I think this month's IndieWeb Carnival blogging challenge will appeal to a lot of people here.

"Our hobbies, passions, and curiosities rarely exist in neat boxes. They bleed into each other."

> It's 2026 and GENUARY emerges! GENUARY is an artificially generated month of time where we build code that makes beautiful things.

It’s happening during the month of January 2026, and everybody is invited!

Over the 744 hours of January, for every 24 hours there will be one prompt for your code art.

You don’t have to follow the prompt exactly. Or even at all. You can do all of them, or most of them. But, y’know, we put effort into this.

You can use any language, framework or medium. Feel free to use your own brain or a simulacrum of everybody else’s.

Happy New Year from the US East Coast! 🥳

2025 was a hell of a year, but power to us all for getting through it. And may we cherish the memories of those who we've lost.

I know things are, in many ways, looking bleak right now. But seeing the resilience and relentless hope of so many of you gives me hope myself, that a better world is still possible, if we keep actively working towards it. Until then, we still have each other.

Hang in there ✊

January 2026 #WordWeavers — all the questions are in the thread below 😊

Start anytime, answer any questions you want, skip as many as you feel like. Use the #, talk to other writers and have fun!

The only rules: be respectful to others and use CWs (content warnings) when necessary.

Everyone is welcome to participate 🧡

Created by @BranwenOShea and me.

#WordWeaversQs — this # is only to find questions. Don't use it in your answers. Use space (# WordWeaversQs) when sharing to keep it tidy 🙏

I put together a short write-up on my mostly successful attempt at taking part in both the #looptober and #WeirdWebOctober challenges at the same time this year.

Hey #AcademicChatter #MastoSci friends - are we doing the #AcWriMo thing in November this year? (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Academic_Writing_Month)
Perhaps we need a new # ?
