it's the curious cat cafe if anyone's in the DFW area 👀

apparently this cat cafe has been 5 miles from my house for a whole year and i had no idea. so ofc i had to go at the first available opportunity #cats

hmmm grav seems pretty cool now that i'm looking at it closer... mayb i'll poke around w that

anyone got recs for a lightweight CMS for an art blog (not a formal static portfolio) that's friendly to multi-image posts? i don't mind doing some theme coding but would prefer an active codebase that's less monolithic than wordpress haha

i really like photosets on tumblr bc it lets me group companion pieces together while also showing all the images on the blog feed... once you click through to a post's permalink on wordpress you can do the same (and also intersperse text and images more freely which is neat) but i'd have to make my own post thumbnail if i wanted to show more than the first image on the feed and it's just frustrating that i can't find Any blogging software that behaves the way tumblr does

ive been drudging through different CMS's and website builders to self-host my art blog on and i'm pretty sure what i want is tumblr but without the social media part

if wordpress would just show all images in the gallery/photoset on the post preview i'd be good but no,

- i figured harry faked his death but i wasn't expecting just how irredeemably bad he turned out to be. not every bad guy needs a redemption arc
- there's potential in a mystery revolving around the protag not speaking the first language of the rest of the cast but be careful
- i really hope anna didn't know her crush was indirectly murdering babies cause otherwise uhhh
- the final sewer chase was fun! i should definitely run a sewer dungeon at some point

i think i'm gonna start a thread of watching/rewatching film noir classics and writing down plot threads and concepts i liked so i remember them for my noir-themed pathfinder campaign. why not
