After returning to streaming #games on #Twitch , I slipped back into the fast culture of mainstream socials.

It started as wanting to catch up with the #community I've known for years (over a decade actually), but I'm overwhelmed by the everything-all-at-once pace of mainstream.

How does one sift through the noise and clutter and remain engaged in what is important & aligned?!

Must find a balance between both worlds. Sad I haven't spent much time here and on #indieweb this month, but I suppose that's part of the practice of getting intentional and grounded in the present.

Take Two

"There are three things a man must do before he dies: plant a tree, father a child, and write a book."

When I read the topic for this month's Indie Carnival, this quote immediately came to mind. So, I decided to explore why.

Content warning:links to blog posts about organ donation, mention of death

This was the quickest blog post I've ever written. I read Manuel Moreale's "On corpses, selfishness, and ownership" this morning and wanted to chime in. So I got up, grabbed my laptop and started writing.
I can't say anything about corpse ownership, but I do have opinions about organ donation.
So, here it is: The one where I talk about
Organ donation, with a good portion about the situation in Germany.

Between one trip and the next, I managed to attend the #AlanisMorissette #concert in #GrönaLund. She’s such an idol! And I was lucky enough to get some nice shots of the #sunset over the water on the way back home 🤩 Pics here: https://ggirelli.info/micro/2025-06-15-morissette

June is half over and there is still time to send me your entries for the IndieWeb Carnival.

https://www.nicksimson.com/posts/2025-indieweb-carnival-take-two

I’m especially interested in hearing from those who haven’t participated before. Remember, if you have your own website, you’re a part of the #IndieWeb, and you are welcome to participate!

Brad talks about the concept of a "brain dump" as a more approachable way to share personal experiences and thoughts without the pressures associated with traditional blogging.

🔖 Bookmarked Making Space for a Handmade Web | Figma Blog (https://www.figma.com/blog/making-space-for-a-handmade-web/)

> What if instead, there were millions of websites, each one handmade by a single person?

This article discusses the revival of personal, handcrafted websites as a counter to the commercialisation and uniformity of the modern internet. If only this was shared on a personal website rather than a commercial one?

¿Recordáis cuando los blogs tenían blogrolls?, pues ahora el blog tiene uno, mi lista de paginas web que sigo mediante sus feeds y que son interesantes para mí. https://elblogdelazaro.org/pages/more/ #blog #blogging #indieweb

Commenting on Comments

While scrolling through the #indieweb category of my rss feeds, I came across several blog posts about whether or not adding a comment section to your blog posts or site was a good idea. I figured I would throw in my two cents.

I'm spending wayyyy to much time making my own startpage for my browser.

I also now have two dashboard/landing pages - one on #notion for my to-dos/goals/progress (effectively personal data I want to track and a million checkboxes) and one for links (this startpage, in progress).

I like setting myself up to make good clicking choices, especially when I'm bored and refreshing my browser. I'd rather play geography quizzes or browse an #indieweb links page or my #arena or find a #baking recipe.

A week from now I’ll be releasing my big website update. Lots of changes complete with full implementation and design details. Plenty of fresh content as well.
