Folks, IMVE is a thing in our own backyards. I worry about the chuds training in gyms and military drills to pull shit like this, who hate anything different from them. Don't take your safety for granted. And if you run a furry con - these threats must be part of your risk and contingency planning.

[me, talking about a convo I had at work with an employee having interpersonal issues, and how much I lack executive function at end of day.] Olefin: "As a neurospicy person, your 45 minute conversation was probably the equivalent of three hours of cognitive load for someone else." Me: "Yup."

For all of you sending the hot Bowser self-portrait from the Super Mario Galaxy Movie trailer, because you know me Bless y'all 🙏

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old: Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning We will remember them. #RemembranceDay

Trying a little something out this morning. Proof of concept complete: I can do MIDI out over USB from this digital piano, once I get ancient drivers working. (Audio's a bit soft, but I expect this song will be a bit of a throwback. #ffx)

🐮💚 Happy Feral Flame release day! 🐺🔥 Book 4 of 6 of the #NossSaga ✅ ... Two more to go. Help me spread the word, and good luck getting that mask! #BookSky 🌈📚 #QueerBookSky

What's been new the last few weeks: - Dealing with restructuring at work - my boss left. Next steps unclear. - Starting to source parts for new computer and sim rig - Continuing to make the space our own post-reno - Doing some self study on amateur radio - Planning Big Thing next August

This needs more attention: Zohran SPLIT the straights with Cuomo. ALL of his margin was from LGBTQ+ voters. Every Dem who ever said “we should abandon the transes” needs this shoved down their fucking throat with a ramrod.

"Why do I keep walking past this aisle in Costco" "'Cause you're a slut for Bowser, Scani" "shut >//////>"

Presented without comment.

Honestly daylight savings probably saved me from being an absolute mess this morning. Couldn't get to sleep. Ended up moving back and forth between the bed and the couch. At the very least the time change means I still got six hours. And again, screw illness.

That was harder to watch than against Seattle in 2022. So close. Literally so close. Pushed them right to the brink. I'm going to go to sleep now. I hope the pundits say this series is a classic, because it's the only consolation we have.

No points for why my heart rate has gone up over the last few hours... (Doesn't help that I'm fighting off something flu-ish but STILL)

FanGraphs win probability: 89% Outs to go: 6 Not counting chickens yet, but heck... #BlueJays

Never been so pleased to see a pitcher see karma on the next at-bat in my life. #BlueJays

Tonight, it doesn't matter what kind of bird you are... Inspired by teamwork. Excited with hopes of seeing Toronto celebrate being a championship city again. Let's go #BlueJays. 💙

Blue Jays Cody Houle ~ Anishinaabe 2025

After several weeks in storage, the plushie wall is back in service.

Watched Downie Express season 1 over the weekend -- found it to be an unexpected travel documentary gem. I never really considered the Nordic countries as destinations BUT NOW I AM.

Looking at FanGraphs data from last night. - Start of the inning: 21.1% win probability for the #BlueJays - Before Springer's HR: 36.7% - After Springer's HR: 77.5% 40% win probability added in one swing of the bat. We know it was a high stakes moment and momentum shift - this quantifies it.

I went out and ran 42 km for the first time in my life today. Well. I walked a good chunk of it but brought it home in under 5 hours. So I'm a fucking marathoner now, according to one sign on course. Another sign told me to bark if I had that dawg in me. So I did. #puppyplay

Running my first ever full marathon tomorrow morning. Picked up my bib today and did one final run around Exhibition Place. They have a bin of raccoons.

Apropos of nothing...

... help. Having impure thoughts of a Scani-Arcanine character.

Yup, this tracks. Having something to keep my mind active is the way I keep my intrusive thoughts at bay.

"It's the shittiest form of curling ever. Robot bullying." -- Olefin, without context

SWING AND A DRIVE, GET UP AND OUTTA HERE. #BlueJays

Last tapering long run (17 km) today. Marathon next weekend, and only 20-40 minute runs in between. Time for Thanksgiving dinner. 🦃

Teasing the macro and hyper fans on my timeline

A Catholic priest making a point to bring Jesus out to the imprisoned, and being rejected by ICE ghouls, says volumes about who they are. One cannot help but admire spiritual courage like this. "The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not overcome it."

!Art Post! !!!!LET'S GO BLUE JAYS!!!! (Sketch Commission for KodiHusky that I couldn't resist upgrading. Had to get this one done ASAP and just in time!)

Fuck the Yankees, with a begrudging hat tip to Aaron Judge. Bring on the next series.

“Furries are no longer socially considered losers in public, but they carry the trauma of being in that position beforehand. For precisely this reason, this alienates people from others, and limits their ability to engage intimately and earnestly with others, despite overtly seeking it.”

Man I can't wait for another round of discourse that I can weaponize against myself despite being a decade removed from the original decision, and over a year from any involvement at all.

Storktober day 6: interlocking beaks birds tend to preen instead of kissing because beaks often make it awkward. But when both beaks are long and straight, you can interlock them, and @scanigryph.bsky.social was very adamant in finding out

I have finally played Balatro, and won on my first run. ... Okay, I get why people like this.

Crazy Credits Trivia: Scani appears in the credits as "Chicken Wrap". (also Komodo did awesome work on this and y'all should watch)

What's been up lately? - Over 500 sq ft (~120 to go) of flooring put down - 31 km long run today (three weeks to my first marathon) - Some tough decisions I need to make on the work front soon - long story short, I probably need to start taking some risks.

"Tarp off, [...] horses ready, here we fucking go" has gotta be up there.

Gosh, if we get another "Bautista with a drive! Deep left field! No doubt about it!" moment this city is going to explode.

A Handy Guide [1/4]

Guys, gals, and nonbinary pals, we are into day 8 of renovations. Another room is clear. So we're taking a trip to the Snack Zone~

Cancelled my Disney Plus subscription. Maybe it'll send a message. Hopefully.

A ridiculous 28°C in mid-September today - this was my shirt after running tonight. No, I did not run through a sprinkler! #ScaniRuns

If you see paws, post yours! 🐾 📸 Ventura Osprey

I feel like some folks would be happier in furry if people realized that this community is a loose federation of many, many smaller collectives and if you are at odds with everybody around you the solution is not to make broad proclamations about "the fandom" but to actually find your people

Gonna be more quiet here over the next couple of weeks. We're doing some DIY reno work at home. Absolutely looking forward to a refreshed space, but gotta do the work to get there.

The article Alix shares here adequately sums up my feelings on this week's news. I don't want to live in a world where your power is based on how many bullets you have. Murder is wrong. He wasn't a good man. Both things can be true. The rest is the mess that we must now clean up. Be wary.

Vehicle repaired, and I have to say I really enjoyed driving a Volkswagen Tiguan around for the last ten days. Never seem to go wrong with them!
