Other People’s Love Letters
The IndieWeb Carnival May 2026 theme of Love Letters gave me some interesting and happy reading. I started trying to work out what this Webmentions business was all about while writing this but failed. I've a plugin installed named that but couldn't quite unpick what dependencies it might have or whether it's working, before I became trapped in a circular loop of documentation, so we'll see I suppose! It was pleasantly old school clicking through list of themed posts by different […]https://www.leia.cymru/2026/05/26/other-peoples-love-letters/

People from my #coop don't appreciate my hand-crafted no-framwork, handwritten HTML+CSS+js. They say it looks unprofessional. They are 100% non-tech normies.
#webdev what do I do? They want to take an AI shortcut. It's not an option for me.
Is there a way to make something "look professional"? I don't even know what it means. I don't think they know either.

A love letter to cosplay
Apropos of IndieWeb Carnival May 2026 but that really only gave me the title because I'd been meaning to waffle on this for a while. When I did my tally of things I missed from the old internet there was one particular thing which had endured, and that was what we’re now calling cosplay. We called it ‘hall costumes’ back then and I can’t really recall at what point that terminology shift occurred. I do remember being a bit resistant to it – twenty-something me thought it sounded […] -

What I want to say is old internet images like this, usually memes, especially from 2000s, and 2020s AI-generated images, usually fall into the uncanny valley, where things look almost real but slightly off, making the viewer question the authenticity.

If you think this is AI-generated, it's not. This image, as of the time of this post, is over 20 years old. Based on my findings, this image was first posted on 14 April, 2003. This image is photoshopped but not AI-generated. I have seen this picture before back in the early 2010s.

According to many websites, this picture is used as an illustration in a stress study at St. Mary's Hospital. It is said that a study of a group revealed that even though the dolphins are completely identical, a person experiencing stress would notice differences in the two dolphins.

This is one of the first pictures I saw on the internet back in the day, a picture of a dolphin and a cow jumping out of the water. This is a meme and psychological humor. The joke is that if you see anything other than two dolphins, you are overworked and need a vacation.

Why am I writing a blog in 2026?
It took a surprising amount of effort to move off the sofa where I was scrolling the hashtag #indieweb on Mastodon and come back to this site to actually post something. I bought this domain back when the .cymru TLD first became available and then somehow platforms not webpages because everyone's default thirdspace on the internet and I never really used it. I worked in education at the time and read all the drama about how it was all eroding kids' abilty to focus and so forth and having […]https://www.leia.cymru/2026/05/10/why-am-i-writing-a-blog-in-2026/

Has tech made people more connected or more isolated?
I feel it is both. It gave us infinite reach but also fragmented our attention and our sense of presence.What do you think?
