i had this fever dream of an alien sphinx creature that had stony skin dorsal areas and supple vibrant luminescent blue ventral areas, tendrils on its back that let it manipulate magnetism and radio to fuck with electronics and communicate in radio, and an elephant-trunk-like grasping tail. Human-level intelligence. Hermaphroditic monotremes (hence boobies. yay boobies) who can't vocalize speech and need a resonating surface to induct on when speaking to a race that can't hear radio. The head thingies are fleshy, but leathery and tough, like the non-rocky bits of them. Their brain sort of extends into them. Not brain tissue but really dense nerve clusters that sort of function like... brain RAM? For doing all the radio translation. Like an inner ear but for processing EM.

They figured out magnet stuff like superconductors, gauss rifles, and workable maglev the way we figured out gunpowder, ballistics and rockets. They still haven't figured out like, planes, because they just yeet things with giant magnet cannons and the payload glides to a halt with deployable wings.

Partial lithivores, but otherwise carnivores. In the broad galactic scope they find kinship in humans for being fellow Deathworlders (from a home planet where every other creature has a biological switchblade built into it, and even the plants evolved toxin in their tissues). Humans think Whoooaa big kitty!!

The dreams I remember are VERY vivid yes. A mix of sleeping ideas and muttering them back to myself all day for several days.

The pictured specimen isn't entirely typical, the picture is 1: not done and 2: even she admits she's a chubby nudist. Will sit on your face for over-salted meat pies.

hey! i make music and code. recently ive started a devlog on cohost about making a game for nes. maybe someday i can make that stuff be what i do for a living! for now, i have to prostrate myself before the software industry. but if you wanna make it a little easier for me to make the stuff i actually care about, here's a gentle reminder that i have a ko-fi:

Writing code to #AMXradio is popping me back and forth between bursts of focused motivation and just wiggling my butt in my chair for several minutes.

12 out of 10.

Tonight we are lucky to have three new faces and one almost new face in the #ByteJam @lexbailey, @vurpo, @gij and Suule! And also @Violet on the decks. head on over to https://twitch.tv/FieldFXDemo at 9pm BST for some #demoscene #tic80 #livecoding

While you're waiting, come and join the crowd at https://twitch.tv/djh0ffman for some sweet beats!

I find it interesting how transphobes always have a problem with they/them non-binary identities until they need to "politely" misgender someone.

Dear people doing #Art and #PixelArt little reminder that adding alt text to your pictures isn't an obligation, but it's quite a kind detail specially for visually impaired people, and it's also a really common practice here in Mastodon.

So take that in mind when posting, you don't need to write something complex and long, even with simple descriptions of the image is more than enough, and by doing it even more people can enjoy your cool stuff!! 😄

Beaver Ailbhe eating gryph Ailbhe has been an idea rattling around in my head for a while now, and, well, you c- *UuUUaaAaaRRrRp~!*... goodness... you can see the result of that. x3

It's a fall coloured #fursuitFriday 🦊🍂

Mmm... this might make for a fun writing piece cncbxmxnxbcbx

Min-Su entices some poor mortal into a game of riddles, which the mortal promptly loses. The kumiho yanks their meal's soul out with their yeowoo guseul (the glass ball they always carry), musing that they have other ideas besides dinner.

They casually devour the mortal's body, enjoying the sensation of being so full... before moving onto other, more pleasurable fun with the soul they stole... ;3

Everybody knows about þe Just-World Fallacy by now, right? For today's lucky 10k or so, it is an implicit assumption of þe benevolence of þe status quo, þat everyþing has a good, or "just" reason for being þe way it is. Unjust systems which manage to outlast an entire generation, such as capitalism, gain a major inertia boost from þe Just-World Fallacy, simply for appearing as if it has been around forever, and is þerefore definitely doing someþing right, for it wouldn't be if it weren't, right?

I have observed a more insidious form of þe Just-World Fallacy as of late. One which one James Stephanie Sterling has undoubtedly noticed by now, at least subconsciously, else þey would not feel so compelled to reiterate points as much as þey do.

It is a Just-World on an individual level, an assumption þat people are reasonable and just, an assumption þat, any scandal þat breaks out, if given enough time, will be rectified reasonably, and said scandal won't keep simply perpetuating itself.

How many of you bought an Ubisoft game, even þough þey are harboring sex predators, because you felt like þey *surely* couldn't still be doing þat now?

How many of you bought a Blizzard game, even þough it's *run* by sex predators, because you felt, "oh, isn't Microsoft fixing þat?"

How many of you bought Starfield, despite what Beþesda did to its trans employee as soon as she came out (and, honestly, despite þe quality of literally every Beþesda title for þe last decade or two)?
