hello! my site is currently under construction!
i am in the process of learning HTML and CSS (and some lil bits of javascript) in order to build this website from scratch. after having put together my digital library/archive on Notion dot com, i thought it'd be even more special to give it a home of its own. as i'm someone who loves to do things from the ground up, i knew that that home would involve me having to learn the basics of web development. i started creating this site on feb 16, 2025! this website will not only host my digital library but also my art portfolio, writings, zines, along with a bunch of other miscellaneous pages. as i'm coding everything from nothing, a lot of the pages are currently in the works. this is a test of my own willingness to let things be incomplete and exist as they are. a work in progress of its own.
feel free to click through the pages and explore keeping that in mind!
the site is NOT mobile friendly! it has a lot of very specific formatting & layout so it is viewed best on a computer! sorry!

fun facts about the site!
i am building this website going back and forth between VS Code on a 2023 Windows computer and Espresso 2.0 on a 2009 Macbook (probably super incorrect to switch between Windows and Mac systems! oh well!). having stumbled upon this webpage on how to build your own webcrafter
from a retro polycarbonate Mac, i scoured eBay for just the one! (my admiration of old and obsolete tech never fails me!) with all it's quirks, it lacks a fully functioning keyboard as the 5, T, G, and B keys don't work (having a bluetooth keyboard stowed away came in handy!) BUT it makes up for it
entirely by being complete with a built-in CD/DVD drive. can't get that anywhere else nowadays!
