hi hello and happy new year!
it’s been a hot minute since I logged in. I’m not here much at all any more, and I’ve barely been on Tumblr much at all in the past few months or really, in the past year. which I never thought would happen but I’m actually in my offline era now??? amazing. most of my time on this blog happened when I was unemployed and in covid lockdown, and now I have multiple jobs, another degree, and I spend as much of my free time as I can going outdoors or hanging out with friends. and I will be continuing that as much as possible in 2023.
anyways, all this is to say idk what’s going to happen with this blog going forward. going to leave it plus all of my themes up and available to use of course, and I may end up dropping the occasional code from time to time. coding is occasionally a nice stress relief for me. but I definitely won’t be around to keep my themes updated or respond to problems like I used to.
I know tumblr has changed quite a few things in the past year and will continue to, since like everything else, it’s constantly growing and evolving. yes I know npf is still doing stuff especially with audio posts, but I simply don’t have the time… or desire tbh to do anything about it.
so, sorry if you sent me a message about something not working over the past year, and apologies in advance if you send something in later. I probably will not be responding since I do not have time 💖
I found an old theme in my drafts I completely finished ages ago and completely forgot about so I may see if I can release it in the next few days. don’t like being the kind of thememaker who puts stuff out but isn’t around to fix anything that goes wrong but… well…. here I am.

Don't ignore this list—your support is URGENTLY needed.Each fundraiser here is an opportunity to help, and it has been made easy for you to find these fundraisers. You can easily save lives.Pick at least one to support. Once again, your donation can save lives.If you can't donate, please share these campaigns.
In Gaza,journalists are passing out from exhaustion and famine. Despite the ICJ ruling, the US and Australia are intentionally defunding UNWRA based on baseless claims by Israel that members of the aid group are Hamas-sympathizers. Netanyahu, of course, hasignored the ICJ ruling. Israel has banned insulin pens from arriving in Gaza, a particularly cruel and inhumane crime to add to their laundry list of offences. Nothing has changed, and things are getting worse.
It is not that hard to not buy things. To not watch things. Perhaps it is inconvenient, and makes you go out of your way, and costs a little more to buy alternatives. But if you were to attend a funeral a day for every child that has died in Gaza so far, it would take you over 27 years. When the worst that will happen to you is that you don't watch a TV show featuring a zionist, you don't buy a specific brand that donates to and supports zionism, how could that possibly compare to the plight of Palestinians who must amputate limbs without anesthesia?
Once again, this is the BDS list of brands to boycott.
Here is a comprehensive post about more actions you can take in support of Palestine.
Here is a list of verifiable orgs that provide aid on the ground.
credible organisations that are doing work on the ground in Palestine:

logged back into tumblr for the first time in months and immediately saw a zionist using one of my themes. anyways, here’s a reminder that zionists, islamophobes, anti-arab, antisemites, racists of all kinds, terfs, transphobes, homophobes, and the like are not welcome here and are not welcome to use my themes. gtfo. normally, it’s an honour that people are still using my increasingly broken themes but not when it’s on a blog spewing disgusting racist bullshit.
to the rest of you, it’s still an honour.

- if you’re a gif/graphics maker and you want your images to show up exactly 540px wide,pick the 570px post sizeoption to account for the post padding.

How to show active pages
While I was redoing my base code, I wanted to have a better way of showing which page I was on in the theme’s navigation.
First make classes for each page type using their blocks. I put this in the class attribute for <body>:
<body class=“{block:HomePage}home{/block:HomePage}{block:AskPage}ask{/block:AskPage}{block:SubmitPage}submit{/block:SubmitPage}-page”>
Then select those classes in your theme’s CSS. In my base code I’m using .links for my navigation, so replace that with the selector for your links.
.home-page .links a[href=“/”], .ask-page .links a[href=“/ask”], .submit-page .links a[href=“/submit”]
Using those selectors, you can add whatever styling you want your active links to have. You can see how I styled it on@eggbasecode.
To do this for custom pages (the ones added with {block:HasPages}),I made a more in depth guide!
Notebook
The desperately needed revamp of Notes! It has most of the features of the original, with these new features:
- Stickers! You can now have up to two stickers in your sidebar. By default the stickers will have some "puffy" sticker styling which can be turned off. Works best with transparent images.
- You can now pick between ruled/lined, dotted/bullet, or grid paper! If you don't want any of these, you can make your line color the same as your post color.
- You can now remove the tape if that doesn't fit your aesthetic.
- Optional box shadows
Please let me know if you run into any issues with this theme!
