Oh, I've just remembered I made a fluffy advent last year. I can't quite recall why, except I like fluffy things and it was an excuse to dress fluffy things in more fluffy things. Anyway, day 1!
1993: I use BBSes for online interaction. Each BBS is run by some random person. They connect to a federated worldwide network. I keep my notes in .TXT files.
2008-2022: I use social networks like Facebook and Twitter for online interaction. They're huge and popular. I use Evernote for my notes, which is full of features.
2023: I use Mastodon for online interaction. Each instance is run by some random person. They connect to a federated worldwide network. I keep my notes in .TXT files.
Bonus frame from that January 2023 roll of 200T, which I am mainly posting because this little mossy dude *really* looks like he wants to become one of @eclectech's happy little characters!
Yaaaaaay! Thank you to @moragperkins for the excellent photo.
Look at the wee frosty moss, so excited!
You: So, eclectech, have you ever considered combining classic Christmas pop tunes with famous artworks of enormous cultural importance?
Me: Why yes, yes I have. Thank you for asking.

@pennypenguin @PublicChaffinch @babe christ, we're not talking about a family member's drinking problem here, we're talking about a man who was responsible for millions of deaths.
The fact he got to live to 100 and die peacefully in his bed, over being literally torn to pieces by the ppls of Vietnam and Cambodia, means he has gotten off lightly, if a bunch of ppl celebrating his death is all he suffered.
Yay! The Christmas season starts today & I love it.
I don't do religion & I don't do rampant consumerism, but I am here 100% for the sparkle. I live in Scotland, winter is dark, we need the extra sparkle.
And the Santa hats. I am SO here for the Santa hats. Bright red & fluffy, I mean.... come on.
Anyhow, I'm aware that it is not for everyone, so I am going to tag all my festive pics with #xmasScribbles so they're easy to avoid.
Let's go!
hold on, let me find my shocked face first
