Free the Internet! Save the Web!

this website was made with the help of petrapixel's layout generator! without it i would not be able to complete this project by the end of the week

statement of purpose

all i want from this project is for someone to think a little more carefully about their experiences on the internet. it'd be awesome for you to take charge and make your own website and forget about tiktok or twitter, but i don't expect that from everyone reading this

please try to be healthier about your use of the internet if anything else
