About my name

This is in reply to Joel's post about his name. Which is a reply to Alexandra Wolfe's post about names. Yes, I guess you could say this is another Blog Questions Challenge.
#SoSollWeb - Mein Traum-Netz (German)
posted on:
My dear English speaking readers: This blog post is written in German. It is a response to Annette's call for ideas for how we want the web to be.
Ich bin im Fediverse auf HerrTommis Blogpost #SoSollWeb: Wünsche für die Zukunft des Webs gestoßen und darüber dann auf Annettes Aufruf, doch darüber nach zu denken, wie ein gutes Web aussehen sollte. Normalerweise schreibe ich auf Englisch, aber das hält mich nicht davon ab, auch mal was auf Deutsch zu schreiben. Danke für den Impuls, Annette!
How I want to use social media
posted on:
I have always used social media for fun, never for getting news or talking current affairs. I had a "no news, only fun" policy. For many years it worked. I mainly hung out on Instagram and only followed people in certain niches, who, including me, all stuck to posting within those niches. (I am starting to wonder if this is an Insta/ photo sharing specific thing?) So everything I ever saw was stuff in those niches. Kind of. We all know how fucked up the algorithm has become.

Some weeks ago I posted my answers to the Blog Questions Challenge that's been making the rounds. Now it's time for the Music Question Challenge. I can't remember where I read abou it as I didn't bookmark that post. But through a little link hopping I found out that TakenVaullt is the author of this challenge.
Blog Question Challenge 2025

A few weeks ago I saw fLaMEd post about this challenge in the fediverse. His blog about it is here. I wanted to take part as well, so here are my answers:
Why I have my own website
posted on: - updated on:
I am not a web developer. I am not particularly clever or know great things. I don't make art that I'd like to show or even sell. I don't have projects, nor side projects. I don't offer any service. Technically I do not need a website. But I still have one. Why?
Veggie Soup Recipe
posted on:
I am not the worlds biggest cook. I don't even love to cook. But I do it anyway because I love to eat. That's why I really love easy recipes that still make tasty dishes -- and soup is exactly that. It's also a wonderful heart warmer, especially on cold days.
Summer List check: I hand sewed an 18th century style petticoat and pockets
posted on:
This is a post about an item on my summer list.
Recently I fell down a rabbit hole. I do that from time to time. See my list of interests. They have been rabbit holes of various depths at one time or another. This time it was the one of historical costuming and sewing.
Things I want to do during summer
posted on: - last updated on:
The summer holidays are here and I have plans. So yeah, this is a simple to-do list of big and small things. Maybe posting it to my blog will keep me more accountable. We'll see how that goes... Definite WIP.
The "right" kind of scissors
posted on:
This is part of IndieWeb Carnival July 2024 on the topic of Tools.
I'm a lefty. When I was in kindergarten, my teacher there wanted me to use lefty scissors. I refused. Vehemently. Why, I am not sure. I was a weird kid.
