What's up? 🦝🔥

Best alt text on this platform? Heh heh

Just being small in the forest. Only one out on this hidden trail. 🥰🐀🧊🌲

Two epic rodents exploring Alaska, with an emphasis on the Castner Glacier ice cave actively disintegrating alongside us in July 2022. 🥰🐀🐁 Featuring special guest, @twigmouse.bsky.social !

A wild soul in a wild place, riding the slow-motion wave of what will be a new world for everything, no matter how we feel about it. Never lose that drive to be what you want to be, because darkness always disappears with fire, even if it is a flash of light. Song generated within Suno.

It got to an estimated -74F last night, turning a couple of days at my friend's into 5+ as every fluid, including fuel, solidified. My tires are frozen/locked. Some relay is frozen stuck, making my car think it is turned on and draining the battery. Fun times in interior Alaska. :p

The trapped air under the ice created so many cool, swirling patterns. In some places, the ice was so transparent, it looked paper thin instead of several inches thick, with water moving underneath.

Criss-crossing ice bridges for 2 miles to get to this snow cave large enough to fly my drone around me. This is a slot canyon, AKA terrain trap, prone to rockslides and avalanches with nowhere to run to, but it has been so cold and windy the last month, everything is (mostly) locked in place.

Oh, hi.

I have so much media and I only display not even 5% of it. Part of that is to pace myself for updates when I can't capture media--weather, projects, work--but I don't do this for views so social media has been a terrible motivator. 😆 I also fear celebrity to a degree.

Been a rainy winter so far! I actually like it because blowing/shoveling snow is annoying. :p It only feels more annoying and pointless the older I get. 😁

Fursuiting inside glaciers.

I was in the middle of that large hole to get my final drone shots for the day. I was suiting up and heard a noise that sounded like some running along the edge just out of sight. Suddenly, the sound spread all around me, and I could feel the ice shift. I had no idea where to go for safety. 😵‍💫😬🧊🐀

@vpofsharpthings.bsky.social you are famous on this platform! 😍🥰

Love being furry on days like this.

😍 Mavic 4 Pro's first flight Wednesday. Nice to have adjustable zoom capability again!

I have learned to appreciate not to care too deeply about the opinions of others about what I enjoy. Whether it's a fursuit, a kayak, a glacier, a drone, or AI, I will use any tool I deem necessary to get the job done no matter what. World War V won't end itself. 🐀

Not liking how I feel these days after an all-day hike. :p It's like I am getting older lol. I have a friend who is 10 years older than me but has gotten into marathons and other endurance sports, so I know that getting older doesn't mean that hikes like this have to necessarily end.

I had the pleasure of filming a fat bike festival once again. We had one perfect day around the icebergs, but the other days required all my skills to maintain control over my equipment in icy, raining conditions without damaging the drone.

So intrigued by the next 20 hours or so. Media scaring everyone that TikTok will “go dark” when that’s not how data works, luckily. At least, not for a long time. A graffiti tunnel starts us off, the space still functional because its physical purpose can be different from its surface purpose.

Beautiful break in the clouds just in time for the aurora to come out. After about 15 minutes, we heard the annoyed grunts of a bear nearby and left the area peacefully.

The beauty of late summer along coastal Alaska. Scents you can taste. :p #salmon #swimuntiltheend At this point, the bears love eating the brains and the birds love the eyes, and what remains actually decomposes within a couple weeks. As quickly as the stench arrives, it’s gone!

And the real deal. 😎😍🤯 My favorite question of the month: “What if this breaks?” 🦝: “We die.”

Magical ice caves. Not sure why the AI turned the ice crystal into an ice cream cone, but I accept all the treats. Image based on a real ice cave that I explored today. Created with a simple prompt and then decreasing the original image weight to bring out more of the raccoon. #aiart #furry

Forgot I even had Twitter, then realized I had an invite for BlueSky. 🥰 Just your average person who loves raccoons and sometimes looks like one while exploring glaciers, looking out across mountainscapes, and loves sound design and AI generative technologies. #raccoon #anthro
