A first attempt:

Meaning what, exactly?

This is my first web page, and my first ever attempt with any coding whatsoever don't judge too much, 'cause I am just straight up vibing here.

What are you, a cop? I don't have to tell you shit!

But if you're truly desperate for a more in depth list of reasons, then here, have at it:

I want to develop skillsets outside of those fostered by my academic work in history and classical studies
Social media as a whole seems to be going downhill fast and I think it's important to have a secondary space for myself online
To try my hand at various ill-advised projects, such as (in order of most to least feasible):
1. A fun and cool looking personal website
2. A way to track my progress in Elden Ring with an interactive map ('cause fuck Fextra)
3. Getting good enough at other kinds of coding to start making my own microgames
4. 'Cause we can't let the transfems have all the fun
Fucking around and finding out!

If your skeleton hasn't fled your body in revulsion at the sheer ineptitude of my web design, then hello!

I am very new to this, so I won't be offended if that's the case though.
Mostly.

If you don't want to do that, then take a look at my cat before you head off. His name is Noodge. He's an asshole and I love him.
