convexer’s dumpster site

Hi, my name is not convexer and this is my garbage site. I created this site because I wanted a place where I could be my full & terrible self without worrying too hard about making a positive impression.

Topics of interest include personal shit, gender politics, regular politics, and the modern workplace. I don’t really proofread my posts, so let me know if I say anything that’s just wrong.

: We have a dark mode now

I made a dark mode toggle. It tries to default to your preferred color scheme but you can override it if you accept a cookie. There is probably a better way to implement this that doesn’t require you to repeat the CSS rules but I’ll figure it out later.

Philosophy: my whole site here is on a four-color theme, basically black, white, and then light/dark variants of fuckboy teal. Toggling dark mode just flips black and white, then replaces the light/dark variants of fuckboy teal with the other.

Dark mode should work on the guestbook, too (or will once I push the update). But the trix rich text editor used by Ruby on Rails doesn’t really support dark mode, so there are still some uncomfortable pops of white.
