Keep seeing things like "a fursuit isn't a replacement for a personality" and other like-minded posts around the fandom and yes I agree
BUT
you need to realise, for a lot of people - particularly furries - a "personality" as you'd call it is something a LOT of neurodivergent people struggle with
I was mute until I was like 14-15, I was absolutely terrified of every social interaction until my early 20s, how the hell do you convey yourself to someone else? Much less form a consistent outer rim for others to taste, I barely know now
Just let people fursuit and enjoy the fundamental joy we all take regardless of your anticipation of the individual
Back in August 2022, Azzy and I attended our first ever Tails in Wales furmeet. It was so much fun that I was filmed here by Mekie performing the official Doran Low-Key Happywiggle (tm).

Hah XD I'm not sure how they arrived at that name but the similarity makes me giggle now you've pointed it out!
We believe that trans healthcare should be based on unbiased research that is peer reviewed. We think that the Cass review's findings have led to restrictive practices that are being directly felt by transgender children.Petitions - UK Government and Parliament
Fun office Christmas party last night. One of the mid-level managers cross-dressed as a prank/dare, and the party was in a shared venue with other Christmas parties, and as a result he's collected a short list of local companies we will choose not to do business with in 2025.
This is what practical allyship looks like. It looks like a gruff, bearded man who is surprisingly good at walking in high heels.
I kinda' hate the way that things are going in respect to what we own nowadays. And by that I mean this.
The more we use subscription services for everything, the less incentive there is for companies to make and sell things at the pay once and own it market.
It's part of why we're seeing game consoles without disk drives, the death of Blue Ray without anything to replace it, and more and more products made to nickel and dime us out of our money.
we're trading ownership for convenience.

Miss ya! Sadly I will not be at ANW this year (too much to explain on here but... wish i was going)

Oof, been so busy still. I took pics nearly 2 weeks ago to post here and still haven't!
So anyway, nearly a couple of weeks ago, a chap from the council came round and added lots of Handles to my house. In the meantime we've discovered that at least some of them do in fact help my mother move around, hurrah.
And finally, just in time (10pm xmas eve) I got some cards out to the neighbours. I printed out some freely-downloadable cards and present tags and was surprised how good they look on plain paper from our colour laser printer. Wrapped up a bunch of things for family in pieces of cloth we use as reusable wrapping paper and stuck them under the tree. My dad's going to be surprised by his — it's ginormous!
I put the cards (actually just paper; unfortunately it looks like the remaining cardstock from when my dad did printing as a business hasn't made it from the old house to the new house yet) through our near neighbours' doors. There are 5 houses that, with ours, cluster round a bend in the road and feel like a little tiny community all of their own. It's quite nice. I don't really know the other residents yet, and only have some of their names, but I expect I'll find out!
We already had cards from some of the other residents and I was near enough the front door when one of them arrived to hear a parent talking her child through the process of putting it through the letterbox, so I'm guessing the child's quite young. I delivered them a colouring-in card as well as a normal one. :]

I hope everyone has a great holidaytimez 💚💚💚

“New York City uses more energy than all of sub-Saharan Africa put together. That the world's largest institutional user of petroleum and the single largest institutional producer of greenhouse gases in the world is the US Department of Defence”
From The Rest Is History: Climate Apocalypse Podcast 16 Mar 2023
only people who get offended about this are the "Christians" who think the entire world revolves around them and that everyone/everything around them is or should be Christian as well.
Also funny how PC has morphed to 'wokeness' for that crowd too. How dare folks be considerate to others who aren't like them?!
Just on the off-chance, anyone know of an example of an otherwise-normal public x509 certificate that doesn't have an OCSP responder URI in it? I'd construct one myself, but (a) I'm not sure I can face slogging through writing yet more openssl commands, and (b) I'd like to have one that I didn't create, so I can use it to test something I did create. Don't test your own assumptions against your own assumptions, kids.
Reason: I have a bunch of stuff that manages my web front-end and ensures every HTTPS response has a stapled OCSP response. With Let's Encrypt (and presumably later others) deprecating OCSP and about to stop serving it entirely within a few months, I want to make my management scripts able to recognise OCSP-less certificates and not (a) wasting their time trying to get responses from them, and (b) marking them unusable due to not having a valid OCSP response to staple.
Thank you. :>

It's #BandcampFriday again! The day where 100% of the profits go towards the artists!
Oh hey! Did you know that I'm one of those musical artists? I make various flavors of #synthwave and released an album a while back called In Flux!

A month after releasing In Flux I put out a loud and gnarly #darksynth track called CYBERVIXEN! Very much inspired by early Carpenter Brut.

Next was an otherworldly chillwave track called Afterlight. Was also super happy with how this one came out.

My latest single, released back in September, is called "Welcome to the World of Computing" and is very inspired by the sounds my dad's Pentium MMX 166 Windows 95 PC would make.

Wayyyy back when I started making music my big thing was Trance. Here's 1am, a track I remastered a bit a couple of years ago, but was originally made in 2008 I think?

Honestly, thank you so much for your support today! December is looking to be the best month I've had on Bandcamp since I released In Flux.
Means the world to me that people out there enjoy my music 🥰
I work (mostly) every weekday morning on music, but everything I've been writing for the last six months has been for Neon Roar, the video game to which I'm composing the soundtrack, and thus I can't share it.
I feel a little silly reposting my old music every Bandcamp Friday when I haven't had much new to share for a while, but then I'm reminded that there are people out there that don't know that write and produce music.
I just want everyone who might like to listen to my music to have the chance to.
"I saved the world," the hero said.
"As was foretold," the oracle said.
"But..."
"Yes?"
"How long will it stay saved?"
"From that Dark Lord? Forever."
"Are there other threats?"
"The world will always need saving."
"So it was all for naught?"
"No! You saved the world!"
Admit it, this is the crazy old person we all want to spend our golden years being. :)
If a furry messages me "hi" you better believe I say hi back, even if they don't make conversation I make the fucking time to chat
I get it, this shit is SO FUCKING HARD, I'd rather talk to you than shut you down because I know how difficult social shit is, I've formed a brain algorithm through years of hardship and boolean operations
