Imagine somebody giving you shit, and you can't even really get mad, because you have like, scientific proof that you're objectively a more likable person. You have exactly one friend because you're an asshole, and for no other reason. Get fucking got, loser. I have like, at least 30. Eat my ass.

One of the account managers at my job openly admits to only having one friend. After the way she just spoke to me regarding one of my tickets, I think I know why, and it's not because she's antisocial or introverted. I may not have much going for me, but at least I have way more friends than her.

Me: "If you have anything open you're working on, you should save it now. I'll need to reboot your computer after this." User: "How do I tell if something is open?"

There is no amount of money, oil, or gold that is worth more than having bees, trees, and clean water.

Right when everything's going okay, the check engine light comes on in my car again. And the one mechanic I found that I really trusted, recently retired permanently.

I have had it with these fucking bots. 1-3 month old accounts, jack shit in their portfolio, or just inconsistent clearly stolen stuff. There are lots of other things that give it away, but I don't want to give anyone ideas to fine tune their bots. I know a real live artist account when I see one.

Mutuals ONLY - can someone recommend me an artist that does a 90s/early 2000s anime style and also does furry ref sheets?

Fridays

Wanna see a magic trick? Commission please. Art commission. Furry art. Nsfw. I need commission. Potato chip, lawn chair, watering can. Pancakes, broccoli, and a little dash of grated rubiks cube. Commission ref sheet. Need artist. Please reply.

My only not-gotten-screwed comms: I have two cute badges, a fridge magnet I adore, a 2D vtuber avatar, and a pfp I'm not currently using. Courteousy of @starlacearts.bsky.social @hearthfox.bsky.social @thegaypossum.bsky.social @tenshio.bsky.social I am thrilled with the work they made for me.

In the past 13(!) years in this community, I have constantly gotten screwed and ghosted whenever trying to get anything bigger than a pfp. I am extremely cautious now. Restore my faith in artists. Need a ref so that I can actually get fully-on-model art done in the future. It should not be this hard

Need a new artist who can continue/restart a large extended fursona ref, incl nsfw bits. Old artist vanished after sketches were ¾ done, 14 months in. Professional, consistent communication required. Prefer a 90s OVA / Y2K anime aesthetic but semi flexible. Reply here and @franzfurlong on telegram.

A syndrome of the greasiest kind.

BREAKING: the Massachusetts House just passed one of the best data privacy bills in the country. It includes a total ban on the sale of precise location data and includes a private right of action allowing people to sue Big Tech over data abuses. HUGE WIN! But there’s more work to do 🧵

Congrats to everyone who can just leave a toxic job and find something else, without drowning in between. Really, I'm happy for you. I've had like 10 jobs in my adult life and they've all been majorly toxic in some way. Usually after being unable to find work for months, afloat on others' kindness.

They’re packaging it like this so it looks like a shallow trend, but Gen Z has gone through two financial crises, a pandemic, rising fascism, active shooter drills since they were toddlers, and are now being told by the oligarchy they’re to be replaced by robots. Socialism is the logical conclusion.

are you just going to do this for every generation

In every IT job I get, I can feel myself become this image within the first couple weeks. More and more I become SadBob HeadsetPants. Tickets, "it's not workeen", "you gotta stay late", slow progress bars, "can you call us back", sucking out my soul.

My name is Alex Petrovnia. In 2021, I founded the Trans Formations Project, one of the preeminent trans policy nonprofits in this country, and I ran it successfully until 2025. I have been to the White House twice and won the NCTE's highest trans organizing honor in 2023. I am not spam.

I don’t think you could convey modern conservatism in any sort of essay or book as accurately as you could just showing people this image

oh hey a movie where we get to root for the virus!

Sometimes they think if a different person says "it's not working" they'll get a different result. Like they'll literally hand the phone to somebody else, and they will say the exact same thing. I wrote a one-act play about this and I'm tempted to post it sometime.

Working in tech be like this some days

pride month

By far my least favorite thing about doing help desk MSP work, is dealing with snotty rich kids who inherit their parents' companies/firms. I just got yelled at by some dork who wanted Discord and Twitch unblocked, because I didn't personally know that he had taken over the company from his dad.

I'm pissed that the xteink manufacturer changed their tune right when I got disposable income again. Reminds me of how ThinkGeek closed up shop right when I got my first disposable income.

how times have changed

not sure who this william pencil guy is or why anyone is supposed to care what he thinks

🎶 DOOM BAD 🎶

Cops love to say schools are radicalizing people but i was at a grocery store earlier today that advertised chicken breast for 3.99/lb and another lady and i asked if they had any left and the butcher said they only made up 5 packages at that price to get people in the door so idk

Good news. It's NOT popped a lung 2 electric boogaloo

oopsie I might have popped my lung again

Furries, we have the opportunity to do the funniest thing, with your 20$ contribution, we can all yiff in Hell.

What if I just sleep instead.

Serious

Whenever a post of mine breaks out of the usual furry circle it looks like this

They are high on their own supply and this is not going to end well for them. This is mask-off Klan shit. We are a racist country, but they are acting like the frog is fully boiled. And it just isn't.

The weekend is here

You said the nuggies would be done an hour ago! 🦊💢

oopsie, I used all my leftover spoonergy after work to clean up my place, and now there's no spoonergy left to make food. oopsie all the food places are closed now. the tiny kittyfox in my brain is trying to rub two rocks together, to get my brain to work enough to cook real food for dinner. oopsie

Donald Trump sued his own IRS then settled the case and walked away with a lifetime shield from IRS scrutiny and nearly $2 billion in taxpayer dollars for what, exactly? Paydays for Jan 6th rioters and his personal allies. Meanwhile, the rest of America is barely scraping by.

I've blown two fuses today. I keep forgetting that I can't run the air fryer while the air conditioner is on. I forget the air conditioner is on because I have headphones on, and I'm not used to it being on

Furry cons will change your life tbh. Imagine 3-4 days of socialization where the vast majority of the content - instead of being tied to corporate franchises and pre-existing IPs - is just passionate people expressing themselves and sharing their interests. And also, SHITLOADS of free, warm hugs.

In IT, temporary bad decisions about cable management, networking, and coding, can all lead to permanent solutions. Permanent as in, it works now and is no longer my problem. Sorry for the future person that has to fix this later.

people giving me shit for having a lot of stuff in storage. "you don't need it. you don't even know what's in there" bitch I struggle with object permanence of course I don't know what's in there. but I promise you, I can tell you the life story of whatever you pull out, and how much it means to me.
