"I would actually" in the "You wouldn't steal a..." meme format.
Tweet by @fr33bug5: "i love when i mention one of my favorite emo bands and people are like, "oh wow what a throwback i listened to them when i was a cringe baby bitch in middle school" and im like damn. i listened to them this morning"
no i don't have instagram. contact me through a series of intricate rituals.
I bring a sort of "just pirate it" vibe to the conversation that my "which streaming service is that on" friends don't really like
Be so completely yourself that everyone else feels safe to be themselves too.
I bring a sort of "knowledge is collaborative" vibe to community that people who stake their self-worth on hierarchy don't really like
Chat from me: yeah anyway. Reply from friend: "Yeah anway" after u poured ur heart out, okay selina kyle /hj
Tumblr post by user catullan. A biblically accurate angel with a speech bubble saying: "what do you mean Just Standing There Ominously doesn't count as socializing"

tweet: can't stop thinking abt cy smacking me and telling me to snap out of it while i was spiralling abt lx lthor. no bc they were right. i go intro a trance, it's not natural. reply: The feminism just visibly leaves ur body
tumblr post by lesbian-moon-gf: surviving the current age of internet means saying no to subscriptions and premiums for basic features. you must endure the inconvenience of not being able to use every server emoji in discord. you must build the patience to find alternatives like NewPipe so you can listen to music on youtube while your phone screen sleeps. do Not give these corporations your limited disposable income. tiktok not letting me view videos on my phone without downloading the app? i will outlast tiktok and the execs will be remembered as dull,disgusting capitalists. listen to me, listen to me. if you do not know how to pirate shows from hulu, learn. if you can't pirate it, it is not worth the money to rent it. please i'm on my hands and knees. do not accept this form of internet.
photo of a mask lanyard on a dotted notebook page. it's made of seed beads and has small, metal lobster clasps at the end. the seed beads are predominantly black, interspersed with dark iridescent beads (like the color of rainbow patches in gasoline). the ends of the lanyard has beads in the asexual, sapphic, and agender pride colors.
meme of a black and white cat with its nose encircled in red. an arrow connects the nose to the similar-looking album art for Linkin Park's A Thousand Suns.
tumblr post: "Trapped in the talkative cycle". attached is a photo of the cycle: oversharing > yapper's regret > vow of silence > irrepressible urge to talk

about the site

It’s my first time making a webbedsite, if you don’t count tumblr pages from a decade ago (I don’t lmao). This place is always a work in progress and most of it will be empty for a while, because I don’t really want to work on this all the time. I’m following the principle of “make it exist first, then improve it”.

Kamingawan is best viewed on desktop on dark mode. I am trying my best to make it alright on mobile and light mode too. You’re seeing me learn how html and css work in real time lol, so friendly advice and tips are welcome!

Big love to the friends and strangers on my Fedi timeline, who inspired me to get into the hobby! You know that one tumblr post? Kamingawan is a mosaic of everyone I’ve ever loved, but specific shoutouts go to:

  • Dawn, whose website charmed me so much I shrimply had no choice but to start working on Kamingawan. Most of the pages of this site are inspired by the early iterations of theirs.
  • Francis, whose nerdery about bisaya and the Bible gave me the site title Kamingawan.
  • Dylan, for the homepage blurb idea I shamelessly yoinked from their site.
  • Leir, who finally convinced me to start a blog. They also inadvertently gave me the idea to call my friends by emojis.

I owe so much to these sites for their tutorials and tools, for helping me fuck around and find out with minimal frustration when I was just starting to code:
