@vahnj @Efi like anything and everything on the scale from "i like dragons sometimes" to "I LITERALLY AM A WOLF" can be part of furry as a thing, if you want

(sadly, the artist who makes the masks I really covet didn't answer an email. I'm trying to figure out what the next best thing is.)

So, prompted by another thread:

I don't really want a fursuit, and especially not a fursuit head. What I want a face covering that explicitly reads as a mask.

It's a weird reverse thing? To me personally, a fursuit head that tries to be as realistic as possible would still feel like costume. A mask, however, acknowledges my embodied human form while being a reflection of a deeper underling animality.

Hey, just so people know - AFAIK, the inability to edit toots is a tech issue.

Because of the way federation works, once your toot leaves your home instance it gets stored on each instance it touches (if you have a follower on kitty.town, say, k.t gets a copy of each toot your follower can see).

But other instances aren't obliged to check back to see whether a toot has changed.

So it's better to have a single "canonical" version of each toot than edited mutant toots wandering the federation.

Okay y'all I want to be able to recommend instances off the top of my head to people when pitching them on joining Mastodon.

I feel like I roughly understand awoo dot space. Y'all, what about your instance makes it compelling or particularly suited to particular people?

i'm eating some extravagantly artificial candy & musing on someone's comment that "the natural habitat of humanity has not yet been created". it occurs to me that i find veganism more interesting than paleo diets because it dovetails with that idea, that rather than try to recreate, in modern circumstances, the diet of an era we inevitably misunderstand & politicize, we should instead ask how we can best nourish ourselves with what we have now, with minimal cruelty & maximum sustainability.

I use "primary partner" as a descriptive term, not a proscriptive one.

And even then, the contexts where it's actually useful are kind of limited.

...crap, I might need to actually figure out how to make this instance now??

Instance idea:
Void Screaming, an instance that federates with nobody and deletes posts after some short-ish number of hours. Go there if you need to rant or vent or scream or whatever but don't actually want to do so anywhere visible to your freinds or primary audience.

So before I was thinking my memory was pretty bad and kind of irritating, but this trip it's coming out more that my memory is a sieve and is actively causing distress for me and people close to me.

And I don't know if I can fix it.

Fuck :(

WicDiv drinking game: 

Every time there's a new reverse shot of a character drenched in blood, finish your drink.

Archetypal kink activities for each MTG color 

White: highly structured D/s scene where you have to address the top as 'sir'.

Blue: meticulously planned suspension bondage.

Black: getting strung up an on a St Andrews Cross, whipped, and begging to be hit harder.

Red: tearing each others clothes off in the backseat of a cab.

Green: hosting an orgy for your freinds.

Me: "2017 is a crock of shit, but it does have some gay-ass videogames."

A thing I am discovering: coffeeshops in New England are a whole different species from coffeeshops in the PNW.

(... also I have in fact now started referring to Dunkin' Donuts as "dunkies".)

Here's a 4k word blog post about the colors, and the pairings of ally colors.

I think it misses a lot by not also discussing the pairings of "enemy" colors, which can be pretty dang interesting.
