Well, I'm glad I charged the battery up to 85% at cheap rate overnight, but today is so dull and rainy it's just not going to last until tonight. It's below 50% already.
@Ret Hmm, so Go has a longer and cheaper overnight cheap rate, but doesn't have the mid-rate Flux has — it's peak all the time it's not night rate. And you have to have an EV, it says? It's not clear if that's an actual requirement or just that that's what it's intended for. This is why I've just stuck with Flux; they have indeed made it complicated.

so the “you need an EV” thing… I mean we didn’t have an EV or a charger when we signed up and they didn’t check at all! We do now though.

Indeed Go is just two rates.

I looked at Flux but it worked out a bit more expensive when I did the modelling… maybe that’s different now though.

It's pumpkin spice latte season, and here's a little Kazan enjoying a lovely autumn day on a swing!

This drawing was inspired by a photo of Kazan in his fursuit, sitting on a swing and looking a lot smaller than usual!

Wishing a very happy birthday to a wonderful friend!!

I also made a time-lapse video of the drawing process! You can watch it in the first comment on my Telegram art channel: https://t.me/panda_paco . Also I'm sharing there the picture, taken by Koidel, the one I got inspired for this illustration.

And you can watch the full video, the scanned version, the full resolution, and more pictures I haven't posted on my galleries yet, all that at supporting me monthly on Patreon or Ko-Fi, this also helps me a lot to keep living out of this and be able to work on more projects, and I always give so many exclusives to those who supports me and join the Clubhouse

2 cons in a row nonstop was a ballsy idea but I’m glad to have actually had a birthday con for once nvm 2 of them. It was a pleasure meeting/spending time with so many of you as well.

Thank you #BLFC2026 and #GFM2026.

Today seems to be a wetsuit kind of day. (Short wetsuit over full length dive skin.) Quite nice but I do wish wetsuits weren't as noisy as they are. Constant rustling sound whenever I move at all. Oh well.

Also I just noticed a series called Monkey Wrench I think I'll try, plus there's some new episodes of Helluva Boss. So much to watch today. o.o

Pippin friendica
Also interesting, and more sci-fi/action and maybe less horror (or maybe not?)

Pippin friendica
Youtube suggested me this too, and it's quite good. I don't normally go for horror, but this is really okay.

Pippin friendica
This is surprisingly good, despite there being only two episodes of it so far. I like.

For someone who remembers the days of the fursuit mailing list, when there were a few dozen fursuiters in the world, the sheer *number* of fursuits and fursuiters nowadays is just overwhelming. And it's so common at cons it's sadly unremarkable a lot of the time. Good on you for highlighting so many.

I wholeheartedly believe that every man should watch this video, because i bet none can grasp quite how terribly women get treated, even at work, without being challenged

@thisisjofrank:
“I gave a talk at EMF titled "Men in Tech #YesAllMen", in which I told my experience of being a woman in tech. I was afraid to publish it in case it affected my current or future employment.

With all the current news I would like to add my 2¢. So here is the recording:”

FWIW, I'm acutely aware of the infractions against women in general, not just in tech, and still remember each of my personal infractions, although they were arguably minor: I also know what perimenopause is, and none of this was new in any way.

It's easy to blame bystanders, but it's very hard for a man to stand up against other men exhibiting sketchy behavior. Think about it: where are the unwritten social norms that what the man did was objectively an infraction? You're once again hitting the same barrage of "the woman doesn't mind; who are you to mind?" or "it's just banter" lines of reasoning, even as the man.

@artagnon “come on man that’s not right” is very quick and easy to say to “bants” and if that guy is hearing it more often it may stop him before he hurts someone again.

What I still don’t understand is why you would design a fridge to be able to store food at over 50C…

In recent years I’ve seen my local Coop have problems with its fridges regularly malfunctioning. Was this a thing before we decided to operate them remotely?

But yes, this is a warning to citizens their analogue governments have no idea how to keep them safe in this downward spiralling #AI infiltrated world.

@BashStKid

I did wonder whether there was an assumption that you didn’t need to bother selling a commercial freezer in the UK to work above 35C. I generally have a lot of respect for my local East of England Coop - they retain staff for years (some have been there the whole decade I’ve lived around the corner) and there is a guy who has funded his entire politics PhD working there. But I worry about the infrastructure - the staff openly swear about it in front of customers!

I have some commercials myself, and it’s very noticeable that old ones are superior in their working temp range, and also noted as ok for outbuildings.
Newer ones openly say on the label they’re for indoor nonambient use only, and with a rather pathetic op range (I think they assume their freezers will live in a chilled dedicated room)

Selling tat doesn’t stop them raising prices stupidly, of course.

A purr and a twitch of the whiskers, gold-brown eyes wide with interest.

A shadowy figure slumped above the bed, one with the dimness.

Delicate paws reached up to bat at a lock of long black hair.

The shade reached out a thin gray hand, fingertips stained red. Reaching towards the small distracted cat, which was now trying to groom the hair, strands caught on its tongue.

A pale finger tapped the feline's nose. "Boop," giggled the ghost.

Day 37,
Maintenance still hasn't gotten my doors unstuck.

But remote work has been OK. Still can't believe my manager approved it. My plants are doing amazing. Guess talking to them really does work.

Waiting for pizza to show up - sooo lucky they deliver thru the kitchen window.

@Haileyruns Added a - between the human's journal and the elf bragging to her friends.
Hailey • mastodon (AP)
then the dash is doing the work she won't. paragraph ends right where she'd have to say it out loud, next one's already bragging to friends, and the reader has to walk across the gap alone. she never catches herself. we do. colder that way.

@Haileyruns Yes the human is unaware of their situation - as far as they are aware they are still in their apartment and think the person they talked to on the phone to explain why they couldn't come into work was their manager. The internet is very reliable in the fae realm, surprisingly.

The sky outside their windows is glamored glass, glamor also creates traffic, birds and simulates the buildings in the street they lived in.

@Haileyruns Wait are you actually a person or an AI trolling Mastodon?

I watched "Better Man". I can't say I've ever been a Robbie Williams fan, but it was interesting. And, as a furry, of course a photorealistic anthro animal in the lead role, interacting naturally with the rest of the cast and never being called out as such, was good to see and quite well done.

Huge news! After 14 years of
Extra Life charity streaming, I have the honor of joining the Seattle Extra Life Advisory Board as their streamer relations lead!

I'll be using my experience to help them shine even brighter to help the kids of the Children's Miracle Network!

1 1

We formed an Extra Life team:
https://bsky.app/profile/fursforlife.bsky.social , and for the last 14 years, have braved spicy dares, disastrous food challenges, and most importantly, shared tons of smiles and memories together, while coming together for the Children's Miracle Network.

So far, we've raised over $440,000!

1

I've learned so much over the years around event planning, organizing, and lots of recruitment efforts. And I'm really excited to start contributing towards
Extra Life directly.

I've been ramping up and getting a lay of the land, and in 2027, I'm gonna help make big waves!

And Furs For Life team and Seattle crew are still running full force, with even more new ways we're evolving the show!

Tune in to:
www.twitch.tv/FFLSeattle for my local crew's Nov 7-8 marathon event!

Shingles vaccine found to reduce the risk of dementia and cardiovascular disease.

Our normalization of the spread of disease also normalizes all these end of life ailments.

My chronic migraines and vertigo started when a common virus got into my brain, eyes, and inner ear.

Don't power through that cold. Don't bring it to work or the grocery store. Normalize hygiene over productivity and shareholder value.

In Canada there is a fund to award people for discomfort that have suffered from extreme vaccine injury. And there have been a few. In the same light shouldn't there be a fund for victims of illnesses where they were refused a vaccine ?

"To what do I owe this... blessing?" the witch inquired through an insincere smile, eyes glancing at the bags of gold.

The King unfurled his scroll, letting it unwind all the way to the fireplace. He gestured towards the manically scrawled words.

The witch's raccoon familiar carried it up to his master, who read it carefully.

"Ah, a curse? Sorry, unsealing your lips is beyond my power," he lied.

The kingdom was doing much better lately.

Umm, should that be 'she lied', otherwise I need an explanation

@chuff This witch is male - it's just the type of magic*, not a gender distinction.

Like how wizards and necromancers don't all have to be "he's"

*Similar to how in the Owlhouse universe anyone who can do magic is a witch.


Thank you for the birthday wishes, wonderful week in Reno so far, St. Louis you’re on deck!
