MorDictionary Bear Blog

Editorial publication platform of MorDictionary, hosted on Bear Blog.

The MorDictionary Bear Blog is the long-form editorial and commentary wing of the MorDictionary project. It operates as a lightweight publishing platform for essays, reflections on lexicography, highlighted entries, & project philosophy.

Unlike the structured MediaWiki dictionary, the Bear Blog serves as more of a narrative and perhaps quite self-referential space.

Purpose

The Bear Blog exists to:

  • Publish essays on lexicography and language culture
  • Provide commentary on notable MorDictionary entries
  • Document MorDictionary's aesthetic and technical experiments
  • Articulate our philosophy behind collaborative dictionary-building
  • Provide a lightweight, distraction-free reading experience

Design Philosophy

The blog adopts a minimal structure powered by Bear Blog software, combined with the retro-website vibe of our Neocities site.


Gemini said A looping, monochromatic blue animation of thick hardcover books floating weightlessly in a dark, grainy void. The image features a retro VHS glitch aesthetic with horizontal scan lines, stippled shading, and flickering white noise, creating a surreal and scholarly "lo-fi" atmosphere.
This is a lo-fi, "Dark Academia" inspired animation featuring thick hardcover books drifting through a deep black void. The aesthetic is defined by a striking monochromatic blue palette and heavy VHS glitch effects, including horizontal scan lines and grainy "noise." The books move with a weightless, slow-motion quality, creating a surreal and hypnotic atmosphere often used as a backdrop for lo-fi music or "study-wave" content.

Example Content

Notable posts include:

* Retro Web Aesthetics and the Future of Lexicography (22 February 2026)

Posts typically explore the cultural, technical, and aesthetic dimensions of dictionary-making.
