hi, welcome home. i'm Sol! this site is an evolving collage, a memento box, one of my online brains.
good starting points are the blog, gallery or, of course, sitemap.
solflo.neocities.org is the current home of whatever it is i want homed more or less independently. that is, this site is whatever the hell i feel like putting on it at the moment, which tends to be variety blogging. the visuals can be quite inconsistent because i like playing with css. there's an rss feed if you'd like to keep up to date with my posting, sometimes with additional commentary just for you.
most images on here have alt text, but the site is untested with screenreaders. there are light/dark themes based on your browser's preference, and i avoid eyestraining and adjacent graphics. contrast might be lower than advised in places because i find high-contrast extremely hard to read. the site doesn't rely on javascript, and while it uses html5, it's perfectly usable on a browser like lynx — though stuff like detail tags looks kinda weird. it's entirely responsive / mobile-friendly.
my goal is to have the website load fast and not take up much room, and be browsable by most. i've written some of my thoughts on digital degrowth and conscious compression on my april 2022 artlog — i also recommend reading about permacomputing over at compudanzas and xxiivv. while i think planning for some sort of post-apocalyptic collapse scenario is kinda silly, it's an interesting view on tech and computing.
sometimes throughout the site you'll find links like this. those are gemini protocol links, and you can't open them on any regular web browser. there are several clients you can use (i like lagrange). or you can also use a proxy like the smolnet portal. i usually link to the proxied version of a page when linking to gemini, but sometimes i forget. for more info on gemini, see the project homepage. my capsule is at gemini://sol.cities.yesterweb.org. i haven't browsed or posted over there much recently.
names are Sol and (occasionally, on some places) Venus (space theme accidental). i'm a transexual androgyne (they/them), brazilian, artist, born in 2001 and raised on the worldwide web. i dislike capital letters, enjoy plaintext, and love talking about myself but am very bad at writing "about" blurbs. figured i'd give it a go anyway: i love reading about the people behind the sites i visit, so i'll give you something to read as well!
now.html has what i'm currently up to (projects and interests), think of it like small talk. haunts.html for all my external links (stay here for a while though!)
haven't checked the site in a while? here's stuff from the past 6-ish months
