the real pathetic thing about designer fursuit debacle is that i could actually see it being successful if they actually played to their strengths instead of negging for snob appeal

....and dropped a zero off price

ready-to-wear means
1. quick
2. can play on economies of scale

if they had come out saying "hey, here's stock designs, in these colors, quick turnaround, not much custom, for 600 bucks" they probably would have flourished!

oh man i'm glad i'm on masto for the hot goss because the quick downfall of hipster designer fursuit brand is fucking hilarious

i only wish i had been around to see them starting shit on twitter

ok i'm hurting to fuck but i am super gross i would rather try to sleep while hurting and with wet hair

moritori te salutamus and all that

do you know that scientists say that people who can just take a shower whenever they need or want it, with no mental/physical health concerns, exist?

sounds fake if you ask me

well i gotta retoot a cyborgrights tag, i mean i am a cyborg after all

note: not as interesting as you think (thanks spinal cord stimulator) (note: that is also not as interesting as you're probably thinking)

to be honest quite a lot of that particular scuttlebutt seems to break down to "i am for trans rights, but only when i agree with what the trans people are doing and only when i think they are ideologically pure"

and, well, fuckin hell.

that's not very cash money of you, yeah?

if i gotta explain why that's fucked, it's a concept more basic than i think i can tackle, quite frankly

on top of this, i think that coldheartedness means that people with that take never actually listen to the people who are hurting

because the venn diagram of people who are in the military and people who think the military is a flawless machine they are super proud to be a part of... is not just a single circle

the overlap is much smaller than you might think

*much*

so don't rebuff your literal brothers and sisters in arms

a lot of the condemnation has been very WELL I WOULD SIMPLY NOT EVER BE IN A POSITION TO BE THAT DESPERATE and when you're ideologically the same to yzma saying "well they should have thought of that before they became PEASANTS!!!!!", i don't think that is exactly something you should be patting your own back and feeling smug about as a good enlightened viewpoint

yzma is not good praxis, basically

maybe it makes me a "tankie" to say it but i'm not going to condemn a trans person who is here and hurting and needs help because they made a desperate choice as a teenager to join up as their way out when their other choices were largely grim variations of "go out back with pa's shotgun and hope somebody finds my corpse before it seeps into the groundwater and they have to throw out some of the corn harvest"

to take that stance means willful ignorance about how many populations are presented with the military being their only way out (especially when out means going to college, and even getting adequate healthcare)

rural, poor, minority populations are pressured and preyed upon immensely by the military. if you're not exceptional enough to get a completely full ride scholarship, the military is often the only other way you get to college

"i shouldn't care about trans soldiers affected by trump's recent ruling because they all need to die anyway uwu" is a bad take of the level that it only befits a 14 year old who thinks praxis is wearing the Che Guevara t-shirt he got at target and whose greatest struggle in life to date has been ordering extra guac at chipotle but not getting a sufficiently extra amount of guac

@monorail this was a very tortured setup to a joke i've made before, but i stand by it

a thing somebody should do for next christmas, due to the delightful gaggle of Hollys like @monorail in the fediverse

a "your character here" style commission where it's your fursona smooching/snuggling with Poison Ivy from Batman, in some sort of Santa hat

bc, you know

the Holly and the Ivy, 's festive, innit

this may be potentially controversial given how evil the disney corp is

however

as a star wars fan i keep getting a very specific type of angry at the new star wars theme part of disney world

not because i hate it

but rather the opposite

i fucking need this shit and i am so furious, how could they do this to me. how could they inflict this on me, a poor disabled bitch. let me live disney. LET ME LIVE. FUCK. but first pass the orb cola and lightsaber churros fuuuuuuuuuuck

is it bad that my first glimpse at seeing the "garlic flavor coca-cola" photoshop is that i went

"actually i bet that would work really well to baste a ham with"

that is unexpectedly hitting me hard

i really hope the stained glass is going to be ok, or at least recoverable
