I had so much fun repping @wearwolfcreations.bsky.social with my dog face at EF this week :3c Never expected I’d get to freely wear him at a con in Europe… but here we are 👉👈

Me posing next to an escalator and a bin inside the CCH. I’m wearing my blue and grey husky mask, matching skintight suit, blue MX boots and orange shorts A selfie where I’m sitting in one of the panel rooms, just chilling as a shiny dog in a tuggable orange harness Me holding up my EF fursuit badge, which has a picture of me wearing the shiny dog face and lists my species as Wolfdog

Current mood: sign bouquet

Three different traffic signs have been uprooted and are laying on a street corner where some construction work is going on. They’ve been arranged such that their bases all seem to be coming out of the same point

Went to McDonald’s yesterday and they had misconfigured one of the registers such that it was displaying the interface to the customer

The register has a smaller screen facing the customer and it’s showing the exact same thing as the employee side A closer look at the screen: it’s a grid of touch-screen-friendly buttons for all the different McDonald’s menu items, colour coded for different categories (mains, sides, drinks, limited-time offerings, etc). The top row has status information in German and buttons for entering numbers.

A nicely sculpted statue of a husky standing up, with pointy ears, a curled tail and a collar. The plaque below is titled “The British Antarctic Survey Sledge Dog Monument” and lists goofy team names like Beatles and Orange Bastards, ending with “1,204 dogs worked in these teams from 1945 to 1993.

Here are some random photos I’ve taken recently

A display mounted inside a sign outside a shop is displaying a black screen and a play button, with text: License expired. Please contact your license reseller to reactivate. Or visit knowledgebase.nowsignage.com and search for A stylish sign with some beautifully outdated graphic design advertises the “Helen Street Industrial Corridor Improvement Programme”. It uses bright orange and blue and the Eurostile typeface, with logos for Glasgow City Council, Scottish Enterprise Glasgow and Govan Initiative. A second matching sign below it adds that the project was part-financed by the European Community in their 1994-1996 programme. A striking sky with wispy grey clouds and the last remnants of a fiery sunset peeking in from the bottom. If you look closely you can see that this beautiful scene is above the Asda Govan car park. A First Bus is waiting at a stop. It prominently says “Aberdeen” on the side and there’s a big ad for Prime Video using the tagline “It’s right here”. In the background you can see Glasgow’s St Enoch Centre, showing that Aberdeen is definitely not right here.

A very silly edit of a photo of a pavement. A woman is walking along with a twin pushchair. The right side has a baby as you’d expect, but the left side just has a generic takeaway pizza box. I used a stock photo of a pushchair, the default player character from Old School RuneScape as the woman, and promo art of Baby Luigi as the baby. The backdrop and the pizza box are both photos I took myself.

Nature is healing… Glasgow City Centre has once again been made into fake New York City for filming I wonder if they’ll actually release this one rather than cancelling it 🤔

The Five Guys on Glasgow’s St Vincent Street now has a US-style street sign outside it, which says “Franklin St” and “Exchange Pl” above a One Way arrow sign. They’ve not made any attempts to cover up the Bread Meats Bread sign next door.

⚠️ 🦊 FOX ALERT 🦊 ⚠️ I saw this fox on my way home. They were carrying something in their muzz but ran away before I could see what it was. This concludes today’s Fox Alert 🦊

a red fox scurries off into the distance on a very wide empty road, under a cloudy but surprisingly bright evening sky

I’ve been needing to buy new bedsheets for a while now and I keep putting it off because every time I look at the options in a shop like IKEA or John Lewis, I just get choice paralysis When did they invent so many different materials for duvet covers???

Today I saw this excellent dog walking around, absolutely oblivious to the branch that was trailing behind them. 10/10, would walk past again

Here are some random photos I’ve taken today (The seagull one was almost ruined by an angry-looking Deliveroo cyclist so I had to grab an earlier frame from the Live Photo™)

An abandoned pair of shoes on top of a bin. They’re a light gold colour, hilariously tall and quite tacky-looking. On the side of a grey bin, someone has drawn a stickman with very wavy lines for limbs, a sad face, and a hand that looks kind of like a crab claw Graffiti on the side of a big metal utility cabinet says “FOX, FOX, FOX”, in capital letters, with each line staggered further to the right like a staircase A seagull is standing pensively on top of a car with its bird legs and chonky butt reflected in the shiny metal. In the background you can see world-famous establishments like “The Fone Zone”, a fancy-looking restaurant, and an empty shop unit

I have not seen that option, I've only seen USB connection, which is MTP that barely works

After installing Debian in a VM and trying two different desktop environments I have finally managed to pull some screenshots off my Switch 2, in the traditional 5% quality JPEG (It was either that, or buying a microSD Express card, or totally wiping my phone so I can use the Switch Online app)

For the first time in many, many years I've used BugMeNot and it actually worked, I'm shocked (I wanted to download VMware Fusion) Getting logins from Bugmenot while playing RuneScape in the background... It's like I'm in 2008 again

You might also enjoy this trolley-themed post in a similar vein bsky.app/profile/ninj... I was trying to find another one but it was apparently from before I started using Bluesky

Here are some random photos I’ve taken recently

There’s a short and fat metal bollard on the path next to the River Clyde, and someone has written “Fur Sona” on it in green paint A traffic light showing green — the green aspect is made out of lots of tiny green LEDs arranged in a square matrix, and a bunch of them are broken, so it looks like it’s displaying some abstract art A metal door on the side of a somewhat derelict-looking building has a sign that says “Fire exit” on a green background with an icon, and “Keep clear” on a blue background with an icon. Directly below that sign is another “Keep clear”/“Fire exit” sign that’s practically identical, but about 20% smaller. Two rather damaged wicker chairs are performing some kind of mating ritual in a pedestrian underpass — one is nested inside the other, which has its rear legs balanced on the rather colourful concrete wall

I’ve been living in the same building for 6 years, and the entire time, my neighbours have been putting plastic bags into the recycling bins that say “no plastic bags” on them I would genuinely love to know if it’s a mistake or actual malice at this point

I *was* pretty sure that the picture you posted earlier was from a wall on the same street as the meet venue...

I looked Very Cool™ at the furmeet today (I borrowed these goggles from a pup and I think I might need to get my own now)

They had so many unsold clearance Marmite ready meals that they had overflowed into two other unrelated sections around the shop

Here are some random photos I’ve taken recently

A seagull perched high up on top of an ad board (with marks on the side indicating that it gets used as a seagull perch quite often). In the background you can see an old building that has the name McDonald etched into the wall (no relation to the fast food restaurant) A public litter bin has a red sign taped to the front that says “Warning: Skateboarding Area”, with a drawing of a stick figure doing a cool trick Someone has tagged a wall next to a boring road in blue paint, with “BLOG.” The M&S chilled pizza section has some Marmite-themed products: a 3-cheese pizza (with mozzarella, cheddar, red leicester and “a creamy Marmite bechamel sauce”) and Marmite mac & cheese bites

Over here, bus operators will usually do this to authorise the card and then they’ll adjust it to the real payment amount the next day
