ngl I do this all the time with books too - normally I take them back to the charity shop I bought them from.

Most libraries also have CDs btw.

how dare all the ideas come in when we're busy and disappear like a fart in the wind when we're not???

I did some doodling yesterday. It will be hard to do it daily. Perhaps with a set short limit of time might turn it into a more achievable task.

I guess my crave isn't so much on the doing/building but actually the participation and community of it.

That was a great read and I am sure it echoes what others are wondering too.

Do you think anything has changed since you posted it?

I enjoyed reading through Ana's presentation last night. It got me thinking about my own journey in owning my online presence. I remembered this morning that I had written about that journey almost two years ago. It was good to revisit it this morning.

Selfish to admit but I always get a little sad when there's cool fun "month" themed challenges and I know I wouldn't be able to actually do them every day 😢

This month I'm going to stick to the book club only indieweb.org/IndieWeb_Boo...

IndieWeb Book Club

IndieWeb Book Club is a monthly book themed blog carnival inspired by the indieweb-carnival started in October 2025.

If you're in London and swim at Kenwood Ladies Pond, please ensure our trans (and intersex and NB) sisters can keep enjoying the most body-positive, non-judgemental and frankly utopian spaces in the city.

Letting the body police decide who's 'feminine enough' to swim would wreck it for all of us.

The Gender Critical have already inundated this survey with their disgusting views on banning trans people from using the ponds.

Would be a shame if we inundated with trans positive views on not banning trans people.
