california is gonna have so many mail in ballots that don’t get counted because people don’t know the new USPS rules that are impacting mail in voting. tl;dr don’t put your ballot in the mail today, find a ballot drop box. www.kqed.org/news/1208537...

Oops another dragon video #vrchat

If you are on GitHub, please give your NSFW/queer/furry peers some support 🙏: github.com/bluesky-soci... Given bsky team's track record, I have doubts about the effectiveness of directly appealing to them. But short of abandoning the platform, it's at least some form of action.

By this point, any defense of using generative AI ends up boiling down to "I just don't care about other people."

a little tiny microscopic dragon, rotifers passing by. I've spent a lot of time peering down a microscope in the last few years, enjoyed taking inspiration from the real tiny organisms to make one of my own.

While regulations.gov incorrectly lists this action as "closed for comments", you can submit your comments directly here: www.regulations.gov/commenton/OM... My response is below, but don't feel that you need to draft anything nearly so long-winded. A short statement will also be very helpful.

I got my first VR headset, a valve index, at some point in 2023. VR helped me overcome severe social anxiety and self-hatred. I met nearly all of my dearest friends and even my partner in there. VR has pushed me to learn and create more than I ever have.

I (UNOFFICIALLY) added animations to all of the Furality badges! Currently figuring out how to distribute the non-staff edits as free patchers.

Put a drawing tutorial I made last year about raptor feet here. It covers some anatomical features and shares my approach to studying animal structures. I hope it will be helpful！ #tutorial #animal

Last year, miHoYo copied my puzzle game Ouros in Zenless Zone Zero. Because they are a recognized, billion-dollar studio and my game isn't well known, some people are now assuming that their version is the original, and mine is the clone. I hope this video clears that up.

My girl Zira, manually Rigged to the Fluffy Gryphon was tedious work, but the Quad IK is WAY better in VRC! You can purchase manyblinkinglights base here: manyblinkinglights.itch.io/fluffy-gryph... And Purpzie's edit is free, here: jinxxy.com/Purpzie/gryp... #vrchat #quad #IK

Dude, all of the new stuff everyone has been working on in the Furality dealer's den is amazing. I'm so incredibly proud of this community. You're all inspiring and wonderful. (The world is kind of broken and they're still working on it! It's why there hasn't been an announcement. Expect bugs.)

pigeon stack! 🪶

the creature movement in this is incredible

Holy shit, my friend @jeymccreight.bsky.social was beaten nearly to death on the street by a transphobe who recognized him from his LGBTQ advocacy. He started a GoFundMe to aid in his recovery gofund.me/9328f91f2

Does anyone know a tool or script to upload multiple VRC avatars to both pc and android while respecting per-platform overrides? I try to stay medium rank and upload multiple versions for different outfits and such, but it's getting annoying to upload them all when I make a base change 😓

Lolllllll #birdCalls #EDM

There’s a massive immigration operation in Memphis right now, but you may not have heard about it. Why? Community members face retaliation for trying to spread the word out, a lawsuit alleges.

If you figure out what the thing that makes you happiest is, you will make it with such unparalleled enthusiasm that it will be impossible for people not to notice in a way that will be so much more memorable than treating yourself like a branded product before you figure out who you are.
