Hi! I'm Scarl. I had a coffee at 3pm today (1st March, 2026) and it is now 11pm, past my bedtime, but I am both extremely tired and manic - so I decided to start a blog except I didn't want to use Wix or WordPress because they don't give you a choice not to use ai (boo!) so here I am learning to code so I can write some philosophy and poetry on a cute little blog in this corner of the internet.
In truth, I need a chamomile tea.. but what's the fun in that? I decided recently that I need to be more chaotic, so if writing code at 11.24pm on a Sunday night is chaotic then call me a crazy cat lady who seriously needs a strong cuppa clhammy. I'm supposed to be a philosopher, but I have yet to master the whole writing till 3am in a sparklingly ingenius frenzy thing and instead I opt for 11.28pm short and rambling sentences that I produce at approx. 25 words/minute and have made-up words like "clhammy" and "sparklingly" imbedded in them. I also lose any barometer of sounding pretentious at this hour and so become a hollow-eyed crow pecking at keys whilst trying to ignore the caffiene-induced, anxious buzz in my chest that is telling me I should be on my third chamomile tea-bag right now and what am I doing I will never sleep like this.
Please enjoy, at your discretion, the code of magpies. It is a list I have (as my year-3 teacher pretended to coin) 'magpied' off-of a folk saying the origin of which, for me, came from my mum but I know that I really should have Wikipedia'd by now. Please visit the sites in an order that is meaningful to you.
