About

Hi there. I'm Sylvia (she/her). 🙋🏻

I'm a green bean.¹ I like milky tea, potatoes in all their forms, and science fantasy.

I write the way I talk the way I think. My favorite punctuation is the em dash (—) and my favorite emoji is 🙃. I enjoy parentheticals and segues and non sequiturs.

I also enjoy webcomics, particularly the following:²

• How to be perfectly unhappy
• Wisdom of the ancients
• Connoisseur
• Spider paleontology
• Range of emotions

My husband, E, has told me that my minutes are four times longer than his minutes. We live with our two cats in California. 🐈🐈

Say hello at sylvia@mail.eeeee.lol. I like emails (from humans, which is silly to have to say).

About this site

I have not created something for myself in a long while — and after reading Bringing back the minimal web and Don't make a blog, make a brain dump, I felt nostalgic and decided to spin up this little personal website.³

This website is:

• Powered by Bear
• Written with Notepad++ and a QAZ keyboard
• Styled with an Old Style system font stack, the Rosé Pine palette, Utopia's fluid scale calculators, and bearblog css playground
• Licensed under CC BY-NC-SA 4.0⁴ (not everything shared is written by me, but original authors are referenced & linked — they have their own licenses)
• Created by human, not by AI

My theme was inspired by:

• Katherine Yang's personal website — the notes on the side
• e.e. cumming's [i carry your heart with me(i carry it in] — the heart in heart
• Angello Torres' Masayoshi Takanaka – All Of Me poster — the colors
• mgx's archive — the post list hover style

In the spirit of learning in public, I'm sharing:

• My sandbox, where I play with CSS
• My theme CSS (my new theme is still a work in progress; I'll share my CSS when I've finished poking it)
• The Markdown for my pages (also not updated yet)
• A changelog
