my old ass goes to theaters like straight people go to church
disconnecting from social media feels so good, I wish so much of my social life didn't exist on the internet. I'd unplug entirely if I could at this point if that didn't mean becoming a hermit (and even then, I think most people already consider me pretty unattached)
the foxtail grass was really pretty last week with the dwindling queen anne's lace and canadian goldenrod... also felt like drawing good ol Kevin
You see that lizard on the bus again, and would ask for their number if they didn't have their snout buried in a book all the time...
The Midnight remain one of my favorite bands to see live. there's a good mix of crowd enthusiasm and band energy that gets whatever venue they're in really buzzing. my fourth time seeing them and would easily see them another four times
Good morning. I wrote a little love letter about Haruomi Hosono's 23rd solo record. The old legend is still bursting with great ideas as he creeps up on octogenarian status. Thanks for all the music. Sincerely, 💌 pitchfork.com/reviews/albu...
Haruomi Hosono: Yours Sincerely
Read Shy Clara Thompson’s review of the album.

Say it with me now folks GOOD BOY, ALVI!
It's 9/11 so I get to remind people that Mimi was at ground zero canonically
such a fun experience seeing this movie on a big screen, especially with people who have never seen it
Mao@thatpurplecat.bsky.social · 3w agoit's so aggravating seeing pro gen AI software devs talk down to critics like we're children who just don't understand how AI can be used. no, I work in tech. my industry is embracing AI. the damage it's done by enabling my bosses to pursue bad ideas because Claude can build them outweighs any good
I've done enough in TotK that I'm at the, "lets fully upgrade every piece of armor in the game because there's nothing else to do" stage and I've fully embraced just duplicating materials with glitches because, jesus christ, what a slow, grindy process it would be otherwise
I've been thinking since I stepped down from FWA leadership about how much furry conventions have grown, and how much we now ask of the volunteers who keep them running. I decided to put those thoughts into words, and I'd appreciate it if you'd give them a read: gomi.gay/blog/26-09-0...
As Furry Conventions Grow, Our Expectations Need to Change
Furry conventions depend on volunteers giving extraordinary amounts of their time. As our events grow, we need to ask when that generosity becomes something our conventions depend on.

watched Wish last night and people are not ready for how that film is going to have a huge surge of fans in ten or so years when the five years olds who will realize everything is a reference grows up
I'm so SoH pilled, no randomizer, no buy (I've bought OoT like five times at this point, leave me alone)
if you work with programming scripts, please don't build all of your logic into a single calculation that gets triggered at every step like my coworker has been doing with all of her projects separate the logic into multiple calcs where it's needed, it's so much easier for other people to work on 😭
no surprise there. anything east of Arizona and Utah sounds way different to my ear
it's very funny to me that the reward for doing all the shrines in TotK is just a fursuit
let me explain to you what is on each level of the convention center #fursuitfriday 🪡 @citrinedragon.bsky.social 📸 @sootkobold.bsky.social
