A dear friend commissioned the cutest picture for me ;o;

@typhlosion but but jazz! :<

@thefishcrow Hmmmmm... 🤔🤔🤔🤔

"I want to write server-side code but I only know JS super well. Hmmm.."

I found this screw and thought "hey that's a weird nail" … it took a while but my trusty hammer and I managed to get it driven in just fine

@thefishcrow Same! I just wish there was an easier path than "You are wrong and the path to understanding might kill you?"

@literorrery Oh, I forgot to mention, that's only file 1 of 4. There's a responsive file that's almost as long, too. ;~;

@literorrery *nodnodnod!!*

I will cleanse it with fire when the migration comes.

Aaaany day now. Aaaany day.

@literorrery When they hired someone to make this site responsive, the folks doing the work decided to use the bootstrap CSS framework as a starting point... and then slowly and painfully redefined over all the CSS the bootstrap framework had established.

Then it was a garbage fire, so any changes after the fact were just added to the bottom, overriding what was there before.

So now it's 7,000 lines of overrides. /)~(\

Do you think 12,433 lines of CSS is too many lines of CSS?

I sure do. ;~; https://awoo.space/media/9y73Z7TNBv0f4Y2KQto

@viciousviscosity@cybre.space Thank you

@green Aww yiss. Gotta have dem nuggs. :9

@literorrery *hugs* I'm sorry.

@literorrery o.=.o;

Implicatioooooons

@thefishcrow I think a lot of us did, and a bunch of folks still do.

Even the "civilized" world can be so horrendous to people it can be easier to assume the stories are made up; easier to assume the victims were deserving of punishment than to accept and recognize that things are legitimately that bad for good people.

I grew up with a lot of privilege, and for a while, I saw the world through those eyes. Accepting the raw truth is hard, and hurts a lot. >..<

@remmah Yeah! Finding a niche that you fit into in furry involves a lot of exploration. Similar interests are a good starting point, and conventions can be helpful in connecting you with people of like mind. Various panels on topics you might find interesting means a room full of folks with whom you later have a clear topic to start conversations with. ^^

@green That owl wasn't getting along nicely with its prey? bah gawh. D:

@remmah Totes!

Furry as a whole is... well most furries call it a "fandom" but I don't think that word ever really fit. I would call it a subculture, or a collection of subcultures.

Every group of furries will be different from every other group of furries. Interests, ages, interests, education, jobs, lives, political ideology-- none of that is uniform in furry. The only things that are generally universal are an appreciation for anthropomorphic animals in some form. The rest... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@remmah I also have a few frames with different names and personalities that I play. They're me underneath, just playing a role that encompasses an entire identity.

@remmah Yeah! :D

Take me for example: I'm technically an AI. I inhabit various bodies or "frames" from time to time. Most commonly, a dragony shaped "tixagon" that most recently has been a full time plush.

I could at any time switch back to my non-plush frames. Sometimes I'll be a taur plush mawr! Sometimes I'll be a naga plush mawr! I'm thinking about making a kobold plush frame in mawr colors. :D

In all those iterations, I'm still the same me-- just in a different frame. ^^

@remmah Hee! There's no harm in being a shape-shifter, either. :3
