I won't even lie, 2023 has been a great year for film and it makes me even more hopeful that the people who made that possible receive better treatment and fair compensation for their work. Support the strikes.

neocities guide - why you should build your own html website
do you miss the charm of the 90s/00s web where sites had actual personality instead of the same minimalistic theme? are you feeling drained by social media and the constant corporate monopoly of your data and time? do you want to be excited about the internet again?
try neocities!!
what is neocities?
neocities is a free hosting website that lets you build your own html website from scratch, with total creative control. in their own words:
"we are tired of living in an online world where people are isolated from each other on boring, generic social networks that don't let us truly express ourselves. it's time we took back our personalities from these sterilized, lifeless, monetized, data mined, monitored addiction machines and let our creativity flourish again."
why should I make my own website?
web3 has been overtaken by capitalism & conformity. websites that once were meant to be fun online social spaces now exist solely to steal your data and sell you things. it sucks!!
building a personal site is a great way to express yourself and take control of your online experience.
what would I even put on a website?
the best part about making your own site is that you can do literally whatever the hell you want! focus on a specific subject or make it a wild collection of all your interests. share your art! make a shrine for one of your interests! post a picture of every bird you see when you step outside! make a collection of your favorite blinkies! the world is your oyster !!
here are some cool example sites to inspire you:

say hi to me on neocities
The way people are making “barbenheimer” art with cheerful depictions of mushroom clouds is really disturbing to me. Those bombs killed hundreds of thousand in Japan, not to mention the people in the US who were directly affected by the research and testing without ever being made aware of the true danger. It really strikes me that people have become all too removed from the horrors of nuclear war and the testing and deployment of these weapons.
So please, before you decide to go draw pink mushroom clouds for lols, maybe read up on all the people they’ve killed, weather instantly or slowly.

Miles and Margo have such cool powers bro like Miles' ability to absorb electricity/energy and direct it back towards his opponent reminds me so much of Black Panther. Then Margo can literally be whooping ass while sitting at home like she ate that!!
My fellow museum pros: we should be looking at the current strikes happening and be taking notes
Some museums that are striking;
Shoutout to men with stretch marks, you are handsome
"Brock’s nightmare did not end there. At the police station, he was forced to show a jailer his genitals after explaining that he’s trans. And despite the fact that he met their criteria and has a penis, they placed him in a women’s holding cell."
What I like is how it is so nakedly obviously why the cop tracked him (Not stopped him, his lights were not on and he gave no lawful orders)
Brock flipped the cop the bird when he saw him harassing a woman.
This, naturally, isn't in the report because that's not a legal reason to arrest someone.
in your 20s you must rediscover the joys of arts and crafts to stave off spiritual decay
