This article originally appeared on The Fulcrum. You may not know it, but if you are reading this, you are a punk. Probably. If you are a frequent reader of our site, you definitely are. 🤘🏽 ‘Ready, Steady, Go’ I am currently enjoying Matthew Worley's remastered for Punk’s 50th anniversary, No Future: Punk, Politics, and...

The premise of this article is that developing or using ActivityPub tools, participating in the Fediverse, publishing to the Indie Web / Open Media Network, and adopting the arsenal of the Techno Anarchist Manifesto are the new punk.

Take back the web. Make it weird again

Bob Sassone’s website is thirty years old. Thirty years. Older than Google. Older than the word blog. Still there, still being tended, still refusing to accept the repeated announcement that blogs are dead. Congratulations, Bob. Thirty years of keeping a patch of the web alive is no small thing. His anniversary post reads like a...

i miss websites that were allowed to be weird

The old web was often ugly, broken, and deeply inconvenient. It also looked like somebody lived there. Keep the competence; bring back the permission.

Five Lessons Indieweb Developers Can Learn from Ken Hawkins

I tried browser-side semantic search on thewhitestonefoundation.org after reading Ken Hawkins, measured it against my actual readers, and replaced it with Pagefind. The idea was still right.

A Few Small Things

Reflecting on the mental fatigue of posting every day during Blaugust, I share a few small things that cheered me up: a new keyword filter on Bubbles.town, Jan Miksovsky's Origami Projector, and the ongoing, hand-made goodness of the independent web.

Creating an Open-source Blogging Studies Syllabus

Announcing a new open-source, asynchronous Blogging Studies syllabus that blends writing craft and independent web publishing, built on Codeberg. I trace the decline of free MOOCs, outline my curriculum's anti-capitalist and community-driven pedagogy, and invite contributors and learners to help shape it.

Reading as participation in the indie web

In the past, I have used the shorthand “if you have a website, you’re in the indie web community.” I have used this because I don’t think there are, or should be, any other qualifying factors (i.e. using particular tools, having a certain site layout). [...]

Bubbles.town: Four Months Later

After four months of using Bubbles.town, I share my long-term review of the IndieWeb aggregator. The good: discovering diverse blogs across niche topics. The issues: glacial pace of content changes, popularity contest dynamics, categorization problems, and sparse community participation. Overall, Bubbles is a valuable tool among many for web discovery, but not without its problems.

On Peter Merholz's coinage of 'blog,' Jorn Barger's 'weblog,' Justin Hall's online diary, the rise of Blogger and Medium, and the state of the blogosphere in 2026.

All you need is a free text editor …

All you need is a free text editor and a hosting bill...the indieweb is punk is the vibe I'm feeling: We Own the Masters Now In the old days, the music industry owned the masters, the distribution, the airwaves. You made the music; they made the money and decided if anyone got to hear it....

IndieWeb Ethos and Pagecord

Responding to Eetu and Pagecord creator Olly's reactions to my article on accessible IndieWeb approaches, I examine the tension between platform convenience and digital sovereignty. Using Olly's recent controversy as a case study, I discuss why being aware of platform creators' values and operations matters, and the importance of eventually learning to self-host for true independence.

Writing By Accident & Surrendering On Purpose

Reflecting on three weeks of consecutive writing for Blaugust, I explore the tension between writing by accident versus on purpose. Through correspondence with Unstory and the IndieWeb carnival theme of purpose, I contemplate the accidental nature of my blogging journey, the finite fragility of life, and finding meaning in the surrender to compulsion rather than the pursuit of purpose.

Outjerked by the Trickster

I've been satirized by circlejerk.blog, and I reflect on the history of online circlejerking, Indigenous trickster traditions like Coyote and Chi-Jean, and the concept of survivance. A call for more humour and satire in online spaces, and how trickster storytelling can build empathy through shared laughter.
