It is traditional, when loading wire trolleys, to put the most fragile items at the bottom.

I think I've found my alter ego in the Discworld: Ponder Stibbons (Cogite Stibon in French)
Otherwise, Australia, er.... XXXX, it's really a very weird place

I want to give #Mastodon a proper go this time, but it's hard to connect with people when no-one follows you, and hashtags only get you so far.
So, if you like one of the hashtags below, please consider following me, and if you do, I'll follow you back! Thank you.

I've been reading Terry Pratchett's #Discworld novel "Snuff!" over the past few weeks.
For years, I found Pratchett's villains to be over-the-top and cartoonish. This was fine for humorous novels but it nevertheless felt underwhelming.
Little did I understand that Pratchett was merely depicting the meanness, stupidity, petty cruelty and selfishness of evil people in real life.
You live and learn.
NEW INTRODUCTION! After 3 years, some of my interests pivoted and some are just not on fedi.
I'm a one man company that mostly does 2D computer animation but I also do interactive writing and co-creating the first ever video game completely about larp!

“This cat, on the other hand, was its own animal. All cats give that impression, of course, but instead of the mindless animal self-absorption that passes for secret wisdom in the creatures, Greebo radiated genuine intelligence. He also radiated a smell that would have knocked over a wall and caused sinus trouble in a dead fox.”
