Hyatt to furlough US corporate employees with hotels shut bloomberg.com/news/articles/20
ICYMI, the Hyatt Regency O’Hare has closed their doors through June 1. Spare a kind thought for all our friends there who’ve worked so hard to help Midwest #FurFest succeed over the last 10 years.

Can anyone recommend a resource on learning to open up and talk about burnout publicly?

It seems like most of us deal with burnout by avoiding our Hell Project and quietly trying to sneak away *or* drop-kicking it publicly in a way that leaves our communities worried about the future.

Maybe someone can stories or guides on how we can improve and be more vulnerable with the people we care about?

It's amazing how these are clearly distinct at a distance and easy to remember

Etsy shop launch, begpost, COVID-19, please boost 

Hey everybody.

I told my manager I'm not coming in during the COVID-19 stay at home order, whether or not corporate thinks we're essential.

In the meantime, I'm setting up an Etsy shop to sell zines and hopefully support myself from here on out.

Each zine is $5, and I'm offering free shipping to the US. I plan on selling digital download-and-read PDFs soon as well. I've got two zines so far with more to come as the week goes on.

Any sale helps me out tremendously, thank you!

Miq: wait what?? Half life Alyx is out?? Oh dang I gotta get that!
Me, standing right in front of the Oculus rift we have had for nearly a month now: ...?
My brain: ... Oh right, yeah. *Flips on memory switch*
Me: ?! Oh right shit we HAVE a vr headset don't we?

good point: There's a huge plush beanbag furniture item that's an anthro rabbit Amiya! It's even got her coat and everything! It's adorable!!
bad point: ...it was only available to people who pre-reg'd for the open beta ;w;

...better point: There's an etsy listing for a REAL WORLD tiny little bunny plush of Amiya and it's bloody adorable.
slightly bad point: There's only 3 remaining ;o;

...crap can't remember if I took my pills five minutes ago or not. I have a vague memory of taking them out of their respective boxes etc, but... now I don't know where the ones I took out (if I indeed DID take them out) are... and I do not at all remember swallowing them...?

Oh wait... Wait a second. There's JAPANESE audio for the VA! fuck it I'm putting that on. The English va track is pretty bad. Again I'm pretty sure it's a direction problem rather than the actors themselves.

As for the girls, Reizs, Jessica (I think that's her name?? I always forget) and even Charlotte are exceptionally well rendered and animated too. Visually, the game is a real treat. The combat and movement are awesome as hell and there are so many really nice quality of life improvements that it's really worth checking out...

It just... Feels like it's let down by some really minimal effort feeling additional stuff, and whoever directed the VAs needs a slap I think.
