A wild raccoon appears! Formerly a deer mouse. Seattle area forest dweller. Therian. Mushroom whisperer.

📌 A bit about me: A raccoon (sometimes deermouse) that lives in the PNW forest. Your garbage and attic are safe from me, I want nothing to do with either. I forage and grow mushrooms, hike, travel, and try to make the most of life! Was therian before I was furry, and have been at it since 1998.

Driving home tonight I found a treasure trove of shaggy mane on the side of the road and grabbed some. When I got home, I walked around my pasture tearing off bits of them and tossing them around to release spores and hopefully turn in to mushrooms next year.

I haven’t seen a shaggy mane on my property in a couple years, since I had some earthworks done in the area they used to grow so fingers crossed this will help re-establish them here. If I hadn’t had alcohol earlier in the evening I’d have cooked some of them up as soon as I got home 🤤

It's been a while since I spent an evening after work on a project, but I had a really cool idea over the weekend that I really want to build and that inspiration was still there today. Feels good! Seems like the Bupropion is actually helping. Shame it takes such a high dose for me. 450mg!

The raccoons in Zootopia still wear the shock collars, not because they have to but because they’re kinky like that. (The muzzles too)

Listed some of my old Tesla memorabilia from my time working there on eBay and figured I’d share this mission patch from my work on the truck. Love it or hate it, the technology I worked on (steer by wire and 48v electrical system) were industry firsts and my experience has made me very valuable.

The patch features references to the redundant safety critical body controls (the “egg”, an internal name for an element of that), the steer by wire system (the steering wheel) and the 48V electrical system (the battery). PRSO 1 refers to “public road sign off”, which happened during the beta stage.

In today’s edition of “questions that only make sense in furry” I ask: How do you store your extra eyelids?? I have two pairs and the ones I’m not using just float around my room on the verge of being lost forever.

The opposite of “integrate” is “disintegrate”, but that’s too dramatic for mathematicians so they called it “differentiate” instead. We’re sitting here differentiating when we could be DISINTEGRATING! No wonder people think math is boring.

You know what’s worse than generative AI? People who insist they can spot generative AI. You can’t. Not anymore. The tells aren’t always there at this stage in the technology’s development. I hate genAI too, but every time you incorrectly accuse an artist of posting it you destroy their motivation

Twig
@twigmouse.bsky.social

Incorrectly accusing an artist of using genAI does more damage to a community of creatives than an artist (or anyone else) actually using genAI. As the tech continues to improve, we’ll lose more artists to burnout caused by incorrect accusations than to loss of income from reduced patronage. Stop.

20 y/o me would be relieved. By that age I was pretty realistic about what I was likely to actually achieve and I’ve done better than I thought I would. 14 year old me would be devastated. Everyone told me at that age that I’d be a tech CEO because I was in to computers during the .com bubble.

When I was in middle school, I’d buy a soda and under the cap it would sometimes say “FREE DRINK” and I could exchange it at a store for a free bottle. By high school it had been replaced by a code to enter in a website along with my contact info to check if I won. I never bothered after that.

How many times do I have to select "I never signed up for these emails" when unsubscribing for them to stop signing me up for stuff? I literally always uncheck the "subscribe me" box when checking out or making an account somewhere, and yet...

I’ve never held an animal as it died before, until today. RIP baby deer mouse found in my barn yesterday. I’m glad I was able to make you comfortable in the end.
