I make silly animations & pictures. Lots of taking photos then scribbling on them. Leans to the left. Full of woke nonsense & happy about it. Mainly on things.uk Mastodon for socials. Don't trust the broligarchy. Scotland. She/her. https://eclectech.uk

It's been a while since I've made anything even remotely positive about politics and, not gonna lie, reckon I might have missed my calling with this election sloganeering business. Or just found it. Whatever. #Binface

Vertical drawn image of colourful handwriting reading "BIN FOR THE WIN" one word per line. Each letter is lined in black and scruffily coloured in using orange, yellows and pinks. The letters are in a black bordered box with a darker slightly textured backdrop of green, red, purple and blue.

*waves hello* In exasperation at the Real World I have been making my own imaginary one, but a certain level of negativity appears to have followed me there.

Probably a niche audience for this one, but I reckon the fact that this has really tickled me since it popped into my head should be sufficient proof of age for the Online Safety Act. But no. Bah.

An edited version of the 1980s Maxell casset ad with the 'blown away man'. In the ad a man sits low in an arm chair facing a speaker, with hair & necktie being blown back by the sound. The lampshade and glass next to him are also being blown back. I have made some rudimentary changes so the figure can be read more easily as a woman (much longer hair being blown back, some changes to clothing) and replaced the speaker with a large rotating cooling fan. The slogan has changed from "maxell - it's worth it" to "menopause - is it hot in here?

Just a heads up that I'm not going to be trusting a random third party with my ID info so no direct messages or adult content here for me from now on. Such is life. Article on the topic, with some details about the folk doing the verification, for anyone interested. www.thegist.ie/the-gist-age...

The Gist: Age Verification is an Epic fail

From the 21st July 2025, Ireland’s regulator will be enforcing age checks at the door for social media sites in the EU. This is the Gist.

Thought I'd better pop in and say hello before BlueSky designates me a child and locks people away from me 😆 Hope you're all well. I've been traveling around and investigating the hidden secrets of our wildlife. Oh aye.

Close up photo of a yellow and black striped cinnabar moth caterpillar on a red stony path. I have turned the last few yellow stripes on the right hand side grey, and added a simple figure sitting with a pot of yellow paint and a paint brush, as if they are responsible for the yellow. Which they are, as obviously this is documentary footage. Yup, definitely.

Hello! 👋Hope everyone is as well as can be. I am definitely not ignoring everything in order to maintain my spirits. Just, maybe, 99% of things.

- Hey, you know how salmon jump up waterfalls on their way to spawn? I managed to catch one on video. - Nice. I hope you've treated it with appropriate respect? - - I said... - I heard what you said. (I might have just remembered that I can post wee anims here now, so have some old silliness)

*waves hello* Limiting social media at the moment because dear-fucking-lord what a mess. I need to look into how to manage my feed here a bit, as every time I visit it's full of doom news. Insightful doom, but still... Anyhow, hope you're all doing OK. Have a thing. #sillyScribbles #cloudCreatures

A photo of a big fluffy white cloud against a bright blue sky with a tall green tree on the right hand side. I have drawn eyes, arms and a bottom row of teeth onto the cloud. They look quite approachable. Also big, they look very big.

This has been stuck in my head since reading all the rubbish about how US businesses are pre-caving in to their new orange overlord and running away, like the pathetic creatures they are, from any semblance of decency. Needed to shake it out on to the screen to move on to something nicer.

Two panel pop art style Lichtensteinesque comic strip (not particularly accomplished, this sort of thing is not a strong area for me). Left hand side is a close up a dotty face, a white man with brown hair looking slightly perturbed. There is a thought bubble leading to the man, reading "But what if people different to me are happy and successful too?!". The right hand panel shows an explosion in the bottom left, a huge bright yellow spiky DEI in the centre, and a man running away in the top right hand corner.
