The IndieWeb Carnival prompt for May is small web communities. I've been exploring some thoughts on how a little effort goes a long way to connecting a community. Sometimes I think of it as working on the plumbing so that ideas can flow more smoothly. It feels a little different from the direct contribution of knowledge or ideas. I also want to connect with...

This week A+ said she wanted to play a farming game, so we went through this list of farming games on Steam and she picked Stardew Valley. I bought it for CAD 17 under her Steam account. She got pretty good at finishing her homework before playtime. After some fiddling around, we managed to figure out how to play 3-person local co-op using our...

W- has been volunteering for Bike Brigade for a number of months now. A+ and I occasionally tag along. It's encouraging to be part of this initiative to deliver groceries and other essentials to people who need help. One of the organizers spoke at this panel discussion about bicycles and social justice organized by York University. Session description Bicycles hold immense potential for addressing...

I started helping Bike Brigade with their e-mail newsletter. I read through their Slack history and a couple of years of newsletters to build up a library of newsletter blocks. I made a collage of the Jane's Walk photos. I didn't get around to editing the photos and posting them on Facebook. Maybe next week. We also did some more deliveries. We biked to...

The weather was often warm and sunny, so we spent more time biking and walking. We brought bubbles, sand toys, and popsicles to the playgrounds. That was nice. A+ has been practising crossing the street by herself. She's quite proud of being able to go ahead of me. She was also proud of making her own choices at the farmers market, carefully counting out...

The IndieWeb writing prompt for April 2025 is renewal. One of the things that I struggled with in the early days of parenting was the repetitive nature of my day. Every two- or three-hour cycle brought the same kinds of tasks: nursing, diapers, snuggles, sleep. Nothing could be crossed off a to-do list, nothing stayed done. Nothing built up towards tangible accomplishment, or at...

Assumed audience: I'm writing this for: me: I want to remember what this is like, celebrate my progress so far, and look ahead maybe other parents who also find themselves still figuring out playfulness Achievement unlocked: I made A+ giggle so much that she started hiccuping She had had a case of the meh​s. After a little bit of empathizing, I flung myself over...

I enjoyed walking in the park this week, and we started gardening too. Good counterbalance to the chaos of whatever the US is doing. I also enjoyed writing more about life. I added sidenotes duplicated as footnotes to my blog, inspired by citationneeded.news. The sidenotes should show up on my blog if you have Javascript enabled and the window is reasonably wide. I like...

Trawling through blogs to add to my feed reader, I came across a number of posts related to the February 2025 IndieWeb Carnival theme of affirmations. It nudged me to think about the words I rub into A+'s brain with repetition. Once a year or so, A+'s virtual school teachers typically play a video about affirmations as part of the social-emotional learning aspect of...
