psst #GryphonAppreciationDay is on the 31st of July

Another mindfuck is realizing that decision about some aspect of a massive company. There wasn't some process or jury. There's just Some Person that decided most of it. And when that person is you, you get it. People come and think a choice was some huge deliberation. It wasn't. You just... decided.

This looks far to shiny and new to be fitting to this very well used Massey 550 scraper tractor. It's only in for a new engine and king pins rebuilding but going do something about that cab now

Spending my evening in Accident and Emergency having shards of metal dug out eye was not high on the list of how I thought my day would go today. The whole experience is about as uncomfortable as you can imagine it being.

Open for more stickers as rent approaches! Almost done with the previous lot already as they don't take as long as I thought :) all info on listing, thanks for looking! ko-fi.com/damntazzle/c... (*fullbody wips are being sent out this weekend if you haven't had one already!) #furryart #commsopen

Did you use limewire and how bad did it fuck up your computer?

I somehow missed that Tim Tam's are now available in the UK. Totally didn't just go but a tonne of them!! Look to be genuine aussi imports too.

Quick messy painting of a new character, a Gnoll druid necromancer, Talin. He's FTM! (He/him!) I'll never play him because I'm too socially anxious to play DnD but he's been living in my head rent-free for a while and wanted to paint him! #gnoll #art #dndart #dndoc #ocsky #ocart #hyena #furryart

Do you enjoy my paintings and art? Would you be interested in owning one? Good news! @cryptish.bsky.social and I have just launched our brand new Etsy shop! Currently it lists 21 of my originals, with free UK shipping! Please take a look at nokturnalcrafts.etsy.com ! #art #artforsale #etsy

I highly recommend a read of this piece. My own thoughts coming soon... rustquake.com/posts/feb-fu...

The con crud has well and truly got me today. Haven't managed to do anything all day. I normally do quite well to avoid it too. Work tomorrow is going to have hard going.

Heading out to con! Here's how to find me if you're attending Scotia (please note I am not in the main den Sat/Sun, I am in the Monday Reroll!) See you all soon! #sc2025

Getting in to suit and @ratchetfox.bsky.social has just figured out that he can rub my fursuit chest then give me one hell of a static shocks. Something tell me he won't forget this new trick any time soon!!

The elites don want you to know this but the birbs in Glasgow are free, you can just take them!!

So sad to hear about the passing of @lapine.org.uk He was one of the first furs I ever had the pleasure to meet in person after I picked up the courage to attend the Chester meet way back in 2008. You will be missed by a lot of people bunny.

Just got lucky with this year's car tax expiring just before they start taxing EV's in April. It was good while it lasted, still saving over £1,300 a year vs what I was paying in diesel. Only an other 4 years untill the Land Rover is over 40 years old and becomes tax exempt

Playing bakery counter roulet at a Dutch supermarket for dinner today. No idea what anything is as it's all in Dutch but there's 99.9% chance it will be some variant on cheese flavour XD

Getting in to the festive spirit in the workshop today. Smells amazing in here.

I love how appropriate the name of my nearest Amazon locker is!!

Had a trip up to Aberdeen this weekend. EV charging infrastructure in the UK has improved a lot since last year! With the exception of Hamilton services in Glasgow every services had multiple chargers installed with plenty available. Even used the fancy hydrogen fuel cell chargers at Cairn Lodge.

I planned to spend this evening doing Christmas shopping, what I actually did was get totally distracted,learn about Celtic Rainforests, then spend several hours planning walks in Coed Felenrhyd & Llennyrch and Coed Cadair up to the summit of Cadair Idris.

Giving birbs some much needed affection 💕 🦅 @mattgryphon.bsky.social

I might be getting a little carried away with rebuilding this tractor engine now. Even broke out the Glyptal paint for the head! Shame its going back in to an absolutely knackered Massey 550 yard scraper. I'm amazed that I was still able to buy a brand new engine block for a 1970's tractor!

少しずつ作品上げていきます〜

Apparently this hotell thinks light switches are so out of fashion. On a serious note, how on earth would someone with limited or no vision manage when 90% of the room is controlled only via an iPad.

Friendly visitor at work today just chilling in the sun outside the office window.

Found a polish supermarket with birb branding!! No other supermarket need exist in Poland now xp

The hotell I'm staying at in Recklinghausen has a birb lamp in the room!!! I fully approve of this!!!

Art Fight attack against @damntazzle.bsky.social! Did a bit extra because I have wanted to draw their character for so long. 😄 #artfight #furryart 🦎

Cleaning the kitchen this morning and I'm still finding remains of cake batter from when I dropped the running electric whisk XD How the hell did it end up on the ceiling the other side of the room!!

This is the third time in 7 days that I have been stuck on the same section of motorway. 4 hours at a standstill still on Wednesday, 2 hours stood still on Friday.... And today who knows yet. The driving standard in the UK is absolutely appalling lately ;v;

Didn't think I'd be seeing the inside of this engine quite so soon after a rebuild. Left it idling and the stupid thing ran away on me after the turbo failed and filled the intake with oil, managed to jump in and stall it before it put a rod in to orbit bit still did quite some damage ;v;

Arrived at Scotiacon! Just a matter of remembering how to be sociable birb again. It's been sooo long.

I need to get on that bus!! Sounds like it's going to my kind of place Ovo

Out of curiosity, do I have any mutuals in the Montréal area? Going to be in Canada for a work trip next week with a full day on Sunday to myself.

oops, all pups! wait how did that bird get in here... #furryart

Got a really nice gift from @ratchetfox.bsky.social he commissioned this awesome headshot from @damntazzle.bsky.social Want an amazing art of your own character? Check out Taz's details here linktr.ee/tazzle

Cities I've visited in 2023. Sadly 80% of these are all work related trips. Cities I've been to in 2023... 🇬🇧 Manchester 🇬🇧 Salisbury 🇬🇧 Birmingham 🇬🇧 Chester 🇬🇧 Aberdeen 🇬🇧 Dundee 🇬🇧 Lincoln 🇬🇧 Glasgow 🇮🇱 Tel-Aviv 🇮🇱 Be'er Sheva 🇳🇱 Amsterdam 🇳🇱 Zwolle 🇳🇱 Hardenberg 🇳🇱 Enschede 🇩🇪 Dusseldorf 🇩🇪 Dortmund

As much as I absolutely hate this time of year when it's perpetually dark and grey, it's still makes for some really nice walks.

Birb beer!! Not going to lie, I totally brought this based on the can art alone. It's far too easy to sell me stuff with birds xp

Well, I never thought I'd be rolling this car over quarter of a million miles! Only had 50k on the clock when I brought it. I'm impressed with the longevity of the mid 2000's duratorq diesel. Sadly it's will eventually be priced off the road by ULEZ charges and increasing road tax.

I've got a Mercedes EQ rental car while working over in Germany. I'm honestly not sure if I'm driving a car or someone's gaming PC there is that much LED lighting going on here!!

It's amusing how much anti EV stuff dad buys in to, to the point where he flat out refused to get in mine. He was genuinely concerned that having the lights on at night would drain the battery and I wouldn't make it home. Even with him knowing I regularly do 4+ hour journeys :D

Seems totally legit to me.... To make it even better this was installed from the factory on a piece of equipment that has a peak load of 31 amp. For those outside the UK our plugs have a max rating of 13 amp.

Gryphons? Gryphons ✔️ #furry #furryart #digitalart #illustration #gryphons #gryphon

Every now and then those of us that work in IT majorly fuck up. Tonight was my turn. Sent an entire factory facility dark after nuking a HA firewall cluster. Spending several hours remotely rebuilding a firewalls from scratch was not how I had planned to spend my evening.

Does anyone know of artists taking NSFW fursuit draw over commissions? I'm liking the idea of getting something with gryph as it's not likely that I'm ever going to post actual fursuit lewds.

Just bumped in to someone in fursuit in Northwich Sainsbury's. I was totally not prepared to randomly bump in to a suiter at 8pm on a Monday night in my local supermarket :D
