About

Gallimaufry is an experimental site I created to ~have fun~ and reconnect with the awe of the internet I had when I was younger.

As I’ve been learning web coding, I’ve been considering my earlier experiences with it through Tumblr and Myspace in the late 2000s. I would find premade HTML and CSS code to copy and past onto my pages and edit with my own content. For a lot of people, particularly girls, this was their introduction to coding.

The ability to create and customize entire sites dedicated to content that didn’t really have a “purpose” other than expressing my own interests feels untenable today in a landscape of social media monopolies. I still use them, but I think this is much more fun.

This site is an homage to the earlier way I and other girls engaged with the internet: creating fan pages, posting streams of consciousness, and messing around. xoxo, Avrie
