Well howdy my esteemed bluesky mutual! I searched my transactions but I never saw anything actually come through for a shirt order. I just assumed you changed your mind. π

Well howdy my esteemed bluesky mutual! I searched my transactions but I never saw anything actually come through for a shirt order. I just assumed you changed your mind. π
Holy moly π₯΅
If I had a dollar for every time a brony had been accused of or had confessed to fucking actual ponies I'd probably have like 3 or 4 dollars by now which isn't much but it's fucked up that it's not zero.
Are you using some kind of conversion box?
Has anybody tried giving him his childhood sled yet?

Oh!! I had no idea you were still doing these or even opened up slots for them at any point?? I love this series and would adore having one but if you're going to stop I understand.
You do! I'm not denigrating you by omitting you - I just wanted a focused list for accounts that are NOT peoples personal accounts so that it's JUST journalism and very little else. If you ever started a second account that was JUST posting about folks music and nothing else I would 100% add it.
The NASA sweatshirt is so great.
And what gets me is that men believe this because they live lives completely devoid of historical context. If it was 1725, they'd be the hired farm hand (and still single) It if was 1890, they'd be the factory workers sleeping in coffins at night (and still single) Just detached from reality
THAT RULES WHAT A VIBE
Much like "crab", industrial music is constantly re-evolving from first principles basically anywhere where there's a bunch of metal and plastic laying about
so valid
I just wish Windows 11 was not AI-ridden.
"tolerable weather" for y'all in the south means bitter cold for us northerners
What's in October? π€
Let's be real here...
Happy Sheptember y'all π₯°
There are going to be some misses, of course, just by virtue of trying to come up with a comprehensive list that can sort of comprise the "pulse" of what indie music is doing these days. The community on here feels a little disjointed so I'm mostly trying to put it all in one spot.
Qualifiers here: "indie" means not tied to a big publisher or label. "Underground" would mean music that does not have a massive PR machine behind it or a massive label presence, though I did toss in some accounts that periodically talk about bigger/mainstream acts.
Hey I never publicized this, but if anyone is interested in this sort of thing: I've spent months off-and-on putting together a list of all the music reviewers/magazines/publications I could find on here. It's genre agnostic and includes no personal accounts. Up to 50+ bsky.app/profile/dnot...
Might have to settle for a room party with this one π€
I keep thinking about how much I would love to do a DJ set at a con that's just classic R&B, New Jack Swing, Electrofunk... The System, Midnight Star, Klymaxx, SOS Band, Bobby Brown (and of course Janet Jackson, The Jets...) ... but most con-goers would probably have no idea how to dance to it π

ONE WEEK SEE YOU SOON @furrymigration.org π¨ @coffinberry.bsky.social
Yep that was easy peasy. I guess we'll see if anything more comes up now.
Hmm... I think someone is trying to get into my Discord account I just got a text message with the code for 2FA and an e-mail with a password reset request π€
You did such a good job π Thanks for taking on such an oddball request (i.e. can you put a pipe organ in this)
Is this an olive branch? π€
Theyfriend? π€
Furries, I need your help. Temg, a childhood terminal cancer fighter, needs you now more than ever. He wanted to quit fighting until Furrydelphia and MakeAWish got him to his first con. Afterwards he told his parents he wants to continue fighting.
ONE WEEK SEE YOU SOON @furrymigration.org π¨ @coffinberry.bsky.social
I watched a dude last week go to the store to pick up exactly one watermelon.
To the tall queen I just saw wearing her cat-ears to the grocery store in the middle of the night: fuck yeah
Most people who run blocklists at some point go on a power trip and just start throwing accounts in there because they don't pass a vibe check. Spare your sanity by remaining ignorant of them.
I've had this happen because a mutual was subbed to a blocklist that I got chucked into. It might not be anything personal.
We used to post etymologies. We still do, but we used to, too.
I'm so tired of being in a symbiotic relationship with microscopic freeloaders! π€

You can only do so many "bits" before it becomes clear that you really believe this shit, or are willing to give it plausible cover (and functionally there is no difference to me.) Whether he's a clout-chaser on top of that? Who knows.
He's not very bright, tbh. Very much Schrodinger's Douchebag. Would say outlandish shit in moderate sincerity knowing he could walk it back as a "bit" if he got any pushback. Used to go on long rants about how he felt that excommunicating pedos/zoos is what *actually* causes them to offend. Creep.
If memory serves he went on a multi-day transphobic bender on his twitter and later on basically went "jk I was just doing a bit you guys" Fool me once shame on you, fool me five times...
Oh yeah he had a long, sordid history outside of that. He was able to launder his reputation a bit when he was being unfairly attacked by a nutjob brony who got him fired from his job, and again when he went to FreeFurAll just to "document" it, but he's always kind of sucked imo.
He did a whole tiktok series a few years ago where he was doing selfies with fursuiters at cons, and it did numbers! ... but then people found his Twitter where he was palling around with zoos/pedos and he made a big, long, 10 minute whining video where he said "I'm not sorry. goodbye."
Yeah I remember when he went to FreeFurAll "ironically" This is 100% him. He's ID'ed in the full segment.
I continue to hope that answer will be "never" but somehow end up disappointed.
Dude was always sus as fuck, and now he's in love with a chatbot apparently.
I'll never forget when he went full "debate bro" with his livestreams and tried to "debate" a CSA victim about when it should be ok for a recently outed predator to resume his music career and got super pissy when said victim continued to say "never."
I'm apparently a couple of months late on this, but holy shit? A sad but not unsurprising twist for Stallionslaughter given the last time I heard anything about him he was being excommunicated from the furry community for being openly friendly with and running defense for pedophiles and zoophiles.
KITT was supposed to be a modern horse They made him talk and gave him a personality so that it was conceivable for a person to have a relationship with their car. It was supposed to be the Lone Ranger updated for a generation of 80s kids growing up on technology.
Also, for the record, the thing that every reboot gets wrong is that above all else Knight Rider is a Western.
Just found out that the Cobra Kai/Karate Kid producers are setting their sights on a Knight Rider reboot. Cautiously optimistic about that but still wary. Every attempt at a reboot has missed what made the original series good, and I'm worried those guys, as good as they are, are not going to get it
While defending the luddite argument in Discord, I stumbled into this IMO succinct explanation for opposing generative AI: At every step in the process, it impoverishes us.
Anyone who looks at America in 2025 and thinks, "maybe we can fix this by throwing trans people under the bus" 1) doesn't have the brains to understand what's going on or how we got here 2) doesn't have the stomach for any of the fights ahead and 3) is vice signaling to their MAGA friends.
Yooo that rules!
Sandwich guy escapes indictment due to jury nullification!
My heart is breaking over this news and Iβm viscerally anxious about how the right wing is going to use this to further its attacks on my trans sisters and my community of trans people. Please please care for yourself loved ones today.

There's apparently a way to "merge" my existing topic channel into my normal channel but I'm honestly afraid of fucking with it. If you've ever used distrokid or anything like that you already have a "topic" channel too.

Furry creators, lend me your ears (tails, paws, maws, etc...)! We are starting to build out some educational materials around the Furry Economy and would like your help. If you make money in the furry economy we'd love you to take a little time and fill out the following survey: tally.so/r/woPqee

When orange dude was being interviewed about the "great again" bits back in 2015/2016 he mentioned specifically that he was talking about the 1980's when he said it.
I think of myself more as a RetroFuturist than anything else; I like to look backwards and examine how people in the 80's envisioned the future, and that's what grounds my nostalgia, but any look backwards should include the implicit responsibility of understanding who was hurt at that time and why.
It's okay to appreciate things from the past, and enjoy the aesthetic, but there needs to be a hard line drawn as soon as anyone starts to suggest "things were so much better/simpler back then" because that's just patently untrue, as per OP's thread.
Preying on "nostalgia" for a mythical period of stability that occurred at some point in the past (almost always a moving target of 30-40 years ago) is also one of the most reliable, repeatable recruiting tools that right-wing reactionaries have at their fingertips.
Getting the tea from my 13 and 15 year old cousins. Apparently no one young uses chatGPT and itβs considered cringe

There's a good kitten~
Good bonfire weather too, tbh
I'm sitting directly under an open window and feeling a gentle evening breeze at the back of my neck It's kind of perfect.
I need Democratic online types to understand that because of this, Newsom is dead to me. Dead. I'd sooner vote for an actual corpse. There is no hope, none, that he'll win me over, *because he has established he is a bad person*. There's no coming back from this. Take my advice and move the fuck on.
Sneak peek at what my kitchen will look like tomorrow night
Broadly, my line would be: if it's too risque to have in a song lyric on Top 40 radio then it's probably too risque to have in print on merch in a "family-friendly" environment. By this metric: "sexy" is fine, "horny" is probably fine, and "cum" is probably not

this iconic advertising copywriter named Kathy Hepinstall Parks died over the weekend and I wanted to share something from her website I thought Bluesky would like
Yep. Just found the biggest dork in Roseville π
I can't believe someone managed to make a cybertruck worse.
Oh I already know I can't π₯΄
*sits backwards on chair* "How do you do, fellow creatures?"
It's usually near or on the throttle body itself. I don't have access to tech specs on that car (RIP Charmli?) but it's possible you touched it if you removed/replaced/fiddled-with the TB already. I just know I had a car years ago that idled funny until I dealt with the IACV and then it was perfect
Have you looked into removing/cleaning/replacing your IACV? A stuck valve can mess with airflow either by letting too much in or not letting enough in. Stuck open can mimic symptoms of a vacuum leak.
Dumb question but did you use flammable brake cleaner? They make stuff that doesn't ignite so it's useless for troubleshooting vacuum leaks. Reading through this my other thought would be the IACV acting up.
I was gonna say...
Excited to table 8/23 at #InsertNameZineFest! I have some new stuff including a 6-page mini zine preview of my upcoming comic Ninja Penguin!
Good <---> Bad exists on a single axis, and my ideal starting point for a discussion is based on three axes. One that interrogates relevancy/messaging, one that interrogates aesthetic qualities and execution, and one that interrogates likeability/fun... things that can be defended from the text.
I feel like there's a deeper discussion to be had about how people are afraid to just admit that they like things or that they dislike things, and assign a binary value statement like "good" or "bad to it in order to justify their own feelings. It's depriving people of deeper appreciation of art imo
Ah! Okay sorry for misunderstanding! I was worried I wasn't communicating clearly. With the double quote it's hard to discern who's who π₯΄
This is why "good" and "bad" are in quotes. I was expanding on and responding to someone using this binary metric in earnest. My personal, more functional metrics are usually too nuanced to fit into a single bsky reply.
π thank you
MAYA IS THAT TARKUS IN THE BACKGROuND???
Expanding: Appreciating "bad" art requires two skills: Literacy & Imagination You have to be literate enough to understand what the intention of a work is, despite its flaws, and imaginative enough to conceive what it would be like without those flaws. Those are mandatory skills for any creator.
