There ought to be more taurs around the fandom. There are distressingly few!
Wikifur has pictures of a few, there's Kartfox's classic photo composite taur, and there was Vulpix's suit too.
Apparently there have been cases of taur *plushies* (and another).
Then there have also occasionally been centaurs (outside of furry) like this one. I even spotted a unicorn centaur at a comic con myself some years ago.
But there's a real lack of taurs. Get busy, people. :]
How much capacity do EV batteries really lose? Aggregated data across 46 models: average SoH at 100,000 km is 91.9%, the best packs hold 94%, and one model trails the field by ten points.VoltChek Team (VoltChek)
Traveling alone teaches you independence. It teaches you to solve problems on your own and keep moving forward.
But traveling with someone those same challenges don't disappear, they just become easier to carry.
A watercolor piece inspired after coming back from my previous trip, where I got to travel both alone and with very good company.
This will be exhibited at the Eurofurence Art Show. My first time attending it, I'm very excited for it!
If you are going this week to Hamburg, Germany... see you there!

I've thought for years that candy is getting smaller. now someone actually found a chocolate bar from 1991, and compared to today, the difference is huge.

This must be kind of maddening for those who grew up in the 90s cus like, obviously you're gonna think candy was bigger when you where a kid, cus you yourself was tiny (i.e. the playground slide didnt shrink, you just grew bigger), but no, the candy was legit fucking enormous by todays standards, and even bigger when seen through a childs eye.
It's like getting confirmation that yes, the slide on your playground did in fact shrink several sizes.
Luzy and Lupicus going out the iconic Max Burger from Malmö (very iconic during NordicFuzzCon, of course, I guess the rest of the year is not that really iconic at all). Those burgers that somehow furries praise as the pinnacle of gourmet food, but in the end of the day is just an average chain food.
Picture for Thinker.

Watercolors Journey: Chase and Samy in New York (20/20)
Last stop of this journey: New York City.
In the middle of Manhattan, surrounded by noise, crowd, lights... It's a sensory explosion that can be overwhelming, but somehow I can still enjoy it. From quiet places where I can have conversations with myself, to places where there's no room to think and you can only keep moving with the flow of the other people around you.
Despite all the surrounding chaos, there is still room for admiration of what we have managed to build as a civilization. However we choose to see it, it is our present and our reality, and in some way, it can be appreciated. As the same Chase and Samy are there walking on these streets, in front of the impressive Grand Central Station, and in the background one of my favorite skyscrapers: the Chrysler building
What a good way to finish this journey, that started in a very quiet place and end up in pure chaos. There are two opposites that can coexist on the same trip with no problems. I'm truly grateful to have been experienced such months in my life, and this couldn't have been possible if I hadn't taken these commissions that helped funded this series of watercolor studies.
Tomorrow I'll share an edition with some videos I took of how my sketchbook was looking. It is a very simple video, I didn't want to go in "Influencer Mode" filming everything I was doing, showing my process and such, there are many times I tend to do those kind of things but this specific trip I wanted to just be there and follow the flow, painting whenever I felt like doing it, only on those spots that were really inspiring me.

If you want to help me doing more projects like this one, and also to help me continue my comic (that I have paused again, I really need to keep working on it!!), I woudl appreciate some support on Patreon or Ko-Fi, that also makes you get exclusive files, like HD versions of this entire journey, plus scanned versions, access to drawings that I haven't posted on my galleries yet, and more.
I would be very grateful with you!

New Blog Post: LLMs, ADHD, and Awareness of Self
Writing code was never the problem, which is why the "slot machine effect", horrifyingly, makes developers feel more 'effective'.
https://local.yipyap.me/posts/2026/20260811-on-llms-adhd-and-awareness-of-self/
This was just a kind of realization I had.
Everyone keeps talking about the external negative impacts, as well as the direct psychological and mental negatives, and that it's addicting, but I hadn't seen anything specifically confront the whole of the "why" of the sense of performance going beyond the slot machine. It's rooted elsewhere, and while I don't say it in my post, I think it largely stems from a major mental health plague: burnout.
TIL "the dress" debate predated the actual dress:
"It had a complex pattern of golden dragons on a blue background. They were extremely complicated dragons [...] but the worst thing about it was that if you looked at it long enough the pattern became blue dragons on a gold background, and a terrible feeling stole over you that if you kept on trying to see both types of dragon at once your brains would trickle out of your ears."
- Terry Pratchett, "Sourcery", 1988

You just have to unionize.
yes, a very simple process. super easy. there is definitely not a network of legally protected asshole lawyers for hire that work to make sure you cannot unionize. there is definitely no negative sentiment fostered by companies in workers with hundreds of hours of anti-union trainings. you definitely won't get fired for trying to join or make a union. just unionize.
"why haven't [insert group you'd like to shit on today here] workers unionized? they're just lazy"
thank you. this is helping a lot. praxis! helpful! ✊️
May I present one of the most extreme tomatoes from the plant my aunt gave me a few months ago.
Scale for scale.
Gentle reminder, when someone is sharing some small piece of resistance they have done, DO NOT SHIT ON IT. Do not tell them it isn't enough or it's still bad because blah blah other stuff...
Everyone is tired and overwhelmed and trying to find some accessible way they can push back. Cheer that!
Celebrate the small; celebrate the imperfect.
No single action is gonna solve everything, but a whole bunch of small actions start the sea change.
Don't punch down when we all need lifting up.
