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: recently updated neocities sites | it can be fun to just look through these and browse people's content! space bar | local interstellar dive bar creature feature | halloween & monsters big gulp supreme peanutbuttaz | personal site dragodiluna linwood | personal site patho grove | personal site

While going through books on one of my shelves (as I recommend anyone owning multiple shelves to do every now and then), I found this treasure (a souvenir from Edinburgh) I haven't exactly forgotten about but couldn'r remember where it was:

The publication is as awe-inspiring as it is intimidating. In all the years I owned it, I only dared to use one (1) basic pattern... From the second plate and first page of actual instructions. It's the highlighted part:

And I created this in GIMP:

(Yes, I messed up spacing in two middle rows).

Now, that I have found it, will I go back to it? Maybe.

But while I couldn't help to use this opportunity to show off my humble attempt, I am posting mainly to recommend the book. I don't know how it compares to others on the subject but personally I think it's absolutely fatanstic. It seems to still be easily available.

(I'll put more images in a reblog)

Hello. Do you know a site where I can watch old Arthurian series and movies with subtitles, such as The Legend of King Arthur (1979), The Adventures of Sir Lancelot...?

hey!

i have a ton of stuff available on my mega drive, including both the shows you mentioned ripped from my very own hard copies. bbc the legend of king arthur (1979) has official subtitles embedded in the mkv file that can be enabled in a media player (i recommend vlc). the adventures of sir lancelot (1956) did not come with official subtitles on the dvd & therefore has none. some shows, like bbc merlin (2008-2012), the subtitles are stored in separate srt files that need to be downloaded & added to the video file when you play it in a media player. (the drop down menu for subtitles will say "add subtitles" & you click the corresponding file, & it should automatically start playing with them!) i do my best to provide subtitles in some capacity & i intend to write my own for anything lacking them when i have the chance.

these are the links to my archives.

movies here

documentaries here

hope this helps!

When the Bible was misused…

Colonialism also polluted mission work in Africa for more than a hundred years. The same nations who sent missionaries also sent exploiting colonial rulers. The West laid the groundwork years ago for the heartbreaking civil wars we’re seeing now. 153

Unfortunately, for too long Africa’s people have been enslaved, raped, abused, dismissed by prejudice, hated, or just ignored. Their rich resources have often been collected and used by others –even stolen— with little if any benefit going to the Africans. Instead, their value has attracted foreign exploitation, enriching dictators and warlords, bringing bloodshed, starvation, and even modern forms of black-on-black slavery. 156-157

Queen Isabella required that when conquistadores went with a sword in their hands, they would have missionaries by their side. Their excuse for conquest was that they were bringing the gospel to the pagans. But the conquerors rape the women and stole the gold. 160

This is how many indigenous people were “evangelized.” In his article “How Did Native Americans Respond to Christianity?” Thomas S. Giles tells of a Spanish official in Central America in 1514, going from village to village. “Before they entered, they declared loudly: ‘Princes and Indians, there is one God, one pope, and one king of Castilla, who is lord of this country. Come at once and render him obedience, or we shall make war on you, kill you… [or] put you into slavery!’ “ 160
