Operation: Puppet 🇨🇦🏳️‍🌈

Okay #fediverse hit me: I want to juice my personal site/blog and get it away from Wordpress. What are your favourite fedi-connected frameworks/platforms? Self hosting preferred. #blog #indieweb

Oof. Got a bit of winter weight to shed. My vintage 1938 blazer was always a little snug, and now it’s just this side of *too* snug.

Health is a vital factor of course but now we’re talking about fashion. This will not stand. Time to take action 💪

Hey kids, doing some maintainance on https://puppet.zone so it'll be down for a bit. Fear not, it shall return! #peertube

Another Friday the 13th, another #podcast. We chat the usual #gaming and #tech with a detour into #puppet stuff (hello Purple Monkey), including a very happy 13th anniversary to #Warframe which we somehow manage to fit into both the gaming and puppet sections.

3 martini #podcast recorded. Go to bed, Kevin. Kevin? Kevin, you're not listening.

At this exact moment there are multiple people I know & like streaming on #Owncast and that’s, like, really freakin’ awesome, yo. #Fediverse thrives.

Getting close! Purple monkey will be finished on tomorrow’s build stream! #puppets #puppetbuilding

#puppet builder problems: these monsoon-like rains hammering the window will make it hard to open it for the ventilation I need while doing the gluing I have on the schedule 🫤

Flash of memory to early #Usenet groups where you’d get flamed for posting anything that even smelled like an ad.

That’s the Internet they stole from you, children.

Remember last month when I said I should make a purple monkey? #puppets #puppetbuilder

Tepid take: no you don’t have to separate the art from the artist. There are thousands of talented artists in the world. Your life won’t be lesser without Harry fucking Potter. Find something else.

Why do I never notice the spelling error until after I post the image? Sigh.

PSA: I'm part of a couple of servers that will remain so I'm not leaving the platform, but I am debating shutting down the O:P #Discord server itself. It's pretty quiet and I have alternatives for the things I need. More TBD.
