Sewing day - A saga

- Ahh yes the old sewing machine, trusty device to save my hands from pain.

- Sewing machine why do you not feed the fabric??? Please be a team player!! I have a deadline!

- Ahh a trip to the shops in rush-hour traffic~

- Sewing machine, meet your new brother!

Unlike my fursuit head the Dark Knight helmet isn’t coming on as well; pits of filler that I wasn’t able to get rid of and with the time crunch I’ve had to just bite the bullet and go with what I’ve got now.

Putting on the primer now and then the main colour goes on tomorrow.

Starlink is killing Hubble

Something about this plan to move Hubble, didn't make sense. If the telescope still has 10 years of useful life, why the need for SpaceX to boost it's orbit now?

Well it turns out the main thing threatening the utility of Hubble is... wait for it... SpaceX Starlink satellites, which orbit just above Hubble constantly "photo-bombing" the images. Within a few years there will be so many Starlinks that Hubble will be useless.

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!

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.…
