Another #puppet off to their forever home! I think of this one as “that guy at the Linux conference who wouldn’t stop talking to us at the bar.” #puppets #puppetbuilding #smallbusiness

I remain unconvinced that the wave of layoffs in #tech over the past 2 years are due to “overhiring” during the (still ongoing) pandemic. In any office where people are overworked, there is no such thing as “overhiring”.
It’s just another weasel marketing term like “unskilled labour” designed to deflect blame from the naked predatory greed of corpos.

Okay, finally getting around to a pinned #introduction post on this server.
Hi, I'm Kevin, a professional #puppet builder, amateur puppet performer and maker of puppet-based media. I run my own shop, host regular #live streams and host a #podcast. My style is very much inspired by Jim #Henson and The #Muppets, of course!
Here's a (very) small sample of some my favourite pieces I've made over the years. All links in my profile or go to https://www.operationpuppet.com

I dunno who first coined the phrase “the re-wilding of The Internet” to describe the post-enshittification push towards the #Fediverse, blogging, self-hosting etc, but I *love* it.
Digital bohemian, me.
