About Emlo Writes

Welcome to Emlo Writes

This blog is part of my retro corner of the internet. This is a place where I write about caregiving, disability advocacy, daily life, books, retro web projects, and the small joys that make life bearable.

Who I Am

I’m Emlo: a caregiver, disability advocate, retro web enthusiast, and lifelong reader. I spend my days supporting my family, building accessible Neocities projects, watching eagle cams, and writing essays that help me process the world around me.

My Design Philosophy

I love retro web aesthetics: pixel borders, pastel palettes, tiled GIF backgrounds, and cozy layouts inspired by early WordPress themes. But accessibility always comes first. Every page is built with semantic HTML, readable typography, skip links, high contrast mode, and reduced-motion support.

Let’s Connect
