The part that might be strange to the external observer: I am really enjoying myself right now.

@sarajw closely followed by finally getting exactly the layout I was thinking of, and going “no I don’t like that. Let’s try this other idea.”
The exploration and poking and learning is a delight!

having fun with :has() abuse
(note: this is the extremely fiddly version. If I still like it after walking the dogs, I need to adjust past “works on my browser”)

I find it amusingly apropos that the Atlassian job board is unnecessarily complicated.

Oh there’s loads more I want to do – a dark theme, for starters, and I want to fiddle a bit with the whitespace for the wide view – but I think I’ve hit “good enough.” Gonna let me brain cool off and start a nice little post-mortem post.
(and probably putter incessantly with little layout issues catching my attention already)

@nat It’s ridiculous. In my street rat days, some of my friends would try out a new name every few months. Some more often than that. We used the names they gave us, because nobody calls you by the name on your ID but cops and bill collectors.
Somebody that’s had the wrong name most of their life, and picks another one that’ll probably also last a long time, that’s easy.
I mean ADHD so I’ll still forget. But I’ll be forgetting the right name, because I care!
this did not go where i thought it would

I almost certainly won’t be sticking with this exact site style. Already been tweaking little bits here and here. It looks too much like a reskinned version of a theme I used five or six years ago.
But the pieces are there, and it’s in Astro, leaving room for more silliness later, so I’m pleased.

I think I might need some tea. It’s grooming time for the household critters and all the tiny noises are causing me angst.
