Welcome to 2025!

15 years ago today I began posting notes on my own #indieweb site first, and only later on #socialMedia: https://tantek.com/2010/001/t1/declaring-independence-building-it

You can too.

I am once again encouraging you start the year with:
1. Getting a personal domain name
2. Posting on your own site first, then syndicating elsewhere (#POSSE)

In 2025 there are even more neighborhoods with other people’s garages¹ to post into. Companies, servers, services, disappear all the time, taking all their posts and permalinks with them to graveyard 404².

This is your annual reminder to embrace #independent ownership of your online self, your creations, and their #longevity:
* Own your domain -> own your online identity
* Own your permalinks -> own your posts

Want help? Just ask: https://chat.indieweb.org/

Once again for this year I am restarting a #100PostsOfIndieWeb (#100Posts) project.

This is post 1.

New Year's Revolutions

Last day of the year and last chance to #donate to worthy causes for 2024!

I post a lot about the #indieweb but I’m not asking you to donate to that.

Starting this series of non-profit #donation posts with asking you to consider donating to the #independentArts.

Choose an #arts organization local to you or one that friends or family are directly involved in.

For example: @theatermitu.org (@theatermitu @instagram.com/theatermitu)

Theater Mitu is an independent theater arts organization, space, and community that supports numerous artists, shows, and incubates and produces new work!

More cat woes

My brother is in town, because hey-o, my life completed another revolution around the sun recently. (Yup, I’m a December baby.) So me and kids and their uncle have all been gallivanting around #Portland today, and the city feels cute and cozy. I must say it’s a very pleasant end to what has been a very unpleasant year in many respects.

I’ll be coming out with my “hopes for 2025” spiel soon, but for now, I’m sincerely grateful to be surrounded by family and appreciating the place where I live.

Too many projects, not enough time or energy
