Niece: "Uncle, they banned books at school." Me: "Let me see the list... Ah, I see what they did there; they don't like looking at themselves in the mirror." <Hands over personal collection of Orwell, Vonnegut, and Bradbury.> "Here, this'll get you started." I'd be terrible at raising mindslaves.

Age Verification: The melodious clicking from the 5 1/4" floppy drive led to the potential of dying from dysentery.

The Shin has formally decided that the "topper" ice creams offered by Ben & Jerry's are not bear-approved. The chocolate topping gets in the way of shoving all of the delicious ice cream directly into the maw. We all know that the entire pint is going to be consumed. Why put something in the way?

@thegremlinsquad.stream raised $2291.01 for @starlight.org, let's go! Every little bit DID help, and everyone coming together funded a new Starlight Nintendo Handheld for a children's hospital, amongst other things. Awesome job, everyone, truly. *big bear hug* www.twitch.tv/videos/25650...

Thanks so much to everyone who’s streams and donated so far!! ❤️🎉

Does anyone know of a movie where the protagonist is a gay male and simply has a relationship like it is natural? Like... it isn't political, doesn't end in tragedy, and isn't a social commentary? Just two gay men happy and in love? Looking for things to watch with my sweetheart and was curious.

Had a discussion tonight and I was able to put my foundational worldview into words - that all my values stem from. "Variation in life is what makes the universe beautiful. Anything that contributes to a 'normalcy bias' can only subtract from the beauty of life; it can never add to it."

"Pat, why do you carry that ridiculous 600mm lens on long hikes?" Buddy, I can see mountains reflected in the eyes of a trailside pika.

Remember, Tolkien didn't start working on "The Hobbit" until he was 41 years old. It started as tales for his children that took over 4 years to complete, and he finally published it at the age of 45. It is never too late to start working on something that truly calls to you. Embrace your passion.

I have returned from the camping! Tents, campfires, nature sounds, bathing in the river, eating good food, keeping good company, scribbling in a journal, and disconnecting from this ridiculous world to do bear things. A much needed reset to the brainsmeats. Photo by @persephonearethusa.bsky.social.

Hey sleuth, wanted to throw out a rally call to all the pet lovers out there! @mrbrogath.bsky.social and @annabelinda.bsky.social have a history of taking in rescues and providing shelter to the floofers in need. They hope to raise funds for the care of three new ones; Smoky, Tak, and Zim! [...]

All righty, who wants to see my beans!? Gonna whip them out and let them soak, yeh!

Life transition complete! Now that I am officially settling in to my new shift and routine, it is time to figure out how to do the things with all of ye! To get back into the stuff I enjoy; cooking adventures, collabs, and just being a silly little bear. The moments I get to take my human mask off.

A cute art to demonstrate what awaits if make @shin-bearamedic.bsky.social angy! It's not a great masterpiece but it's one that is always referenced! One of the first digital pieces I ever finished and the way it lives in my friends memories rent free makes me unbelievably happy!

Finished a ych + oc emote comm for @n1gh75h4de.bsky.social !! I currently have 2 slots available, which could go fast, and I'll take custom requests. Just hmu. 🎨 #furry #digitalart #pixelart #vtuber

"You cannot get educated by this self-propagating system in which people study to pass exams, and teach others to pass exams, but nobody knows anything. You learn something by doing it yourself, by asking questions, by thinking, and by experimenting." - Richard Feynman.

Don't let random nobodies tell you what is or isn't worth your time. If you wanna learn how to draw even though you aren't young- go for it. Who gives a shit if your hobby is metal detecting or crochet. Learn a talent, enjoy a hobby, and live YOUR life- not the life other's shame you into living!

The Robit stomps back into dead space!! www.twitch.tv/a_i_42 #gremlinsquad #horrorgame #vtuber

vgen.co/Raigmann THE SHOP IS OPEN!

This country scares me. "You are white, what are you worried about?" Did it ever occur to you that there are members of my tribe who aren't? Members of my tribe who are foreigners? That are immigrants, just like my parents? That are trans and are threatened by the prospect of 're-education'?

News for the sleuth; I've been lurking due to an approaching life transition. I will be moving from the weekend shift to weekday 2nd shift; a drastic change. Once I get settled in to my new schedule and figure out my budget; more collabs and cooking adventures to come! No more survival mode... ☺️

Found The Bunny Archer. #jlmart #kidlitart

My friend's hauntingly gorgeous artwork that she had done recently. If you are a fan of painting in oil/acrylic/watercolour, lighthouses, eldritch horrors, and cute frogs/toads/mimics/mothmen, then you should give her Patreon a look-see! www.patreon.com/posts/vacati...

Without saying your age, who was your first animated crush? Well, I... um... *blushy bear* He's just so nice and supportive and charming and happy, you know? Little John set me on the path to be who I am today.

Vtubers(and streamers in general), please stop apologizing for: -Setting boundaries -Needing a break -Having health issues -Enjoying games off stream -Not chatting/posting every day You are not a machine that needs to constantly produce content. Don’t treat yourself like one.

Polar Pride ❤️🏳️‍🌈

POV: You're so traumatized you can't draw a fanart of your vtuber persona with your favorite character from a series you read, because she has a girlfriend in the book and that would be cheating you're no homewrecker... So, now you have a half finished art piece staring expectantly at you like...

Taking off the kind support bear sona for a moment: Just a gentle reminder to the federal government of who they are dealing with. Make them afraid of us again and shove their edicts right back down their fucking throats.

Thought I would share my friend's work with colour-shifting metallic paints! She would greatly appreciate if members of the sleuth would check out the studio wall and her Patreon to see more of her works. *Blushy bear hugs.* www.patreon.com/posts/galler...

"What does an Orwellian society mean?" ...when people forgot what it means to think. Such as looking up the term Orwellian YOURSELF, finding out that it is based on the author of 1984, and then going and reading the book to try to understand what it means to say we are approaching it. Try it out.
