Ai users: You can’t write. You can’t draw. You are pretenders. You’re fooling nobody. Sure, there are friends who like pretty pictures from “anywhere” for their “wall”. The problem on social media: they REPUBLISH those pics made from a mash of stolen artists’ work. That’s not cool.

When you give your factual aviation history talk on a Facebook Group and realise your planesona will be the first thing they see. 😎 Well? You can have two or more hobbies, you know! 🤪

A beautiful and unique suit.

Support quality businesses that do the right thing! 👍

Bluesky has reached 20million, which is fantastic. Now just have to get the formula for everyone to Play and Behave Nicely.

Here’s Syd, still under renovation, made by Scales and Stitches (Aus). Syd is a very cuddly hippocampus. Just loved the colour combination and having fun practicing fursuit parts construction.

Oh hooray!!!

Actually I kept the X account but totally emptied it as unfortunately an Event still uses it for important event notifications. Other than that, there is nothing for anyone or robot to scrape.

Ahhhhh. X-free! My last look at the site shows a pile of celebrities throwing insults at each other. Really over that.

I’ve made a few purchases of head bases, I’m looking forward to expanding the wardrobe. I just love this hobby.

bsky.app/profile/unic... Love this one, seen them in person. Gave me loads of inspiration.

Nice casual pic of Normie Nomad, Luka and Pounamu during our fast and furious visit to Brisbane last week.

At the physio gym this morning, keeping mobile and terrific. Beaut Spring day here to walk home afterwards.

Blue Sky is MUCH nicer than the other platform hijacked by the “self entitled” Dr Evil behave-alike.

G’day, I’m up in Brissy with Lord Darius Foxworth and hope to attend South Bank Fur Meet. Staying one day only due to family commitments.

Big things happening this year, Charlene, Amelia and Stardust’s turn to have fun in the sun. Normie is under major renovation and reinvention. Fern and Yeah Nahh are to be completed. Due for a run: Fru Fru and Wonnie! Good to have a few while others are drying or being renovated. Shares the wear!

Still here, just dropping in occasionally. Just watching the ebb and flow of life.

Wishing all my friends a Merry Christmas and a day of Fun, Goodness and Light. ✈️ Cheers! 🎅🏻🔷⭐️🟢🔷⭐️🟢

So the first 200,000 were friends of friends on here. It really was great. However, it appears evident that “the rest” are arriving. Humans really ruin everything, don’t they.

I don’t buy art or costumes from overseas anymore due to the unacceptable high scam rates. And Customs duty is expensive. Risk of packages going “walkies” is worse than ever. As for art, I can’t tell what’s traced, copied or cheaty AI assisted in digital art anymore. Sad world, these days.

Bluesky, an experiment that worked well for a while via invite concept. Now we have the unhealthy and bots infiltrating who are not here to be friendly. Hoping Bluesky reads up on the True Nature of Human Beings and makes changes to allow everyone to choose who sees their content.

Had to laugh, friend called the SFW check as the “Anti Scrawny Prawn Porn” filter. 🤣

Started okay on this platform, but keep getting total strangers trying to add me. I’ll follow friends, artists, and convention going colleagues. I removed those who seem to be trying to rack up 10,000+ followers. I really don’t understand that. Looking forward to more privacy settings.

Don’t mind the rain. It cleans off the bugs. Not a lot of people venture about and plane spot on a rainy day. And they stay well away. Bliss.

Normandy getting his instructions from the “tower”. At this festival Normie was dressed as a Morris Dancer!

How cute is this? ❤️🎠

My dearest beloved Boris. Has a particular fondness of an Aussie Turbine aircraft….❤️

Love seeing the work of other great artists in their sketch books. ❤️

Love the sweet look of these eyes.

I think what a couple of friends are doing is a great idea. Anyone except Furry List trying to follow over 5000 accounts is either an “account collector” or a spambot. I just blocked one that follows nearly 20,000 but posts nothing, just reposts others’ content! Check your follower list regularly.

I miss flying…. I don’t miss landings. But, thankfully, I do miss the fences.

Wishing everyone a safe and fun evening, if that’s your groove. For the first time in a couple of years looks like it won’t be pelting rain. Or could it? Fickle weather here in Sydney at the moment.

Just a reminder if you don’t use the adult content warning on your spicy art or pics and I haven’t met you, you will be blocked. If I have met you, I’ll see you later in the HR office at the next meet. 🤣 Nah seriously. Do the right thing.

Went out for fabric for a suit refurb project….. End up coming home with a load of Christmas Stuff. And Stuff. And more stuff. And….had fun today!

Don’t feel like posting any more pics until the content control is tightened up here. Earlier, had some aviation feed take my RC Nomad and Normie pic. Why? Feck knows. I deleted my pic off Bluesky altogether and blocked them. Stupid, that wasn’t posted to be stolen for a feed I’m not a member of.

Nah, starting to get the creeps on this platform. My pics are being shared all over the place. Fine with friends, not happy with random strangers Don’t think this platform is quite for me yet until some more account control is offered, thank goodness I didn’t share any pics of my art. 😕

Always love seeing Reyna. Just a great suit and the photography is lovely.

Some Sydney and surrounds friends had a great day out today.

Nobody likes rules, I’d prefer people to be simply aware and courteous but not all are, as I’ve noticed. This is a great start.

Goes without saying, but also love the art!

Hoping the weather clears up a bit so friends can enjoy a day at the fursuit meets this weekend in Sydney. We won’t be attending this time, we’ve been going hard this year and have another event on next weekend.

Strangers with excessive adult content who add me will be blocked. I have friends who post adult things sometimes but I know the context of their posts. I have the Hides on so I won’t see it anyway but the random followers are like creeps flashing their trench coats. Total weirdos.

Gee this is cute. 🐾

A Nomad N22, have broad shoulders, and a big heart. And don’t pretend to be anything else but a practical little utility aircraft on terrain others fear to land. They have a very unique wing designed for short airstrip operations. Or a paddock. We don’t mind.

The wonderful thing about Social Media is anyone can use it. The worst thing about Social media is…..anyone can use it.
