I’m hosting the August 2026 IndieWeb Blog Carnival , and so excited to read your take on this month’s topic:

Purpose

Everyone is welcome to participate. To enter, write a post on your blog and email me the link to chris@uncountable.uk before 31 August 2026. Write in any language you choose.

I’ll update submissions below as they come in during the month, and early in September there’ll be a round up post.

Purpose

A single word that evokes many different interpretations.

It can apply to yourself, an organisation, club, community or even humanity itself. Is it fixed for all time, or does it change and adapt to the surrounding environment?

Is it important for others to know the purpose, or can it just be shared among the people with a direct stake or influence on it?

Why even have a purpose defined at all? Would anything be different if it wasn’t?

Do wildlife have a purpose, beyond the biological processes that drive particular behaviours in each moment? Or, is it a uniquely human construct to separate us from other life on earth?

Let’s hear your perspectives on Purpose through this month!
