Holy shit. Australia will be playing the US at Lumen Field in Seattle at next year’s FIFA World Cup. I’m excited!!!

I’m so tired of six of seven days a week feeling mentally burdened by an existential threat to my existence. Always inadequate, never good enough. I have no space to be free, to be happy among friends, to feel in control of important aspects of my life. Who am I in all of this? What’s my story?

You know I’m exhausted from working three straight weekends when I present my deliverable today, get off early, cook dinner and pass out dead asleep for two hours… at 6pm in the evening. Oof!

It’s 9pm and I’m so tired and over today that I’m seriously considering bed while there’s still light out.

In Atlanta between Sunday and Tuesday. Hit me up if you’d like to hang out one evening for a drink or food!

I tried to do a sportsball on VR. The only slice I perfected was to my wrist.

I’ll be at FWA *late as hell* tomorrow night. Work kept me back :(

On my way to LVFC! Hope to see some folks there <3

America - you voted on this. Goodbye to your 401ks, to the few social benefits you had, to having nice jobs, to leading affordable lifestyles, to having basic human rights, to becoming less educated. They want you sewing tennis shoes. This is how the oligarchy reinforces its power.

I’m like, ready for a big fat guy to flop into this hotel bed with me and do bad things together ;)

Recently I’ve been feeling somewhat invisible living in Seattle. People recognize me and say hi, but don’t invest time to know me. Moving to another city much later in life has definitely been harder to break into well established groups, and then there’s the generation gap in furry too.

It’s making me ill how quickly companies are trying to erase any version of diversity and equity being part of team discourse, and disbanding key learning programs. One can’t be inclusive without respecting the other two parts.

It’s my balloon 🎈 day today. Going to have a low key evening, and enjoy a steak dinner and hot tub.

On a more positive note, have some random pictures from Shinjuku and Harajuku!

Also, one of the biggest plays with announcing tariffs and creating the impression of a trade war, leverage aside, is he can temporarily tank markets to let his hedge fund friends “buy low” and make big $$$s

So Netanyahu bombs the living shit out of Gaza, dines with Trump during the election, and then comes back for Trump to announce that he wants the US to possess Gaza, on the basis that it’s not habitable anymore? And that the inhabitants should be relocated? This whole story arc is extremely suspect.

We visited the Pokémon Cafe in Tokyo. They even had someone in a Pikachu costume come out and do a performance for patrons. It was so cute!

We hit up every Pokémon Center in Tokyo. I’m such a dweeb :3

Despite having a great time in Japan, I’ve come back with severe contact dermatitis from something I ate or drank there. It’s making life hard when work is also pretty crazy atm.

I’ve woken up with big tummies on the brain. There is likely no remedy for this affliction. Send tummies please, preferably to my bed so I can offer rubs <3

Thanks for the memories, JMoF! So many cute fursuits, really fun events, and a welcoming crowd. Wish I was able to get into full suit, but being 10 minutes out from the main hotel made it difficult. Until next time - さよなら!

Travelling to a completely foreign country apparently is one of the easiest ways to blue ball yourself. I’m betting I don’t get off this entire trip lol

Oh no, I seem to have got myself a case of the jetlags and woke up at 4am. Now to “force” myself to sleep for the next three or so hours.

On my way to Japan for the first time. I’m going to eat all the food, and say hi to all the fuzzies at @JMoF_en. Come give this big ole’ Aussie horse/taz a hug if you see him out and about! #JMoF2025

I hate that my anxiety levels are so high just because I’m going on vacation for two weeks. I really hate this feeling. I feel unprepared.

Been sleeping poorly this week feeling anxiety over my Japan trip. I have so much to do before leaving. Adulting is tough sometimes :S

I have fat men and fursuiters on the brain. Guess work will be distracting today!

On my way to MFF! See all you fuzzies soon.

Wow Arcane was really something else. Awesome storyline and character development, visual artistry, and soundtrack. I’m sad it’s all wrapped up!

#jmof2024 and #mff2024 will be my next cons. Who will this horse see there? :3

It’s that time of year again where I feel permanently sleepy and my skin becomes translucent through lack of sunlight. Thanks PNW weather.

As a side note, it’s so nice to come on here and not be blasted with right wing rhetoric, useless ads, and to be able to see what your friends are doing. It’s a breath of fresh air.

I’m having a serious case of the Mondays. Now we’re planning this trip to Japan in January, my only thoughts consist of a deep desire for a proper vacation.
