As your host for this monthĀ¹, I invite you to (re)watch the film āTomorrowlandā (https://movies.disney.com/tomorrowland), with an optional prequel book reading assignment!
āBefore Tomorrowlandā (https://books.disney.com/book/before-tomorrowland/) was released about a month before the film, so itās fine to read before watching.
#Tomorrowland is available in various physical media formats, and via streaming on DisneyPlusĀ². 130 minutes, rated PG.
This month is the 10th anniversary of Tomorrowlandās release.
The world was quite different in 2015.
I had my own impressions of Tomorrowland when I first heard about it and then watched it much later (which I wonāt link to yet to avoid spoilers or biasing your opinions). The film made such a strong impression on me that I held a group film viewing and discussion party in 2015!
Iām curious how both first time viewers in 2025 and folks watching a second (or more) time think of Tomorrowland.
If you would like to participate in this monthās IndieWeb Movie Club:
* optional: read the prequel book
* watch the film
* blog a readĀ³ (for the book), watchā“, reviewāµ, or even a simple noteā¶ post of your impressions, or some or all the above and link to this post
If you want your post(s) to be included in the May 2025 IndieWeb Movie Club roundup, notify me with a Webmentionā· from your post, or drop a link in the IndieWeb chat discussion channelāø and @-mention me.
Since this is an IndieWeb community activity, please both follow the Code of Conductā¹, and also keep your post within the same rating (PG) as the movie. I may curate the roundup accordingly.
Happy reading, watching, and dreaming!

I just discovered a blog post: Enhancing Social Interactions: Implementing Webmentions with Next.js and PostgreSQL
https://mxd.codes/articles/enhancing-social-interactions-implementing-webmentions-with-next-js#share
Strong urge to start over from scratch with my IW site.
I didn't know about the #indieweb when I halfway built it, got inspired to finish by IW and tried to adapt but it's really a standard blog with some hastily activated plugins.
Now that I've seen many others, I would do so much different.
New Blog Post: Core Values
At my workplace we talk a lot about the Core Values they look for in employees. While their Core Values are nice and all, I have my own set of Core Values. Today I decided to write these down.
#IndieWeb #SmallWeb #PersonalSites #blogging #philosophy
https://vzqk50.com/blog/core-values/
Decided it would be fun to collect a list of folks who have gone down the rabbit hole of making their own website builders (static site generator, or whatever)
If you do, or know of someone who does, hit me up.

Reboot, Renewal (an #IndieWeb Carnival blog post)
https://artlung.com/blog/2025/04/30/reboot-renewal/
Some people have asked about my @omgdotlol account. They want to know what it is. Or simply why it is?
Iām not really sure how to respond Itās just fun and interesting. It feels like the small web. The āweb 1.0ā (which wasnāt even called that at the time) but with modern tools.
And @adam is good people. He cares about his products and the people using them.
Check it out. Maybe join us.

Here is my entry for IndieWeb Carnival for the Month of April 2025: https://inkbalance.blogspot.com/2025/04/renewal-indieweb-carnival.html
This time the theme was Renewal, and I loved writing on the topic.
Hello #Indieweb I came across the POSSE framework by IndieWeb recently, its how I found out about the group.
I want to avoid stagnating with my #writing, so I tried a topic that didn't feel so intense
...but the moment I touch anything, the bottom drops out & the depth of it opens
...my brain can't help but see a complex web of connections between the most mundane & the most profound
...while it's beautiful to be a complex thinker, it makes everything take time & weight
...and sometimes, I just want to say stuff
