Genuinely… this was the last thing I had to hold onto and look forward to after the worst year of my life and I can’t even have this. Laid off, grieving losing my family and a friend, other really horrible stuff… I’m starting to lose my patience here. Like… I go one step forward and 100 back.

Went to the homeland to sort my EU citizenship out. Did all the forms correctly, spent months getting all the documentation together, went to court and signed them off and was *almost* there and then bam - what was a 1.5 hour process is now *15 months* because they changed it with no communication.

started work in a bar to get back on my feet after the layoff, a few close bereavements and lots of bad stuff in between. i guess it’s nice working on something in my interest field, but honestly? whilst it’s a very customer-first and *social* job, i don’t think I’ve ever felt more alone in my life

dunno what i did to deserve this year but I really can’t catch a break, hah. one thing after another. fuck my life. what else now. anyway just a note to all - please bare with me and please be patient, got too much going on and just really struggling at the moment mentally and physically. thanks. x

some positive mack news for once - down 3.7kg / 8.2lbs in just over 6 weeks, which is the first time i’m 88.4kg - under 90kg/200lbs in 8 years! stupidly pleased. just big walks around london and skipping the soda, meal deals and stress eating/junk food. lots more progress to go but… good feeling 🐾

cw nsfw quote tweet Got this from Junkie a while back and absolutely love it! The rendering, the colours, how well they brought my idea to life. And hey, why not take a shiny mutt home? >:3 Super lovely and super professional artist I can defo vouch for. Check em out! @junkieboi.bsky.social! ❤️

Decided to apply for a part-time job whilst I try and get back on my feet. Human written CV, formal but fun cover letter, and for a business that I’m truly passionate about. Straight denied not even within the hour I submitted the app, and the most bullshit AI reply rejex. Fuck this job market. :/

It’s not my favourite ever song, but I do still believe that Strawberry Fields Forever by The Beatles is probably one of the best songs ever written. That, or Like A Rolling Stone by Bob Dylan, or Heroes by David Bowie. Or The Only Living Boy In New York by Simon and Garfunk… Yeah, too many songs.

Mack spent an entire day learning Docker, Linux Admin and building a very complex media server to run Plex and Debrid. After building a working solution, Mack then realised that he could've just used a seedbox and been done with it. Mack is a very silly doggie.

today on mack's impulsive thoughts: is strawbee milk better than choccy milk? or are they just both equally as good

Sleepy, comfy dog... 🐶💤 AMAZING character page by @waywardmutt.art! Thank you so much again ;;

cw vent. i’m just so tired man. just felt like i haven’t had a chance to even breathe in the last 3 months with everything going on with life, family, work, fandom. appreciative of my friends and the US OG’s (you know who you are) but even then i’ve just felt like a right fuck up and out of sorts.

All set up in the Anthrocon Dealers Den! Busy busy! Running low on some shirt sizes and dakis 🙈 Tables S11/T11! #Anthrocon2025

well, it's ironic to have been laid off / get made redundant as of friday the 13th out of all days, but onwards and upwards i suppose gonna take some time to reset - see a therapist again, hit the gym, work on some pet projects, and spend time with family who rly need me rn the mutt shall return

life sort of just feels like pure comedy right now to be honest.

new pendulum is fucking crazy. that cut snare on the last four is throwing me off, but insane production and those vocals, holy shit ...almost thought it was celldweller for a second but no, rob squire does it again and i am living for it youtu.be/3CPGtI7SpEU

hope those going to confuzzled have a good time - stay hydrated, stay safe, and don't pay for the hotel food bc fuck hilton 🙌

ngl man i’d just like a hug and some company rn fr

just returned from the USA after a few weeks. skipped out on FWA to enjoy quality time with friends, furry/non-furry, who are 'on my boat' and the folk i love. cons are fun, but i just want to be with my true friends now; that's what matters to me. now time to be post-furry and start a podcast lol

cheers

“Psst. You need a bath.” #FursuitFriday Featuring @mmack.bsky.social

If y'all can check below/signal boost - some news/a GFM. Riley is a dear friend and the passing of her mother (who I had the pleasure of meeting) has been a tremendous loss. If you're able to throw some cash and help an upstanding fandom artist in their time of need, I'd be eternally grateful. x

Got 5-10 mins to do a quick survey about your merch experiences in furry, and have the chance to enter a lil prize draw for a $25/£20 gift card? I'm currently working on a fandom-adjacent project and looking for folk to fill out a quick survey. If you're interested, give me a shout on DMs. Cheers!

work in progress s/o to Jude for their help on the retex and unity troubles, ha

I built an entirely custom, furry as fuck pinball machine. It was a nightmare project and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone, but I will slowly document some of the build here TierFest, because the animals want to get drunk too
