Whew. It’s been a while, hasn’t it?
Some notable art updates since the last time I checked in here…
- Put up “Who remembered us? Considerations for Sauntiaq and the Field of Metaphysics,” a mock research article about Sauntiaq, the “hungry ghosts” of the ash tundra who were a pariah people for many many years.
- Added a little hub for Chief and the R.A., two women goofing around in an irradiated hellscape in the far, far future. They’ve put me in a psychic prison since about March and I’ve been making comics about ‘em ever since.
The back-end has been sorely neglected, but tonight I had a fire lit under my ass to take care of one big issue. I’ll cut to the chase: Turns out the Google Fonts API leaks your IP address to Google! I dropped it like a bad habit and moved to self-hosting my custom fonts, and I highly encourage you to do the same. There’s a wonderful tool here to help you do that.
We can all be a little bit web stupid sometimes. It’s old web wisdom that “free” services aren’t really free, so I am sharing this out of good faith and asking you not to sue me for my oversight. I’m… not sure that the legal costs would be worth a 110 USD damages settlement, anyway.
I will be cutting out Fontawesome next, which also collects usage data. I do not use any of their symbols on my site as far as I can tell; the line of code I’m thinking of is a deprecated artifact of the free template that I used to duct tape together this site back in 2018. For this reason, I don’t think it’s actually collecting anything from M0R1BUND.com. Still, I’m gonna peel it off with a spatula. Don’t need that where we’re going.
Also, for accountability, here is an abbreviated list of things I really need to fix up around the site when I have a moment…
- OPTIMIZE THE IMAGES ON THE CHARACTER PAGE. PLEASE LORE. IM BEGGING Y
- Fix Nendo + Dango’s tracker and its weird behavior on mobile.
- Fix broken links to old-1ore.tumblr.com
- Maaaaybe remove the blue bird website from my media list at the bottom of my pages. Just, yknow, out of spite.
- Apply nicer literature styling to RANSOM et al.?
