Having your own website is not going to fix democracy, or topple the online pillars of capitalism - but it's making a political statement nonetheless. It says "I want to carve my own space on the web, away from the corporations". I think this is a radical act. It was when I originally said this in 2022, and I mean it even more today.

If you take just one thing away from this article, I want it to be this: please build your own website.

@sophie I’ll get around to doing my website, but there have been so many other “making the world you want to live in” things that I would recommend to anyone.

Buying an audiophile CD player from Oxfam and going shopping for pre-owned CDs. Buying a foldable bike I can take on the tram, so I can cycle for utility more. Expanding the things we cook at home.

It really makes a difference.

@katiefenn yes, the other wolf inside me is mostly all about baking and gardening!

@sophie @katiefenn So, the gardening side we clearly get from the "garden" theme, but I'm wondering what a cool baking theme could look like. Upside-down "1999" (at least from the icon) where everything appears to load in slowly bottom-up, as if rising?
