All fursuit meet when

Dragon Soup @dragonsoup.bsky.social · 11h

I made my own leotard for an event a couple years ago, but I've gotten a lot of use out of it. People kept calling me Barbie, hehehe

It was a low-stakes all women's event, only about 20 competitors. We were all making friends and cheering each other on. Immaculate, soothing vibes. I almost wish it didn't stop, but I crashed HARD in front of a plate of nachos afterwards 🥲

I got 215# back squat, 125# bench press and 250# deadlift at my very first #powerlifting meet today! It was SO MUCH FUN!!!!

How much you wanna bet this will get sanded off when they don't sell?

Anyone else?

I was a picker for a year, then did some icqa. Fuck that place!!!!

I think I didn't get in trouble because I came in for a half day white as a sheet, and my supervisor could see on his little timeline that I had to stop working every half hour

I don't really have a point I just wanted to share a poop story

Couldn't trust a fart for a week

I was working at Amazon during the first Prime Day. They told us under no circumstances can we call out sick that day. Unfortunately I got salmonella poisoning from raw chicken the day before and spent Prime Day crying and shitting at home.

So think of that if you're tempted to buy anything

KNOBBLY FINGERTIPS LETS GOOOO

Dragon Soup @dragonsoup.bsky.social · 4d

Anyway. Still here. Wish I was making fursuits but. You know. Money.

Dragon Soup @dragonsoup.bsky.social · 4d

I just passed my 5 year anniversary at my day job. That's longer than high school. That's longer than college. It still feels temporary, and I still feel new.

Dragon Soup @dragonsoup.bsky.social · 7d

What if I quit my job

Nobody tells you when your wife transitions your Spotify Blend playlist also goes through some changes

I'm working full time and taking a class an hour away twice a week. I'm tired. I haven't made any art in months. It's hard to not feel really down on myself.

Dragon Soup @dragonsoup.bsky.social · 20d

Always a bummer when I show cool, maker-types my fursuit work and they react with confusion, or can't understand why I do it. Dude where did your whimsy go?

Dragon Soup @dragonsoup.bsky.social · 22d

AI sewing pattern shops are a menace. I wish Etsy would regulate that

Dragon Soup @dragonsoup.bsky.social · 24d

No, machine sewing!

...I will admit, you could smell my desperation through the screen. I had only just moved to California and I was desperate to make friends!

Dragon Soup @dragonsoup.bsky.social · 24d

Ok I looked it up. She wanted to give me unpaid training, then maybe start paying me. She was really hesitant because she was in Modesto and I in Stockton. (So like. Half an hour away.)

Dragon Soup @dragonsoup.bsky.social · 24d

Oh my god I got the absolute rudest email from someone in 501st once. They posted on Craigslist asking for someone to help them on sewing gigs, so I sent my portfolio. They kept stressing they needed someone who could sew EXACTLY how they do, and they were VERY picky! I didn't reply.

Delete your Twitter, cowards

You are not Making a Difference there. You are not Fighting the Good Fight. You are not even Maintaining a Community you couldn't easily replicate elsewhere.

You are propping up a right-wing site and, worse, you are being warped by your constant exposure to it and you don't even realize it.

Leave.

No matter what #Musk says or does, many on the left continue to post on and pay for X, a clear example of how progressive movements are beholden to the narrative that we don't have to change anything at all about our lives to achieve our political goals.

I wrote about why that's bad in July ⬇️

This looks like a total blast!
