Links
Assortment of links for things around the web.
Indie Web
...it's sorta obvious what's gonna be here. Im not friends with anyone Im linking here, I just liked the way their sites looked. This will be updated sporadically, whenever I feel like it. Any errors in the images (sizing, not showing up, etc.) are on me, and while I set about fixing them I advise you to check out each link anyway.
Descriptions of each site found here.

W3Schools - Tutorials on pretty much everything you need, if you've been looking around for resources then you've already seen this one plenty of times.

SCRIPTED - Both tutorials and add-ons for your site, such as Spotify and fonts. Not sure which category to put this in.

Psychopharmacologic treatment of borderline personality disorder. - Ripoll, L.H. (2013) - One of many articles I got to read as part of a school project. The way psychological issues are treated is pretty fascinating. My main takeaway from these articles is that nobody really knows how to treat anything other than mild depression.
Does "difficult patient" status contribute to functional demedicalization? The case of borderline personality disorder. - Sandra H. Sulzer (2015) - Discusses how a diagnosis of borderline personality disorder affects mental health professionals' perception and treatment of their patients. Foound this while researching the project previously mentioned. Wasn't able to use it as a source but it's still one of the most interesting articles Id read. Thank god I finally have somwehere to share it.
