Website infrastructure

This site uses the theme Pulitzer designed by Anders Norén and uses a few plugins, namely Google’s Site Kit, my own custom SEO plugin that is privately available, LightSpeed Cache, Performance Lab, WP Carousel, among others.

Typography

Headlines and some minor features are set in the typeface Poppins by Johnny Ninhorn and Ninad Kale of the Indian Type Foundry while the body text and some headers are set in Cheltenham as designed and released in 1978 by Tony Stan for the International Typeface Corporation; the site title is set in Literata by foundry TypeTogether.

Fair use

Other work is used under the fair use doctrine, is in the public domain, or otherwise has the appropriate attribution and license accompanying it, when available. If you believe that I am republishing a copyrighted work of yours, please let me know so we can discuss.

However, please be advised that although I am not an attorney and am fallible, I have spent my adult life at the intersection of education and copyright and would like to think I have a pretty decent grip. But, nonetheless, drop me a note via email if you so choose.

Apocrypha

And, in the words of current oligarch, erstwhile PayPal inaugurator,3 co-founder of Palantir, and current commandant of the future apocalypse who cares more about controlling the world than being able to stay married to his husband, Peter Thiel once said, “you don’t know, because you don’t even go here, but we protect monopolies with copyright on Tuesdays—but, girrrl on Wednesdays, we wear pink.” Gosh, I sure miss Gawker.456
