trauma, bullying, anxiety 

On my way home from work on Thursday I found myself giving a group of loud people a wide berth.

They weren't doing anything wrong, they were just enjoying themselves, but I felt so anxious being near them at all and I felt like I was back in school with a group of bullies coming towards me.

It dawned on me that I was reliving the trauma of my childhood. I know that the likelyhood of anything happening now is slim but it was hard to keep my cool.

Came across this recently, and reminded of it just now when I had to remind myself I can just say 'sorry for the delay getting to this' without adding 'I had lots of meetings/was swamped/etc'. #trauma #ptsd

When someone you know is just starting to experiment with their first fursona and get involved with furry spaces, it's your solemn and sacred duty to send them a photo of their favorite animal every day and say "it you"

AAAAA

@VeeTheGator REALLY outdid themselves! They did all of the texturing and mesh edits and now the VR Goon is REAL!

Thank you SO much!

Hmmm, job suddenly has a time limit of sorts. The contract is due to finish in 2027, along with the closure of the building I’m based in.

Though I’d likely get an offer of being TUPE’d into the new company, I’m not sure I want to start commuting to Leeds again.

I think it’s time I start planning for a new career to coincide with that. 🤔

Microsoft's carbon emissions up nearly 30% thanks to AI

Company will require certain suppliers to run on 100% carbon-free electricity ... by 2030 Microsoft has increased carbon dioxide emissions by nearly 30 percent since 2020, making its goal of becoming carbon-negative by 2030 even more difficult, and it looks like AI is to blame.…

I can’t get over how good this looks with movement and how not difficult to get it this way it ended up being!
Haven’t had a chance to work on this for the past two days, but after tonight I’ve got five and a half days to work on it and The Dark Knight helmet! 💜 computerfairi.es/@renbymon/112

Been addicted to Robotnik's Ring Racers to the point of almost getting a tendinitis. :V

You are Good.

You may be a good person, a good creature, a good system, a good doll, a good bot, or anything else you have discovered about yourself.

No matter what you are, know you are a Good one.

Thank you for being kind, sweet, considerate, gentle and/or strong for those who need it, loving, passionate, and so very much more. You make a real difference in this world. I am so proud of you from the bottom of my heart. Be proud of yourself too.

Every step you take is one step closer to scaring away the evil that permeates the world in its darkest corners. Keep going for all of us, including you, and never give up being a force of Good in this world.

💙💙💙

LRT: I was too young to understand or remember the debate when S28 was introduced, but it affected my whole school career. The climate of ignorance around homosexuality meant I never had the experience of dating, kissing, falling in love, and learning about myself as a schoolboy nor as a uni student. I suppose I should be grateful that today's twentysomething gays don't know that this kind of oppression by the state wasn't just inherited from history, but was created during my lifetime. However, that means they don't recognise just how bad it is that today's government is using the same playbook again to oppress transgender people.

In May 1988, legislation passed in the UK "prohibiting the promotion of homosexuality" by local authorities. It was in effect for a decade and a half, with massive impact on the LGBT+ community. This is a brief history of Section 28.
