Like this, but hackercamp spec:
A cup and saucer on a tiny outdoor shelf, underneath an equally tiny pitched roof. A roadside shrine to a nice cup of tea and a sit down.

That time I found a pile of old NASA research documents in a skip and took them home for a lark.

A flyer from 'the transmedia foundation' probably circa 1994. I'm going to hope for some OCR for the text, but the tagline is 'Nothing short of a total gender' which, uh, if you say so.

A fake 70s Panther SF paperback cover. The alleged author is 'Humbrol Q. Insecticide' and the title of the alleged book is 'Nude alien totty having sex with machinery'. I dunno if that's a real Foss, mind.

New red-team name just arrived in the time machine.
A Gaymer's cider advert from the fifties. In part it reads 'Gayflag if you prefer it sweet. Gaysec if you prefer it dry. Olde English special quality. Obtainable from your usual supplier.'

There are days when I feel like I'm not really a writer. Then I look through the used notebook pile.
The bottom shelf of an IKEA bookcase. There are two stacks of books. On one side there's a bound set of a SANS 'Hacker techniques' course, a Bernd & Hilla Becher book, and Jeff Vandermeer's Wonderbook.

On the other are notebooks. Lots of notebooks. On further inspection you might find that the majority of them are filled with stories and notes for same.

You’ve been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV show you watched are trying to rescue you. Who is coming to save you?
A screencap of Keira Knightley and Ben Whishaw from Black Doves. They're in a bronze BMW, driving away from the scene of what turned into a messy encounter with a pair of gunsels.

I'm going to be sad if this has succumbed to terminal rot:
A DR-110 drum machine on my bench in front of a set of screwdrivers and my SGI keyboard.  I do not yet know if I can repair it.

Just read the alt text. I put my heart into it. (precis: I'm going back tomorrow with cash for the red cups and the Anthora cup)
The contents of the window display from the surplus catering equipment shop down the road. There are stacks of plates front and centre, and the thing we care about most is the stack of oversize red cups & saucers with almost Clarice Cliff angular handles.

There's also an Anthora cup in the background, which for suburban Bristol is a bit of a find. I hope the dude who runs it opens tomorrow, because I will be there like Fry, waving cash.

Realised I'd explained v6 DNS automation pipelines too much, so made a GF chocolate cake to de-stress.
A gluten free chocolate cake. It's had one slice cut out to show the icing and that it's not sludge or poison in the middle. The slice sits on a Poole black pebble side plate, while the cake is on a Pyrex Chelsea pattern dinner plate.

The notes from my past selves under my monitor.
The post-its attached under my monitor. They read 'Trans liberation now' (that's really a sticker), 'Cash from chaos' (advice from a former braincare specialist), a drawing of a cheerful and square-faced robot of the wind-up variety, 'the Japanese clocks in Snowshill Manor provide a useful time-capacitor' (notes for an as yet unfinished novel), and 'save yourself for art' (the requirement for such advice is the reason for the unwritten nature of the previously referenced novel)

Writers: Show us your desk! One rule: no tidying it (we want to see it as it is). Maybe take down that list of all your passwords, though. (You don't have to be in it, if you prefer not to be - the desk's the thing...)
The workroom. Contains OSX kit, IBM & SGI k/bs, Korg, Casio & Quasimidi synths, microcontrollers, Polish surplus blankets, and the Flag of The Resistance.

Tired and freaked out, so baking. It's gluten free, the raspberry jam is home made, and the pyrex Chelsea pattern plate belonged to my parents. Although I think I beat the mixture too much. I need a cake safeword. (I will make a disturbing cottagecore hacker g/f)

Yep still think this CCC-inspired ink is the best thing.
Some random trans bird showing off a sleeve tattoo. It starts on the shoulder as a CCC logo and mutates into watercolour flowers. Because.

Bristol, yesterday.
A sticker on a lamppost, which reads 'queer anti-fascists' in English and Welsh. Instead of the usual pair of flags, there are stylised heels.

EHLO BSkyB. I abin seeing to some terraform and having it gothic fetish club. (abin is Cotswold dialect, for those of you following along at home)
A very random trans woman in period costume. (A Dane top from, like, 1998)Me casting a long shadow on a tarmac path. There's a weird stain on the path that looks something like a sacred heart, were you feeling charitable. The two things are overlaid for the obvious effect.

Some very random trans bird's collarbone, and a hint of boob. If that's a thing for you, then you're looking in wrong place on here, frankly. Upon that is a watercolour tattoo, featuring the trans symbol overlaid on a stylised sputnik.
