+
+      <p>You may have noticed that some new text has been added to the hoard pages. My house was completely destroyed
+        in hurricane Helene. I am still reeling from this, honestly. Consider the hoard page an archive. I don't think
+        I will be collecting anything again in a long time. I don't trust this area not to destroy everything again.
+        I'll update the pages with everything I end up with, and I'll add what I had but never uploaded. </p>
+
+      <p>Don't worry, me and my family and my cats are all okay.</p>
+
+      <p>Also, cohost is officially dead. I used a tool called <a target=”_blank”
+        href="https://github.com/cpsdqs/cohost-dl" aria-label="opens external site in a new window">cohost-dl</a> to
+        download an arhive of my cohost page. It's pretty large so we'll see if github pages will allow me to upload
+        it here. If not, I'll update this paragraph accordingly.</p>
+      <p>It really sucks that cohost is gone. I'll miss it. I loved it.<p>
+
+      <p>Sorry for the sad article, but it reflects how I'm feeling these days. I love y'all. Stay safe.</p>
