As-salamu alaykum traveler, take a moment to rest and look around.
So, you've wandered far and wide through the internet and somehow found yourself here. Welcome. Take a
breath, look around, explore the various pages, read my musings. I'm Craft Beetle and this is my digital
home. I made it for you, to connect with you personally.
There are no comments, no likes, no algorithms, no AI, and no ads. This is a real human place for real
humans. I update every Sunday night, so come back regularly.
If you like my website, consider adding my button to your
website.
I'd love nothing more than for you to write me an email at craftbeetle@protonmail.com

Website
Added image compression to Films, Games, Shows, and Books, which has drastically increased
loading speed and with a fraction of the space and literally no visual difference because the
images were scaled down anyway.
Starting to identify the genus and species of the plants and fungi I have photographed as
requested by a good friend. Updated the page description to match. I encourage you to reach
out
if you have identified anything I am missing or got wrong.
