Hello! This is my #introduction post, and I figured that I may as well share that I have a new story out on Orca, a Literary Journal. Happy to be here.

Not sure folk are aware that using Google fonts by URL in their CSS undermines the privacy of each and every site visitor, sending their IP to GG with every visit. How? Because with each visit they download the font from GG, not your server.
If you will use GG fonts, don't do this
@import url('https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=FontName[...]
Download that font, and resource it locally instead
@font-face {
font-family: FontName';
font-style: normal;
src: url('../fonts/FontName.woff2');
[...]
}
Just got an email encouraging me to submit to a contest that closed days ago.
