Photographer challenge: post a photo you're extremely proud of. I'm kind of a sucker for sunrise photography, and I was still pretty new to photography when I went on the trip I took this shot. There are some things I wish technically I could have done a bit better, but I'm still pretty darn happy.
Photographer challenge: post a photo you're extremely proud of. Playing with light and shadow has always been an interest of mine in photography, but this was the first time I feel like I stumbled into actually feeling like a shot I took gave light tangible volume and presence.
Okay, so after the first hard run of the new Star Fox game...I liked it! It's a very decent remake of the original game. Some random thoughts:
Life has been very rough, but I have a tiny bit of good news. I'm not a shmup person, usually, but I've gotten mildly obsessed with Zero Ranger, and today I finally got a 1cc on White Vanilla, including the TFB! This is pretty easy in the grand scheme of things, but it's a big deal for me ^^
Boy, you're gonna carry that weight / Carry that weight a long time

Been dealing with a lot of offline emergencies in addition to it being the anniversary of my father’s death. Spring cleaning today so I can unload some assets. Ended up unearthing this and felt like it could help anyone going through it lately.
I don't think I've come across a poem that taps into my ethos when it comes to navigating queer community within the context of a hostile world as much as "We Have Enough Dead Friends" by Lena Oleanderson. I strive to make my home a sanctuary where other faggots feel safe and cared for.
Welp. No MFF room in the lottery for me. I'd like to get at least one break this year.
Today, I ended up going to urgent care for a bruised rib, and my wife ended up going entirely separately for a broken toe. I would really like today to be over now.
For at least two years, @kjatar.bsky.social has been poking me to play Outer Wilds. I finally started playing it last week. I just finished the base game. Words can't describe the experience that was.
I started HRT 10 years ago today. Hard to believe it's been that long; it's been one of the best decisions of my life. My pre-transition self would be amazed at who and where I am now.
This is the big feeling I take away from furry conventions, every time
I'm camping with friends this week, and it's really reminded me how much I've needed this. I've been dealing with Heavy Shit continously since January, and it's been wonderful to reconnect with those close to me and remember what I need this week.

Really proud of have been a part of @furfest.org once again this year, and for #furfest24 I joined the Theming & Publications team to bring the Great MFF Heist to life. Hope everyone at the con had an absolute blast, and that you enjoyed everything we put together. <3
Back home safe. Thanks to @furfest.org and everyone I saw for an incredible time! It was, as always, a complete blast.
