Fursuit/DTD question! Do folks know if gaffer tape is interchangeable with duct tape for DTD purposes? B&Q refer to them synonymously, but I think they're slightly different. Any input appreciated c:

They're a breeding pair roosting in a neighbour's eves, and I can't tell them apart through the curtain, but I love them both very much π
And the fuzz is from the voile curtain - I'm not going to disturb it and scare them off, after it's taken months for them to finally get comfy with the feeder.
(Yes there's a fair bit of debris, I need to clean it once they've gone to bed.
UK starling perching on a clear plastic window bird feeder, against a blue background. It has an open beak as it's about to attack a fat ball.
Starlings have been really attacking the window bird feeder today. Really helps me take regular eye breaks, when I can see the local friends having a good peck π
My toad in the hole seems to be pregnant
Loooove lentils in a pasta bake, super comfy
Yesssss exciting! π
Yesssss, loving your rat!
BF and I both tweaked our backs doing dumbbell deadlifts, in separate rooms of the house, at the same time, during our respective workouts this morning. Taking same braincell to the next level π₯
Meet and chat with other fans and those interested in the art and media of hypnosis. Swirly Social CFZ 2026 23:00-0030 Friday 22nd May Third Stage (Library)
For anyone going to Confuzzled this year and has interest in hypnosis in any amount, I'll be running a meetup to talk methodology, art, stories and tropes of hypno! It'll be a chill social event with some silly games and ice breakers so I'd love to see lots of people! #CFZ2026
The roumblierest lions π
FUCK YEAH
The original Switch's huge library of games can finally not look like dogshit on the new screen.
Didn't expect Nintendo to actually add this!
In any case, I WILL be fine, it's just not fun being unable to relax within your own body. Much love, all.
Tonight has been the worst of it, possibly ever. I need to contact the GP about it in the morning, I think. I might finally look into OCD support - hadn't really considered that I might have it, but it does align with my situation quite well.
There's always been one factor that I can't do anything about: I can always feel my pulse, and I can't switch off when I'm thinking about it. Exhaustion helps bypass it for the initial dropping-off, but if I'm waking up from a dream and my mind's racing, it's impossible to clear my head.
I often fall asleep relatively easily, but once I wake up after around 5 hours, my brain starts to race and I can't get back to sleep. I try all the usual things: get some water, go for a wee, adjust my pillows, move limbs outside of the covers to cool down a bit, but nothing helps.
Here's Neopolitan the rat ππ¦ - an old 2019 fursuit made when I will still making suits as a hobby, now remade.
Its so nice to see how far my suits have improved since then ^ ^ I cant wait to see them in another few years
- completed 2025

Now married TO a blimp, that I can get behind :3
Looks amazing, need to try it next time! These photos may be pushing me to plan another trip... π
I genuinely love Friends, but I don't need some random Funko-like plastic when they could've done something like socks from the Grinch collab. (Not that that was perfect either haha)

Threw up in my mouth a little bit, thanks McD
Sending love wah π
Sounds like a very good day to me c:
Gates McFadden told a great story at a Star Trek convention I went to as a kid about Kermit goofing around with her props on a break between takes during her scene in βMuppets Take Manhattanβ and finally she goes βKERMIT, STOP THAT!β, like straight to the frog, and the whole crew lost their shit
the magic of the Muppets is that there are two fourth walls. they constantly break the one that reminds the audience they are performers. they NEVER break the one that reminds the audience they are puppets. this dynamic is the key to their entire comedy style
This is what I've been told by every medical professional or resource, no indication of the "week of ramp-up". Advice can change, but I think they might just be erring on the side of overkill.
Best of luck! Going full low-fodmap diet only helped by like 30% for me, not enough to justify excluding -everything that tastes good forever-!
Would be curious to know if you have any success with any of these, as someone who's tried a low-FODMAP diet with limited success myself. I guess, like with anything, it's impossible to know until you try it yourself, though!
