Furthermore: Algo-speak is actively harmful. Consider the "muted words" feature on BlueSky. It's a very literal feature and has no understanding of semantics or context. If you're muting the word "rape", you don't want to see or hear about it. Saying "grape" (verb) simply bypasses this.

"But I don't wanna get demonetized" - crybabies that lack any constitution and whose opinions aren't worth hearing I've never once been monetized. I never will be. I write for free. Nobody can hold my ability to pay my bills against my head and demand I self-censor. Try it sometime.
death die dead murder pedophile rape suicide You aren't on TikTok, motherfuckers. Stop with this euphemistic algo-speak. Say what you fucking mean.
Every year, I’m blessed to have a partner on this journey of life. We have our ups and downs, seen so much together, and have so much more to see. He is my rock, my anchor, my best friend, my companion, and the love of my life. Happy Birthday, @snares.bsky.social
I’ve been running the iOS 27 Beta, and I found an absolutely joyous use for Siri. So on Mastodon and Bluesky, you are encouraged to include alternate descriptions for images. Siri does an amazing job at that! Let’s continue making technology more inclusive for the world!
❄️Japan 2026 Settled into our cozy room, @snares.bsky.social and I ventured out to find dinner, and we stumbled into what look like a little nondescript place at the foot of the onsen falls. What followed was a really hearty meal that kept us nice and warm. Also, 8 pictures in a Bluesky post!
I'm still pretty tired from the trip, but I edited four @aurawra.org Dance Competition photos today to get something done. Except I did it in black and white, because it was easier, and I feel like monochrome dance competition photography is super rare so I want to try and get something out of it.
There is someone on the bus who thinks wearing this ultra bright LED thing on their bag as an accessory is “kewl”. Also, the passenger also did the whole “rub my nose and slide my fingers into my hair” manoeuvre. And they were seated in the priority seats on a packed bus. Kewl.
Pretty wild to think that I am starting my third year of university this week; and turn 43 in 2 more weeks. I’m more concerned with writing the narrative I hope to end on, rather than fuss over what other’s perceptions are of me, and continue to devote myself to those who support and love me.
❄️Japan 2026 @snares.bsky.social and I made a trip back to Kusatsu and back to one of the places we stayed before. That said, I seemed to have selected the family room during my booking, so imagine our surprise to see this huggggggeeeeeee room. There were like… 4 beds. And a hanging chair.
HAPPY WORLD LION DAY! (Thank you @diamantsace.bsky.social for the reminder!)
Just reviewing some footage, and I gotta say having an action cam while suiting is REALLY useful for someone who can’t process everything that happens within the compressed weekend of a convention. Not sure if I can stitch them into a coherent narrative yet. Will figure this out.
any Irish followers???? my good Aussie friends are in Dublin and I feel like they should meet some Irish furries
Aurawra gave me a lot to reflect on how I want to spend future conventions. Will be phasing out my pink outfit which I’m not vibing with anymore (was mostly for Pink Dot activism). Would like to experience more beach cosplay fantasies and tone down on high energy stuff moving forward.
❄️ Japan 2026 HEWWO SNOWW @snares.bsky.social and I were headed back to our favourite onsen town for a post-JMoF bit of hot spring action. Here we are at the base of our soon-to-be climb into the mountains with our highly capable Toyota Corolla Touring.
It’s been a busy week just exploring Sydney and attending @aurawra.org. I really do appreciate small con vibes, and it definitely brings back that close knit vibe that I have missed. Looking forward to sharing memories of @snares.bsky.social and I’s trip together with you.
Thank you everyone who swung by the Vinyl Chill Lounge at @aurawra.org — special thanks goes out to Foxtail, LuüuDO, Sam & Zest for sharing their collections, as well as @hollud.sg for cohosting. We hope you’ve enjoyed chilling with us as much as we did hosting this liminal music space. #Aurawra26
