Ever since Trump won the 2016 presidential election, I've had this "Star Wars against hate" symbol as my site's site icon, or favicon. In all the time it was up nobody at WordPress ever said anything, and I'm sure that hardly anyone who saw it had no idea what it meant. But after eight quiet years on my site the old favicon disappeared sometime this past week and was replaced with the WordPress default icon.
I have no idea why it went away, if it was a deliberate act on the part of WordPress, if something else. I'm tending towards something else because WordPress is written in PHP, and WordPress apparently stepped up to the latest 8.1 branch release around mid-June. I know this PHP update caused issues with one other blog that was unable to post comments after the update, so who knows what other little gremlins were let loose when the update took place.
My problem was I lost track of the original image I'd first used, and I'd never bothered to save a copy on my blog as a regular image. I've now saved this copy as a regular image which is why it's in this post.
Here's hoping that this blog will last eight more years (I started it in late 2013, so it's now over a decade old), and that I last eight more years (I turned 70 in December), and this favicon stays around just as long. We'll see...
