Was listening to Portugal, The Man's "Feel it Still" song and this parody came to mind. I had to get it on paper, despite having no artistic talent what so ever.

Just a friendly reminder as we go into the holidays: Folks don't have to explain to you why they don't drink. If you offer them a drink and they decline, don't ask them why. It's not your business. Just offer them something without alcohol to drink instead. And move on.

I gotta decide how to spend next weekend. Office is closed T-Day and Friday. Im taking the next Monday off so I can go to @novarlynx.bsky.social 's Zootopia 2 movie meet on Sunday and stay up late reading the TVTrope pages for it.

The house has been filled with a fowl smell the last week or so. @benny-g.bsky.social has been cooking (baking? roasting?) turkeys as practice for Thanksgiving with his family. I'm not sure why. Deep-frying is a thing and our backyard is large enough for an acceptable blast radius.

I dug out an old LLBean backpack I had stored in a tote, thought it would be useful for carrying my headdress, tails, other furry cosplay. Hadn't used it years and discovered the waxy waterproof lining had been flaking off.

Today is Wolfenoot — a night to honor wolves, dogs, and the bond we share with the wild. We honor loyalty. We thank the companions who walk beside us. Happy Wolfenoot. 🌕🐺 #Wolfenoot

Got an email that #Nextdoor is changing their ToS to include an arbitration-only requirement with no opt-out. As I've said before, if a company refuses to allow users/customers to dispute with class action it means they intend to engage in illegal/unethical activities.

And the @furcationland.org logo over Canada, as seen from SPACE!

The @furcationland.org logo includes a silhouette of Maine. I wondered how much of the Canadian Maritime provinces would be covered by the toe beans. As it is, the span touches the Lake Manicouagan crater.

Heard about the hate crimes committed against the attendees at GoldenHorn furry con (@goldenhorn.si ) All my love to you guys, hope you can make it through the rest of the weekend. Remember that assholes and bigots can be fought. We are a strong community and will endure.

Regarding the fluid situation at the GoldenHorn furry convention, involving non-furs (assault, theft, and tear gas/fire extinguisher attacks on rooms), the Wikifur article will not be updated until the situation is stabilized by local law enforcement personnel and all attending furs are safe.

Hey! Former Starbucks worker here (still have scars from 2nd degree burns), please don't cross this picket line. Starbucks is a chronic union-buster. There are so many wonderful local coffee shops to support instead. Make your support for Union Starbucks stores known until *& then after* a strike! 🖤

LEGO posted this cute video for the launch of their first official #StarTrek set today #LEGO

Got out my plush last night for a count and group photo. Got 56 soft friends. I don't say "animal" cause...one is an alien head SwiftBlaze gave me, and another is a S'mores @mikovedmochka.bsky.social gave me at #FCL 2024.

Im a Pagan Brony and I voted today. Did you vote? Go Vote ASSHOLES! Protect Democracy and protect your rights against Rapepublicans. No election is too small. Vote out the fasicsts!

Reminder for those in the U.S., there are elections tomorrow, Tue 4th. Go out and vote. Vote in politicians who will represent and support you. Vote out the rapists, pedophiles, Trump-ass kissers and criminals. Vote Democrat and get the Republican parasites out of office.

Louder for those in the back of the room.

stingrays active in the DMV area. make sure your turn off mobile data while outside unless absolutely necessary and leave your phones at home during protests (or at minimum, turn mobile data off & airplane mode on)

First day back to work after my vacation and I remembered my computer password without needing to look it up. The downside is now I have to sort through the emails, DMs and other crises people left for me in my absence.

Just saw a very cool piece of art shared in a Discord server, and I wanted to share it too, but the link was to Twitter. So I found the same artist in bsky, and they haven't shared the piece here, so I ain't sharing that art after all. Artists: do better.

Psst Did you just march in the fursuit parade at Furpoc? Feeling a lil....stimky? Come see us at W9 in the Artist Alley and get something to freshen up with!

Saw an episode of Caped Crusader where Bruce punched a reporter for pointing out that walking down a dark alley while openly wearing pearls wasn't a good idea. Guy had a point. In most adaptations the Waynes weren't that smart.

Am I missing something? I swear I've never seen the news mention a gathering of famous or wealthy people and give a detailed list of what jewelry they plan to wear. Am I just not watching the right news outlets? Does the FT report on this? I ask cause it seems to happen in comics all the damn time

Happy Halloween all! 🐺 Awoo!

Bad news children of America. George Washington has risen from the grave and is claiming that as Father of our Country, he's entitled to a Dad Tax of your trick or treat hauls, and he's coming to your house next.

I need to stop by the store and pick up some Bactine for the bad burn @benny-g.bsky.social just gave me. Ben: Does the skeleton have a name? Me: RunningDed. Ben tilts his head and gives me *that look* Me: @nishabluefloof.bsky.social came up with it. Be: I know. (slight pause) It was funny.

I know this person. They have a vendor table selling items of interest to a limited customer base. In other words, a "niche" market. FYI, @nishabluefloof.bsky.social I will be using that joke a lot to refer to the FCL Con Store. :-)

The ghost costume is simply adorable

"I'm happy to play the first werewolf character on Star Trek, but I have a suspicion I won't be called back to film a second episode."

District Manager Werewolf wants you to drink Moxie

District Manager Werewolf is waiting for the Assistant Manager Werewolf to show up so they can start the inspection. He has a Grand Opening in Rumford to oversee this afternoon.

I previously posted a picture of myself I called "Assistant Manager of a Sears Werewolf." I present you, "District Manager Werewolf." Bit paunchy for a werewolf, I know. It's hard to chase deer when you have quarterly reports due by Friday.

Just got back from the restaurant and took a photo of @nishabluefloof.bsky.social #Furpoc25

Huh. So BlueSky moderation decided to flag my account as spam. They event sent a form letter. What they failed to do was explicitly say what activities promoted this, or which spammy behavior on the list prompted it. Annoyed as shit, partly cause I get they're using some useless AI for moderation

I wanted something to wear with my wolf headdress to give a look of something other than "assistant manager werewolf." Something feral or vikingy. And found a cool viking warrior costume at Spirit Halloween that was reasonably priced and available in 2X (though maybe I should have waited for 3X)

I went to my doctor for a dog bite and asked him why they changed these pointers to gray, white, gray, gray, gray, black, gray and gray. He looked thoughtful then told me to avoid chocolate, grapes and onions for a while.

This is not a photoshop. Someone at Nabisco decided it was a good idea to dip crackers in chocolate. I don't know if that's horrible...or genius.

I remember someone describing dystopian fiction as “what if things that routinely happen to the poor and the marginalized started happening to the rest of us?”

If someone says they are refusing, or unwilling to vote, even in the smaller elections, I'm going to openly call them a fucking moron, and part of the problem. You may like living in a fascist regime, but you don't get to inflict that on the rest of us. VOTE. FOR FUCK'S SAKE. VOTE

Change one letter, ruin a candy. Lemonherds

In less than an hour I clock out and will be on vacation for a week. Mostly a staycation, with trips for hiking and visiting stuff. And going to Boston on Sunday to browse books and pig out.

Hey @aldin.bsky.social According to Batman: Caped Crusader, Gotham City is located in Maine. 😸 #Batman #Moxie

Today is International Wombat Day! Everyone should be reading @tkingfisher.com 's classic wombat adventure series, diggercomic.com
