I've been thinking a lot about changing my surname too as I really don't like my current one and I don't feel any attachment to it.

I've thought about something Nordic/Viking, as that is part of my cultural heritage (growing up in the part of Britain that was Danelaw centuries ago) but ugh the way that the right has co-opted a lot of Norse stuff is making me conflicted.

The past two nights I wrote a "thread reader app" for BlueSky.

Oh boy. The protocol is absolutely insane. RPC galore, responses are only partially typed. The docs are pretty much useless.

But the "funniest" part is this: there's no privacy. And I don't mean missing DMs.

All your posts are available through API endpoints. Without any authentication. By design.

The "invite-only" thing may have you think otherwise.

Here are my last 100 posts.

the "i would never buy an NFT, just think of all the energy they pointlessly burn through" crowd sure has come around fast on "haha i got ChatGPT to write a poem about my butt"

It's here! Cannot wait to read @JoeStrike's Furry Planet in full.

The wildest part is seeing my own book referenced in the first chapter!

Going to visit my Dad this weekend to tell him that I'm trans and that I'm going to be changing my name.

Then on Monday I'm submitting all the paper work to change my name. 💜🏳️‍⚧️

Decided to play Leon B after dinner and another A ranking! :3

Also unlocked Hunk and two of the special weapons but forgot to grab screenshots. ^^;

Kids in High School:
"I don't understand why I have to take biology, chemistry, and other basic science classes. When am I ever going to use this stuff in my life?!"

As Adults:
"Vaccines cause autism, GMOs are unsafe, climate change is a lie, the earth is flat, and chemtrails!! l've done my research. If you disagree with me, you're a sheep!!"

Koudelka, an RPG set in Wales, has healing potions that use red wine as a base. This is so incrediblely of the time (monks serving medicinal herbs in wine, and also tonic wines such as Buckfast) and kinda realistic that I had to take a screenshot.

I’m SUPER excited to introduce Percy today, now in fursuit form! He was made by @cfstudios (their first otter!) and they did an absolutely amazing job with him. I’m ecstatic about how he came out! 💙

Game cover recreation by TwoCue! twocue.art/ (erulla on FA)

Its a game from my childhood that I have so many fond memories of. It was 5 players, and many hours were spent playing with my secondary school classmates. Single player game is top notch as well.

Throwback to when the Photoshop icon was cool and a literal photo shop

It's not immigrants who are making your life harder.

It's not poor people.

It's not minorities.

It's not LGBT people.

All that other stuff is just to distract you from noticing the actual problem.

Go big or go home: 64MB 72pin 5V SIMM in a Bush IBX100. Absolutely pointless, 8MB is fine, etc, etc. #RISCOS

What's interesting (to me, as a bit of a typeface nerd) is there are two very similar versions on MyFonts:
ITC Officina: myfonts.com/collections/offici

Monotype Axel: myfonts.com/collections/axel-f

I'd love to hear the story there...
