#Bluesky keeps growing, so let's connect! #introduction post!

Hi I’m Kevin, professional #puppet builder and maker of fun media stuffs. Been doing this professionally since 2019. Here’s a small sample of my work. I also #livestream and #podcast! www.operationpuppet.com
Re: more Legally Distinct Celebrity Amphibians.

There's definitely interest. Think the writing's on the wall. I sure as hell don't want this to become my whole business but if putting out the occasional Frog-A-Like is what it takes to keep the lights on, I'll do it. #puppets #smallbusiness #muppets

Well the frog sold. As per the promise I made on the last podcast, the next #podcast will be hosted by Frankie. Note to self: figure out what throat lozenges go with a martini.

Hey all, selling a #puppet from my private collection. If you've ever wanted a Legally Distinct Celebrity Amphibian made by me, you're in luck. Direct shop only, not part of the current sale. #muppets #kermit

Remember when social media was, like, just people posting about stuff they like with no agendas? Imma do that.

#music on my “Current Rotation” playlist: Nova Twins, Bones UK, Delilah Bon, Scene Queen and Des Rocs.

Saw something that had me thinking: toxic beefy bros like #AI for search cuz it’s a search engine they can pick a fight with 🤔

I've learned: if you try and play the algorithm's game and become a "content" fire-hose, you *have* to fake being happy & cheerful *all the time*.

Every thinking human has bad days. Forcing yourself to put on a smile and "HEY GUYS!" for #YouTube lest your Number Go Down is a sure recipe for misery.

New #podcast time! Some changes for O:P, what #puppet builds I've been working on, the future of the business and of course #gaming, #tech and the usual #warframe catch up.

Sorry to sound so dramatic. All artists are hurting now, including this one. Please share even if you can’t support. #puppets #puppetbuilding #smallbusiness #sale #artist

In selecting #trans people to be their victims, Republicans and other bigots have made a huge tactical error.

Trans people have already survived more battles and faced more trials than those privileged creeps ever will. They think they’re punching down, but their fists will shatter on bedrock.

*Narrator voice*: ass butt sleep continues. Not #puppet build stream worthy today but at least the #podcast records tonight. I have a lot of hand sewing to do today anyway, which doesn’t exactly make for an interesting stream 😁

Had someone in my Alliance Discord say they *hated* Nokko cuz he’s such a clown and silly and I’m like wow. My dude, who hurt you?

I’ll enjoy my happy mushroom boy, thanks. #Warframe

If you use #AI to generate your thumbnail I don’t give a shit who you are or what it’s about, that channel goes on the “Do Not Recommend Ever Again” list. #youtube

My sense of #bluesky user culture: it’s a night club where Normals go because it’s trendy but they don’t enjoy it. A human centipede where the input is smug self-congratulations and the output is anxiety.

Hey kids, slept like ass butt (the worst kind of butt) so no #puppet build stream today. Will move it to tomorrow assuming no further attack of ass butt.

Hell yeah NYC.

In light of last night's news, I want to emphasize these two things.

We DO have political power, but only when we WORK DAMN HARD FOR IT. Get out. Join organizations. And do not stop now. Campaigning happens once, politics happens every damn day.

Be happy now. Your body, mind, and heart need that.

I usually end building for the year in December and I’m thinking about going *hard* on #Warframe content during that month. I’m undoubtedly here for a while, want to build out & share. Including the Clan. youtu.be/cE8nwZ3c3oY?...
Join the Warframe clan!

Eyegor off to a good home. Name of “Abby Normal” I think. #puppets #smallbusiness

Hey all, first ever sale at my direct shop! Please share around, small #artists are hurting. Your support is appreciated! #puppets #smallbusiness #maker www.operationpuppet.com/my-direct-sh...

Well I just came up with a melee Harrow build I quite like (which is *not* what his kit is geared for). Meta players must *hate* seeing me in a public squad. Heretic, as usual. #warframe

Woooo doggy. Insomnia on a daylight savings change night and feeling the effects of double barrel vaccination. My Sunday brain is *cooked*. 😵‍💫
November 2, 2025 at 8:23 AM
Starting to feel achy from the double vaccine (Covid and flu) today. RFK Jr was right! Why oh why didn’t I listen to the obviously smart man?

Oh right, he’s a shambling husk whose septic brain runs on vodka and grift money. That would be why.

More & more I feel that the #fediverse is a kind of bomb shelter for the last survivors of the Internet. So much of it is unusable thanks to big tech & #AI. And #Bluesky is not the answer.

Is it perfect? Seamless? Easy? Nope. But humans are messy. I'll opt for messy and human, thanks.

Good: the new #owncast server performed great. Less good: I need to totally rearrange my desk to stop mic feedback from my GPU. Hopefully another (longer) #warframe stream tomorrow!
