Part 1 of the comic I've been working on for the past week, Coyote Helps Place the Stars!

If crossroads are liminal places, I wonder what kind of witchy herbs one could grow in a traffic circle garden…

Oh my gods I love these. Bring back illustrative book covers, US publishers :D

Ah, that moment when you discover a random body response isn't just something everyone has that's so normal they don't talk about, but actually a minor medical condition... Yay? (You mean it's NOT normal that relatively-light scratching of bare skin will leave a raised red area?)

I made the Silicon Dawn and I have no idea what the heck TPOT is. I am also definitely not an Internet Rationalist, I generally consider that to be in the same bin of "intellectually smart but emotionally stupid people who use their idea of logic to justify being assholes".

So this sent me off into a weird reverie about the tangled relationship between postfurry, transhumanism, and rationalism. "Postfurry" as such arose in the early 2000s, out of a group of furries on a BDSM-focused, text-based roleplay environment called Tapestries. 1/

The problem with talking about the history of Postfurry in any "authoritative" way is that it's sort of just a bunch of stuff that a relatively small friends group did, that then got mythologized (and/or sometimes vilifed)

:) i think rationalists lost their way when they forgot about the fun and cool aspects of transhumanism and tried to become all knowing gods, which is not even the easiest kind of god to become

if you understand this post do a shot

What False Gods are Not. (Some soft kindly words for the abandoned.)

Oh dear I took the back road shortcut past the unmarked therianizing radiation source and now the bar is gonna have to deal with an Actual Coyote (who just wants to work on video game and dinosaur infodumps)

*taps microphone* *braces against squeal* Hello, Bluesky! We've been a few months in the baking, and we're still putting the finishing touches on our menu, but gamehen.games, our new site, is finally live, as is our new blog!

Anyone here a pro at designing boardgames? I have this neat monetary system in Noss, and I wanna develop a game using these chips, but I wanna make sure it's balanced and complex and fun. If you have some ideas and are interested in helping craft this, let me know! The game is called Qu.

Hell this morning has another deeply surprised soul

RED PANDA TEA!!!

The best fruit

Wow. I am pretty sure I was only there for a matter of months, more than 25 years ago and yet I'm finding myself unexpectedly messed up about this. Thank you for this <3

wheres the problem sleuth anime

I'd like to learn more about therian and otherkin culture outside the English-speaking world. I presume there's a lot of different animal-people stuff that's not just furry going on out there. Anyone have any experience with that? Do you know critters I could reach out to? RTs appreciated <3

ABDL or "Littles" get such unfair treatment in our spaces. They're lumped in with those who are dangerous when in actuality the ones who need age regression to feel safe are some of the most vulnerable amongst us. Remember that we are all fighting a different fight. You dont know why someone hurts.

following the distance and trajectory of first vulpine and now hellbent, the next one is going to be at my house

You'd think this would be self-validation but I'm very good at coming up with reasons why I don't count XD (Hence all the 😐 ones, which I put down for things where it just felt "partial")

Hey There Little One

fun coyote therian activity: get a big plush snake you can repeatedly toss up in the air and then roll around on to get its scent all over you, maybe lavender-filled?

My pet theory is that the conversational style and the system being tuned to suggest a followup action giving the pull to keep going makes it feel like time is moving faster.

VINDICATION! The first thing I thought of when hearing “AI increases productivity” is an HCI study from the 80s which haunts me: When tasked with using keyboard shortcuts vs mouse, they believe keyboard is faster but it’s not; they just discount the time they take remembering the shortcut

Further airport adventures: Just got handed a sticker from someone who looked like they’re heading home from AC (who presumably thought I was too XD)

I’m doing fruitless web research on places to sleep in O’Hare airport; how’s YOUR Sunday night going

Bookstore haul! Finally reading some @restingdinoface.bsky.social! (And then also a vintage impulse-buy because the new+used bookstore is DANGEROUS)

Boat partyyy

Tfw @avianinvasion.com uses magic dj powers to open the Fremont Bridge.

A house a few doors down has a cherry tree that slightly overhangs the path. I’ve been snagging a cherry whenever I walk past despite feeling a little wary I’ll be called out. But now they’re getting to overripe and it looks like no one in the house has picked any. Honestly baffling.

Time to go to pride!

I have made another tabletop game! Courage and Challenges grew out of my enjoyment of narrative dice systems, that give you more dimensions than just succeed/fail, and my interest in adding a little unpredictability to my text RPs! latrani.itch.io/courage-chal...

Blazetide pre-cooking is done! I only hurt myself a little and made barely any mess. I’m a good puppy!

Tomorrow ✨🔥✨ Hope to see you there!

So it seems that even using DuckDuckGo with all the AI features turned off, I am no longer safe from AI summaries. Pictured are the search results for @nkjemisin.bsky.social's "The Ones Who Stay and Fight". The first thing I noticed was that the "snippets" seemed very... spoilery? 1/

i regret nothing

Perhaps the key to healthy interaction with difficult colleagues is to internalize all sides of "what is even wrong with this person?" Which is to say: Simultaneously thinking "gosh I wonder what they're having a hard time with today, how can I make that easier?" and also "eat shit and die, jerk."

One week from today! Really excited about this, we have some lovely folks coming to share music, including the folks who do the Midnight Snail dances in local parks, and @trinary.one who’s DJed at Fetch events. So looking forward to this. DM for deets 🩵💙💜

Salmonberry season!

This is in TWO WEEKS! Come celebrate with music, food, fire and queer furries and postfurries in North Seattle! DM for details
