I make silly animations & pictures.

Interested in all thing visual (#Animation #Photography #sillyScribbles) & many things relating to #Politics, #HumanRights & the world around us.

Sometimes meticulously edit photos to create something fantastical, but usually just scribble on stuff.

Everything I post is made by me, unless clearly stated, & no AI (all nonsense here is human generated).

Leans to the left. Full of woke nonsense & happy about it. She/her.

This is my main social media account.

Largely offline this weekend as we do Family Stuff, so a quick mossdog before powering down. Have a good one.

It's Friday! Woohoo! The dancers had a bit of a crisis today, with the first dance they attempted being slightly beyond their capabilities given the time they had to learn it. They will return to it at some point, I am sure, but in the meantime they're clapping some more sparkles into the world.
As ever have a good weekend if you possibly can :HumphStomp:

How the fuck are we letting companies get away with this?
Curio, who make the Gabbo cuddly toy for young children, say "Research into how children interact with AI-powered toys is a top priority for Curio this year and in the future."
No.
High quality research into how children interact with AI-powered toys needed to happen BEFORE you put a product to market you absolute fuckwits.
When 'move fast and break things' includes toddlers. FFS.

I think the tooter is trying to tell me something*, so I will wish you all a restful night, when bedtime reaches you 💤
* it might be to go to bed, it might be to buy myself a dress that can double as a bouncy mattress... I will ponder that one

More moss from the woods today. It was looking very fine in the sunshine.

A few additions in response to some requests.
A wider variety of Friday Dancer No.6 with a first set of different flags, and a couple of SuperTed.

I have been playing with emojis. I'm not great at small scale, but am enjoying learning, so here's the things.uk emoji thread.
:BagpussFace: :bagpussYawn: :Clanger: :Froglet: :miniTotoro: :dustSprite: :fridayDancer6: :Humph: :HumphStomp: :myfanwy: :MyfanwyHead:
If you'd like to make use of any of them please do. You'll need to get your instance admin to include them.
Happy to take requests, although no promises. This is not playing to my strengths!
To be continued...

It's an awful system. If they were looking at reform to improve it I'd be a little more interested, but that's not what I see. I've had a couple of friends who had to go to court to stop their Pip being stopped, both won, because the attempt to stop was outrageously wrong.

Last year I put an offer out to festive up your pet. I wasn't sure if it would come to anything, but it ended up being really lovely. Lots of nice people shared their excellent animals with me, & in return found out what they'd look like in a Santa hat with no risk to the animal's dignity or owner's health & wellbeing (or fingers).
OK, some of the animals might have lost *some* dignity, but only in the virtual world at least.
I mean... look at them 😍
