I’m rather happy with the IndieWeb wiki: it’s at indieweb.org. It’s a great resource and has had great additions and documentation added to it over the years. Folks like gRegor and James and Tantek and many, many, many, others have made and improved terrific living history of independent websites. The topic is so large it...| ArtLung

“The need is absolute.” I’m quoting Peter O’Toole playing T.E. Lawrence in Lawrence of Arabia. Two incredibly interesting and problematic twentieth century people one filling in for the other to tell a story. That line, which O’Toole says in reaction to the question of the need of phones in a recently liberated town taken from...| ArtLung
Trump’s Gleichschaltung: The “Synchronization” of American society with its increasingly omnipresent government The intended conditioning is clear: before you do anything, check with the Dear Leader first because you can never be quite sure whether or not it passes or fails in his omnipotent judgment. And, yeah, that includes your sense of humor. This forced...| ArtLung

I will mourn those who I feel grief over. You can’t demand I mourn. You may request basic respect for the dead. You can’t demand I respect a legacy I find invidious. You can’t demand I ignore the words of the dead. If you can demand my feelings and thoughts be “correct,” you are authoritarian.| ArtLung

At #IndieWeb HWC yesterday we ran VS Code w/”Live Share” plugin. In a few minutes 5 of us wrote a web page. Surveillance tech is an enshittified anti-labour mess but tools—the means of production—to pamphleteer and agitate and samizdat and protest are in our hands. Websites. James wrote about it in Collaborative web weaving| ArtLung
My cousin, who I wrote about recently, has been discharged. This is the best and most significant news for my circle lately. I have been listening to CMAT lately. I first started listening when I came across Jamie Oliver Petrol Station and now EURO-COUNTRY is on heavy rotation for me. It apparently has stopped a...| ArtLung
There’s a line in Clueless from the character Dan Hedaya plays: “You divorce wives, not children” Well, every situation is different and I’ve not been as good a step as Mel Horowitz was. But I am still filled with good feeling and every best wish for those kids. It was great to see Tony last...| ArtLung
On August 16, I attended Connect + Reflect: A CreativeMornings Mixer and I really enjoyed it. It was co-hosted by Head of Community at CreativeMornings, Exa Kutler and FieldTrips Team Member Lauren Deborah. I am usually on the… obstinate side when it comes to writing prompts. The structure was great. Rather than a single giant...| ArtLung

I don’t want to take up much time, but I just wanted to give you a really quick introduction of what the Friends of Shawn Kerri is. If you’r...| ArtLung
“Hey make a mark with me.” This I request of the person across to me at the table. I am doodling in my sketchbook. Big blank pages. I’ve started drawing nothing in particular. It’s not a stranger across from me. Maybe I know them well. Maybe only a little. I’ve done this many times. I have a two dozen or so pens sprawled out next to the notebook.| artlung.com
