50th day of this site, and somehow it crossed 10,000 views and 20,000 hits today exactly. Even stranger: for the first 2-3 weeks this site barely got single digit traffic. Now people are sharing my posts around HN and Lemmy, my guestbook is no longer empty, some people even liked my button, and I got an email from someone I genuinely respect a lot. Never expected any of this ^_^ Thanks everyone!

It's probably been a few hours since I started writing the structure of another post; this one is titled: Tools Are Cultural Objects Before They Are Functional Ones It's over 15k words in length, it will be intresting as well as tiring to write it...

New post: “Modern Creativity Rewards Visibility Over Thought” Ended up being over 8,000 words. It examines how modern creative environments increasingly reward visibility, metrics, and constant output over sustained independent thought. Also added automatic word count + custom reading time calculation to posts.

Posted a long Girls' Last Tour review/analysis on the site. Volume 6 completely changed the series for me. The final ascent, the library, and the endless staircase stayed in my head for days afterward. Added a bunch of panels throughout the article too because the scale of the world is impossible to talk about without showing it (´-ω-)` https://frostecho.yorniq.xyz/media/reviews/girls-last-tour/
