god knows how many times i've tried to write this. what even goes in a bio? who am i? more importantly, who am i willing to portray myself as to an uncertain number of strangers? does anyone even give a shit?
in a way, the person you perceive when browsing this website is not real. dio isn't my real name, and i certainly don't have a skeleton face. well, i guess i do, but there's skin on top of it.
and yet, at the same time, dio is arguably more real than the person behind her. this is where i come to express things i keep hidden or don't talk about in the real world. that's something i miss about the early internet; the anonymity. maybe i'm fatigued by the constant self-promotion of social media. maybe i'm just pretentious. either way, here we are.
guide to the site!
the museum: short pages about some of my favourite women from history. three pages are currently up, and the rest will come as i can be bothered to make them.
i do have plans to expand it into a full museum discussing some of my favourite artefacts, accounts, and archaeological finds, but let's not put the proverbial cart before the horse.
the diary: self-explanatory really. where i get a lil mentally ill about it.
reviews: where i rant and rave about books i've read, for better or worse.
things: all sorts. links to my shrines, the chatbox, and some blinkies/gifs that i like. think of it as the curio shelf.
explore: this page has links to other sites, my web neighbours, resources that helped me build this, and a couple of my favourite places on the internet just for fun.
essays: my bullshit opinions on the world. this is slow going, as it's taking me a while to write them all and i'm pretty scatterbrained on projects, if you can't tell.
