New light theme on daylight savings plus I hate daylight savings

Currently my site theming is mainly based off of One Half dark theme / nord theme aesthetic, but the new light theme is going for a bit more solarized / light gruv-box vibe because I think a light nord theme looks a bit dilapidated. Get in touch with me and let me know how it looks. Couldn’t find a way to get it done without at least a bit of javascript, so I adapted some from kernal.eu. I suppose I was also misinformed that neocities allowed no javascript in my last update for some reason so neocities will stay.

In the theme of light, dark, and time; daylight savings needs to be abolished. at one point in the year I loose a whole hour of sunlight in my day, and another an hour of sleep. On a societal level, it messes with our circadian rhythms for no good reason in the modern era, higher levels of unipolar depression in the population, and results in unnecessary car fatalities (Chesak 2024; Ries 2020). I would like to perhaps make an extended rant about it someday but this is already too long for a simple update. Not sure how to end this, so, have a nice day and remember to drink water, touch grass, and talk to another person.
