⚡️sketch of Rook with their guitar for the band AU⚡️ Had fun trying to come up with a design for their guitar that is sleek but also unique to their style! Got the lightning bolt theme going so this felt fitting

The definition of irony is being a furry and having The Human League in your music library.

While I am enamored with the sound and imagery of nightlife (new wave and synthpop are two of my favorite music genres), I very rarely take part in it. Every furry convention brings its own nightlife to whatever venue it's held in, but I'm not much of a drinker or dancer. I just like the vibe.

A game with no win/lose condition is called a toy. Video games like Minecraft or The Sims could be called "software toys".

18 years ago, furries got into the Guinness Book of World Records for being the largest "furry fan" organization. Anthrocon 2006 was noted to have had a "record" attendance of 2,489. Anthrocon 2026's attendance was 20,618. Times have definitely changed lmao

I switched from Apple Music to iTunes (which is apparently still a thing, but the two services have been merged). Since I only listen to a handful of artists, it made more sense to just buy their music outright, rather than pay a recurring fee to access it.

The man who brought us Jar Jar Binks has now embraced AI. Show of hands: how many people want to permanently send this man to a galaxy far, far away? www.pcgamer.com/software/ai/...

George Lucas says rejecting AI is like rejecting cars in favour of horses: 'There's nothing you can do about it… it's the future'

Not sure about that one, George.

The great thing about Japanese game developers is that they don't waste money on size-changing horse balls.

One of the furry community's originals, Roz Gibson, is in really big trouble. She is in kidney failure, and needs a donor, so please reskeet. www.furaffinity.net/journal/1138...

I’ve thought long and hard about making this post, but really, at this point, I don’t have much to lose. Desperate times, and all that.

TLDR version: I need a kidney transplant, and I’m looking for a donor. Read below for all the gory details.

Since late 2019, right before Covid hit, I’ve been battling a serious illness. I’ve been kind of cagey about what exactly is wrong, for a number of reasons, but here’s the truth—I’m in full kidney failure.

There is no history of this in my family, so when the symptoms began appearing I didn’t recognize them until it was too late. By the time I went to a doctor my kidney function had dropped into the single digits. Most kidney failure is caused by diabetes or high blood pressure—I got some weird kidney disease I can’t even pronounce and never heard of: Oxalate Nephropathy.

By adopting some dietary changes and careful monitoring, I was able to limp along with reduced kidney function for several years. But you don’t appreciate how much your kidneys do to keep you healthy until they stop working. There’s constant fatigue and nausea, and a general feeling of unwellness that never goes away.

But eventually I lost even what minimal function I had left, which left the end of the line for kidney disease: dialysis. As of this point I’ve been on dialysis for about 3 years. Let me tell you—dialysis is its own special kind of hell that you wouldn’t wish on your worst enemy.

But even that is just a stop-gap measure, and my condition is continuing to get worse. Despite this, I’m trying my best to live as normal a life as possible. I’m extremely lucky I have a job that’s willing to allow me 9 hours a week for dialysis, so I’m still working. On weekends I work on my art and comics, and one or two days a month I do my volunteer work at the bird-banding site. I can even travel to see my family—if I arrange for dialysis at a local clinic ahead of time.

All of that is done while trying to deal with the symptoms of kidney failure. I’ve known 4 people who were on dialysis—none of them worked or really did much of anything, and at this point they’re all dead, which doesn’t really give me a lot of hope for my future.

Which brings us to the point of all this—I desperately need a kidney transplant. That is the only thing that will give me a chance at a relatively normal life. I’ve been approved and on the transplant list for a few years, but the waiting period in California is very long. By the time I get to the top of it, I may be too sick to get one. Right now I’m still in relatively good condition, comparatively. A transplant from a living donor lasts much longer and is better in every way than one you get from a deceased donor.

Unfortunately, everyone in my immediate family is too old or has other health problems that preclude donation. So this post is a desperate attempt to find anyone willing to donate. I realize donating a kidney is a lot different than giving ten bucks to a GoFundMe, but as I said at the beginning, at this point I don’t have much to lose by asking.

Here is the living donor site: https://www.uclahealth.org/medical-.....t/living-donor

You can inquire and even arrange to donate completely anonymously if that’s what you want. Hopefully there’s a Jack Salem fan out there who wants to see the stories (and the artist) continue for years to come.

That is all.

Happy Disability Pride Month to all my friends, and individuals who have a form of disability whether it be physical, neurological, etc. There is a lot going on with the disability community at this very moment in our country & the world. But know that you are absolutely worth it.
