The Gang™

Welcome to my SI blog :)

[greenteaandtattoos]

The epidemic of young queers ignoring or cherrypicking queer history is really biting us all in the ass because Montana just tabled the bill that banned trans and gay panic, and many of the younger queers I’ve come across have no idea what gay panic really is, or what that means.

All they know about gay panic is the “Oh my gosh! I talked to a pretty girl/boy and I’m a girl/boy hehe so flustered” that at some point replaced the actual meaning of gay panic. Do you know how dangerous this is, that they don’t know of the dangers of trans and gay panic? It’s lethal.

As things in the US become more dire for the queer community, I’m begging the young queers: read up on queer - our, your - history. Talk to your elder queers. Really look into current politics surrounding the queer community. Don’t get all your info from social media, and absolutely do not take what you see on social media at face-value. Get yourself educated and prepared for what’s to come. It’ll save lives, I promise you.

Guys, if you don’t have enough money to donate or are unable to use your money internationally (like me), you can simply go to arab.org and click daily for free. Each click will send money (Lebanese Pound 1 per click. This organization is based in Lebanon and works with the UN) through ad revenues to UNRWA in Gaza. Besides Palestine, you can also support other causes in the Arab world for women, children, refugees, the environment, etc. Therefore, make sure to go to this site on each of your devices and click everyday.

(EDIT) You can also use different kinds of browsers on your devices to give more daily clicks. I've tried this with Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge on my PC. Now, I'm downloading Mozilla Firefox to click again.

(EDIT 2) Using the private mode of a browser after you use non-incognito browsing also allows you to click more in repetition. You don’t have to wait for a day to be over to click again.

“What is a personal website even FOR?“

When making a personal website for the first time, you may ask yourself this!

The answer is: fucking anything. Personal websites don’t have to be “presentable” if they’re not tied to your IRL identity or whatever. Look at old captures of geocities, tripod, angelfire sites. You had dedicated single-topic sites, sure, but you also had sites that were arbitrary, slapdash little hoards of the website owner’s Favorite Things, no matter how unrelated they were.

Some suggestions:

links to your 3 favorite other websites.

an essay about how cool hydraulic engines are

a sanctuary for all your favorite images, such as memes, that you’ve collected over the years

facts about centipedes you think everyone should know

competitive hardcore sims 2 speedrunning strategies

a portfolio of your artwork, or links to other people’s artwork you enjoy

elaborate lies and hoaxes (maybe even a whole arg)

useful survival tips specific to where you come from (personal recipes, trustworthy doctors, good music venues, eats that are both good and affordable, hot goss on who’s up to what horseshit on your city council/school board/university faculty/whatever)

original fiction that noone on social media cares about because people only like and reblog about what they already know. explain your entire fictional country that you wanna put in a real novel one day.

making people not have to dig through your tags to know where to find all your dracula meta (including the shipping manifesto you wrote 10 years ago)

speaking of fandom, you know that one piece of media you love that nobody else seems to have heard of? you post into the void and nobody reblogs or likes? nothing in the tags? Yea. Built a shrine to that explaining why EVERYONE should care about it. tell me how that pirated copy of Telefang made you the human being you are today

explaining your personal philosophies on life without worrying that you will get reblogged by randos calling you cringe

just generally being fucking a weird, unrelatable, unmarketable, extremely specific ass human being

*bangs pots and pans* BUILDING A WEBSITE IS THE BEST THING EVER!

Are you pumped at the idea of making a website from the words above but don’t know how to make one?

For absolute beginners that have no money, Blue Griffon has a free GUI HTML editor which can be much less intimidating than going pure HTML. But if you’re comfortable coding it without a visual interface I personally like Brackets best. (it’s got color and image previews and tag autofill/suggestion that makes scripting faster) But if you have money to spend, PineGrow is the best option I’ve found for a professional-grade GUI website editor and they have one time license purchases. If you’ve done any customizing of the CSS for Tumblr, there’s going to be a lot you’ll find familiar.

Don’t know where to start? I’d suggest a template but this one is more difficult. Back In My Day™, you used to be able to find website templates all over the place, now they’re almost impossible to find ones that are simple to use for beginners but this site is still alive and has free-to-use basic HTML templates and website graphics to give you an idea of what you’re looking at vs the code used to make it show. Some more advanced templates that aren’t on a dubious website can be found here. Or just steal code from other people’s websites. I’m serious! Most of what I learned was from opening up the View Source on a website and copying the CSS scripts to pull it apart. (now if it’s PHP, ASP, CGI or anything like that, you’re not going to see it, just HTML, CSS, and some JS.)

As far as where to put your site, Neocities is the clear choice for any beginner. They only allow HTML hosting so you’re not going to be able to use anything that requires a database or advanced languages but if you’re cutting your teeth, you risk nothing by starting a free account there. (and it allows sexually explicit content as well, just make sure your account is marked correctly) But if you want something more robust than that, you’re going to have to pay for it. You’ve probably head of places like Dreamhost, Bluehost, and HostGator, but I’m going to point out AMS Hosting because they got this 2.50 USD a month deal that includes Email and hosting multiple websites and that is unheard of at that price. And if the site you’re building fits the requirements listed you may be able to get free hosting from here. But that does mean you’ll need to get a Domain Name (NameCheap is pretty good) or a free subdomain if you’re feeling adventurous.

But if you really want to use a Website Builder I guess you could do the Squarespace, Weebly, Wix, Zyro thing. (both Wix and Zyro are the only ones that allow sexually explicit stuff.) I just think building it by hand gives you more control and freedom. (And before anyone says anything, carrd is not a website, it is a single page with its other ‘pages’ hidden. Fine for a small amount of info, but very difficult to use if you have a lot to share.)

[gittetj]

And if you think it’d be cool to dig around in the code you start out with to alter it, or even write something from scratch, there’s a ton of free resources out there for learning basic HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.

For example, I think Codecademy’s tutorials are pretty good for people who’ve never tried coding before since they’re very learn-by-doing. You can type along in the browser and immediately see what happens when you change your code. Here’s one where you learn basic HTML

For various technical reasons, it’s getting harder and harder to find websites you can easily “steal” from, so it helps to have a loose understanding of what you’re working with when trying to cobble together scraps of different templates and bits you did manage to copy from somewhere or other

[readwebcomicsgdi]

This isn’t a comic, but I’m reblogging it here because since starting this project I get asked a LOT about how to go about making your own site.

[pragmatismandmagic]

in 2020 a documentary about Melissa Lucio's unfair imprisonment won best documentary at the Raindance Film Festival. in 2021 Hulu (owned by Disney) acquired the rights to stream that documentary. On April 27, 2022 she will be executed.

Please, please help The Innocence Project save her. It's disgusting that so many people want to profit off her life but don't care enough to preserve her life.

Stop the Execution of Innocent Mom Melissa Lucio in Texas

Melissa Lucio faces execution in less than 90 days in Texas for a crime that never occurred. Join the Innocence Project by adding your name.
