I've been thinking about the role the furry community plays in people's lives. For a lot of people, it functions as an extended family and fills some of the role church used to play vis-a-vis providing community, especially since so many millennial queers in particular have a religious trauma.

wow! me too !

good morning fish fuckers

I struggle to switch tracks for my attention over the course of a day. I work well when I can sink my train of focus into one thing and that's all my meaningful work for a day. I think this is related to neurodivergence and why I don't take small commissions (like under a couple hundred bucks).

ask a kid did any of y'all secretly hope the power would go out for days so that you had an excuse to have fires in the fireplaces and use candles and a little unexpected adventure in life? sometimes, I would sleep in the basement because the wind was so bad we were worried a tree might fall on us

What do you think those 14 werewolves do in their off-days when they're back in human shape? What if you found out that one of them was, like, a barista at your everyday coffee shop, or the shy person you knew from across the room back in high school and friended online but never talked with?

I think the complicated thing is that, with creative work, it's often actually more productive to work less sometimes and do whatever replenishes your creative drive. Bursts of energy come where you get half of the week's work done in one day. Often that work is better quality, too.

you may have heard about a government shutdown over a political fight on saving healthcare benefits. well, in case you didn't think you knew anyone who'd be affected, healthcare assistance covers *more than half* of the cost of my plan. makes a *huge* difference for me. just one datapoint.

If I were a dog I would definitely be a shiba inu. My personality is full of all the same things: stubborn, determined, alert, prone to zoomies, aloof, relentlessly independent and self-sufficient, inscrutable and mysterious

wanded off into my catsuit last night and it made an audible cartoon splat noise

opinions...........

as a semi-expert in AI* I find fear-and-trembling discussions about a possible superintelligence that want to take over from humans to be a frustrating misdirection of concern. The real concern should be how people with power wield these tools, and what people choose to do with them.

It's that time again, friends

Delishos forest babies

The thing I love about eating chanterelle mushrooms is that it really does taste like I'm eating edible forest. Like if you distilled the concept of a mossy, fern-filled woody forest into a flavor that's what it tastes like. Big fan

The cost of living (rent, food, and healthcare mostly) feels totally crushing. I'm dreaming of a time when I'm out of debt and my commissions don't have to feel like this much of an assembly line that I'm working on under constant pressure, and I can work on projects from my own ideas a little bit.

Sometimes, you're just in a state of "I'm tired and overwhelmed, I just want to curl in bed and read good porn for like an hour right now." The same way you'd read a book or watch a movie but with a sexual dimension to it. Rest your body, your social muscles, recover. It's okay. It's valid and good.

Universal furry experience

what a delightful conversation to listen to while drawing! I resonated with everything Brian Eno said and he put it more lucidly than I would've, worth a listen www.youtube.com/watch?v=AfYY...

Sometimes there's so much beauty in the world,... I feel like I can't take it. And my heart is just going to cave in.

Typical coyote conversation.

Something something beware the anger of the kind man That said, I've never seen Hank Green GO OFF like this before youtu.be/Vz0oQ0v0W10?...

Is there a better high than the afterglow of a hard workout, endorphins and stimulants in my system, listening to metalcore, drawing? It's something like heaven

Excited to meet me when I get home so he brings me random soft objects from around the house

think u may have dropped something :>

climbing girl stuff... It's about the 10 yr anniversary of me starting out at the gym and I always tell people it honestly turned my life around in a big way. Exercise lifts my spirits and I wouldn't be who I am today or able to do what I do if I didn't keep at it.

it’s finally autism 🥹🍂

got back into playing Skryim.. it's been a while. I have modding brainrot.

This book. I don't know if I've ever felt so seen and seen through by a book. Highly recommend. If you, like me, happen to be a millennial raised in a maximum effort Southern Baptist upbringing, you should probably read it. Didn't expect to want to revisit so many '00s Christian bands =P

Y'know I don't think I ever actually posted this sticker set I got from @tanraak.bsky.social here! She did an amazing job on these aaaa

"It might not seem like much, but it grounds him. No beast has ever gently folded a pair of trousers. It's a calm reminder that he is he, no matter what. And in unsure moments, that was the exact sort of comfort he needed to keep himself together."

No more coffee, I tell myself... I acknowledge the problems it causes and swear to start my new, less anxious life without it... This is the last cup I'll ever have, I tell myself so many times... But then, my resolution is no match for a couple days of post-covid insomnia and fatigue...

uppies...gotta put those feets in the right places...
