It's time for the spooky season. It isn't October if there aren't pumpkins🎃👻 Here are some photos at the Walton Farms furry pumpkin patch meetup last sunday! #VFD #vanwafurden 📷: Thank you to @danrulz98.bsky.social & @beals.gay 🦝:@gunnerwolf.bsky.social 🦁:@hearzlion.bsky.social #fursuitfriday
My take on using Machine Learning and AI for photography. Classifiers that run locally can be really useful tools. The kind of software that identifies people, objects, out of focus photos. This technology has been around for a long time. Generative AI is cancer and should die in hellfire.
We need a version of the Creative Commons licence that is generally permissive but prohibits the usage in generative AI.
Im feeling the desire to photograph more events and go outside my comfort zone. Also want to expand on subjects, furries are fun but there are so many different things to photograph out there
Circle avatars is the worst thing that has ever happened to modern web design.
The fursuit parade at ASC was late, so we made our own! 🍪 @tokudayeen.bsky.social ✂️ @thatsfurredup.com 📷 @beals.gay
The fox is distracted with something! Could it be you? 🦊👀💛 📸: @beals.gay #asc2026 #fursuitfriday #furry
Human made art is the best :3 Yall should show off some of your favorite works you've made 👀
How to find me at #ASC2026! Come find me for hugs and stickers! Also, contrary to what you may have seen in the con book saying I'm a fox, I'm a wolf! 🐺 📸: @tullem.bsky.social & @beals.gay
Double whammy this year with con scheduling :/. Hopefully things smooth out for 2028
Get Out The Float@getoutthefloat.com · 4w agogetoutthefloat.com/gotf-postpon... With heavy hearts, we have to postpone GOTF 2027 to 2028. This is not a decision we take lightly, and we will continue to work from where we needed to stop. Nobody wants this, but it is the Bestway forward for GOTF.
I think the dates are going to hurt furlandia's attendance this year. This is a very unfortunate conflict :(

"We must continue utilizing Flock technologies so that we can follow and surveil the rebel scum as they move from playground to playground, from playground to pool, from pool to gymnasium."

While stuff like this can tell a nice story, you have to be really careful to account for bias when parsing through data. I could easily cherry pick a bunch of factors to turn the map blue. Ie. Cost of living, homeless population, wealth inequality. This could all just be made up as well.

This con is truly something special. It's really well ran by a small group of passionate people who genuinely care about the community. While the event is modest, the passion behind it is extraordinary Please consider helping them
Baphnedia@baphnedia.bsky.social · 2mo agoThis has not been my year at all. Looking... hoping for help. gofund.me/d47a18b53
Today was the last day the mostly abandoned PDX Lloyd Center Mall was open to public, so hundreds of people just showed up and hung out, no one cared if you drew on the walls since its getting demolished Had fun drawing critters. Tomorrow they’ll stare into an empty building before they’re gone
I think the US government cheaped out on new passports. I had it in my pocket for a day and it's already faded. This is a new passport that I used for one trip.
The custom kigu is back in my possession. Honestly this is just reinforcing my bias to never fly with things that are irreplaceable such as my fursuits.
Beals@beals.gay · 2mo agoI'm honestly impressed. KLM left my bag behind in Schiphol Airport on my way to Europe and then did the same thing on my way home.
I can't see myself having anything else for my lock screen. Art it by @roombakittens.bsky.social
Arenides@aren.is.rawr.ing · 2mo agoNo cheating, post your lock screen :3c Or don’t, I’m not your parent.
