PSA: if you’re trying to buy something on my shop it looks like large parts of #CanadaPost is down for maintenance until July 2 which means I cannot get shipping labels. Some advanced warning would have been nice before I sent links to two clients. Grr. 😖

Just woke up and had to write this down so I don’t forget it. I literally just said this in a dream:

“You don’t make #AI ‘art’, you just force a chat bot to vomit up someone else’s pixels.”

I wish I was this witty when I’m awake.

#Pride charity build done! This one will get listed on the direct shop tomorrow and the proceeds from the sale will be donated to #RainbowRailroad. #puppets #puppetbuilding

There were even #NoKings protests here in Canada. I’m very proud of my American friends today. The good people came out in force to push back. This is just the beginning of the fight but the momentum is ours.

Here's the VoD of today's #puppet build stream. All our #owncast streams get archived on #peertube! https://puppet.zone/w/mUGKbGExux2LqqfpV7Bair

In #puppet building we wear respirators to protect from toxic fumes caused by industrial adhesives. They are commonly available at hardware stores and apparently protect against tear gas which I mention as an interesting fact that you may or may not have use of.

Another #puppet building tutorial! This time: stuffing a foam tube into a fleece skin! Big Puppet doesn't want YOU to know this ONE SIMPLE TRICK! Please share! #maker #tutorial #peertube

@morph @grickle Inevitable, really.

The new #Pope was born in Chicago, has roots in New Orleans, and believes in climate change? Next you’ll be telling me he’s trans and loves puppets or something.

I’ve been lucky enough to ship #puppets all over the world. This pink ogre was off to Osaka this week! 🇯🇵 #puppetbuilding #smallbusiness

Of course MAGA hats hate #SesameStreet. It promotes three things they can’t do: empathy, diversity and spelling.

It never fails. I take a for-real day off and am hit with a spot of gloomy mood that prevents me from doing anything fun. It’s almost like a repeating pattern that could be easily psychoanalyzed or something 🤔

No #puppet build #stream tomorrow as I'm on semi-vacation but there *will* be a new Oracle episode by Friday (or sooner)!

Moving all my video production to @kdenlive and want to thank @vkc for this, which solves my one stumbling block with the Flatpak. #linux #foss

As an aging #genX person let me be clear: if you’re my age and don’t support #trans rights, you’ve missed the fucking point. We’re the generation that created #cyberpunk as a genre. There is *nothing* more cyberpunk than self selecting your gender identity. 🏳️⚧️

Happy #WorldPuppetryDay! Three new #puppets now available on the direct shop at https://www.operationpuppet.com! #puppetbuilding #maker #independentartist

@roadriverrail Definitely don't need another feature about me but perhaps a note somewhere that my Owncast server is back under a new domain and looking to connect with old followers? https://owncast.pixelsandpuppets.com

New#puppets just listed on https://www.operationpuppet.com/. Two Greeblees and two Sonks! Take *that* SEO keyword nonsense! #puppetbuilding #smallbusiness #independentartist

I really appreciate what #pixelfed is doing for growing the #fediverse but the lead dev starting some petty beef with #mastodon and publicly proclaiming himself to be a “genius” for obfuscating server selection in signup is straight up toxic crap we do not need.

We Linux nerds really need social skills and media training.

This critter is off to Abu Dhabi! My first #puppet to the UAE! I’m now a power player in the International Puppet Trade if there were such a thing!
