Belonging.

Groucho Marx once said, "Outside of a dog, a book is a man's best friend. Inside of a dog, it's too dark to read."

He also said, "I refuse to join a club that would have me as a member."

I followed a bit of a rabbit hole, today. I was reading Kelly Adams' post about the IndieWeb, and I started to think about groups. His question was whether or not he was in fact a part of the IndieWeb.

Every time I try to optimize a website, it either breaks everything, or makes it worse. I’m designing a blog over here, I shouldn’t need an engineering degree or a PhD in computer science. It’s words and pictures. It’s not solving world peace or trying to align satellites. So, my site doesn’t live up to Google’s expectations. Oh well. Tough shit.

Jim Mitchell's IndieWeb Is Punk Manifesto: eight theses reading the personal site as DIY culture. I hope new perspectives like this can help getting new audiences interested in independent web publishing! indiewebispunk.net
i need to get one of those 88x31 buttons to give to people to link my website. gotta get more cross-linking going on on the indieweb (i'm not so into the 'webring' thing though i get why others like it)

Sent my first webmention out from my website today. Granted it was to myself, but it showed up just like any other like from the fediverse or Bluesky.

It is confusing though with all these platforms where you should interact from. If I find a post on here, should I like it on the fediverse but also send a webmention like?¿? I don’t know but I guess I’ll figure it out as I go.

Am I part of the Indieweb? Juhis tells us that there is no membership card for the Indieweb blogging community. I like his thesis as I sort of feel like I'm at least on the periphery of the Indieweb movement.... #blaugust #blaugust2026 #gatekeeping #indieauth #indieweb #webmentions

I miss being the girl who had written 500 words every day without fail for 3.5 years. Anyone want to be accountability buddies?

I put paywalls on some of my blog posts because not everything I am comfortable sharing openly. They are about my lived experiences. I guess some people might take advantage of my posts.
