Complaining about someone's hair color is like complaining about the paint color on someone else's house.
It's not your paint and it's certainly not your fucking house.
Me: plays Minecraft
Me: reads timeline
Me: right, time to get on with some wβ
Brain: oh, I need to do dinner now and tomorrow's grocery delivery needs to be finalised.
In the end I got about 5 seconds of work done today.
Some people say the party doesnβt start til the fox shows up~

Something that has been living in my brain all damn day is this image that a friend sent me!
Fucking love foam rubber creature suits like this.
The TMNT ones especially.
Pluuuuuss.... Ropes n shiz >.>
Combine the 2. MHRRRFFFF!
Incidentally... the thing that got me into the furry scene was FR suits. Investigating FR suits, imagining dragon FR suits >.>
A Jencen shaped foam rubber suit would be jsut.... fuck yes!
I think a lot of people imagine gyms as a roided-up environment full of aggressive guys who will bully you like a beach hunk in one of those old ads, or where everyone will take the mickey if you go and lift starter weights, or where sexual harrassment is the norm.
Maybe my experience is skewed by living in Cambridge, but in ~12 years of going to gyms here, I've never seen an example of those things. I've seen guys supporting and encouraging each other, and talking about feelings in ways I've never seen anywhere else, not even at furcons.
I've seen - I've been - the out-of-shape guy who struggles to move 8 kg dumbbells and nobody batted an eyelid.
If anyone looks like they're ogling you, it's probably because your form is really bad in a way you can't see yourself, or really good and they're about to ask you for advice.
And in all that time, the closest I've ever seen to aggro or fighting is last week, when literally everyone in the room was giving dirty looks to one guy who was making a phone call on his earbuds while walking up and down in people's way.
I honestly wish our nerdy spaces could be so reliably wholesome and supportive.

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
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
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!

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.

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 β 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. :]
