I've just had the worst idea

Run what appears to be a regular numbers station, but occasionally interject with "that's numberwang!" every so often

@HereticSoul @Gaypow it felt like a very Blizzard-style attempt at representation.

"hey, we used your thing and didn't make a punchline of it, isn't that great!"
"okay but could you-"
"nah"

@HereticSoul it really is! every dog in the fandom is a gshep or husky, with the occasional showings from dobermans, shibas, and corgis. maybe a mastiff for the bara types.

where's the super lanky greyhounds?
or sheepdogs?
or water dogs?

poodles that aren't fluff-groomed! athletic terriers! there's so many options.

@HereticSoul have I given you the rant about how furries don't take nearly enough advantage of all the dog species available?

@Gaypow if what you’re feeling bad about isn’t a debt problem, do it!

furry shit is fun, and the money goes to people who deserve it too.

mastodon meta, tepid take 

@codl a community manager would be good, yeah.

it's still not easy....I can guarantee you that any attempt to develop anything would get shouted down by tons of people who didn't want it. It's a wearying role.

Of course, in just about every alternative social media platform, the company just dumps "great news! likes are now florps" on you with zero feedback room anyway. so it doesn't feel that *different* to me.

I totally agree with your point though.

mastodon meta, tepid take 

@codl it sucks, but what's the alternative?

(also, I missed the source of the original take - are people mad about release features for usability, or server admin/upgrade hassles? for the latter, it's a little more reasonable to ask a server-admin to be aware of feature development.)

Birds are weird but at least they have a sens of (bad ?) fashion which is pretty cool 😋

Just saw a dog trotting down the street, carrying a skateboard in its mouth by the axle.

@HereticSoul his eyes fixated on the quest objective marker, wondering why nobody else can see those.

@HereticSoul our town is *all* about them, so it’s really inconvenient to dislike them :p

They’re still great beers, they just got overhyped and people treated them like a universal flavor.

@confusedcharlot when I first tried it for a cosplay, it was definitely strange!

Claustrophobia didn’t really kick in for me, because you can still see and move, it’s just...slightly dampened. heavy. and very warm.

personal furry timeline (names) 

One of the big challenges I had with taking so long to join the fandom was picking a name. I think 80% of furries, when asked how they chose their handle, respond with "well, uh, I was 15 at the time".

"Zenith" was one of the first two names I came up with, and I'm holding onto the other one for another character in the future. I'm quite happy with it!

personal furry timeline (shorter version, 2/2) 

- FC 2017: I actually decide that I should make a fursona, and start really mulling over design in my head. It all finally clicks together and I put together Zenith, then properly bring him to life at BLFC.
