It all began with a corset.

Or maybe a goat.

Or possibly Jenkins.

Regardless, there came a point in my steampunk journey where it became clear that the only way to survive the absurdity was to document it—one meme at a time.

I didn’t set out to be a meme maker. I set out to share a laugh or a knowing nod with others who saw the beauty in brass gears, bad timing, and fictional airships. I posted a few early memes on Facebook, half expecting them to vanish into the aether.

But they didn’t. They took on a life of their own.

People responded. They shared. They quoted. Some even blamed Jenkins, as one should. And somewhere along the way, I realised that this odd little corner of satire, aesthetics, and storytelling was not only allowed—it was welcomed.

So I kept going.

These memes became my creative voice:

• Short enough to post between tea disasters
• Visual enough to reach people beyond the usual blog audience
• Rich enough (sometimes literally poetic) to build a world over time

It wasn’t long before I started hearing people say, “When’s the next one?” or “This needs to be archived.”

Hence… this logbook.

I’m no master illustrator. I can’t draw to save my life—and not for lack of imagination, but due to circumstances that don’t need unpacking here. Let’s just say: I had ideas, but no traditional way to express them.

And then along came the machines.

AI tools gave me something I’d never had before: a way to visualise the chaos in my head.

The teacup disasters. The dignified cats. The spiral staircases of unnecessary engineering.

Suddenly, I could take what I saw in my mind’s eye and build it—slide by slide, meme by meme.

What started as a few Facebook posts became a way to tell stories, make people laugh, and build a little fictional universe. Not because I had all the right skills, but because I found the right tools.

This logbook is the result.

A place for airship mishaps, poetic nonsense, meme-making, and the occasional goat.

Not perfect. Not polished. But possible—and that’s what matters.

"The machain may assist, but the madness is mine.

Just a quick word on the images in this post at the moment. My actual media files for this entier blog, wich I have a back log of will be added as I create more posts and this will be added here and replace the placeholders over the weeks to come.
