I am once again considering getting latex and rubber gear.

my paws HURT

Sometimes I want to escape the U.S. but I'm not sure I could ever leave the Denver furries. I love them too much

god dayum the germans can make some good beer

AWS merc'd a meeting today yay

I cannot WAIT to go to Europe again, yay

These leaves aren't helping me be a stealthy fox! 📷 @thefoxhole.co #FursuitFriday

Wow. Not proud at all to say this, but after doing an audit of my monthly expenses, I eliminated nearly $600 in money just... going out for no virtually no reason, every single month. I will be budgeting moving forward.

Fuck insurance in Colorado

Enjoying the beautiful fall colors at an alpine lake in Colorado on this #fursuitfriday What do you think of the view? Any other animals in heat out here? 😏 📸 @etchyeen.bsky.social

Rainy all day gives happy 💦

After a long break I have once again commissioned yiff.

Upped my anti-anxiety prescription today. The benefits have been too great to ignore.

Reskeet with your photos of fursuiting in the mountains! The first of many #fursuit pics taken on Sunday. :3 📸: @fleofynx.bsky.social 🪡: @madefuryou.com

That is a PROPER "Etchy NOOOOO" moment. I installed a CPU onto a motherboard upside down.

Next network thing done: now all my public-facing media webservers are on a separate DMZ VLAN, which means nothing should be able to touch my internal network. This was probably a pretty serious issue for a while considering how much my domain receives random traffic from around the world.

couldn't have asked for hotter furs for my first time bottoming again in a minute

It's pretty cool that for once, I don't feel any pre-travel or pre-con anxiety the night before heading out.

Tall fox invading Megaplex starting tomorrow, come say hi!

So much work to do. Upgrade to 8g down / 8g up as well. 🥵

Shit sucks that a bunch of friends I know in Europe and beyond won't travel to the US because of the awful situation here. It's the right call to be careful, I just hate the circumstances.

I need it

Slammed the past week or so but the good news is that I've been accepted (previously just nominated) for a CTA program with ServiceNow. Gonna be a few months of training before moving forward with a new role. Probably slammed for the next few weeks too.

I can definitely get behind #NationalUnderwearDay... or at least my yeen can!

Officially nominated for a ServiceNow CTA program today, which confirmed this. Shook

UGH Just gonna have to accept that resetting my sleep schedule is gonna cost one ruined day...

Probably one of my more difficult technical challenges was getting this monster setup - 8 hours later, it's ALIVE (fully independent game server management on my Unraid)

My voice is properly gone for the first time in a couple years. I think I did something right...

I'm a lot closer than I thought I was to breaching a career barrier (management), which just requires a couple more certifications and maybe another year of experience. Hopefully is something I actually want to do rather than just development all the time.

Separating accounts. Probably the only time I'll post this. etchyeenad.bsky.social

A stupid security mistake made me finally go through the process of having 100% unique, randomly generated passwords on all my accounts. Phishing attacks against me have started to get really sophisticated...

People stopped in the middle of intersections, failure to maintain lane, going 20 under / over... get your shit together, Denver, good god.

I haven't had a reaction like that to IV pain medication since I went under for my wisdom teeth infection. Had really bad abdomen pain, figured it was a kidney stone (it was), and that near instant reduction made me break out in tears.

Made chicken tikka masala for household :3

found a "super fruit" tea and I am LIVING with this

I want my goddamn sleep

FWA was a blast! I had a great time seeing friends and being an animal again. It was also the kick in the butt I needed to finally start taking seriously some of my anxiety and stress-management issues. I'm not sure how long I'll be 'training', but day 0 already feels a lot better! 😮‍💨

Didn't expect a promotion to Solution Architect while a half-yard deep at Yardhouse to happen during FWA, but here we are.

Con time

FINALLY starting to get some FWA jitters. Yay :3

FWA-bound, Wednesday to Monday. Catch me around! 📸 by @jekkies.bsky.social at FC '24, I think??

WOW! What a genuinely amazing weekend with an amazing group of people, in an incredibly beautiful area! Thanks so much to everyone who made this happen ❤️

It would be fun to learn how to bartend and make good drinks for people

Nothing to see here, just 2 very gay canines holding hands in public 😇 #FursuitFriday 🐺💚 @varro.bsky.social 🧵 @zuristudios.bsky.social 📸 @skygejager.bsky.social
