As a small #ContentCreator (awful term) I’ve struggled for years to grow my audience without compromising my principles. Result: I’ve stayed small. But I’m not stopping. I’m putting out work I believe in. As long as a few enjoy it, it’s worth it.

Been working on commissions lately so not a lot new for the public, so here’s a few firsts from the archive. My first deluxe Greeblee, live hands monster, Smol and goblin. #puppets #puppetbuilding

I’ve been too poor to afford Nitro for a couple of years so that saved me a click today. #Discord

#Kindness is not weak. It is a wild animal and does not do well in captivity. Let it out in the world to hunt its natural prey: evil.

Yes you may quote me.

my brother millions of metalheads around the world have been happily listening to incomprehensible Finnish shrieks and Japanese death grunts since we were teens, you’re just boring and racist

New #Warframe video! A very bad #Banshee build you definitely shouldn't try. #tennocreate #videogames #youtube youtu.be/qMfiqX_DTo8?...

Weird #gaming dilemma. I want to be more social with my gaming. I’m in a very large & active #Warframe alliance but everyone is a lot younger than me and other than WF we don’t have a lot in common so I’d feel… awkward hanging out in voice chat. I need to find or found an Old Fogey Warframe group 🤔

Any of my fellow #streamer peeps get this thing where you’ve been all extrovert on camera and then in the subsequent hours revert to a Gollum-like state, recoiling from daylight and sentient beings?

Just me then?

Hey US Democrats: even us here in Canada can feel your uselessness making sure that the Trump Brownshirts wipe their feet when they home invade someone. #fuckICE

Another reason being a #puppet builder is great: I just thought “maybe I’ll make a purple monkey” and can totally just do that.

Just got MR30 in #Warframe (which is a big milestone for the uninitiated). It's been a hell of a journey. Forever grateful at this time in my life to have found this wonderful game & community. 🙏

Man, if the new #Muppet special really is good it’s going to make Whitmire look like even *more* of an asshole.

Some days in the #puppet building shop I knock it out of the park. And then there are days like today.

Even experienced “pros” have off days, kids. Remember that as you’re learning *any* new skill and be patient with yourself. There’s no finish line.

Winter just kills my exercise routine. Can't go for touch grass walks so either need to do treadmill or ex. bike, and those are so gruelling that I *need* long form video to distract. And when I don't have that... bleh.

My fitness has come to depend on other people's content, which is just weird.

Hilarious when the Instagram algorithm just forgets everything and reverts to showing me the most milquetoast generic white person slop like Seinfeld and The Office memes. Great job, Meta, you’re really encouraging me to not look at your crap.
