Acknowledgement of Country

I recognise that I live on stolen land and sovereignty was never ceded. I offer my respect and deference to the Elders of our nations, those from the past, the present and the future. In particular, I pay my respect to the land I live on, lutruwita, and her caretakers, the palawa / pakana people . I extend my respect to all Torres Strait Islanders and Aboriginal Australians , and our Indigenous comrades around the world .

Welcome to my website!

My website tries to be as accessible as possible, aiming to meet the highest WCAG standards (AAA level).

Let me know of any issues — see my contact info.

To do list & ideas:

  • This page, the projects page & sitemap page don’t allow reader mode, I dunno why?
  • Add ARIA roles / attributes
  • iframes need some work when printing pages
  • delete all unused social media / related sites and just use this site (e.g., i have a listography, but why have yet another account when i could use my own website?)
  • I have to learn JavaScript first, but eventually I want to have:
    • a colour & contrast mode switch (dark & light mode + high & normal & low contrast)
    • font switch (monospace or sans serif or serif or OpenDyslexic)
    • switch to view site without CSS styling (or only minimal)
  • old layout archives
  • finish my secret pages…! pages that are actively being worked on:
    • aego.html: an essay on aegosexuality
    • ausflag.html: alternative Australian flags
    • blinkies.html: silly blinkie page!
    • pets.html: a page on the critters that live in my house (that i willingly put there)
    • clinical-lycanthropy.html: an essay on clinical lycanthropy and gender (written for university, just need to turn into html)
    • did.html: an introduction to my particular brand of dissociative identity disorder
    • dogs.html: special interest page on dogs and other canines!
    • old-web.html: a page on the survivors of the old web
    • assistance-animals.html: an introduction to assistance animals
    • pcos.html: an essay on PCOS as an intersex variation
    • hysto.html & ts.html: pages about my surgical transition so far
    • religion.html: thoughts on my religion, and lack thereof, and presence thereof
    • why.html: thoughts on why i have this website
  • Currently this site doesn’t define fonts beyond serif, sans-serif & monospace (you will see your default or browser defined fonts), but eventually I want to include specific fonts (I’m waiting until I can write my own JavaScript to be able to put in a font switcher).

Updates:

  • : Added a visual separator () between the home & sitemap links in the navbar, just cuz I think it’s neat. Code editing for accessibility. Added some minor stuff to the alterhuman page. the storymap page’s footnotes got a code overhaul. Buttons on the scrapbook page are now in a grid, but i’m still trying to work out how to get the external link symbol to sit next to the buttons…
  • : shuffled the syllabus and some resource pages around. more little code fixes. trying to make the index page use less lists and more interesting presentations — check out the pseudo buttons above! removed the buttons in the footers and replaced with just a link, i think that’s less overwhelming. Integrated the issues section into the to do list. Edited Mischa’s page for (hopefully) readablility. I might have to re-think the dark mode’s colour scheme…
  • : some minor style changes to this page, made the to-do list checkboxes though i’m not sure how great that is for accessibility, since it’s not actually a form. might change it back to a list later?
  • : changed the to-do back. not accessible enough. updated code after running the pages through W3C’s code validators (my beloved), and renamed syl.html to syllabus.html. moved projects.html to the /page folder. Also, the license has been changed to CC BY 4.0 (meaning, credit me but I no longer care if you use a different license or sell stuff based on my stuff). And… I uploaded the buttons on the scrapbook page so that should show now… yeah.
  • : made a changelog, where updates will be moved over time. changed favicon (from wolf.svg to dingo.png).
  • : tiny update: somehow i managed to completely forget to define a:visited? so that’s fixed now. also, i’m thinking of completely redoing the colourscheme for both light & dark mode. i want to do a high & low contrast version of each anyway…
