Next year I resolve to be the biggest, squeakiest balloon dragon you ever did see! :puff: :cera_happy: :sqrk:

I'm not 100% sure yet if I'm gonna drive back today or not. I wanna but the infection still has my driving leg stiffer than I'd like. Gonna test drive a little bit and see how I feel. But hey, if I stay, at least I can bake another cheesecake for my baker cousin who complimented it last time I […]

[Re: last boost on hobbies not becoming hustles] 100000% this! The most fun I have in baking is always making something that looks good, tastes amazing, and took far less effort than much fancier-looking things that taste nowhere near as good. Croquembouche is a show-stopper in looks, sure […]

Picked up Megabonk yesterday and A) how did I not look sooner at what it is and B) why is it so damn satisfying a gameplay loop. I'm still only in the Forest area but I can't figure out what I'm supposed to do after the boss portal, if anything besides "survive".

Debating figuring out making fish for LurkBait for Critter Cove so folks (or me) could offer it when streaming Critter Cove so folks can catch the relevant fish. That, or use Firebot for making a simple game for it instead ^^

what the fuck why am I only just listening to Rick Astley cover Pink Pony Club, and why is it absolutely spectacular? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2vF26QG9he4

Tired: installing a free Garmin ConnectIQ app to camera trigger only to find the companion app is $6 in the Play store. Inspired: use the free Tasker Trigger Garmin app to trigger a Tasker task that sends the Vol- key.

One of the most incredible shots I've ever gotten, in Yellowstone. This coyote walked over a ridge in the blowing snow and posed for me, with a small grin on its face, the snowfalkes like stars in the background. The desolation and beauty of life and nature is grounding, and so good for the soul.

According to Throne, there's an untapped market for Audio-Technica, Shure, and Beyer-Dynamic to slap RGB and +$200 on mics to sell to streamers. I spent $50 on my XLR mic (1 yr ago) and my interface is $150 new, and these no-name gamermic brands want $300. Lol. Lmao.

Made melomakarona, Greek Christmas cookies, yesterday to take to the family dinner -- gluten-free at that! Rather than top with honey I reduced the soaking syrup to honey consistency once at room temp and gently drizzled that over them. ^^ #baking #fedibakes #glutenfreebaking #glutenfree

i hope i look like this to u (by plushparade)

Art idea for next year: King Kay but actually Santa Kay and every "ho" in "ho ho ho" makes a big fwoomp happen x3 For the sake of smushing into folks~

More reasons to be rubber IRL: no sickies :< "Get a cold from a baby" checked off at last I guess.

Late night puff thoughts....

I just think Bradley is pretty neat

Wonderful gift art from @skurg3.bsky.social Thank you so much, buddy.

My mom asked me to bake cinnamon rolls for us for Christmas morning, gluten-free so my sister could partake. I'd never made them GF so a first, used GF bread flour. Texture isn't pillowy as I wanted but still good, and the flavor is perfect! #baking #glutenfreebaking

I love my icon so much now that I kinda wanna make it even mine at work but... I would definitely get at least _looks_ if I set my current PFP to my Teams icon at work. I already get folks saying "what a beautiful dog!" to it now. It's Scooter, the coyote. x3

Its kinda spooky out here, ngl.

Hope all you balloons have a wonderful Christmas, or just a wonderful day in general! :red_balloon_heart: :cera_happy: :red_balloon_heart:

First time working with King Arthur's gluten-free bread flour. I'm.... skeptical, but hopeful, given the resulting dough making cinnamon rolls with it is more what I expect from a cookie dough than a bread dough. Still, hopeful it'll do the thing.

I'm so stoked seeing @bigblueseagoon giving Ceralor new life with fun puffy new arts of him 🧡 And it's a delight seeing him around again like this! So wide and puffy and :sqrk: ~ https://blimps.xyz/@bigblueseagoon/115762311587123192

Oooh I just realized I can use vanJS and vanX to make reactive widgets easily for Firebot. Who needs React when I can make easily hydrated templates such I could make a new chat widget entirely in -firebot ^^

Ooh, WaffleGame added a new puzzle, Numble. It's like waffle, but numbers like sudoku, and you also have to satisfy the sum hints. Also significantly harder for me than waffle despite me playing lots of sudoku eheh. X3

Re: last boost My existence is inherently political as a gay man in a gay relationship, and that's just the surface, with family from a country the right shits on. My spaces are inherently political. I would rather provide safety for marginalized than cater to 'all'.

Oop, I think I'm still feeling the effects of heat expansion. It was a VERY hot summer! :puff: :cera_happy: :sqrk: Art by the wonderful @KitsuneKit ! :red_balloon_heart:

a VERY late #fursuitfriday but, in my defense, I got lost on the way cloaks are fun!

Also had to run back out, again, to get more smol boxes, the ones I'd bought were too big aaa. NOW I feel better with packing things to ship.

Goals are to awaken good nostalgia feelings for my sister by making focaccia she can actually eat. My mom's getting GF bread flour for me to make cinnamon rolls but I think the bread will be well worth it for her too.

I had the pleasure of drawing for Reggie this week ! He trusted me with his new badge for his next furcon and I'm really happy with the result ! He also loves it and I hope you guys will enjoy it just as much hehe ! Badge comm for @artfulreggie.bsky.social ! #fatfur

What was the VR compositor folks were recommending for using a Vive Pro on Linux? I tried SteamVR as the compositor and it was stutter-y in a surprising way.

[Gen AI mockery] The number of times I see things with system/fronting prompts being like "Tell only the truth. Do not lie" is like whispering to an old desktop "okay hard-drive you're going to not click at me today". Like if you need to say that it's already cooked.

You are not as quiet as you think you are. #macro #macrofurry #kaiju

Presenting my #kitchengladiators submission for the month of "laminated": cardamom brioche buns! These were a lot of fun, challenging because never done laminated but King Arthur's recipe made it easy to follow! Would definitely make these again! #baking #fedibakes

Bones are such bullshit, nerves going through holes in them can get squeezed and fucked up, shit should be illegal tbh

Some yotery. Another smol painting on wood. #coyote #traditionalart #furryart

Frustrating is 'pyenv install 3.14.2' failing because "libbz2.so.1.0" could not be found. Because it's not called that; it's called libbz2.so.1. localvocal won't load because "libicuuc.so.70" could not be found. It's called "libicuuc.so.77" instead. Was able to fix this via copying and […]

this dog is in the lab experimenting with some new potions! you'd let him test it out on you, right? 🥺 Wonderful sketch from @blurthefur.com!!

PSA: inflate your friends :corgi_fetch_pump:​ :sqrk:​

I get why folks can snooze easy by accident during cozy live streams. The right kind of voice works wonders to help fall asleep intentionally. Haven't found any Sleepcasts on Headspace that are quite as cozy-voiced as some folks I like watching regularly on streams x3
