Just a few more hours until the adult furry fiction showcase at Anthrocon! Room 310-311 at 9pm tonight (Friday). See you there! Please bring your badges AND your IDs! Anthrocon is making panelists check them both. (And on that note, please let me know if you are willing to help with ID checks...)

"I like your No. 6 tattoo" \o/ First time anyone recognized it.

The Downtown Westin Pittsburgh is an embarrassment.

Going into July and AC... Stress is high and won't alleviate without spare cash to invest in my well-being on account of high cost procedures and experiments that healthcare barely covers or outright denies. Probably means finding accommodating contract opportunities for 1500/month.

Heading to Anthrocon imminently. Not in the greatest of spaces beyond immediate needs and supportive relationships. My social battery is likely going to be low as my resources will be focused on performing my roles as a dealer and panelist.

ngl this is one of my favorite cards because the art is so "oof owie period cramps"

While we were on our vacation from 4/30-5/28, our eldest fur baby spent the last ten days of it in ICU. After showing signs of improvement we took him home. Things seemed to be as good as they could for a medicated, diabetic 16 y/o. He was masking; gave us one week. Let him go this past Saturday.

A month away. Home. Maybe a little sick, or just another mcas episode.

We were just in Tokyo. Tokyo has a problem with trash (too much trash, too many people, too few bins...). They do not have a problem with free open and accessible facilities. Many parks and shrines had multiple bathrooms visible from one location. Prohibition incites/invites retaliation.

I think we need queer trope meta tags for Scryfall.

First time in Tokyo since 2008. Got my custom drink from (at)FUN_TCGcafebar on X with my angsty teen plagiarist Nashi alongside my @tolariancommunitycollege.com "The Prof" signed @gamegenic.com deckbox.

45 scam/spam loan reconsolidation messages since April 6th. UHC pimping my number out to third party nurse company under UHC caller ID. First thing they do is say they are not UHC. Why do I have a phone number?

Aaaaaaa! Reading the introductory chapter to an edited volume on methodologies and find a friend from my MA program in 2011 is one of the collaborators on one of the chapters (but largely irrelevant). Wild.

Witch Hat Atelier is about music.

witcg hat atelier is my favorite anime of all time cuz i was having a menty b over world war 3 and all the pretty colors and shapes clamed me down :^)

Reminder that you can search by queer characters on Scryfall! scryfall.com/search?q=art... Or, more importantly, you can search for lesbians to have as your Commander. scryfall.com/search?q=art... Let's go, Lesbians.

Currently "sick". Hate how medical doctors act like know-it-alls and dismiss concerns even when provided with evidence to possibilities while I'm stuck in limbo. Am I sick or is my immune system throwing a tantrum over histamines not being digested.

Asking my doctor if eating avocado seaweed and raw fish made me "sick" after the convention due to histamine intolerance

The Serpent's Skin directed by Alice Maio Mackay.

Because our current timeline sucks and finding cool shit is hard... I was checking in on if there were any cool movies in theaters. Boy did I hit certain uncertain paydirt with trans lesbian horror romance in queer 90s film aesthetics bloody-disgusting.com/movie/394043...

One month remaining for submissions to the Claw Volume 2 Anthology!

I'm in trouble. Last night? Last night I dreamed of that town, Silent Hill.

This was me trying to use my phone to print my document with editing comments. No work done. Canceled my account immediately. I'm done. Completely unacceptable.

Turned in the rough copy of the rough draft of my dissertation proposal. Three years late XD. Popped in to say that. Still mainly hanging on my AD for my sanity.

Dan Simmons, noted racist, has died. He wrote Hyperion, which contained a good short story and then a lot of other words, which many of us read anyway because it was the Nineties and Waldenbooks had a limited science fiction section.

Trial basis. Don't have time for this if it is just feel bad.

Goodnight. Not gonna be hanging out here for awhile. Y'all have proven an inability to empathize and literally spend more time sharing every piece of horrible news multiple fucking times. Same shit, multiple times, multiple accounts.

Rho Iota Phi: Updates! Hi friends! If you don't already know, this lil chee is heading up another anthology! An anthology about queer furry frat boys and a cursed frat house that seems to always have some horrific misfortune befalling its members. Before I start talking about the anthology as a…

Those of you who don't know. I don't live in Baltimore. I live near Philly. We lost Amalgam and Dreamers was there, became my shop of choice. I would be there regularly if I were local. Dreamers is absolutely a service, like Amalgam was, providing an inclusive community space. gofund.me/c711a147c

Eagle weasels in Lorwyn.

Hugely hard to be positive, but I want to try, it just requires more energy than I usually have to search out and think up potential things to share. Resisting the neuro and mental push to hermit.

Creators are not the only link in the creative industry chain. We're looking at effectively a mechanized replacement of human and emotional labor with the only goal being maximizing profits and kicking skilled support into the gutter.

Ghost stories by the fire is the only thing that makes me think a Christmas tree might be pleasant.

All I want for Christmas is... No more spam calls.

Mainstream pop media doesn't have the luxury of expressing controversial ideologies explicitly. With that in mind, Zootopia 2 and Disney could never endorse ACAB. Instead, the narrative positions policing and politics as tools exploited by the rich and powerful.

Can we step back from the ai in critically acclaimed video game and instead go after the fucking warpig waste of space making weapons and gaming hardware out of the scraps.

Honestly, though, begs the question... why did this even occur? Everyone involved should be fired or quit or whatever the process is. I'm not actually thankful they rescinded it so much as wanting accountability for why it even happened in the first place.

Critters the moment y'all have been waiting for is here‼️ The Anthro New England 2026 Con Schedule is now live!! 🤩🔥🤠🦌 Go check out what we've got in store for y'all at the link here: ane2026.sched.com

If you ducks aren't watching Sanda right now, you're missing out. So many timely messages about societies worshipping childhood. Kids get away with murder and generally adults only exist to raise children. Once puberty hits, it's all downhill from there. It's fascinating, weird, and entertaining.

I'm against gen-AI. We do not live in a consumer driven market. We live in a billionaire driven market. Billionaires are throwing money around gen-AI and hard baking their functions into programs, including obscured background operations, which makes it nearly impossible to avoid using.

So, we have the whole queer villainy trope where monsters and evil characters are coded as social outsiders. The Grinch is already queer coded, but their actions and motivations critique culture as convergence of invented traditions and capitalism.

Art should comfort the disturbed and disturb the comfortable, but unfortunately, a frightening number of y’all out there have a worryingly poor grasp of who’s disturbed and who’s comfortable.

And another week will go by without making appointments because healthcare is a joke.

The Game Awards - Between impending generative AI garbage, prepare for the onslaught of "kitschy small indie slop" from "new small independent developers" and zero social or ethical responsibility. White dude tells a sob story with zero reflexivity for what the dev community is going through.

The Game Awards has absolutely no soul. It's just a crumbling hole for G K to hide in.

By trying to not be a ghost, I realize how little I understand how to people because unless everyone is just like me, I'm the common element and conversations just fizzle out because despite being a 50/50 responsibility if I don't keep in touch they don't keep in touch.

The fact that Horses is banned on most digital store fronts while GTA and other violence/torture simulators aren't, besides the reign of capitalism, shows that beyond sex and violence, it's the tone employed. It's the expressionism and metaphors, requiring reflection and processing.

I don't respond well to culturally political motivations. Consider it one of my neurodivergent mental laws. Nevertheless, I went to gog and purchased Horses. Not sure when I'll get around to playing, but it sounds like an adaptation of the Milgram Experiment, aka obedience under fascism.
