This post is my contribution to the September 2026 IndieWeb Carnival topic "Parenting", hosted by winther:
https://winther.sysctl.dk/indieweb-carnival-september-2026-parenting/
My parents are good people, and I think about this often. About how lucky I am to have had a childhood free from abuse, trauma, or neglect. To have had an adolescence where I was encouraged, supported, and redirected towards interests and passions that have stayed with me into adulthood. In this life I have been blessed i…

Here’s our stats breakdown for 2026.
According to the signup sheet we had 173 participants this year, although at least one of the Blaugust mentors clocked a handful of folks who did not officially sign up, which means that number is closer to 179.
Out of that first number, 161 bloggers made at least one post during August (that we could find!)
Of the bloggers who signed up 96 people indicated that this was their first time participating in Blaugust!!!
Disclaimer: The Blaugust crew are only huma…

My mother celebrated her 91st birthday last week, and I was thrilled to be able to spend time with her. I spent a week visiting with her and my father, also 91, and their friends. We went out to dinner with a long time family friend, and I sat in on my mother’s Bible study … Continue reading Hanging With the Old People →

Okay, yes, I’ll admit it’s been a very short “week” since my last post (in fact, it was yesterday), but I’ve just about kept on track with Blaugust and my personal target: five posts for the month, ending with this one, which will be an epilogue of sorts. Writing weekly has been quite the challenge for me, as it’s about twice my usual speed, and has really pushed me into balancing my writing here with other responsibilities in life. I’ve only been posting weekly, so I commend everyone who has do…

Yesterday, I posted a couple toots sharing some rather heated exchanges I had with anonymous blogger Unstory, who I previously failed to interview properly.
But don't worry, this was just a mere lover's spat you see, and I—
Hey, wait a minute. What did Unstory write to me in his most recent email?
"There is nothing better than what is it. You can't change anything. It has no meaning. Love is nonsense, it does not exist in a way that people romanticizing it. It's fake story. It's romanticized sto…

Welcome to Genetic Linkage, a series where I share updates and interesting links for the week.
you activated my trap card.
The university semester has started for me this week, so things have been crazy. I'm mostly upset that I had the whole campus to myself all summer and now its overrun with people! Get out of my library!
Actually I've been irritated at everything in general. I'm at a stressful time in my career, things are not good in the US for scientists right now, it's too hot, there is a…

Menopause saved my life.
I'm kind of tired of writing about my suicidal ideation, but even when I have moved past it, it still feels like shelter. Like without being suicidal, I am exposed to the cold and the elements and the wildlife, and it is wanting to extinguish myself that lights the warming fire and fills the belly and shrouds me in safety. I am trying to figure out who I am without that cushion to fall back on--the idea that nothing matters because I'm going to kill myself eventually any…

A few weeks ago, the Ohio State Fair had a poster contest. Grand prize was $1,000. It was won by someone submitting the most banal, directly-copied AI slop imaginable:
I love the 1-2-1 pig races! Happens right under the 9-striped American flag.
You don’t need to take my word for it. The officials came out and posted the following:
When the poster contest was originally formed in 2024, the use of AI was permitted if explained as a part of the application process. However, we recognize that the us…

Following up on yesterday’s pine-grabbing, if you’re unfamiliar with Mike Krukow and Duane Kuiper’s colorful and unique baseball vernacular, Grant Brisbee’s 2023 “ultimate glossary” of the duo’s “greatest sayings” in The Athletic is a fun read. (I’ll admit up front: these lose a lot in written form. You really need to experience them during a game to appreciate them fully.)

High Violet
图1 《High Violet》專輯封面
专辑信息
专辑名称： High Violet
歌手： The National
年份： 2010-05-10
时长： 47:40
要說這張專輯什麼最吸引我，無疑是主唱 Matt Beringer 的嗓音，低沉而温暖，在專輯裡你能聴到他的中音和低音，都很好聴。 Matt Beringer 的個子很高大，有時他戴著眼鏡，看著像是一個教授。
The National 這支樂隊的組成也很有趣，由主唱 Matt Berninger、雙胞胎兄弟 Aaron Dessner（吉他、鋼琴、鍵盤）與 Bryce Dessner（吉他、鋼琴、鍵盤），以及 Scott Devendorf（貝斯）與 Bryan Devendorf（鼓手）兩兄弟組成，也是挺少見的。
High Violet 是我聴的第一張 The National 的専輯，整體聴起來給人一種忧郁且深沉的感覺。封面看著像是插在瓶中的散亂的花，花瓣由許多單詞組成。
専輯裡我喜歡的几首是： Terrible Love 、 Sorrow 、 Little Faith 、…

Burden
For today's word, I want to talk about the main theme, aka the gist, of my world.
Nobody in my world got the whole truth, and nobody gets power for free.
Something happened to our world. The once shared, singular version of reality broke, and it turned our world upside down. In the scramble that followed, people reached for whatever they thought would keep them alive and only through trial and error did they learn what those choices actually cost them.
One of my core mechanics is built en…

There are a handful of albums that I've listened to front-to-back over and over hundreds of times throughout my life. These records are not only a collection of songs, but carry a powerful throughline from start to finish.
Death Cab for Cutie's Transatlanticism, Neutral Milk Hotel's In the Aeroplane Over the Sea, The Mountain Goats' The Sunset Tree, Joni Mitchell's Blue, Frank Ocean's Blonde, and Bright Eyes' I'm Wide Awake, It's Morning. If you've pegged me for a Tumblr-era /mu/core Millennial…
