hello again. you are so close. just missing a :

@media (max-width 1020px){ /* here is where you forgot a semicolon*/
  .main-header
  background-color: tomato;
  text-color: white;
}

it should be

@media (max-width: 1020px){
  .main-header
  background-color: tomato;
  text-color: white;
}

i hope this helps

In this case, adding the semi didn't fix it, I still can't see my error
