Nerd of various games. Spends too much time picking apart data. Also a raptor. ΘΔ

outed as a therian to the adventuring party because they asked me to magehand and a giant cartoon paw manifested

Overcoming an execution barrier, even a low one, means reinforcing your self-worth just that little bit more. Unalienable, tactile proof that you are capable of more than you might have expected of yourself. Everyone needs more of this in their lives, even in "play" activities like FGs.

again: If you do not fight at the barricade of trans healthcare you will fight at the barricade of the most stigmatized medication you are on and you will do it with fewer experienced allies because you left trans people to die

I take Lexapro. I have taken Lexapro for over two decades. The times that I have discontinued taking Lexapro have ended very badly for me. RFKJ is trying to kill millions of Americans like me. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/04/s...

Dear artists, You NEED to keep in contact with your commissioners. That's right, all of them. If they paid you money, you MUST communicate with them and tell them what's going on. You cannot just ghost someone for months and months after promising a quick turnaround and expect them to be happy!

I am 100% serious when I say that having an optimistic outlook of the future is an effort to maintain when we're bombarded with bad news, horrific actions & constant harm. You have to show up and do the mental work. You have to hope when it looks hopeless. You have to believe people are worth it.

Texas lawmakers literally tried to pass an anti-furry bill. Nazis have been targeting furries forever on the internet. All anti-furry rhetoric is centered around the fact that furries are majority-LGBTQ and incredibly accepting of LGBTQ people, and therefore “cringe.” Furry is a queer subculture

If you're still using Twitter as your main channel for announcements, here's a wakeup call to find somewhere else to post/share from. Remember, people without an account are VERY limited to what they can see when you share a Twitter link. You're closing the rest of the world off.

nitter.net is down. xcancel.com may go soon, too. all the respect to the folks at nitter for their services so far, but to be honest, X completely locking itself out of the web is probably a net positive for us all in the long term

Cease and desist
On 24 August 2026 cease and desist letters have been sent by X Corp. demanding a permanent takedown of Nitter instances and the project's repository.

nitter.net is offline and development has stopped for the time being. I'm seeking legal advice and won't be commenting further on the specifics for now.

Thank you to everyone who used, hosted, packaged, donated and contributed to Nitter over the past seven years.

Some people might not be aware, but it is entirely possible that without Dolly Parton we wouldn’t have had a COVID vaccine. She partly funded Moderna’s research and gave the largest individual contribution to make it all happen. Just gives you an idea of the kind of person she was.
