/* Fix: was a bare h1,h2,h3 selector, which matches every heading on the
   page, not just ones inside this template. Since this stylesheet only
   loads on single blog posts, that leaked onto the site-wide footer's
   own headings (which are meant to stay white) and turned them dark only
   on blog post pages. Scoping to .about-hero/.post-shell keeps the exact
   same styling for the blog template while leaving the footer alone. */
