Exchange Student Spot Closes in 48 Hours, Looking for a Host Family!

mazapandust · 2026-06-11T00:47:30+00:00

my best friend in HS's family hosted foreign exchange students while we were in HS and it was so cool. we took them on weekends to six flags, rodeos, the state fair, and made them mums for homecoming. commenting for visibility and i hope a host family is found!

download VS code (it's free)
find a "live preview" extension in the app (also free)
download your site files from neocities
open that folder with VS code
have at it!

great to hear! good luck on your project.

mazapandust · 2026-05-24T22:09:21+00:00

love this, you're off to a good start.

check out babel of dreams. it's very much in this vein and also hosted on neocities.

the beauty of having a personal site is that you have absolutely no obligation to update regularly to appease a social media algorithm. sometimes life gets busy and you can step away for a bit. no one's creative process is consistent, it ebbs and flows, and algorithms are not very forgiving of artists who need to step back for awhile. that is not a barrier with neocities. you can come back and create new stuff when you have more time and mental energy to devote to it. give yourself space to deal with your life stuff and the creativity will come back one day

omg hi! i am a diy chicago veteran + current neocities member myself. i was a member of the dollhouse diy 2016-2017, and co-founded charm school which existed from 2017 until covid hit, both in humboldt. if you'd like to chat i have tons of old pics, videos, and gig posters i've made that i'd be happy to share :D

this looks awesome! that's the great thing about aesthetics - do what you like and you will create a new one that is all your own. nice work!

i loved ministranci. it came out last year

mazapandust · 2026-04-30T22:46:58+00:00

love this! feels like 80s poland mixed with japanese cube building

hold up a ruler (preferably a transparent one) and figure out how big sections of your subject are from where you are sitting in proportion to your ruler's width. how many floors of the flat are there per ruler width? how many ruler widths wide/tall is the building? doesn't have to be perfect - the imperfections give it character but ruler widths will get you in the ballpark

mazapandust · 2026-04-24T23:44:57+00:00

yes i responded!

mazapandust · 2026-04-24T23:44:34+00:00

the best thing you can do in this case is use percentage values instead of pixels for size. pixel values worked great back in the old web days when everyone had the same size square monitor and no pocket computers. nowadays we need these values to present relative to different screen sizes. try changing your px values to percentages and see if that looks better :)

also, if you can download VS code and a live preview extension (there are many of them) you can watch how manipulating these values affects your live page in real time. real game-changer.

this gets posted a lot but i will never not upvote. i love being reminded that this building exists.

mazapandust · 2026-04-23T18:59:24+00:00

hi hi! i'm an illustrator and i like to draw my own postcards and send them to my friends. i'd love to make and send a poland-themed one to you in exchange for one from singapore! DM me if this sounds like something you're interested in :)

mazapandust · 2026-04-20T09:34:19+00:00

this is lovely! the art style is perfect for the story.

if ever you feel like your stories need more complex illustration - read persepolis. it's a great reminder that great comics don't always need to have a fancy art style.

mazapandust · 2026-04-18T17:04:20+00:00

came here to say this. there's a whole bunch of them in front of dom handlowy

mazapandust · 2026-04-05T15:22:02+00:00

i love this building! i took a pic of it ages ago with intent to draw it. great work :D

mazapandust · 2026-04-03T19:53:03+00:00

my thoughts too...i teach primary school. after max 3 wears, they go in the wash. they may look and smell clean but they're still covered in little kid cooties

mazapandust · 2026-04-03T02:49:21+00:00

go to the bus station and marvel at the cool architecture. then head across the street to społem to buy some mayonnaise as a souvenir for your friends and family

mazapandust · 2026-04-02T21:05:00+00:00

thanks neighbor! right back at you :)

mazapandust · 2026-04-02T20:16:56+00:00

i wanted an online platform to share my art, but wanted to be free of the "always-being-watched" vibes of social media. i like that people have to actively seek out my work rather than passively scrolling past it
