Car update, mental health (----)
Just got a call from the MOT place. It had failed with the front coils and it turns out that the bolt holding the suspension in place has siezed. They can go ahead but if the bolts snap then the car needs new wheel hubs and that's an extra two grand.
I've told them to go ahead as what can I do? If the coils don't get replaced then it fails it's MOT and is scrap. If the bolts snap then it's scrap. This is really frustrating. ;_;
I said everything is better with a mascot, right? 😁
I learned that Tyson Tan, the artist that, among other things, did the KDE and Krita mascot, also designed a mascot, Libbie, for LibreOffice, but the mascot contest was cancelled because stuff wasn't "professional enough" or something. BUT all his art was available, thus, I took inspiration by this (outdated) project https://github.com/sdomi/libbieoffice and set my own Libbie Splash & Icons with his artwork.
Download and info in reply.

I'm gonna be post happy today... between looking at retro site designs I can glean inspiration from, and figuring out what to use to generate a site.
This is one of the ones that stood out, really love it!

Mental Health (—-)
I’m so stressed out about politics and stuff right now (people who know me well will know why) that I just can’t read anything right now. I’ve been staying away from socials more than normal.
Capitalism is the fucking virus that’s ruining everything. I just want to live my life as who I am and that’s getting to be harder and harder.
Do you want to take better pics on your phone or know which accessories to buy?
I'm happy to announce I will be running my Photography 101 panel at Scotiacon on the Friday afternoon at 3pm.
It's for people of all skill levels from smartphone photography & handheld cameras too!
dream, kaiju
The end of the dream was kind of like one of those walk around haunted house experiences. Cyber Gomora was stomping towards me down a train aisle and I thought "ooh maybe I can touch the suit body a little on the shoulder". I moved out of the way as they came past but instead they grabbed me and held me against them. It was super vivid.
I thought it must just be part of the act but the hug was super firm and they just kept on hugging me and I hugged them back just before I woke up.
I just had a complete lapse of self control and adopted this character on the spot from https://www.furaffinity.net/user/jeanwoof/ 😂
Samantha is totally a child of the late 80s and early 90s and absolutely adores turn of the decade cars. They're a rednecky Suth'rn American butch lesbian who just loves bein' a dude. Jean based the car in that reference off the Volvo 480 which is the kind of weird turn of the decade car "Sam" loves. The car's a shitbox, but it's her shitbox, and she keeps it in good running shape.
A behind the scenes look that went into making a suit, this one being Shallic! It looks chaotic, but the results are worth it! #furries #furry #fursuiter #throwbackthursday

Okay so a bit more because I was half asleep and didn't write finished copying from my dream notes to here. While Cyber Gomora was holding me they roared at me softly and I understood it like it was English, saying "I've missed you" and "Don't forget that you're Cyber Gomora too" and when I looked down at my body I saw that I was! ^^
Seriously though, fedi was *built* by furries, trans and queer folk, disabled neurodivergent people.
This is *the reason* the culture here is what it is. Why CWs are a thing. Why image descriptions are a thing. Why privacy matters here. Why moderation tools not only exist, but are usable — and used.
If you had joined and asked yourself "wow, how come this place is so chill and kinda… nice?" — that's thanks to all the nice people from communities some people call "weird".
So #KeepFediWeird.
