September 2025
The theme for this month’s carnival is TOWN CONNECTIONS.
Ultimately, most importantly, this means whatever you want it to mean. In fact, you should probably stop reading right now, and just contemplate the phrase and make up your own mind.
But if you’re curious what I might mean when I think of TOWN CONNECTIONS, well it means a couple of things.
Before even signing into town for the very first time, we each of us felt some kind of a CONNECTION to the kind of community we’re building here. Why else would you have applied in the first place? Something was going on here that you wanted to experience, to be a part of.
All us townies CONNECT to TOWN over ssh in order to do friendship and to check our correspondence and to work and collaborate on projects.
I have made a lot of CONNECTIONS with insanely talented and interesting and friendly townies, many of whom I count amongst my best friends.
I have been challenged by these CONNECTIONS to explore new technologies and try new habits and explore new ways of thinking.
So what does TOWN CONNECTIONS mean to you?
Write it out and town mail me, or post in the bbj thread, or ping me on irc in #tildetown, or even post it on mastodon and mention me at dozens@tiny.tilde.website
