Wanna take this li'l guy home? Stop by the #anthrocon charity table and enter the raffle!

First haul of AC! (It turns out there is a Penzey's three blocks from my hotel so I took the opportunity to replenish my spice cupboard. I have been out of mace for months after my local grocery stopped carrying it. 😣)

Went to Primanti's by myself and that was possibly a mistake. I don't think I'll be hungry again until Thursday.

Someone did not understand the crafting system.

I should make a damn OC to go in my own damn lore

I have been shangaied into GMing a Pathfinder 2 game. Nobody in the group has played PF2 before, though we've done D&D for years and just finished PF1 Rise of the Runelords. The group does not do heavy RP but pure combat would drive ME crazy. What module should I run? 😅

I am on call until 9:30 tonight and fly out 9:30 tomorrow morning and no I am definitely not incredibly annoyed about this.

While I normally only wear cryptofurry garments around the mundanes, today I just said screw it and threw on a Camp Howl print I had to leave out of AC packing.

Oh huh, furry porn of my local football msacot. I'm surprised it took me this long to stumble on it. XD

There's an AC panel for "not-famous canines" which is run by a coyote and like... 🤔🤔🤔 Pretty sure coyote is the fourth most popular canid and the fifth is so much further down I'm not really sure what it would be. Maned wolf?

Of the several disappointments I had trying to read He Who Fights With Monsters, one of the earliest was realizing the title's "with" meant "against" rather than "beside."

Anthrocon nears! Critters and Cryptids and Curses! Please behold this themed badge I was lucky enough to acquire. It is of course from @briarsthorne.bsky.social .

Absolutely disagree. R&J is not a *romance*, but it is very definitely a love story. All love is insane, and disastrous teenage love the most of all.

ok heres my shitty comic

Ugh, this depends on which story universe it is. Worst case is getting eaten by a demon; best case is collecting my author-mandated boyfriend and retiring to the epilogue. Somewhere in the middle is getting "adopted" by a dragon or an otter (don't ask) who makes me their pet. 🤔

Anthrocon started in the 90s. And this year, it will be in the 90s once again.

Tonight’s dumb napkin cartoon…

Yep. I basically have a priority list of issues and go down it until I find a place where the candidates are significantly different. (My current top issues of "maintain democracy" and "imprison Trump" means modern Rs almost all get knocked out immediately.)

One of the lesser but still annoying aspects of AI cultists is the desire to shake them while yelling "No one will pay you for doing a job you aren't actually doing!"

So apparently photosynthetic micro-organisms are being classified as "vandals" now. 🤔

Fat Horse No. 7 It’s the year of the horse and I’ve always been a horse girl at heart, so I’m finally taking advantage of the excuse to fill the world with fat little horses! These felted friends are the size and shape of an apple, and if you have any apples to share I’m sure they’d help you out!

Unless you are deathly ill or have a family priest, no you don't.

Dear Reader, Expanding your vocabulary is one of the easiest forms of self improvement. In short, better yourself. Cheers, Another reader. 💜

Old person opinion #521: Bar soap is great. It's cheap and lasts forever if you have the right kind of dish for it. "Ohh it's got so many germs on it!" Maybe—but you know what you're gonna do immediately after touching it? Wash your hands! XD

On a whim, I bought some Crystal Light for the first time in forever. Then I dug through my cabinets because there is only one pitcher I own that's suitable for a drink like that.

Going through the AC panel schedule and hilariously the panel type that's most often missing a description is the Writing ones. 😅

Evolution: "Gonna make humans social to survive." Me: "Okay." Evolution: "You will literally die of anxiety (and bears) if shunned." Me: "Seems excessive, but needs must." Evolution: "You specifically will be so anxious about it, it'll be impossible to join a group in the first place." Me: "WTF??"

One thing that intensely irritates me about my company's AI adoption is how so many crappy broken resources—APIs, tech/policy docs, task trackers, operations tools—were never important enough to fix for human users, but as soon as AI wants them too they get giant overhauls to make them useful. 😑

TIL if a Brit named "Hamish" shows up in a book it's not because they're Indian, it's because they're Scottish.

Several stacked threads about OSS and UX. See also: why everything I have heard about the Mastodon experience has made me want to avoid it, why I gave up on GIMP after finding out it wasn't even as useful to me as MSPaint.

FFS turn off location on your phone already.

I should stop going on vacations. It just makes me hate my job more. 🤔

We heard Anthrocat was kind of popular - now you can take them home with you 👀😺 Official Anthrocat plushies, in partnership with @corgibeans.bsky.social, will be available to purchase at the Con Store along with A LOT of new merch! We'll reveal more as we get closer! #Anthrocon

I have been visiting my parents for a week and I think I this point I have repaired 80% of the tech in the house and unsubscribed them from 17 mailing lists.

I greatly look forward to being in the right city to get one of these again in a couple weeks. (Although it will be slightly annoying that the closest location is in Oakland.)

😆 (Also as I have previously pointed out: while you may have bought it before he was a flagrant nazi, you definitely didn't buy it before he was known as a disgusting selfish asshole.)

Do not play dice with coyotes.

Near my ancestral house is a shop serving soft ice cream cones that they will dip into chocolate or strawberry or a couple other things, making a candy shell around the outside. I've never encountered this anywhere else. Also watching them turn the cone UPSIDE DOWN to dip it is anxiety-inducing. 😆

It is VERY unlikely that Piggy's glasses would have been able to start fires.

The sound of meowing 🐾

I wonder what the period of history with the highest ratio of screen time (movies+tv+videos) spent on it vs actual time it took is. 🤔

The core conceit of many VNs is that one or more hot people throw themselves at the protagonist for no clear reason and their being an aggressive dom basically prevents that. 🤔
