Or more importantly I want to make this

I want this

Nah I’m just being lazy 😅 ended up using spans, but thought I’d see if there was a way.

Nothing crazy. Started with not having them to appear italic if the rest of the text is italic. And then playing with sizing and spacing slightly. I think it’s entirely font-face that I need to do

Ideally I’d be able to use some kind of selector at the top level in global.css. I think the only way though is using a custom emoji font and fucking with @font-face for specific Unicode ranges

The bits I’m enjoying:
- playing with svg filters (possibly too much)
- tearing my hair out about unicorn sprite responsiveness (fun. I don’t need hair)

What I’m not enjoying
- delaying actually making it accessible (I’m the only audience, right?)
- the amount of shit JavaScript I’m using

Let’s get one in for January! I’d love to do it again. Bring on the chaos

Theatre kid + emo = ghost stories

This neighbourhood is rife with history! In the background of this photo is the Charterhouse where on orders of Henry VIII, the prior was executed in the reformation, and his arm was nailed to the gatehouse door as a warning to convert to the Church of England. 💪

I’m so sorry

My years of running unofficial ghost walks means I’m chock full of this shit 😅
November 12, 2025 at 9:44 AM
Yeah I thought that might be the only route. But also I’m lazy and just want to use system emojis 🥲
November 12, 2025 at 9:09 AM
To be fair though, this is the most Amy-coded response though
November 12, 2025 at 8:45 AM
This is a great idea. I'm now going to do this and pray they hold charge 😅
November 12, 2025 at 8:27 AM
Yeah mine usually live in my pocket but I seem to have taken them out for something 🫠

I'd pay good money to hang out with Nick and Joe.
