ABOUT THE WEBMASTER
hello there! my name's Giz (or Jules, but Giz is my main moniker on the internet here :3) and i use they/fae/she pronouns. i'm a 23yr old queer autistic creechur lurking on the internet and making my own little home here.
first and foremost, i love to create. i love to create ocs, draw, write, make moodboards, scrapbook, and journal. to create is to be human and that distinguishes us from the rest of the animal kingdom and when we're human, we tap into the higher creative being who made the universe and the forces of nature and i think that's really neat. and the second big thing about me is that i love history. i love to sink my teeth and learn about how people were different from us in the modern day but also not so different. it's primarily the reason most ocs of mine come from different periods in history. i go in to learn about the time period on a more personal level. however, let's not divulge too much cuz that would ruin the purpose of this website ;3
MANIFESTO
the purpose of this website has three aspects
- autonomy - with the rapid arrival of the "metaverse" and AI-generated "content," it is a growing concern of mine that as an artist, the joy that comes in creating and sharing art would be stolen on mainstream social media especially considering the fact that i hope to make my art a side hustle alongside my main career. thus, i am making it my goal to slowly move out of mainstream social media and make my own platform here on Neocities.
- expression - by making my own platform here, i give myself the freedom most people on mainstream social media don't have. infamously on X/Twitter, the supposed bastion of free speech as declared by billionaire Elon Musk, one is suspended for simply saying the word "cis" or "cisgender", all because they are supposedly slurs against cishet people. another example is that on Instagram, activists for the liberation of Palestine are shadowbanned for posting news on the warcrimes committed in Gaza, thus having to rely on people manually sharing their content. while i am no activist, i won't have to worry about being censored for sharing my opinions on certain matters. and of course, this not only includes my opinions i share online but also my art.
another aspect to this is that mainstream social media does not have any options for customization. at most, one can only put emojis and special characters in their bio. for example, as a kid, i'd browse and dream of joining DeviantArt where i could not only share my art but also customize my profile with pixel art and page dolls. however, when i joined in 2020, it was too late, for DeviantArt had since changed their layout to Eclipse. needless to say, i attempted using the platform a couple times but it was just not the same. however, here i can personalize my website all i want without any worry about appealing to the digital capitalist monolith. - perpetual improvement - as one knows if they follow my site profile, i am constantly redoing the layout of my website. as of now, i am satisfied with how things are set up. however, because this is my own platform, i feel all the more motivated to improve my work and make my projects all the more better and expressive. in other words, this is like a dollhouse, i can always add more and rearrange things if i like it.
while i believe my own manifesto is sufficient enough for the traveling internet user, i believe this is far superior in wording in comparison to mine 💗
