Hennepin County Library card featuring Prince

Forgot to show everyone my new library card.

My hand holding a zine with the words The Trail of Political Consciousness and the Rebel Alliance crest

I made a zine the other day so that I could have a physical copy of Nemik's Manifesto from the Star Wars TV show: Andor.

You can read it, print a copy, and share with others if you'd like.

I think I have all the pieces set up and Umbrella is ready to go. It is a simple 11ty starter site that has IndieAuth, Micropub, and Webmentions built in using Netlify functions.

I've been using all of these pieces on my site for a bit but I wanted to put them all together in one place just in case it could help others start their own site.

If this works then I have successfully moved to barnacle for IndieAuth.

Four hand drawn icons. Clockwise from top left: sparkles icon over pink background, lilypad drawing over blue background, marshmallow on a stick over purple background, and umbrella over light blue background

Now that the code is done I've been having fun sketching out some icons and naming my projects. I have no idea how to draw a "barnacle" though.

I added a silly easter egg to my site and today is the first time it could trigger since I added it.

Anyways, here's wonderwall...
