Convenience Store Woman by Sayaka Murata is a japanese novel about a woman whos worked at a convenience store for 19 years and how shes a little fucked up. Its not that long so it might be good for trying to break back into this ' Words ' shit.

All Tomorrows by C M Koseman is a 'speculative evolution' science fiction genre book about how different species of humans evolved after aliens came in and messed with them genetically, its a little bit ooey gooey icky but with a hopeful tone of the Indomitability of The Human Spirit. Its also written in the perspective of a sort of historical account.

I havent actually read it but, House of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski sounds like a very cool surreal story that plays with the formatting of the book. Though this does require you to get a physical real copy to experience the full effect. Typing that last sentence i just remembered the existence of 'The Library', making getting a real copy a lot easier than i implied it to be. Im too ebookpilled

the furry community would be devastated in all senses of the word

I think it would be cool if it only lasted a set amount of time after which it disappeared magically. Like a retention policy.

We should implement that.

People would make more

I think a lot of people would be very relieved that their pics are finally scrubbed from the internet, and then a lot of people who make money from porn would carry on as normal since they just continuously create that stuff

Go to some swampy ass place. Jet fuel can't burn well hydrated tree trunks.

chicago is on my list actually

Chicago....

i would turn into a puddle

Minnesota is good, it only gets smoky from the west coast fires like, one day out of five years.

i like cooler latitudes

I was going to say Atlanta but nvm

It just seems easier to spin up a wordpress blog instead of having to maintain software on your end just to do the same thing. But if you want penny sheets or xeroxed zines you could probably just print out a couple of copies of your writing and nail them to the front door of your local Alamo Drafthouse for something just as satisfying

So apparently zillion people agree with you since it is a very popular way of running a website. My hesitation about it is that it might be a bit too heavy for my purposes. My project is such that I could go full web 1.0 and full on just write html+css+javascript in a text editor. I could go that route, but I like some modern conveniences such as tags, archives ordered by date and so on.

With the risk of being pretentious, I'm thinking of Samuel Johnson style affair back when he published short essays as two penny sheets. Or something more contemporary like a xeroxed zine.

In the end I think I will research it and Jekyll and see which one I prefer.

The onlt issue with it being ugly is that my CSS skills are limited. But the static site is pure HTML, CSS, and a teensy bit of JavaScript (for rendering LaTeX).

I'd write pure HTML but I just get in a flow better with Markdown

Yeah it's the ugliness thing that makes me wary of following in your footsteps. That said it would be nice if I could turn my blog in to a ebook, like, instantly.

If you want to go the self-hosted route, there are a number of static-site generators out there with many themes available. As mentioned in this thread, Jekyll is one of them!

I can't recommend one because I ended up making one my own (just a script that uses pandoc to convert markdown to html) but it's ugly lol.

my friend uses dreamwidth for her book review blog and i think as a user you can create communities that act as separate blogs?

if you go the self hosted route i like jekyll for this purpose. you can host entirely on github pages which is where i host teatimer.site (although i don't use jekyll for that, it's too simple to need jekyll)

What about WordPress? It seems customisable and independent enough that you don't have to fuck around with likes and reblogs etc.

P.S. to see a first hand example of my level of techitude, see my custom styles for jstpst.net - Saturn Valley or something. I use it solely for this site and it imitates the save file and character creation screens of EarthBound. Also, mint green and light blue squares are objectively the most delicious looking background graphic possible. I would sincerely wear a t-shirt based on EarthBound save file and character creations screens!

Omg I just can't wait for Halloween!
