Repeat after me: You don't owe anything to family that impedes your peace and well-being for the sake of "holidays." "Blood is thicker than water" doesn't mean shit if the blood is poisonous while the water nourishes, sustains life, and promotes growth. Your chosen family is more than enough.

Finally had the mental bandwidth to send a follow-up email to my therapist about the adhd dx, the events surrounding the past few months and the like. My coping mechanisms are... to put it kindly, not working. Please clap.

A little talked about symptom of ADHD is Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria (RSD). This is an intense feeling that everyone hates you. RSD comes in waves, and does not require events to trigger it. You can be walking along with friends having a great time and suddenly you feel an outsider.

Attending MFF. Who's looking to meet moi, awoo? Or if you'd rather I meet you instead, das fine, too!

I bought an insulin cooler last year for bringing Mounjaro with me on flights, etc. Works great. Right up until it didn't. I took it apart and observed that the fan inside it wasn't working. Ordered replacement fan a couple weeks ago. It finally showed up earlier today and I put the cooler back 1/?

It's almost time to hop aboard the FurFest Transit Network! First time passenger? Need a refresher? M.F. Raccoon is here to help:

It's about time

it is quite emotionally distressing to always guess how someone feels about you.

It really bothers me when I explain to people about having ADHD and they're very dismissive saying like "Oh everybody has it" And it's always Gen x responding that way. If I could have you share my mind for one day you would be exhausted. Some days are worse than others.

Oh, uh.... Sorry. I didn't catch that. Honestly, you're right. Also kinda wish it was easier to see at a glance.

Attending MFF? Need an ASL interpreter? Please email [email protected] ASAP! ALSO, midwestfurfest2025.sched.com for the schedule!

Awoo. Hopefully your day is going well. Passing out nao. Also, if you're attending MFF, I would like to know, awoo! And perhaps arrange meetups and the like!

The one piece of advice I give to the newly-cracked eggs is to run toward yourself if you're able to. You're worth it. You deserve better than to be only a little happier. You don't need to put obstacles in your way or punish yourself with little miseries; the world we're in will do that enough.

Gremlin is sleeping on my bed with me. I think she has the right idea.

Sure is a Thing when I finally power on the server after months of having it offline. ... And promptly looking at all of it going, "What the fuck was I doing and why do I not remember any of this?" ... There is a whole ass SSO platform on this thing in a VM backed by Docker. A VPN. Nextcloud...

DEAF FURRIES! I Know there are some of you following me. Attending MFF? Request ASL Interpreters by emailing [email protected], awoo!

If you are attending MFF and wish to learn more about deafness and furry, I present a panel at 3PM CST on Friday! midwestfurfest2025.sched.com/event/2AEYF/...

@voilara.bsky.social you should totally press that heart like a button next time you see Pup. I'm curious as to how Pup reacts. :3

Have dog. Gremlin is aptly named.

... Man, do I want to try reopening the world's I thought about and the stories yet to be told? Hmm... And yet, there be myths and legends to be made... I don't know...

I have discovered ny doggo really loves to hide under beds. And will try to get under beds because they give a den-like feel.

Predictably...

People believe that when you're LGBTIQ+ you come out once, but the reality is that every time you meet a new person, you have to study them to decide if it's a safe space to say it or not

I have new shenanigans afoot. Technical shenanigans, to be more specific. Would there be interest in me either streaming or recording said shenanigans? Intel SC5300BRP server chassis. One thing I know for sure: i/o shield is standard atx. Need to remove everything else tho...

Hey chat. Got a mini dc brushless fan from a peltier-based cooler that seems to still be working but might need oil to spin nicely. What's the best oil for that?

Gremlin lost her first tooth whilst playing bite Keiro's hand! Lil shit... But also, her first tooth! I'm glad I got back home in time for it to fall out while lightly roughhousing.

Oh god after months and months of searching for a decent on-demand print shop for the signs, I think we may finally have a winner! #therian #therianizingradiation #furmeme

Finally heading home. Wish me luck.

Merry Samhain, awoo.

Hey Baltimore residents, we got a stolen fursuit head here. If you see it, get in contact with Sock.

Who is attending MFF and would like to meet up? Depending on how this one goes, I may end up skipping next year. We'll see. Too early to tell but.... At the same time, trying to not let MFF be tainted by the recent events I've been going through.

🎨 Hey Artists! 🎨 Make sure to remember to register for Marketplace! Applications are open through TOMORROW 11:59pm 🎃

Sometimes I wish I could sleep for as long as I desired. To stay with dreams that bring peace to me. Infinite Moments... It hurts to not be able to touch and to pet and make silly noises...

“It’s not my job to feed someone else’s kids.” It kind of is. That’s what you do when you’re part of a social species, dude.

Walkin' outta time...

I'm going to start a new political party. It's called Shut The Fuck Up and Feed People. "But what if they're on drugs?" Shut The Fuck Up And Feed People "Or not really THAT poor?" Shut The Fuck Up And Feed People "What if they have a phone and nice nails?" SHUT THE FUCK UP AND FEED PEOPLE

Just wanted to reassure people that I'm okay. Still processing things... But I'm okay. Well, other than the car issue. But even that will eventually get sorted. .... But I'm okay. (I might be lying to myself...)

Been a long, long time since I felt... Betrayed. Yes, I think that's the right word here... So long, in fact that I'm still processing. Eventually I will move on but right now I'm... I don't know.

Is this what being numb feels like? Not sure I like it...

I really wish I hadn't found out this way. Why? Not that it matters, now...

Tire do be fucked... Still awaiting word on how much it's gonna hurt the wallet. And how I'm paying for it. :D Still 1,500+ miles away from home. No, I'm not anxious, why do you ask? *nervous laugh*

Took me a minute to realize that I couldn't reply realizing that this whole thread explains my thing about rsd for the most part. But also... The manipulation that comes from having my hearing used against me combining with the rsd and this. Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Disabled people should not be forced into institutions just because you don’t think they “deserve” housing and support. Institutions cost the tax payer more money, but they also rob people of autonomy and control. With adequate support we can retain our independence which helps us thrive.

Quietly screaming cos I lost my water bottle. -_-
