I wrote a #blog #article about the odd phenomenon that despite being #German, a lot of us #queer and ND people socialise exclusively in English, and what kind of consequences that has on all of us and our subcultures.

I'm advocating for more native content on niche hobbies and minority identity experiences.

Here's the English version:
libre.town/thoughts/entry_13.h

And here's the German version:
libre.town/thoughts/entry_13_d

Feel free to let me know what you think. They're both long though (~3.6k words).

New blog post: White Lotus S3 review.

I spent a bit of time thinking about why I enjoy this show so much. Here is my review and my thoughts. Massive spoilers if you haven't seen the show yet.

Also, I moved my blog to a new domain: sebastian.lauwe.rs. So this post is the official unveiling of the new domain.

My April IndieWeb blog carnival entry on “renewal”!

I often feel compelled to tweak and redesign my website at the expense of other things I value. I talk about reconnecting with what I most enjoy about composing and coding, and avoiding treating my leisure and projects as if I need to impress someone.

My recent procrastination fixation with #Emacs brought me somewhere unexpected - I discovered the work and thoughts of Protesilaos Stavrou (aka Prot).

Given how polarised is the general way of "debating" on the web, his #blog is truly a breath of fresh air.

"Human experience as a whole can be understood as a progression from states of unknown to known, which reveal more unknowns, and so on. To fear the unknown is to mistake the known for the good."

New #Blog post: Doggy Boot Build

We've got a new #car, with ample room in the boot for the #dogs

But, being an MPV, it has fold down seats meaning that there were dog unfriendly gaps in the floor.

We don't need those seats, so I decided to do a small build to convert the boot into a dog transportation area
