text in hot type, i swear to god

you can always add more commas

it’s even LESS difficult if you allow hyphenating long words in reasonable positions and have a sizeable line length to work with

before you consider this an impossible task remember the average english word is four letters and there are a number of one, two, and three letter words, many of which can be optionally included or discarded at the author’s choice

it’s really not that difficult

if you're writing with the intention of publishing in plain text, doesn't *everybody* fully justify via word choice?! why wouldn’t you; it’s the one medium where you have exact control over line breaking and text flow and it’s not like it’s any different from LaTeX telling you to rewrite your line because it has too much badness

i could talk about aspects of that page design all day lmao it’s gorgeous

beautiful

those borders, too; i love the double borders on top and left, solid borders on the bottom and right trick

the <MARK> element on the estradiol stickies zine also does this really cool highlighter fade which is very similar to the highlighter fade effect which ⁜i⁜ used in Excerpts from Fear and Learning in America

speaking of subtle text‐shadows you know what webpage has a really good subtle text‐shadow on its <MARK> element? the estradiol stickies zine

mark{ Box-Decoration-Break: Clone; Color: #1F1A14; Background: #DEDBD9; Box-Shadow: 0 0 1PX #948D87; Text-Decoration: #B01C1C Wavy Underline; Text-Decoration-Thickness: .05REM; Text-Decoration-Skip-Ink: None; Text-Shadow: 0 0 1PX #948D87 }

kibi you fucking genius 😭😭😭

the slight text blur on Excerpts from Thoughts about Community Support around Intimate Violence gets me every time 😭😭

all of my webpages are so fucking pretty 😭

⁜why⁜ the internet browsers decided that the default link target should be the <IFRAME> that the page is sitting in is beyond me

the biggest, and frankly only, problem with a sensible <IFRAME> design is handling link targets (a.k.a adding <base target="_top"> to the start of every page)

what if i… nested IFRAMEs

honestly the only reason i have kept it alive as long as i have is i ⁜really⁜ like the web design; it’s preserved in ‹ https://www.u2764.com/OFIC/2017-02-12/Lite00/ › though so it will live on in the archives.

i now have my original fiction hosted at ‹ https://www.u2764.com/OFIC/ ›. the first two entries there are really the only things worth keeping alive from my (very) old website at marrus.xyz, so i might not renew that domain and formally shut it down when its year is up.

(there are some very old mastodon metaposts there, but they’re extremely antiquated and for historical purposes they’re still accessible through the wayback machine)

this writing reads like the writing of people who annoy me
