I didn't deserve what 2025 threw at me. Layoffs, death, illness, family, friends, and humanity letting me down left, right and centre. It's left me reeling, trying to process stuff, but onwards, upwards, and I'm grateful for the handful of folk who genuinely care and keep me going. …thank you. 💜

Mack's 2026 NYE Resolutions: 🧍‍♂️ Hit weight of 75kg 💼 Rebuild - startup, therapy, savings pot 🐝 Move to Manchester (…serious.) 🖤 M2M catsuit/more kink gear & getting out there more 🎸 Restart one hobby in my spare time (music prod, cooking, game dev) ✈️ See my UK, EU and US friends more 🌱 …grow again.

2025's been the worst year of my life. It's felt like I haven't breathed, and now that things are quiet, all of it has hit and broken me in ways I’m still trying to piece together. But I’m still here. Still breathing, still standing. And maybe, 2026 is where things turn around. Happy New Year. ✨

cw nsfw latex/rubber, bondage, gags sorry, the mutt is unable to come to the phone at the moment, so please leave a message right after the MMMMMMMPF

and in no ~particular~ order (for anybody who cares), here's Mack's favourite albums of 2025 quite a good year for music to be honest - highlights for me (top row) have been: - skrillex's return to form - jim legxacy's new album - bon iver's 'happy' album - cmat's 3rd LP - let god sort 'em out

how the fuck a pack of malteasers £3 and £1.85 on clubcard i was buying 2 for £1 back in poundland ten years ago - and as christmas gifts for my high school teachers lmfao

I don’t know if it’s a sign of me getting old - or if I’m just very dog coded - but I genuinely get excited when I receive mail and packages, even emails. And it sucks when I don’t get any. :(

Sharing some more music and bits - here's one of my favourite songs over the last few years. Mk.gee is a fucking wizard at the guitar. To echo one comment, it's like if Peter Gabriel, The Police and Prince had a baby. Many recorded versions, but this is by far my favourite. Enjoy. c:

hello, elliot (this song still fucking blows my little mind away. i still think it’s one of the best songs ever written. play this at my funeral tbh.)

early Christmas present to me - i was gonna hold off till i got my first client, but after a bit of a nightmare year, i feel i deserve it. now to just buy the games and everything else… ꩜_꩜

not the best animated film, and certainly not the best Don Bluth film (critically, that goes to Land Beyond Time) …but by far my favourite animated film of all time

okay I know it’s stupid but - why the hell does everything gotta have a wrapped/year in review? even my fucking credit score reporting app just said ‘Mack, take a look at your year in review…’

So I’ve been out of the PC game for a while but serious question - is 128GB of DDR5 overkill? I have 128GB of CL30 sitting in my rig (@ 4200Mhz, no EXPO/XMP) and I’m thinking of maybe losing two sticks, OC’ing and buying a Switch 2 with it. But I also don’t want to regret losing it… thoughts?

if you're looking for puppy bf energy, hi >:3 📷 @pinsel.bsky.social

new iñárritu film chivo/lubeski on DP dinelaris jr. (who wrote birdman/revenant) jesse plemons (one of my fave actors) sophie wilde (from talk to me) riz ahmed (the legend) tom cruise (eh) shot on 35 vista and fmt’ed for IMAX AND THE SONG IS O GREEN WORLD sometimes there’s things worth living for

cw latex, pup hoods, nsfw A side that I haven’t shown publicly, but thought I’d share (finally). I like being a rubber dog sometimes! I’m not a pup. But I just love being transformed, the aesthetics, making outfits… it’s too much fun. Hoping to have some outlets in 2026 to wear em more often. >:3

cw personal vent, alc abuse Being on the serving side of alcohol now, after having my own very bad relationship with it, has really shifted my perspective on it. Watching how people get after a few drinks just makes excess feel pointless. I’d rather enjoy and appreciate it than lose myself to it.

in honor of The Game Awards tonight, and also because of how fucking predictable games are now, here's a great clip from when me and my friend from high school watched summer games fest and me wheezing like a turbocharger

Made it to 27 today. 🎉 Didn't think I would make it, and that's not me exaggerating. But… here we are. 2025 and what it's thrown at me feels heavy on reflection, but it also feels like a chance to regrow - a turning point, finally. …thanks for not giving up on me, folks. And to my friends, too. x

so i grew up around kitchens, always tried to tip well, be kind and patient. but after 6 straight days of drunk obnoxious customers, scrubbing kitchens… i don’t think i’ll ever see hospitality the same again. it’s fucking brutal, and i have nothing but respect to folks who do this daily.

british TV, folk

I fell asleep in *all* of my AP History classes, in which we covered the Gilded Age. But the more I think about it, are we going through the same right now? - Robber Barons > Tech/Finance Titans - Tenant Farmers & Company Towns > Gig Economy, Subscriptions - Railroads & Steel > AI/Semiconductors

honest to god this song still makes me cry my fucking eyes out. probably my fave Christmas song of all time, but alas, very, very emotional youtu.be/uMH_wMvMy_8

had my ‘oh fuck’ moment today when I only just realised that Jason Bateman (of Zootopia fame) is also the bloke who plays Marty in Ozark. …I really am that fucking thick.

cw tag NSFW; latex/rubber honestly there’s something about latex/rubber that hits me in a way i can’t explain… it messes with my puppy brain in the best way. the squeeze, the shine, how it presses in and doesn’t let go… but it makes me feel confident and dangerously worked up all at once, rrrrf ✨🖤

First year I'm not doing MFF or my usual US birthday trip. No birthday plans either - having to work my bar job constantly, everyone furry is @ LFWP or has plans throughout that period, non-furry friends got plans too. Pretty upset about it, tbh. I know I'm not entitled to it, but it really hurts.

every time i go past stoke-on-trent on the train this always plays in my head rent free

oh, you can’t keep a good dog down

happy friday - here are some of the street cats that i had the pleasure of meeting and befriending in cyprus. not the most knowledgeable, but i advocate anybody into animal welfare to look at the story, & work that the incredible NGO’s/community-feeding networks do for these animals/the island. 🐈

vulpes vino (and at 8.40€ too, what a steal)

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.
