   Loaded after galaxy.css, which gives the page its night
   (body.page), the bar and the tokens (--accent*, --j-*). The page
   is the PICTURES: a mosaic of rows whose heights js/posts.js sets
   (--h per row, the widths by flex-grow = each picture's aspect), and
   a full-screen STORY that a picture grows into. The stories' words
   are set in Newsreader (--p-read); titles and controls in Space
   Grotesk, dates in the mono.
