"If I'm not allowed to brutalize and murder people anonymously, I'm going to quit!" Don't threaten me with a good time.

🚌 Noem and Bovino had "full faith" from the administration, so maybe the dog murderer should start packing.

Weird how every time the Trump admin is accused of criming, there's some issue where they flood the server room, or 'accidentally delete' Secret Service text messages, or 'have a system crash'.

The tyrannical government that wants to kill you for having guns is here! Someone call the NRA to save us! (Yes I know they came out against with words, but given how they ran around playing Red Dawn cosplay for Obama and Biden, that's weak shit.)

www.youtube.com/watch?v=W0wY... TL;DW: If a cop 'objectively believes' that entering a private residence without a warrant is necessary to 'prevent harm' to an occupant, they can. Once inside, anything they find can be used as evidence in criminal proceedings.

Today is apparently "Squirrel Appreciation Day." I have appreciated three squirrels today. Is that enough?

www.seattletimes.com/nation-world... This could absolutely be the honest truth, but given how often this admin flagrantly lies for no reason or gain, if Donald Trump isn't on TV within the next 24 hours, I'm gonna have a lot of questions.

www.politico.com/news/2026/01... "Well, MAYBE they did an oopsie privacy violation!" Stop patronizing us. We know they did, it was absolutely their goal from Day 1. I work in IT and had I done a fraction of this, I'd be lucky to only lose my job forever. Don't piss on me and tell me it's raining.

@kodikins.bsky.social Hello! Apologies for the intrusion, this was the listed contact on FA. Are you perhaps still in contact with Atar LaFay? I came across some of his work that he wrote that he mentioned was inspired by work I did long ago. Thank you for your consideration. :)

Nathan's armor gets complaints sometimes because of the bare arms and bracers. My headcanon is that as combat is not his primary job, the HELTAN he wears uses bracers and shin guards instead of full sleeves for portability and endurance.

...huh. I finally did it. 38 double red blood donations, and 24 whole blood donations...that's 100 units. My second checkpoint goal. Here's to another 100!

We love to see it! Community-created harm reduction infrastructure to contest the alarming integration of AI agents into the Windows operating system (which is currently the most reckless deployment environment) ♥️ github.com/zoicware/Rem...

New blog post on my plans for the future. www.hawkandawe.com/2026/01/11/d...

Since Skype died, I've been using Google Voice as a phone on my computer. It works but it grabs media keys input and calls randomly. I've tried running it as a PWA but I'd really just prefer to block it from intercepting media keys, but apparently media keys in Waterfox are all-or-nothing...

Now thinking about getting proton.me/mail and having all my extant emails forward there. Maybe have them host on one of my domains.

www.beeper.com Anyone used this? Looks almost like a modern incarnation of Trillian. I am tempted because running Discord, Telegram, Signal, Google Messages, and Slack is honestly kinda a pain. Huge resource inefficiency.

bsky.app/profile/bunb... Haven't used it since the campaign I played in ended in 2007. But now won't ever again.

I bet they'll let you work there too. I guess I thought we figured out Company Towns and scrip were trash long ago.

Black people five years ago: you know, they can kill anyone they want to out there Everybody today: hot damn, did you know they can kill anyone they want to out there?

I do not consider myself an artist, but sometimes, I get inspired.

My garage at my apartment has only one door (the motorized garage door). There is a key-release on the door, however, I do not have the key, and despite repeatedly asking for it, the landlord claims to not have one. If the power's out, I can't open the garage door. Wisconsin, any advice?

I thought that businesses should be able to refuse service to anyone they want? For any reason they want?

www.hawkandawe.com/2026/01/03/t... A blog post exploring my long suffering with "plagiarism" accusations over a five letter word I was using first, and debate about the cultural future of my fantasy bird races.

Plot twist: the parrot knows damn well what it's doing, and did it anyways because it thinks breaking things is funny. As parrots do.

Fuck, I didn't realize I was dead!

@scarletdetector.bsky.social Ah, here you are! Yay redtails! I remember watching your friend YellowTailHawk back on the old site that shall not be named, loved their photos. Is there any chance they have moved here? I was never able to find them...

Wait, really? BRB going to home and garden store!

Harpy New Year!

I'm leaving until next year. You better not get up to any trouble before I get back! Unless that trouble involves turning me into my fursona, in which case, what are you waiting for?

@pheagleadler.bsky.social Where's my money?

reason.com/2025/12/26/j... A public servant doing their job in public has no expectation of privacy. And in the famous words of Bush administration, "If you're not doing something wrong, why do you need privacy?"

My ISP is offering me a 5-year price guarantee at 300Mbps for $5 more per month than my current plan of 500Mbps. While the current plan is only good for one year, I have no guarantee of being here in 5 years. And I'm not paying more per month for lower speeds.

Oh no.

I'm looking for a empty frame for an RPG battle. Preference towards Final Fantasy 1, Dragon Quest 3, or Gen 1 Pokemon. Want to make an updated version of this: www.furaffinity.net/view/26857585/

New blog post on Dark Theming and general accessibility.

This is so accurate to my experience it hurts.

New blog post, about my own commitment to be better and improve myself, and being there for my friends.

This is the first Loving Reaper comic I ever saw, years ago. Today I was reminded the series existed and was crying after five strips. Five. Jenny Jinya does amazing work with the comic, but DO NOT BINGE IT. Take it slow. It's important things that need to be said but be careful.

"Weird" is often used as an insult by the majority, a blunt cudgel used to keep people from expressing themselves in ways the majority finds uncomfortable. But given the rot inherent in our society, maybe 'normal' isn't something to aspire to. Be weird. Express yourself. YOLO.

Warning for Protogens: THIS IS A TRAP! There is no RAM here. They'll abduct you, strip you for parts, and turn you into an LLM!

www.gofundme.com/f/support-no... Tincrash, a long time TF artist (active when I joined back in the early 2000s!) had a stroke and needs rehab and US healthcare sucks. Money is tough for everyone, but at least spread the word.

New blog post about writing projects! www.hawkandawe.com/2025/12/14/t...

So a few days ago, I posted this in a furry server, and @jakkal.bsky.social said it was unrealistic because nobody would be happen about becoming a bird. I believe this claim should be tested empirically, but that might be hard, so sound off if you'd be OK with becoming a bird!

So my smartphone has only 4GB of RAM. Its obviously slowing down but as its in good shape and paid off, I want to keep it. Anyone have thoughts aside a reset? Like a resource manager app for Android to see what's eating RAM?
