me: hey big companies, can I download all of your copyrighted movies and music and images in case one inspires me to make something someday?

big companies: lol no get rekt

It's good to see a happy post these days

Look! It's a big autumnal flowery hug for anyone that wants it 🤗

(extra option of a quiet and polite nod of acknowledgement for those that don't want a flowery hug)

@eclectech Toot!

I have been tied up with work today, and have a few chores to go and do now, but I couldn't let the first year of our things.uk Mastodon instance go by without making a little something for it.

It's our tootiversary!

Lovely to be here, and thank you for making me so welcome 😊

If you are the #mastoadmin of a #Mastodon #instance that is more profitable than "hundreds of millions of loss every year" then congratulations, you have a social media platform that is more successful than Twitter.

The word "excellent" is derived from the Christian practice of giving up the use of Microsoft Excel for 40 days to commemorate Christ's sacrifice.

Aww, woke up to a lot of heilan coo love this morning 😍

Here's a close-up shot showing that shaggy fringe in all its glory.

What a beauty.

Do you boost polls on mastodon?

We made a comic about plumbers.

Just realised it's nearly a year since we set up our things.uk Mastodon server. I'd poked about before that, but hadn't, you know, fully committed.

Making the move properly was definitely a Good Thing. Will need to make something to celebrate. Hmmmm 🤔

I've been following @eclectech for a while now (and if you're not--hey, go do that), and as an amateur photographer I decided it was time to do the thing that Great Artists are said to do... that's right it's THEFT! *insert airhorn here*

I went for a walk in the woods last week and met a lot of these lil guys along the way. Friendly folk, good conversationalists, highly recommend having a chat if you meet some!
