lb_leeSneak: I've bugfixed more of healthymultiplicity.com! Dillo is truly the best, it's made error fixing and access testing so much easier. T_T All that remains are our individual comics pages, which... ooh, that's a lot. (In the future, we might just upload .PDFs or .CBZs for anything longer than a couple pages, because manually making individual web pages for each comics page really racks up fast every time I update the site.)
It's still trapped in HTML 4, but upgrading everything to HTML 5 manually is a no thank you today.
Also, Orion OCR-ed My Double Mystic Marriages to Two Goddesses of Love: an Interview, so now all of our bookscanned PDFs are at least somewhat screenreadable and searchable! :D They also converted that big old bibliography into plain text, which I'm thinking of manually editing and posting up here! :D

Rogan/Mori: Man, can I just say how recently I've felt totally vindicated regarding a bunch of my professional decisions that I once agonized over? Just within the past year or so, everything seems to be telling me I chose well.
"Nooooo surely I can't leave all the big social media! Don't I need them to survive?" And now Twitter, Reddit, and Tumblr are all on fire and I'm completely unaffected professionally and have a way off every platform I'm on.
"Won't I starve if I don't start selling my ebooks on Amazon/Wattpad/whatever?" Hahaha the AI hordes have descended bro, the floodgates have opened.
"Aren't I professionally doomed by pivot-to-video/crypto/NFTs/AI art?" NOPE! They're all a bunch of fucking scams!
"Aren't I morally obligated to give my opinion and perform virtue regarding every current event?" No! I'm not! Instead, we do a bunch of glamourless cataloging, digitizing, and librarian work and it's GREAT! I fucking love digging around in old archives, chasing down weird old multi work like a big game hunter stalking a rare beast! It's way more fun, way more useful, and way less stressful!
"Shouldn't I find a REAL cause and give up this childish multi stuff?" And here I am, getting cited by academic articles and books by therapists, making multi porn and having a great fucking time.
I dunno, for the past few years I've worried I'm doing everything wrong, professionally, but when I had to flee my housing last month and send up the Bat-signal, everyone rallied to me and pitched in, and I'm doing way better than I expected to. It's amazing to realize that I'm in a position where, if I'm in trouble, my friends, colleagues, and fans will put their backs into helping me. I hope to always prove worthy of that trust and support. I'm truly grateful.
And I'm doing well. I'm happy.
