A space for mostly short form stuff and responses to things I see elsewhere.
More relevant than ever ... and yet, still very little progress.

Nice to see someone else trying to revive blog carnivals in an IndieWeb context. Sara Jakša's first taster appeals on two levels; it is a blog carnival and it is about food. Count me in.
I just received an email that included this message in the signature:
“Sent from my iPhone, forgive predictive autocorrection errors😀”
So, what, you're just giving up any semblance of care?
The swifts are back.

Ghosted on Apple TV+ is a very entertaining romp.
Matt Webb refuses to normalise milk from cows, and has some fun observations about how to specify the "milk" in his flat whites and regional variations in London. I don't take any "milk" in most of the coffee I drink, so not an issue for me.
I am glad people are taking this idea positively. But I was not aware, that I am reviving anything. I did not know carnivals even existed before April this year. I hope I will be able to continue in the old spirit, even though I did not participate in them before this year. Did took a short dive in your archives on this topic and it was illuminating.
The ones that did make me aware of this ideas were the A Carnival of Aros ( https://carnivalofaros.wordpress.com/ ) and A Carnival of Aces ( https://asexualagenda.wordpress.com/a-carnival-of-aces-masterpost/ ), both on the LGBT topics. Adding this information here, since you were asking before, if anybody knows any still working ones.
