You can post replies on posts from side blogs now!!!

Yay now I can reply to posts on here from my side blog and not my main. Yippee. - @botanicbones

Genuinely, my main dissertation writing tip for PhD students (or anyone!) is to make an additional document for each of your chapters, and then paste everything you cut out into it. Cannot describe how many times I went back and retrieved things I thought I’d never use.

Steven Hopkins:
YES
For every file I'm working on, I make "samefilenameCUTS.doc".
The shadow doc often comes in handy late in the game!
And it frees me up from anxiety while editing.

Ashley Nicole Black:
I do this with scripts too. And I've never gone back for anything in there, but it helps makes it psychologically easier to edit when I know I can.

c e aubin:
Yes! Especially if you have to cut out a part that is particularly well-written or poignant, but doesn’t fit the structure or theme of the section. Less painful knowing you can still access it.

"he's a hot gay old man who would give me painkillers. smash"

tumblr poll smash or pass ok so I like unhinged weird men but only when they like each other so I'd have to pass on that principle alone but also because I don't need painkillers HE needs them so I'll leave him to it bonus: I'm gay and this isn't the man who'd be the exception lol

I spent last night looking at Neocities sites and here are my takeaways:

There's a real push to keeping the internet weird, open and less corporate-driven -- info on bypassing paywalls, protecting your data, archiving web media and basic coding/tech literacy.

(I found one tutorial on how to make a pop up that detects whether someone has an ad blocker and suggests they install one if they don't! Love that.)

There's also resources on finding the kind of internet that isn't the default experience anymore - alternate search engines I hadn't even heard of, human-made link lists and webrings. (Webrings! Turns out they never went away!)

If any of that sounds interesting to you, by the way - sadgrl.online has a lot of it and is possibly the best thing on the internet????

The "90's web" aesthetic is really fun and nostalgic, but I particularly loved seeing some people bring the better parts of the "modern internet" into it. What if we had weird, eye-searing personal sites BUT with plaintext alternatives for accessibility purposes? CW for flashing lights and unreality triggers?

(Again sadgrl comes in with a lot of resources for making your website accessible.)

Most of all, I'm honestly emotional about all the sites I found that were like, "hi! I'm 14 and this is my website where I talk about stuff I like haha."

It's so good that so many kids and teens who never experienced the "old internet" are still finding stuff like this and making their own weird stuff! Not just because weird websites are more fun, but because these skills are being passed down.

Anyway it's great and who knows maybe I'll make my own site sometime to keep horror media recommendations or something.
