A screenshot of the media wall, above it 2 buttons, "shuffle the silly shit" and "pause all videos". There is lots of different images and videos, memes and fanart and clips from movies and shows.

the animal is very soft,, a doggy dog if you will
Two manga panels. The first panel has a cutesy girl saying: “You know, Kuran… It’s a doggy dog world out there…” The second panel has close up of a different girl looking disgusted saying: “Ichiko… this bitch…”

sooo… i completely overhauled the guestbook on my personal site :3

it's no longer webmention only, now it's got a form with a lil spot for you to scribble! ✏️

i can't wait to see what you come up with 💜

ellyloel.com/guestbook/
A screenshot of an entry in the guestbook. It reads: "Brodie. 5 May 2025 at 9:12 pm. Its steve! 👌" with a drawing styled to look like it's on a piece of paper tapped down. The drawing is of a blushing fish with silly long appendages. Their legs have shoes and they are doing an okay hand sign. their name is steve! there is also decorative smiley face and heart doodles around them. A screenshot of the drawing input. It has a number of controls, including pen and eraser tools and size controls for them, as well as undo, redo, and clear. In the drawing area there is a drawing of the tranarchism symbol.

made this slap sticker for people who were able to head to the protests supporting trans youth last weekend

Silence = Death (trans version). The usual pink triangle has been filled with the stripes of the trans flag. The angle of the stripes alludes to the Three Arrows symbol.

hmm, which navigation do you prefer 🅰️ or 🅱️ ?

🅰️ most/all links in the main nav, with some in disclosures
🅱️ very few links in the main nav, with most links living on other pages (sitemap in the footer nav)
A screenshot of the navigation on my personal website, there are 9 top level items: home, search, me, writing, feeds, bookmarks, projects, speaking, and guestbook. Additionally me and writing are disclosures containing more items. A screenshot of the navigation on my personal website, there are 5 top level items: home, garden, about, contact, and search.

AI leads to working more, not less ()

The Luddites knew wtf was up.

Productivity is pointless to us workers because we live in a capitalist system predicated on continual growth.

Ultimately, AI will lead to us working more, not less.

On my way to @webdirections.bsky.social!

The flight may have been delayed by almost 2 hours but that sweet sweet emergency row leg room is the light at the end of the tunnel.
A point of view shot with my hand and suitcase in view, the centrepiece is the high capacity metro train pulling in to the platform. A shot of the plane’s engine and wing before departing, at the gate. A point of view shot of my legs outstretched thanks to that lovely emergency row leg room.
