A quick financial update as we finish up our accounting:

EMF 2024 cost £575k to organise, and despite some unexpected costs due to the wet weather, we made a surplus of about £20k. We're a non-profit, so all the surplus goes towards making it easier to run future events.

The swap shop collected £3,220.95 in donations, which we've rounded up to £3.5k and split equally between Medical Aid for Palestinians and Gendered Intelligence.

We're planning to publish the full financial details on our website soon.

Another reason that I really want to lose weight is because I want to wear skin tight costumes and I hate how my gut looks when I do wear them

Especially wanna be the boy Wolfrun 💜💜💜💜

Multipass! Sorry, Multiviewer!

Much more appropriate wallpaper for the SPARCStation IPX. Getting the symmetry right for tiling was a bit of a pain in `bitmap`. Took a couple of attempts, and originally went for the original non-angled sun logo.

Something sinister lurks in the depths of planet Tallon IV.

Every time I see fedi meta drama involving some admins or mods, and people blaming the fediverse itself for this, I can't help but think

"I feel you, I'm sorry you're in this mess, I hate this shit too-- but on a non-federated site like literally everything else, you would have no choice but leave the place entirely. Arguably this isn't a fedi problem, fedi actually handles this better than anything else would"

Though I wouldn't say that to anyone because I don't want to invalidate it

Slightly different angle showing the snow this morning.
