It's #FursuitFriday so have a me attempting to go rar at the camera.

If you use generative AI at any point in the creation process, you are not legitimate. Admit to yourself that you are not skilled enough to create what you want to and focus on improving. Shortcuts not only cheat everyone else but they cheat you out of growth.

Acquired a new object.

Say hello to the moisture vaporator. And say goodbye. This is the fifth one of these I have seen in my lifetime, and every one of them has quietly vanished because they solve the fake scarecity that capitalism runs on.

It was great to see him out and about! Sorry not to have chatted with you. Have this cursed potato-quality photo where he looks somewhat menacing, @arcofox.bsky.social is chilling out and @draks.bsky.social is looking the happiest I've ever seen him! Probably because everyone is very far away.

Despite the heat, I went outside and did some chores. Now I have tools to chop down unwanted things, and clean machines. I am doing an adult, I am winning at today.

"Power I stole from a fucking star" is a hell of a great way to think about solar energy.

We are putting together an all day party to celebrate 20 years of York furmeets on October 31st! General attendance tickets will be £10, with options of beds and rooms on site that can also be purchased via the reg page at additional cost. Tickets are available at party.yorkfurs.co.uk!

Wow, this is peak bird intelligence. These birds saw someone feeding a wounded bird, so they started pretending they were also injured.

Never getting fast food again. A burger, fries, and drink for £15. I could get a good full, healthy meal from a pub for that price.

With @arcofox.bsky.social at Middleham Castle today. Beautiful place, well preserved and some fine history to boot

This is an old post,wonignore the more info coming soon. The more infonis here. Follow the website link for all details and to book your tickets.

To celebrate 20 years of Yorkfurs meets, we're throwing a party! This will be happening on October 31st at the YHA in York. Partied too hard? We will also be offering bed and breakfast! Thanks to @doncasterfurs.bsky.social for the Web support - more info coming soon! party.yorkfurs.co.uk

No one rushes faster to claim they did the work than cheaters who did zero work and are defensive about it. No one who knows how to write a book is insulted by those who don’t respect AI users. Only those who have no skill and know that they cheated get insulted. How telling.

Recovery scare today so ended up in hospital for a checkup. All good, apparently operation wounds like to have a delayed bleed, it shows that the swelling is reducing and the wounds are working on cleaning themselves out, or something along those lines. Anyway, still alive.

Party, party, party!

Hello everyone, did you enjoy the meet today? Would you like to maybe come to our 20th anniversary party on 31st October at YHA York? Good news, tickets are NOW AVAILABLE at party.yorkfurs.co.uk, including general attendance AND overnight beds!

Finished!

As part of jumping on the main character bandwagon the fandom seems intent on pursuing, I will now be posting amazing news about life altering events XD

Recovering from surgery is painful. Really nasty that the spikes of pain are not blocked by the painkillers. But got through my first night, despite people fighting outside, others on the ward snoring and permanently coughing, and the nurses coming in every couple of hours to test blood pressure.

Obligatory post surgery selfie to prove I live.

Well, today is a day that marks a journey to a loss of pain. Got surgery in the morning tomorrow that will hopefully stop me from being in pain every couple of hours.

It's been brought to my attention some people haven't seen this www.youtube.com/watch?v=QsLN...

Dug out some tiny Skaven from storage and painted them up for battle. Warmaster is an interesting and fast paced game of massive battles. Want to recreate Total War: Warhammer on the tabletop? This is the way to do it. 1000 points of Skaven are pictured.

Haven't posted progress in a while. Here is @messigryphon.bsky.social's fursuit head. A cooling fan installed in the upper beak. A couple more fine details to add before it is complete, but very nearly there.

Went for a walk around Fewston Reservoir today. Really nice weather for it.

Thank you to everyone who came along to the York meet today, despite the wind! If you enjoyed it, please consider donating at ko-fi.com/YorkFurs

Finally finished painting my Void Dragon. I got it from the translocation shroud Overlord batalion box ages ago and it has been sat half painted for over a year. Really like how the orange energies of Mephrit flow around the model.

We're back tomorrow from 12pm - 5pm @sparkyorkcic.bsky.social as ever! We have both spaces so there's plenty of room, and weather permitting we will have a fursuit walk! Donate to help keep the meet free at ko-fi.com/YorkFurs

A few photos from the walking route near Byland Abbey, with @arcofox.bsky.social I usually post photos of my wanderings here: t.me/drakswanderi... Plenty of lovely scenery, old buildings, ruins and lore. If that sounds interesting come check it out sometime!

Lol, I needed to see this today 😁

whoops

I don't want to read a book written by AI. I don't want to read a book half written by AI. I don't want to read a book narrated by AI. I don't want to read a book with an AI cover. I don't want to read a book written by somebody who supports AI.

For those that follow me on here and come to York Furs, I shall be hosting Warhammer 40k intro games with Combat Patrol at the furmeet tomorrow. If you want to learn what the game is about, then please come along and watch/ participate.

Stargates must be operated by an AI or something like the doors in Star Trek. They stay open only for as long as they need to for those wanting to travel through, and will stay open for ages waiting for people to finish a conversation before they go through.

Watched Kung Fu Panda 4 yesterday. A nice film by itself but so many supporting character backstory changes from the previous films made it feel as though the writers had only read a brief synopsys of the previous films

Americas independence was founded on the idea of no taxation without representation. Now it needs to swing the other way, as the super rich have a lot of governmental influence Americans need to start chanting "no representation without taxation"

I saw people complaining about Firefox adding AI stuff, but what they didn't say, was that you can very simply turn it all off in the AI controls page of the settings menu. No other browser lets you do that. Maybe they want you to turn it off so they can tell their investors to go do one.

Need new speakers. The current ones are many years old and their bass cone seems to be dying as it now comes through overpowering and crackly.

Someone send me monies, I want to buy more warhammers. (Don't actually send me monies)

Without furries you wouldn't have this gem though:

Made a video with added sound because somone made a comment after seeing it. Video by Millie Floof, (their @ will come when I have it), audio edit by me.

Finished painting up this bad boy (Aeldari Wraithlord) today after it was MVP of my last game. Originally built and added base coats of paint way back in 2006. 20 years later, I finally finish the details.

Share a bird picture you took. The three best from a series seeing a Buzzard up close. Wierdly the camera makes it seem further away, was only about 30 feet (10 metres)
