Been reading 'Romola' by George Eliot from 1863 and this jumped out at me:
And even these mechanical printers who threaten to make learning a base and vulgar thing - even they must depend on the manuscript over which we scholars have bent with that insight into the poet's meaning which is closely akin to the mens divinior of the poet himself; unless they would flood the world with grammatical falsities and inexplicable anomalies that would turn the very fountain of Parnassus into a deluge of poisonous mud.

I've gone from drag and drop squarespace to full on learning how to wrangle Drupal in like six months and it's going Great why do you ask
a screenshot of my website, as I struggle to wrangle Drupal into something that doesn't look like garbage. So far, I've managed one big red square and one big blue square. Remnants of content peek through the debris.

I'm fixing up my portfolio site and was looking up old newspaper layouts for inspiration when I realised I have the genuine article from 1905. Also the accent color is almost exactly the color I use???

A screenshot of a work in progress panel of Havamal chapter 9. The character has big, wide eyes, not unlike that one scene in Aladdin when Jasmin is trying to get away with theft.

Just wait until he opens his mouth, that's where the doof lives.

wip for Havamal 9 over on @filthyfigments.bsky.social by the way - go read it! It's some of my best work and you can't get more ethical erotica than this!
A screenshot of a sketch in Procreate. A handsome manly face. Boring, uninspired, lacking personality. A second screenshot from Procreate. The man now has more distinct features and facial shape.
