/* ============================================================
   mekhisimpson.com — one stylesheet for every page.

   Oct 26, 2026 redesign. A personal portfolio that reads like a
   publication. References Mekhi picked:
     - Wix Blog ("How to Start a Blog"): the masthead and the hero,
       a big headline left and a bold image on a color block right.
       Used on EVERY page.
     - Adobe Create: the card grid with small orange mono tags.
       The tag says where a piece came from (Shortlist, Roar, Ligo).
     - Penny Hoarder: thumbnail rows with a date, and a boxed
       sidebar card.
   Headings are handwritten (Caveat) to match the drawn portrait.

   HOW TO READ IT: tokens at the top, then base text, then each
   piece of the page in the order it appears.
