hi! im replying 2 ur comment here since im a few days late (sorry) & w/ no notif here i figured u might not see it if i just replied there.—im so happy u liked my writing! & oh gosh yeah i saw someone talk abt the transeurasian comparison stuff recently, & it really does seem that a huge chunk of Robbeets's basic vocab comparisons are not very sound at all, tho im not familiar w all the materials to judge 4 myself…

fr fr like speculating is fun and all but this is getting out of hand :/ (I have deleted my mini Robbeets/Savelyov rant I originally wrote but just know... I have thoughts...)

always fun reading your writing, even w/o any knowledge of OC or MC. your remark on comparison occuring before proper reconstruction is hitting especially hard after having to read some transeurasian hypothesis stuff recently lol

new look (by that i actually just mean i changed the font used for blockquotes, added a display font and changed the font sizes a little) and new architecture (by that i actually just mean i moved the blogpost list to its own separate page & grid-ified the nav bar) for the site—please clear cache :3

oh, and formatted the joan stark ascii art on the front-page a bit better :)
Thank you! I put it in a while ago after i redesigned the front page — thought it would be fun to test my CSS skills with.
The technique was based on these wonderful facsimile Pokémon cards, with some tweaks to get a simplified form of directional shadows on the leather: https://poke-holo.simey.me/
oh WOW this is extremely cool. thank you for sharing!!
