Actually *would* anyone know why Mastodon on phone would swap out user icons freely? I think it might be some sort of glitch where I should update it or something

oh YEAH it's the Horrifying Furry Bloodbath song!

*Lawrence Fishburne voice*

Take the blue pill and you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. Take the red pill, soak it in water overnight, and you’ll have a tiny Stegosaurus.

@electrickeet you’re not going to believe this, I swear I’m not usually that badly ditzy, but it was actually your post but because Mastodon swaps out user icons on my feed and I wasn’t looking close enough, I thought my friend @chimerror made that post and got all excited!

Since it's going to come up a lot anyhow, I'll make a more general post about it....

The Furnace chiptune tracker – tildearrow.org/furnace/ – is responsible for my sudden burst of music-making I last year (and a little this year). It's the classic Amiga MOD style of music creation, but with a much more modern UI. It's designed to create music for over sound chips from videogame systems and such. And I've contributed several demo tunes!

One caveat: It helps to know hexadecimal. Nerdy stuff. :)

I decided I was going to handle Rosh Hashanah by praying after work last night, then both working and praying today, so I got up at 6:30 today, and also hit some big emotional stuff related to the holiday and work I’ve been doing on my issues lately. Consequently, I’m pretty exhausted now.

LotR nerd stuff also yelling in all caps 

THE HELM OF HAND HAMMERHORN SHALL SOUND IN THE DEEP I mean… uh.. THE HAMMER OF HELM HORNHEAD I mean um.. uh. Er. FORTH EORLINGAS!

@Kusimanse weird, MLP is one of the "I don't like this" because I still parse the series as "intended for tween girls" and it feels like it's being coopted. I *really* don't like porn of Loona from Helluva Boss because my understanding of her isn't just that she's a kid but that she's sort of a tragic character.

just right now feeling very "there are several dozen largely internal issues I would like to resolve to go forward into a much happier life and I am running out of time, especially since I don't think I'm likely to survive the Trump second term which feels likely"

great, it's probably going to turn out that I got into furry in part because of my dumb gender issues?

it's weird, there are some recurring characters who I don't like showing up in furry porn. I don't think that's *objectively bad*, just *I* don't like it, usually because the character's stuff other than a complete horndog in original context. This is probably some sort of asexuality filter, and it's very probably connected to whatever unresolved gender issues I have.

yes, the Old West around 1865 or so

the stillness of the hot desert air broken only by grunting and whistling

and somewhere off in the distance the plaintive BOINNNGG! of a lone jawharp as it roams across the prairie.

oh YEAH the awesome part of Don't Fear the Reaper

you know the part that goes

DWEEDLEE DEE DEE DWA DWA DWOOOOO DOO
DOODLE DEEDLE DEE DA, DWIDDLEY DA DA DWOOO
WHAA WHA DOO DA DEE DUM
WHA WA DOO DA DA DUM

*listening to soundtrack *

Garthim soldiers! Go, kill the wabbit! I mean the Ringbearer! I mean the Gelfling!

There’s also SkekHung the Hypertrophic and their counterpart, UrMassiveNaturals. We try not to talk about them around the Gelflings.

mh related addedum; 

Nearly every negative assumption I have about the world is rooted in stuff people literally told me.

I used to believe I was a comic villain, stupid, inept, ugly, and ridiculous in my monstrous anger, because I'd basically been told this. I used to believe by contrast that others, especially the people who were handing me tasks, were these amazing folks who had everything together and who wanted to be here, because that's what I was told. I was handed this horrible view of unquestionable authority and unsurprisingly turned out maltheistic.

And a lot of the world is about to become a total disaster - frankly I've been told that too. In this case it *is* impossible to avoid some news and given possible implications of things like the election or new covid variants, it's hard not to catastrophize.

til "Hector's dolphin" as the same scansion as "tiny dancer"

thus improving the Elton John song by several dozen percent
