Yeah, it's really frustrating. I know some people are going back to Teamspeak but that's a weaker experience and you need to pay for hosting. Frankly, I'll probably just move to telegram for socialising online.
I keep seeing folks say they'll just accept a Teen Friendly account on Discord rather than scan or ID and I don't know if I wanna mass normalize leaving NSFW pals out in the cold yet again. Especially with all the censorship stuff goin on I think we gotta stand with the freaks now more than ever.
Yesterday I cooked a proper meal for the first time in months and my sweet partner @justasnowfox.bsky.social nearly made me cry at the table when they said it felt good to see me in the kitchen as they were coming home. 💜
It's so overwhelming to finally be somewhere safe and loving.
And meanwhile, Bluesky wants me to email them not only legal documents they have zero need for, but my face next to them to make it comically easy for identity thieves when they inevitably leak personal data or get hacked? Seriously?
I genuinely have no idea how they think it's appropriate to run a social media website this unprofessionally and haphazardly. Discord - who everyone is dogging on for various things - are still able to have a 3rd party partner handle ID verification via a service which never saves your ID.
Had my alt NSFW BSkyB suspended with zero warning for "spam behaviour" which apparently includes leaving one positive comment and sending one direct message, and the automated service is telling me to email them a picture of my passport being held up next to my face.
Some people have this remarkable ability to try and 'help' you with a creative project, and in the progress completely ruin the entire idea in your head... Ouch.
Somehow... Hayfever returned.
*Collective groaning*
Barclays has just confirmed they will harass and discriminate against their trans employees by limiting their toilet choices.
I’ve already transferred all my cash out and will be closing the accounts. You should do the same.
...I wonder if there's a niche to be the 'publicity person' for a bunch of artists, hmm
That looks luuuuuuush
When I finally put stuff up on the wall I kinda want those little red velvet curtains that go over portraits before they're unveiled...
Please don’t let this be another case of relegating supporting trans people to “trans people are so cool and valid uwu”
Support trans charities
Support trans artists
Speak up when you witness transphobia
Educate yourself on trans issues/community
Don’t be complacent
Stop supporting bigots
Even things like sleep, eating, keeping my stuff clean and being able to talk to my partner consistently have been disrupted. I won't go into vast detail but I am desperately trying to get back on track just so I can leave this horrendous environment and be somewhere safe and productive.
Frustratingly, my living situation right now is nearly the worst it's ever been. I've been trying hard to keep up with medication and looking after myself, but I have someone actively trying to sabotage me at every turn.
I've struggled with this double vision and pain for more than 10 weeks, now.
Sorry for disappearing off the face of the earth for a bit! I've been really struggling with these vision issues, and it's made it so difficult to do even basic daily tasks, never mind the stuff I really enjoy or important projects.
I think - I hope - I'm closer to getting better.
You finally had a good random encounter after rolling on the table!
After all those weird kids stomping on your door and the rest, too!
Trying to bring myself back to life a bit... I've been struggling, lately. Lots of ailments all cropping up at once, as well as some utterly horrible realisations about my home situation. I'm working towards improving all of it, but I spent the last two weeks only doing the bare minimum.
Big hugs. 💜

Many furries in fursuits of various species outside in Liverpool, gathered around a bench.
Had an amazing time today at Scousefurs! Finally got our first fursuit walk in at the new venue - up to the beautiful Chinatown gate here in Liverpool!
Can't wait for the weather to get warmer!
@scousefurs.bsky.social
being a furry doesn't mean having an expensive fursuit, going to cons, commissioning art, or VRChat, or whatever. it doesn't require any of those things. youre a furry when you see a picture of an animal and go "it me", or if someone sends you a picture of an animal and goes "it you"
This looks absolutely amazing!!!

Hell yeah! I hope the process goes super well for you, I just finished titration and got my Shared Care Agreement all sorted out and it's awesome
A post that reads "You remember #Apple scanning all images on your #mobile device? If you have an #Android #phone, a new app that doesn't appear in your menu has been automatically and silently installed (or soon will be) by #Google. It is called #AndroidSystemSafetyCore and does exactly the same - scan all images on your device as well as all incoming ones (via messaging). The new spin is that it does so "to protect your #privacy". You can uninstall this app safely via System -> Apps."
Putting this here for my fellow Android users.
On the train from Glasgow to Liverpool! I know the post-con sads will hit later, but right now. I just feel energised and inspired. #scotiacon was amazing and every con I go to always gives me that boost I need!
