Gateway Furmeet last weekend was an _elevating_ experience! One of the best experiences was another fursuiter coming up to me while we were hanging out and being like, "I love donkeys! Hey, can I try to pick you up?" I of course said yes, and then I ~ascended~!

oh god how did this get here i am not good with computer Mostly crossposts from https://meow.social/@bullsworth, but I do check here. I also wrote my own crossposter, so please let me know if you see problems.
Sometimes I feel like a crazy person But it's tupperware lid-matching day
What does it mean when I'm actually a little excited to use my new scrubbing brush to clean the hard-to-reach spot behind the faucet? Am I old?
Tonight I kicked off my annual spooky month of werewolf movies with 1985's Silver Bullet. I had actually never seen this one before, and I thought it was pretty okay. The werewolf design was better than I expected, and the characters had a very King feel.
I don't know the legal names of the vast majority of people I've met in the past decade. I came to this realization while reflecting on how long it's been since I've met a Phil. Maybe I have just in the past month, but I'll never know.
#FurryMigration had a retro theme this year ("Be Kind; Rewind") so I brought my GameBoy Camera to get some fursuit pictures. I'm bad about conistently getting names, but I'll tag the ones that I can. @granitethehorse.bsky.social @quaggycharr.bsky.social
I'm reading typewriter service manual from like 1962, and this little guy keeps showing up in the diagrams.
Sometimes I think it was a mistake to let the programs we use primarily for viewing text and images become complex virtual machines that execute millions of lines of arbitrary code anytime a friend sends a link to a cat picture.
Trying to follow the modern economy feels like I'm playing a board game where I've supposedly been taught the rules, but nobody plays in a way that makes sense and the winners and losers are never whom I expect.
I'm having another one of those nights where history feels too damn big. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hurrian_
Parallel does amazing work. I got a backpack for @raijen.bsky.social as a gift, and he gets stopped by people at cons all the time, telling him how cute it is. You have about 3 hours to put in a form!
Form is closing today and there's still only one submission. Don't forget to apply, you have a very good chance of being picked!
I got a show from the plane as the sun set on another Anthrocon. The con was wonderful, despite the weather. I'm glad I got to meet so many folks in suit, and I'm happy I got to spend time with many fuzzies I hold dear to me. I also loved the mini con we got to have in the airport on the way out.
The long-awaited recording of our inaugural Corgi Sandiego game at MFF is now live! Come bask in 1990s children's geography crimefighting gameshow nostalgia with us! Huge thanks to our agents, @yvethered.bsky.social and @piroshki.bsky.social, and the voice of Corgi @lilshark.bsky.social!

Look, it's a children's book about the most annoying people on the Internet right now
Sometimes it's the little things in life that will just ruin your day.
Yesterday, there was a company-wide announcement about Claude, so I peeked in at how things are going in the "ai-tooling" work chat.
Circuit design is my passion The 5V section has gotten more complicated. I'm up to 25 unique components.
Work was long and tiring. It's like they didn't even know that it's World Donkey Day and they all legally have to be nice to me.
Look at me, out here bench testing like I know what I'm doing. Let's not talk about the prototype PCBs I got fabbed with a design flaw, leading to this moment.
The awful moment when you're finally making the phone call, but it's been ringing long enough that all your courage to speak with a stranger has evaporated. So you beg it to go to voicemail so you can just talk to a machine.
As LLM corpo-speak becomes more common at my work, I find myself drifting further toward the other end of the spectrum. Instead of messaging my team with: "Hey, can I get a quick review on this code change?" I'll drop: "I yet again yearn for personal and professional validation of my toils."
I've been half working on my Masto2Bsky reposter lately, trying to add support for content warnings.
In a cooler future, a title like this from a company named "Tailscale" would have a much different meaning. tailscale.com/blog/hypergrowth
I'm doing something crazy and actually posting some of my adult stuff here.
