Hello there! So this is my first time playing the Otamatone and the Theremin in front of anyone! I received both instruments as presents last Christmas and I...
Baseball and Paco bouncing together on a bouncy castle during the dances, while the music played in the background. A sweet memory, and a drawing that came out of an art jam with @karpour
Pity. If I was more than one person my business would qualify for this kind of thing. (I don't actually have any customers with managed dedicated hosts right now, but could easily do so - I colo machines for some customers, and I do OS-level management for other customers. Could certainly buy a machine, colo it and manage it for someone. But… I don't have a twin. 🤷)
There was a lot of gossip. Not because they were both very old, and famous. Not only because both used the same pronouns. Mostly because they were different species.
How do they do it?
"Like everybody else," the heir to the Elven throne said.
The dragon smiled. "With love, care, and enthusiasm."
During BLFC, Kibou was sitting next to me taking commissions with crayons, something truly adorable to see. I understand that feeling, just drawing for the joy of it, not worrying about perfection, not overthinking, but simply enjoying every color and line, and sharing that happiness through it.
Picture for Kibou. Traditional. Color pencils over toned tan paper.
I was trying to remember whether I posted this link before. A search suggests that yes, I did, a few months ago, but I've made some edits since then. As I'm mostly happy with it now, here it is again! A short (approx 12 minutes to read), fursuity, time-travelly, cuddly, science fictiony story. See what you think!
Holy flip… and this guy's 23 years old. Twenty-three. And I can still remember the excitement of the first time I took Kelsey out (my first time ever in fursuit), at Megaplex in 2003. How time flies.
@Xoa Gray Oh yes, I remember you must have been there because photos you took there are on Timduru's archive. Doggo desperately needs a rebuild but he's still wearable as is - just!
I have now watched A Minecraft Movie. I really am not sure what I think of Jack Black. While I can't imagine anyone else voicing Po as well as him, most of the things I've seen him in, he's just so over-the-top it doesn't seem credible. My disbelief just doesn't suspend far enough. Pity, because by all accounts he's a really good guy.
When I had a stroke I was actually quite shocked at the lack of information from NHS when discharged.
When I had a fall I had like four separate "you broke, or nearly broke, this that and the other" type advice sheets. Very good stuff.
For a stroke I only had one thing on speech issues (with a number to call if I had problems, yes, really!). Nothing on what is a stroke, or why, or what to do next.
But it seems that if ever I have a hip replacement the NHS has detailed advice for me... Phew.
I was once handed a pre-op advice sheet and a pack of alcohol wipes for a contemplated surgery that had not even been scheduled, nor had the consultant surgeon even seen me. That was after an appointment I showed up for which consisted of them saying "your imaging hasn't been done, why are you here" (to which I said "because you sent me a letter with a date and time, and I showed up as I was told").
I realize that folks who grew up here have a touch of Stockholm syndrome about it but the NHS really isn't a well run system, if it ever was. I will get shouted at for saying so, but wanting socialized medicine to continue to exist and considering the NHS fit for purpose are two different things.

That moment when you can't quite remember how long your NAS spends in firmware mode after reboot, but you do know that:
a. It has done some sort of update b. It is not responding to pings on any of its Ethernet interfaces c. The status lamps indicate something involving disks is happening inside the box

Museum chee! I highly recommend checking out small local museums - it feels wonderful to support them and you might be surprised what you can learn! ❤ #FursuitFriday
Welcome to the new me. :) The new suit had its grand debut last weekend and I couldn't be happier. Having a full suit will make me overheat and get tired faster, but being fully covered in fluff and softness is a wonderful and immersive feeling. And oh my goodness all the new fluff and the life in that face... I'm so happy. @selkiesuits absolutely knocked it out of the park.
@rawenwolf *wiggle* I am very very okay with this reaction ^^ it feels like being a giant plushie and it's so good, I just want to be sof and hug people and make them feel better.
I never thought I'd be nostalgic for the tech era that had Steve Ballmer jumping around on stage yelling "DEVELOPERS! DEVELOPERS! DEVELOPERS! DEVELOPERS!", and yet, here we are. It was better than whatever the hell this is.
A complete remake of my 2010 YTP "Steve Ballmer Sells Clean/Dirty Windows", except it's almost nothing like the original aside from preserving some classic j...
Wow, I didn't know that picture of Beastie predates FreeBSD. I just always considered him their take on the character, before all BSDs insisted on modernising their logos to something that has very little left of him. NetBSD had probably the most radical take.
It's nice to see that this is still going. Way back in the mid-'90s I actually collected up patches and put together a release of the FreeMiNT kernel, when no one else seemed to be working actively enough on it to do so. It looks like I'm still in the changelog to this day. Noyce.
It's London Comic Con Winter this weekend and I kind of want to spider up and go, but also I kind of want to just… not. I would like to see my Spidey friends again, but on the other hand it's a longer trip from the new house than from the old one, it's a big effort, I have stupid amounts of stuff to do, and… I just don't have energy any more. Anyone I know going?
The worst part about aging is that “a long time ago” gets more and more recent feeling. What do you mean 2010 was “a long time ago”???? It was 2010 like five minutes ago.
@Captain Packrat @Tilton Raccoon We're already a quarter of the way through the 21st century — that same 21st century that used to be cool and futuristic and a long way off and held the promise of flying cars and jetpacks.
I find I see only 2-3 years ago being quoted as "old" distressingly often these days. I've been running my current little business since 2006/7 and my eldest neice, who has recently started college(!) is actually younger than that, yikes.
That was ADORABLE.
Thank you for silly music!
