That looks like something from 20,000 Leagues.

Wondering about how JAWS would have been presented, if it was a large knitted chicken instead of a deadly shark.

@eclectech

Well if you really want to do spooky or at least mock spooky, how about just Myfanwy's crest in the middle of the straw and her friend to one side - Beaks 2.

Spookier would be grain on the left hand side, her friend in the middle and her crest and beak just visible on the right - aimed toward the grain - Beaks 3D.

I always see the opening off Airplane when I think of Jaws.

I called "Where's Myfanwy in the garden of earthly delights" a series, but had only made two, which isn't enough to be called a series. So, yeah... here's number 3.

So it's come to this.

Number 2 in a sub-series (Where's Myfanwy in the garden of earthly delights), of a sub-series (Myfanwy in famous artworks), of a series (The Adventures of a Myfanwy & Friend).

leaked secret documents confirm that Mastodon refuses to add emoji reacts because "everybody would react with woozy emojis to us".

So chuckya is an illusion then?
Anyway, reacting to Masto with sarcastic emojis is a basic Fedi right isn't it?

But the most dangerous has to be your politicians - I often wish Westmister would just get it over with and knock 7 bells out of each other; it stops yours doing anything more dangerous.

It's Windoze 11, so a fairly strict order / timetable otherwise it crashes spectacularly.

Mind you, a routine for all the things I can't automate helps to avoid forgetting anything.

You know how sometimes you start something, and you know very rapidly that you shouldn't have done it, but it's too late to stop?

Yeah, that.

In related news... FROG! 🐸

A video loop of a brown, mottled, frog walking across grey stones. It is purposefully following an animated moth, and on its back a simple drawn figure lies, arms holding on tightly and looking a little regretful, being bumped by the movement which, lets be honest, is not designed for a comfortable ride.

Grief is very sneaky.

A sound.
A scent.
A song.

A smile becomes tears.

@dgar

Grief is a two faced bastard to be controlled.

My dog when she was a wonky puppy playing silly games with wonder in her eyes, not an old lady dying in my arms.

My dad telling his ridiculous jokes in any number of accents, not when he was dying due to medical malpractice.

I went out to scream at the humans for abandoning me. I first screamed at them in the street, but insisted on coming back in through the back to annoy them.

They seemed to have learned their lesson of not shutting you out all night - you are doing very well in training them Colin.

Howdy! New to this whole Mastodon thing (I'm not even sure what instance I should be on) but eager. Name's Bug — I'm a queer master's student in an entomology lab, passionate about scientific outreach.

When I’m not staring at insects, I spend my time creating zines, comics, other art, and playing D&D. I want to learn how to make video games. Let’s connect if you think little critters are cool!

Hi and welcome.

You are on ActivityPub/Mastodon, on the default server for Mastodon, part of a wider Federation of different software called The Fediverse.
For example, I am on a Sharkey instance.

I would suggest you give Feditips a look for how things work.
Fedi.Tips
@FediTips
"Posting hints and tips about Mastodon and the Fediverse"

For fun and seriously, you may want to follow
myrmepropagandist - @futurebird
"pro-ant propaganda..." (one of your boosts BTW)

A place to look for new instances by software type is
https://sharkey.fediverse.observer/list
you can choose which software at the top.

As well as using hashtags, there are two main Group Servers in the Fediverse - https://a.gup.pe/ and the newer
https://about.fedigroups.social/ - another way to follow interests and get your own posts boosted more widely.

There's no right or wrong way do do Fedi, just be nice to everyone, ignore the Home Owners Associations & don't feed the trolls.
It's meant to be fun after all.

AnguaDelphine,
@AnguaDelphine@mk.absturztau.be avatar

@bugthebard

Cool. You're welcome, glad it helped.
There are numerous traditions like # Follow Friday (all one word but I didn't want to tag it) which is really useful for finding new people.

The closest the Fediverse comes to an algorithym is @LisaMelton

I had a similar experience 2 years ago.
6 weeks of Mastodon and I didn't like it. Too Twitterlike.
I heard of akkoma, misskey, pixelfed, friendica ... and went looking.

We are REALLY weird outside Mastodon, but friendly.

The best of Fediverse is when we help each other.
There really shouldn't be any such thing as a silly question.

I got so much help starting out and try to pay forward.

AnguaDelphine,
@AnguaDelphine@mk.absturztau.be avatar

@lisamelton

No problem. When I hear a newbie ask for help I automatically think of you and FediTips.
