About me!

Good question - I wrote a paper related to this in undergrad, and I think I'll revamp it as an answer here. Watch this space!

This website previously existed in a different form on Weebly. However, I came back to my site after an absence and found that Weebly had merged in some sense or other with a company called Square. I didn't even know what Square was, and now I needed to make an account with them to continue editing my site.

This was a free process, and Weebly remains free to use, but this was just a mark against using Weebly in my mind - I didn't know the future of Weebly, so the future of my site wasn't really in my hands. That, combined with the recent breakdowns of various large capitalist social media sites, led me to actually make the move to Neocities. The catalyst had been a post on Tumblr encouraging others to use Neocities to create their own website as independence from said profit-driven algorithmic sites. I saw that post, thought about my own fatigue with the capitalist internet, and now here I am!
