Small Robots @smolrobots.bsky.social · Oct 4

Would you like to order a little picture of a robot? I'm offering commissions of existing robots in a new style that can use as icons for stuff or whatever you like! Prices start at £20 per picture. Contact me on here if you're interested.

Teabot - a robot in the form of a mug of tea with little tracks on either side - rolling up next to a stack of books with covers in different colours. The books are The Sign of the Four, Guards! Guards!, Feet of Clay, and A Study in Scarlet. The scene is against a background of a turquoise circle.

Snakebot - a robot in the form of a snake, with a long, banded body and a little sphere on its tail - coiled up around itself, sticking out its forked tongue and looking kind of angry, against a background of a grey square.

Crabbot - a robot in the form of a little crab with banded arms and legs and mitten-like claws - rearing up and holding its arms in the air angrily. The background is a grey circle.

Bigbot, viewed from below, stomping along. The background is a pinkish rectangle and Bigbot seems to be smashing its way out, as one side of it is fragmented into pieces where it's been kicked.

557) Trollbot. Not the kind you find on social media (except this one time now). Instead, guards your valuable bridges from trespassing Goatbots. #SmallRobotsRemonstered #Halloween

An arched, drystone bridge spanning a river, with a large round robot peering out from beneath the near end, one hand gripping the bridge's underside, the other raised into a fist (possibly being shaken). It's grimacing and showing off pointed teeth and has two little horns, banded like its arms, looking up at a Goatbot, which is returning the star from behind the wall of the bridge, frowning.

"I can't find a job."
"Have you looked behind the sofa?"
"There isn't a job there."
"Hm. What about in the bottom drawer of the cabinet there?"
"No. No job there."
"You're sure? Okay, maybe try the loft?"
"I don't think there are any jobs here at all."
"The shed?"

Yes, the problem is that people don't know how to find the jobs. The jobs are hidden. We will give them some tips on searching for the jobs, such as places they could be hidden, and what to do if you catch one.

These things come across like the various "awareness" campaigns that do nothing to address the problems, just point out they exist. "Have you heard of jobs? Did you know jobs were a thing? It's where you go to a place for a bit every day and do something you don't really want to, but you get money."

My one weird trick for paying less tax, btw, is to not earn enough to have to.

Yeah, a close relative of mine was an accountant with a... let's say, 'knack for creative arithmetic' (to the extent of spending a year inside for getting *too* creative) and they were offering to look at my records to see if there was any advantages I was missing out on. No thanks!

Funny how morality and neurotype work in non-intuitive ways. Had a phone call with my brother the other day, and he was urging me to do various things to make myself more "tax efficient" and I was repulsed.

Unusual amount of pig-based content from me today.

Small Robots @smolrobots.bsky.social · 1d

(This was most common in China and the Indian subcontinent, where there were actual latrines built to empty into pigsties, but everywhere there were pigs they were used to dispose of food waste at the very least.)

Small Robots @smolrobots.bsky.social · 1d

It's said that pigs are the only domestic animals raised solely for their meat, but actually they did serve a useful function as waste disposal before the widespread adoption of indoor plumbing. They'll eat you because they'll eat *anything*.

Faine Greenwood @faineg.bsky.social · 2d

i have met a number of pigs, including pigs i later went on to eat (we have small farmers in our family) and quite frankly, getting to know pigs has made me feel even less bad about eating them

they would 100% eat us if given the chance

1591) Lesbianbot. Is just a tiny lesbian!

A small, spherical robot with banded arms and legs and an antenna. The bobble of the antenna has a little female symbol on it, and the robot is lifting up its arms, smiling joyfully with its eyes closed.
