someone on tumblr asked if this was my doing.
No, I would have made it say "gender and bees"

ooh I should make a floppy disk label generator.
Like copy the Mac, Microsoft, and Sierra disk label styles, and just have the deathgenerator overlay them over generic floppy disk images
Show threadRue MohrMar 16

@foone ok, you know I was just tempted to make a floppy, but a) I dont have a colour printer b) I dont have tools to properly generate a mac filesystem (I'm running linux, so I might, but if I do I dont know if)

I leave it to you!

@foone I could replicate some in Inkscape if I have some samples to reference! Would be a fun little project for me.

@foone add MECC to that list (if you do 5.25”) and make the unfloppyied label downloadable

@foone I've got floppy labels for my dymo thermal printer. If you make it, I'll definitely print some of them off :3

Don't do it, it's a trick! Only the first 50,000 are free, after that the charge a "convenience fee"!

@foone @NanoRaptor Makes me think of a character from Adrian Tchaikovsky's Dogs of War series which involves genetically engineered, cyborg creatures created for military service. The main characters are Rex, a humanoid dog, Honey, a bear, Dragon, a lizard, and Bees, a bunch of bees. Rex notes on a number of occasion that "Bees is bees." Which I think means that Bees often acts like bees but also that Bees is its own type of entity, distinct even from the other Bioforms.

@NanoRaptor I suspected as much! Someone sent it to me on tumblr asking if it was my work. I knew it wasn't, but I wanted to confirm it was yours before I answered them.

Thanks!

I knew someone whose sideline was making mailing cages to send bees through the Australian postal system. Apparently, mailing queen bees around is quite a thing! 🐝✉️
