Met this tree yesterday. I liked it. It was yellow, and spiky, and surprisingly smiley.

I stuggle every October with this...

He argued with his brother for days for the biggest pumpkin just to produce this.

Every #Halloween my deceased grandmother and I meet up for a game of Scrabble. She requires the additional aid of a Ouija board, naturally.

This path leads to an ancient burial ground, so I thought I would spook-it-up for Halloween.

Hot take: Do whatever you want to old shit if it means you'll use it. Unless it has archeological value (It's the only/last of its kind, undocumented hardware, etc) then I'd much rather see a "vintage" computer with yellowed plastic and a big hole drilled in the side for a battery pack running someone's automated garden watering system or home automation than a pristine system powered off in a private collection. Don't get too precious about these mass manufactured tools.

Protip: Having trouble waking up on time? Simply switch off all alarm clocks and phone reminders! Fuck time!

Morning! Been having a few days mainly offline while catching up with friends, but feel a need to keep my #photOctober2023 run going. The theme for day 30 is flame.

This is from the late 1990s, shot on a cheap old film camera at Fringe Sunday in Edinburgh. I clearly remember the performer making a joke about how difficult it would be to catch the finale flame on camera.

I only took one shot but I got it. I was SO pleased when I got the film processed.

I'm okay with the idea that the fediverse isn't going to be the best fit for everybody. But people keep championing Bluesky as being "like Twitter was at an earlier stage of its life," and I feel like responding "say that again, but slowly." Having been through Twitter's lifecycle once, I find it impossible to feel good about going through it again.

I am proud to report that, after six months of patience and diligence on my part, the clock on my motorbike tells the right time again.
