Tufty Indigo

@jayhulmepoet.bsky.social FYI, the UK's largest My Little Pony convention is in The Venue this weekend just around the corner from St Nick's. You may see some weirdly dressed people!

Chinese curses led me to believe these interesting times would be much worse.

What are the gay equivalents of a wife guy? A wife wife? A guy guy? Curious foxes need to know.

You don't believe in miracles? What if I told you I arranged to meet someone at 10 this morning, and both parties arrived at 10 sharp having correctly understood how to put our clocks back an hour?

I "liked" one thirst-trap photo of a medium-build furry guy today and now my For You is entirely fatfurs content. Can everyone please remember only to like stuff that I like if you never like anything I don't like? It's ruining For You for me

Gaming hot take: co-op games should have matchmaking & after each game ask how much you want to play with those people again, then use a recs system to find you new friends to play with.

Really not a fan of the "kink jars" meme. I fear it holds back new kinksters from learning that kinks don't come from a menu, they come from inside you. Kinks are ticklish spots. Some are more common than others, such as armpits, but if you only look in the common places, you might miss yours.

Interviewer: Can you explain this gap in your CV? Typographer: It was bigger in the 1st draft because I set the kerning for a C glyph with a much bigger beak, but readers kept reading it as two words, so I closed it up. Interviewer: Thanks, and do you have any more examples of your work?

This is the best graph I've seen all day. It could only be improved if the "Chinese" node were "Chinese (simplified)" and the rightmost node were "Chinese (traditional)"

In C23 variables have pronouns and misgendering is undefined behavior. And no you can't just always use they, smartass. It literally won't compile

Kinda disappointed that there was only one black person at the anti-racism gig last night, but it does kinda reflect Cambridge's demographics. There were more Asians, but that also reflects CB's demographics...

Why has nobody drawn art where someone gets TFed into the con's cardboard cut-out for people to stick stickers on, for the duration of the con? I feel like there's an audience for that but the furry art market is very inefficient.

Kink pony pub, I'm gonna keep romancing at the

I am just getting ready to go to a work charity/networking event all afternoon, and I wish I were on my way to Pawsome instead... ideally with some buckets and a paddling pool in the boot like last year.

You can only call it a vegan burger if it comes from the Veganburg city of Germany, otherwise it's just a sparkling nut roast.

I'm not there this year 😭 but apparently if you want to learn typesetting, Pawsome is the place to be!

Thanks @vscode.dev survey. I got to this question, realised the numbers didn't go up high enough for me, and now my back hurts.

Do favours for allotment gardeners. They all have way too much veg and/or flowers for their own needs and are looking for any excuse to give away the excess.

Yesterday I spent two hours shifting heavy blocks around and swam a k. Took my blood pressure right after getting up this morning and my pulse was 51. Might be getting a teensy bit overtrained.

With all the news of AfD doing well in elections, somebody gotta get a copy of this poster for Nigel Farage's office

If things weren't always scuffed, SNAFU would be called SNAOK.

I would file this under "don't ask questions because you want to know the answer; ask questions for the side-effects". Forcing people to measure their own behaviour against what they claim to value is a worthwhile side-effect.

How to get a vocal track consisting entirely of wind noise: Nah seriously, this is great work and I'm just a sound fox with mixing trauma.

TIL that while I have often fantasized about having an orgy as a birthday party, it's a lot of work that I am just not ready to invest the time into. And I only have so many birthdays left before "a bowel movement and eight hours' sleep" sounds like a great way to celebrate them.

I should call him

My "certified not stimky" tank top has furries sticking their muzzles in places that are already perfectly described by the tank top.

After seeing all the #fcf nude selfies on Friday, it's hard to see nude selfies today tagged #mcm without reading it as "mid cock Monday"

Stretching the five-second rule today. I stood on something in my bare feet. Picked it up and realised it was a bit of pistachio I was eating last night. Om nom nom. Putting my foxy immune system to good use :-)

It's hard to watch WarGames today knowing that the only part of Matthew Broderick's role that hasn't been replaced by AI is getting caught in his bedroom with his shirt off.

Median SF tech employee: I love my trans friends, want more immigrants, hate Nazis, think climate change should be our highest national priority, max donate to Ds in every swing state Senate campaign, and sleep on bags of gold Median SF “progressive”: we cannot possibly ally with these people

Formalises u making u big and Lean

Actually it’s Command that is the most dangerous! (in reality Green Shirts). 😁🖖

90 years ago, Parliament responded to the rise of Oswald Mosley's Blackshirts by passing the Public Order Act, which banned political uniforms, private militias and the threat of force for political objects. The debates make very resonant reading today. Here's the Liberal Robert Bernays. (Short 🧵)

Happy #fursuitfriday ! Big thanks to @aberacon.wales for being amazing last Sunday and @smogwolf.bsky.social for capturing some of my silly musics

It's Bandcamp Friday, which means it's the best day to buy my charity album of synth music from 2020-21. My share of the money (i.e. minus payment fees) goes 100% to Mermaids. Note: it's all synthy, no accordion. tuftyindigo.bandcamp.com/album/music-... CC @keenswh.com

Pollution levels in London after 10 years of advancing sustainable transport.

Got dragged out to a karaoke night last night so I "honoured" Tim Curry by murdering I'm Going Home.

well now I *have* to finish my accordion arrangement of every song in the Rocky Horror Show, don't I? yes, even Once in a While

If pre-heating the oven were called "pro heating" because it's what pros do, people would be twice as likely to do it consistently.

SUP at Milton Country Park again today. Lake is so low the gulls that look like they're sitting on the water are really standing on the bottom. Most of the lake now too shallow for any watersports, incl the launch jetty.
