Hi,

I truly appreciate to support Black Lives Matter, however it would be great to have an option to somehow get to normal mode.

Currently when going to [julaobserver.com](http://julaobserver.com), I need to open HTML developer tools via inspect and delete the black foreground. 😉 I guess that is not intended

Both [JuliaObserver](http://juliaobserver.com/) and [JuliaPackages](http://juliapackages.com/) are back up. Apologies for the [inconvenience](https://github.com/djsegal/julia_observer/commit/1926ee73cf395a105bb872df09e4e1db94b422b7#comments). Just maybe try to love each other a little more?

Also want to clarify that I am in no way affiliated with Julia Computing. I just build useful user-friendly websites pro bono (apparently?)
