because yes we had better be treating that accordingly too)
The casual abundance of Thing That Kills People doesn’t mean you shouldn’t avoid killing people

god, there’s so many names i wanna try out. save me. i’m really liking north, but there’s yet another one i want to try out. i’ve been wanting to try it out for a while…
the name in question being juno. jupiter is one of, if not my favorite planet, and while jupiter doesn’t feel right as a name, juno is the name of a spacecraft that orbits it. it’s short, it’s unisex, it’s greek like lethe is. it has a very distinct “outer space” feeling to me, but not too much. but i have no idea if it’s just a name i like but would not enjoy having applied to me, or if it’s something i’d actually want to be called.
mmmmmmnnnnnnnnn no. i’m just going to stick to north. i like it too much.

i feel like theres so many opinions of yours i dont know, like whats your favorite bird??? do you like the ruby-throated hummingbird??? did you know that 1 out of 900 ruby-throated hummingbirden have not heard machine girl's new single??? much to think about
oooh, my favorite bird? i love barn owls, but i think i would have to go with either albatross, or chickadees. my hometown has so many chickadees, i would wake up to them in the early morning and hear them wake up with the sunrise…. i also of course love mourning doves for very similar reasons. vultures are really cool, i got to feed one at an enclosure once. and, of course, albatross are very cool. one of my favorites for sure. they’re just so… large, and beautiful, and the way they can fly so very far… and how it’s bad luck to hurt or kill one, of course. i find them a little mysterious but in a lovely way. also love snowy owls and great horned owls. i really, really like birds, i think i could go on for ages.
hummingbirds are so cute… my mom used to have a little nectar feeder hanging outside in the garden behind our old apartment, and i’d sit there and just watch them zip around, impressed over how quick and precise their movements were.. and their long little beaks? adorable.
a shame for that small portion of hummingbirds who haven’t gotten to hear the new machine girl single, someone give them a break so they can go listen. :(
Kinda wish I wasn’t feeling more and more vindicated every day about calling it from the start that treating the AI issue like a moral crusade where you have like a moral obligation to prioritize signalling and reaffirming your hatred of generative AI at any possible chance would lead to a lot of ostensibly “progressive” people uncritically parroting extremely reactionary rhetoric.
Like people becoming more comfortable expressing extremely conservative opinions about copyright or extremely catholic opinions about the role of The Human Soul in the nature of art was shitty but expected.
But watching otherwise “progressive” people start to parrot jokes about like “Clanker with a hard R” and “screws will not replace us” and whatnot is like 🫥 Never in my life have I wished more I had been wrong about something lmao
respectfully, my opinions are kept private on purpose. this is either because of privacy, or because i just think the entire argument is stupid. if that bothers you or makes you uncertain on if you want to follow me, you have the full right to not follow, or even block me. it won’t offend me. but i am a stranger on the internet, and i have full right to not disclose things about me, or how i feel about anything that i don’t want to.
i am politically active, but i’m not interested in online discourse. i consider them very different things, and the latter is a waste of time and energy. deeply toxic, rife with a lack of nuance, reactionary behavior, harassment, and bad-faith engagement. it makes me miserable, and it probably makes you miserable too. don’t get me wrong, i have opinions on some of it, but i don’t need to share that with strangers. i don’t want to, so i don’t.
also just in case- i’m not sure how my tone sounds in this. so here’s my disclaimer that i’m not trying to sound pissed off. i’m just very firm on this.
