58 days ago: Funny how it took so long for me to make a robot fursona when I've loved robots my whole life.

56 days ago: Is it weird how cosy identifying as a robot feels??

2 days ago: How much of my dysphoria is less gender-related and more just... human-related?

Today: ...Fuck, I'm posthuman identifying aren't I.

bit heckin hot, innit

awoo

New, clickbait-y blog post: Furry websites have trash accessibility (and it’s not their fault)

https://berly.kim/blog/2022-06-28-furry-websites-have-trash-accessibility/

Hey furries,

What information would you find useful when it comes to learning about and implementing web accessibility?

I wanna know what'd be useful to write about!

It's hot day baybeeeeeeee

It turns out it does a way better job if you say you want an illustration (or are just way more specific in general)

Trying to make DALL-E create my fursona.

Being robot is kinda weirdly validating feeling right now?

Not sure why exactly, other than maybe the re-occurring realisation that I've hated my flesh prison for most of my life and robots are pretty darn neat.

It's a bit of a quirk of the civil service in general that pay grade is directly tied to hierarchical seniority.

I basically leapt directly into a senior-ish position by virtue of it being a specialised role that commands a high-ish salary.

This table weirds me out because if I were in the military I’d apparently be equivalent to a captain or colonel and that seems like way more responsibility than I actually have.

I get that Opera is probably one of the most struggling browser vendors still around but them launching a crypto-integrated version of their browser is just 🤮

can i get uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Something I've noticed to be sorely lacking from a lot of fandom spaces is accessibility knowledge.

Like, the websites for groups and conventions and such tend to be pretty garbage on the accessibility front, which seems weird when a lot of those fandoms are home to neurodivergent and disabled people.

I wonder if there's something that can be done there?

I had their seafood basket-sounding thing, which turned out to contain entire fish and giant prawns.

For lunch today I went to a market stall that specialised in seafood.

I did not anticipate how hard they went into seafood.

Crab burger? Oh so it's like a patty made of various ingredients, including crab meat? Haha, nope, it's an entire softshell crab in a burger.

I remember back when Firefox 4 was first announced and damn I thought it looked so cool.

And I still do. Shit looks cool as hell.
