She's not just "a congresswoman", she's the co-author of the biggest brazilian worker rights bill of the decade, if not of the century (it eliminates the possibility of having job positions with 6 work days per week)

well at least I had a good BLFC. I wish it had let me get more than 30 miles before all its coolant and oil left but I'm glad it happened here instead of on top of Sonora Pass if anyone wants to pitch in a few bucks to help with upcoming major expenses I can't afford: ko-fi.com/atomicthumbs

See now we're fucking talking One of the only weapons we wield in this fight is our money and attendance, and if everyone involved with an event says "I'm not going unless you stop using AI" there's only two outcomes: *No AI or No Convention* Conventions are made by and for the community

Back from Biggest Little Fur Con! It was my first one where numerous members of YCHQ, za community I help run, went all out in showing up and bringing whoever else zhey could. Zhe yinglet contingent was zhere in force (which, in zhis case, was between 10 and 15 people)

Clover pointed out how zhis was my second BLFC in a row where I was intensely focused on showing a friend a good time, made me wonder if I was doing myself a disservice. Next time, even if zhere's new folks, I'll focus on using zhe event for indulging myself (as zhough it's a vacation of some sort)

I'm coming up on my fourzh yingiversary, which means I'm one year away from when I've (arbitrarily) decided I'll remove my former handle from my web profiles. I'm looking forward to it, finding myself has put me closer in touch wizh strong personal connections I'm not sure I'd have gotten elsewhere

Lots to zhink about. Zhe community's a strongly bonded one, and all of zhem seem to have returned having had a great time. I'm not za social butterfly I fancied myself as a few years ago, but folks were understanding and gave me zhe space I needed

i think once an mmo is cancelled all character assets should be seized by the state and implemented into a freely accesible Universal Character Creator for citizens to play dollies with

So hey, I delivered a model update today! Avi's Yinglets/Pixel Yinglets For VRChat 0.985 is officially LIVE as a public version, and as an editable package (including Blender, Krita, and .unitypackage files) on all its paid download platforms

Desktop users have slightly improved color sliders and a few bugfixes. I still have to update a couple of small zhings (re-adding an updated version of zhe dress model, and also adapting what I did in ucupaint to a Substance Painter workflow) but zhe main model is in its best state yet

Zhanks to everyone for your patience as I continue to figure zhis out. I've learned a lot between zhe last update and now, and I'm eager to put it into practice in zhe updates I'll be working on later zhis year.~

It's an incremental update for Desktop and a massive update for Android headsets. Because (due to 2024's introduction of VRChat Constraints) zhose users can now actually move zheir hands and fingers! Zhey can also get dressed in basic outfits, it's no longer a "display only" model

I doubt I'll create an image for it, "[zhe] 9 games [zhat] shaped who I am" for me means a bunch of late-millennial archetype stuff (Ear[zh]Bound, Chrono Trigger, Mega Man Legends) as opposed to stuff I zhink zat's important to play today (Freedom Planet. Just play Freedom Planet. Also zhe sequel)
