I wouldn't have ended up on Neocities without Yesterweb's info. While I'm not particularly fond of nostalgia, I think many of Yesterweb's ideas are worth reading about for yourself. For example, permacomputing: slowing down or eliminating the silly cycle of tech obsolescence and replacement. (Unfortunately, the permacomputing website has become ridden with identity politics since 2023, though its core ideas are still great.)
Around 2019, I had become politically apathetic and nihilistic. After reading some feel-good article about a successful charity drive on a mainstream news site, I decided to dig deeper into this phenomenon, and found this piece on why crowdfunding sucks. It even critiqued the industry I used to work in. Jacobin was the first media outlet that was current and took positions I agreed with, and I've been hooked ever since. Their online articles are incredibly informative, which is invaluable when today's news reports through typically mainstream neoliberal or conservative lenses.
EWOC's Organizing Guide is easy to read and understand. Check out their printables and more detailed guides.

To a non-coder, this dark theme for the Jacobin website makes me look way more competent at CSS than I actually am. To anyone with a modicum of CSS knowledge, it will expose me as a total amateur. I made the theme because Firefox's Dark Reader extension didn't look great on Jacobin, and I use Dark Mode to avoid being distracted by eye floaters. I also wrote a similar theme for Canadian Dimension.
(I used to post my work on SoundCloud.) Yeah, okay, I write and produce music like everyone else seems to do nowadays. I accepted long ago that I'll never have access to high-end equipment, let alone instruments or software. But I'm still struggling with the reality that I'm no musical genius, and my work reflects that. Of course, please make your own judgements about my music.

It's satirical, but it tapped into a frustration I didn't know I had with web design for many years.
