#Philly folks for #FollowFriday:

- @meldar16 - #ttrpg maker, local art fairs, needs funds after concussion (EDIT: also cat pics, of course)
- @deliaturner - cat pics, author, grandma perspective
- @PhilSalkie - cat pics, Manyunk, interesting anecdotes
- @mattia - cat pics, fiber arts, South Philly

I don't know if you notice a trend here, but I think it's clear Philly Mastodon loves taking photos of cats.

@ragman and I hosted #HTMLDay in Philadelphia's Washington Square park today. A couple photos we took have been uploaded to the are.na. We were pleasantly surprised that many people found out about us through neocities! Some also from bluesky or mastodon, and some that showed up because of a friend or sheer happenstance. Folx made pro-comic sans and the color pink stickers, pipe cleaner art, interactive nfc tags for trees and weevils, chatted about journaling, game accessibility, and community gardens. Of course, we also made some html pages: a crowd sourcing of favorite tags from followers, a gallery of visitor selected colors, a collection of fun dithered instruments, and more! Thanks to everyone who came to hang out, it was a very respectful and lovely time with wonderful people.

"Terry LaBan is a #Philadelphia-based #cartoonist who has #published #comicbook series, had internationally #syndicated strips and, at the end of 2024, published “Mendel the Mess-Up,” a #children’s #graphicnovel that tells the story of a boy who works to save his Eastern European village from the Cossacks.

“Mendel the Mess-Up,” distributed by Penguin Random House, is rooted in his grandfather’s experience, but not based on it.

LaBan is critically acclaimed and popular with #readers young and old, but sometimes, inspiration strikes him in the same way it strikes anyone else: simply."

i started throwing some of the stuff from us organizing the Philly HTML Day event together in a @kinopio space. it's a place to gather together artifacts to fine tune it later. In its current state, it's not as good for permanent archival purposes or structure, and I don't expect it to be.

Want to share your HTML creations and HTML Day inspired art with the Philly community? We'd be happy to collect any contributions to showcase back on the site 😊 If you end up making a html page during or after the event, or just think your art would vibe deeply with Philly grit regardless of whether you're from Philly, send it our way. Just keep in mind that we're limited in the file sizes we can work with, so we might also talk about image compression etc. before posting.
