On Dec 1st 2023, I posted a spontaneous #RandomChristmasGIF on Twitter.

Friends of friends joined in, followed each other and built friendships. We then did various other GIF topics.

Now also on BlueSky🙂

All welcome

#RandomMovieGIF
#RandomTelevisionGIF
#RandomAutumnGIF
#RandomHalloweenGIF

The first image is on a white background. At the bottom left of the picture is an image of a black and white film clapper board. Next to it is a film and film roll. In the bottom middle of the picture is an image of a brown television set. Next to this are 2 brown leaves, to represent autumn

The writing gives dates for:

#RandomMovieGif – On Going (tarted on Twitter on April 29th 2024)

#RandomTelevisionGif – Ongoing (started June 25th 2025)

#RandomAutumnGif – Sept 1st/21st to Dec 21st

Thesecond image is on a white background.

The black writing says RandomHalloweenGIF and it gives details about to join in by using the hashtag #RandomHalloweenGIF between now and October 31st

The bottom of the pictures features two orange pumpkins, which have faces carved into them. Between the pumpkins are 3 black bats of varying sizes

As Larry says: Happy National Cat Day to cats (and their humans) in the United States🐱

Larry the Cat @number10cat.bsky.social · 4d

Wishing all my friends in the United States a happy National Cat Day. We don't have a National Cat Day in the UK, just a National Cat. Me.

That's quite clever (both as a GIF find and as the 2 film usage)🙂

Mark F @markfreemymind.bsky.social · 5d

Javier, thank you
I did consider that one but I wasn't sure if that was the "I don't want to get germs" emoji or the "I've got germs but I'm trying not to pass them on to others unlike the person I met in the supermarket last week, who was coughing & sneezing everywhere without using a tissue"emoji😭

Mark F @markfreemymind.bsky.social · 5d

🙂Thank you.
I don't think it can last much longer, he says hopefully😪🙂

Mark F @markfreemymind.bsky.social · 5d

I'm reposting this for more sympathy🙃 (I'm joking, but thank you anyway)

However, I think this is more than flu. I thought it was improving tonight, but suddenly...

Where's "not very well" emoji?😡 is that angry emoji?... let's try😱😰😦😞😖... not them either... maybe "not very well" is in hospital?🤔

Mark F @markfreemymind.bsky.social · 9d

I've got a cold/flu/Covid (who knows which one it is anymore. Although judging by Dr Internet, it's the flu)

🎶🙂yes, that is a good sing-along song for mood improvement

Mark F @markfreemymind.bsky.social · 5d

Some UK towns & cities host them (or have done). I don't know this, but I expect some of Shaun of the Dead film locations probably do something special for Halloween.

Quote Post a song that always makes you smile, no matter how down you are:

Talking Body by Tove Lo

A really catchy tune, but the feel good factor is in Tove Lo's live performance (she flashes) but it's not about nudity; it's about celebration of overcoming trauma

(This isn't the live performance)

Mark F @markfreemymind.bsky.social · 5d

Marc, thank you👍🎶

Marc, sorry I misread your post. My brain is pickled - even more than usual - with flu.

Yes, they were fun challenges. Some time in the future, once have less responsibilities, will we have to host another one

Mark F @markfreemymind.bsky.social · 9d

(2/2) I don't want to leave all the work to you and yet me get credit. Hence if you want to make yourself the sole host or ask someone else to join you instead, I completely understand.

However you decide, I'll repost all the pre-publicity for the challenge

Hi Marc @66marck.bsky.social , apologies for not sending this in a DM, but I can't access them.

Yes, doing the RainTop10 challenge again would be good. However, I've become a full-time carer. Therefore, I don't think that I would be able to contribute to replies or the playlists like last year(1/2)

Craig, thank you. I'm hoping that my orange juice's vitamin c will soon kick-in.

I hope you're Friday is good

Rob, thank you🖖🙂

I hope you're having a good Friday

Mark F @markfreemymind.bsky.social · 9d

😂Thank you.

Yes, I'm now, as I'm smiling at the Cookie Monster😂

Mark F @markfreemymind.bsky.social · 9d

Javier, thank you. I will.

I hope you're doing well.

Yes, I'm sceptical of Dr ArtifIcial Intelligence.
Mind you, Dr Internet isn't really any better. It's a wonder that it didn't suggest Myxomatosis or something.
