UK based maker of things, mostly for LARP. I love coding, dabble in web design and prying information out of spreadsheets at work. I enjoy Tai chi and it has been a massive help with my M.E./CFS. I love Japanese things

Happy Winter Solstice!
I haven't been around the woods for a while. And while I didn't get out in time for sunrise I did get to enjoy some blue sky this morning and it was lovely. Heard lots of wildlife, saw some. Lots of greenery with some flashes of red berries 😁

There are a whooooole bunch of settings in "advanced" that I did not know about and did not agree to. Most of them are highly subjective and therefore open to abuse.
Really disappointed (and not a little irked) that my "algorithm free" feed is being invisibly curated in this way.

If you aren't seeing skeets from some of your fave people, they might have been labeled "Rude" by bsky mods. Idk what they are thinking, I don't need a mommy to tell me who to be buddies with. Anyway, go into Settings > moderation > bluesky moderation (advanced) and turn Rude off.

As well as the Mini Painting I also have a Youtube channel from when I visit old buildings and things (and occasional folklore). Been a while since I've posted so here is a little "castle" you may never have heard of.

A lovely day out at Crossness with @baladine.bsky.social. A Victorian pumping station that is more like a cathedral than a sewage works. We learned about poo and ice cream.

Lower Decks pals just reminded me I designed the original Moopsy, which I had totally forgotten. The artists love to laugh at me for my crappy drawings. Enjoy.
