If you're feeling lonely or feeling small, take a walk on a twisting path into the woods.
The ancient forest spirits will accept you.

Hello folks! Does anybody remember webrings?

I'm currently working on a subway themed #webring project to help people connect with other hobby web developers! Right now I have three lines:
- Poetry
- Doodle Crew Discord server members
- Local art club members

I'm thinking about adding some more lines! Maybe scifi, original comics, or worldbuilding? Open to suggestions. Let me know if you'd like to join!

You can see the WIP project over at https://gusbus.space/smallweb-subway/

Oh guys, i almost cried with sheer joy.

Most of all, we need to let go of this notion that open web = okay for commercial companies to scrape, ingest, and train their models.

If I wanted to open an English school, I would have opened a school to teach the English language. But I didn't.

I have a website, which is free to read, but my copyrighted material is mine and shouldn't serve as the foundation of any other commercial product.

I wish more people would understand this concept.

Us internet people have a terrible habit of thinking we're in communities when we're actually just in scenes.

They are not the same thing, but the platforms providing them would like you to think they are.

fellow AO3 writers, there's a new bot saying shitty things in people's comments, but now it attaches real AO3 usernames! If you see a username with (Guest) attached, it's not really that person.

On Saturday we went to an early Juneteenth celebration at Montpelier, the home of former US president James Madison. In Madison's time, Montpelier was also home to hundreds of enslaved people, many of them now buried in unmarked graves. Today, the descendants of the enslaved are full partners in running Montpelier as a historic site and museum. A libation ceremony honoring dead ancestors was a part of Saturday's activities.
