Given all the social distancing (you're doing that, right?!), anxiety, and whatnot... how about we have a @winetoreach? Let's say tomorrow, Sunday at 4pm Pacific until whenever. I can send out a Hangouts link shortly before. Spread the word.
Hey everyone, out of an abundance of caution regarding COVID-19 (coronavirus), we have decided to switch this March 18th meetup to an online-only meetup.
We will provide a Zoom video conference link 20 minutes before the meetup on the event page and in the IndieWeb chat.

A canvasser for a Democrat running for Congress came by. They asked where I was leaning and I said “leftist.” They responded “ooh boy” and paused. I laughed a bit and asked if that was a good or bad reaction. They said “well, change is hard.” They didn't sound judgmental, but I’m not sure what this means about the candidate or my answer.
I was watching the beginning of Bang Bang Con (!!Con) and they talked about their code of conduct. I liked these three tips they gave to stay in line with their values:
- “Avoid feigning surprise.” When someone says something like “I’ve never heard that you can do x,” instead of replying “You’ve never heard that?!” take a moment to revel in the fact the person is about to learn something new and cool. Let that frame your response.
- Avoid “well, actually...” if someone says something not quite correct.
- Avoid subtle -isms like “so easy my grandmother could do it.” That’s a subtle exclusion of women and older people.
Edit: these are based on the Recurse Center’s social rules.
Hey Brian, hope you can make the next Homebrew Website Club San Diego meetup: https://events.indieweb.org/2020/03/homebrew-website-club-san-diego-bSBT0ZceMIHo
I’m attending on 2020-03-18.
Yo
What a small indieweb. I'm in Austin for IndieWebCamp and another attendee, Brian, is from San Diego and lives in my neighborhood. Another person for the SD meetups!
Edit: fixed name and URL, oops!

Joe Masilotti on twitter.com:@indiewebcamp hi there! I’m
excited to participate this weekend. What qualifies as a “personal website”? I have a personal blog and a website that I’m trying to make into a real business (that I am the only contributor towards). Which, if either, qualify?
Hi, Joe. Both! Trends more towards personal sites but we have some IndieWeb for business examples: https://indieweb.org/IndieWeb_for_business
I'll be there this weekend, too. Look forward to meeting you!

Agree wholeheartedly. I'm looking forward to seeing it again.
Yo dawg, we heard you like cards so we put a card inside your card.
The small card is about 3 inches and was inside its own tiny envelope. Many thanks to Isha for these. <3

Aside (or not?) — screw this white nonsense from the author:

Tom Critchlow on twitter.com:yeah I gotta sketch out this decentralized goodreads idea I have... I think it's interesting. Basically a single-focus (i.e. books) indieweb-style markup format that is tied together with RSS and the smallest lightweight centralized servers (i.e. http://library.fm)
I’m definitely interested in this area! I tinker with https://indiebookclub.biz for posting books on my site.
