FOLLOWERS

Thank you for linking.
So you know what I'm thinking.
It's coffee I'm drinking.
From hard work, I'm shrinking.

Tomorrow's a dream.
So for today, I'll scheme.
Filling out a paperless ream,
With no solid, fixed theme.

It's about using words, of course, but, while an occasional favorite or boost happens, there's little engagement.

A two-part Challenge Proposal:

A) Post a toot using the word in any way, sentence, story, analysis, rhyme...

B) Doodlers and Artists, use the word as the subject of a #SketchChallenge

Get in on the fun of words and visual imagination.

Start today?

Remember to use the #WordOfTheDay hashtag, of course.

Thanks to anyone who decides to follow this account.

I have a habit of responding to all who do so, but this is a second account, and I may mess up when trying to determine who is a new follower and who is "also" following after connecting by way of my mastodon.cloud account.

It is not my intent to litter myself all over the fediverse. I will see how things go. I've made connections with several others on mastodon.art and think I'll feel at home here while NOT restricting my toots to artistic attempts. It looks like the instance won't generally mind.

Words have art in them, too.

Good luck to all of us.

Strength to the fediverse through the efforts of individuals.

Thank you for connecting.

There's something vaguely familiar about the style of your posts, but your account seems fairly new. Have we connected before?

Good luck with the "new" watch.
Better luck with the car!

Have fun.
Be creative.
Be safe.

Buongiorno!

Thank you for connecting.

#3DPrinting is one of my enjoyable pastimes. I'll be interested in your posts on the topic.

Be patient. My posts range somewhat widely. 3D comes along when it does.

Have you chosen a 3D design tool yet? With your programming background, OpenSCAD may work well for you.

Have fun.
Be creative.
Be safe.

Tweaks!

Do projects really ever have a "final" version?

Does Winter Tux need Earmuffs?

Thank you for connecting.

My table settings may not be done with Spode fine china, but I'll always try to have a clean plate holding your place at the table.

Have fun.

*History*

Watching television with no sound,
Closed captions, though, are on.
Thoughts of pre-"talkies" abound.
Though, mostly, they're long gone.

And before either of those
There were writings
In rhyme or in prose and
Some picture book sightings.

Before the written word
Was available here,
All History had to be heard.
From those with memory clear.

Future folk, if still around,
May know it in yet a new way.
Science tricks abound,
Just how, right now, I cannot say.

inspiration

Pronunciation /ɪnspɪˈreɪʃ(ə)n/

(excerpted from a much more detailed definition - https://www.lexico.com/definition/inspiration )
noun
mass noun The process of being mentally stimulated to do or feel something, especially to do something creative.

Origin
Middle English (in the sense ‘divine guidance’): via Old French from late Latin inspiratio(n-), from the verb inspirare (see inspire).

Inspiration: Once the stage has been set, the work must begin.

We stand on the shoulders of others for inspiration and encouragement.

Special thanks to @ericbuijs for his design and the permission to rework the "Winter Tux" design using my preferred tool #OpenSCAD for #3DPrinting

Strong shoulders!

When they call "it" Colliefornia.

How do you know when a state has gone to the dogs?

When they call is Colliefornia.
