Hey folks! Pinned intro/art thread incoming...

Fursona: Alix Weasel (they/he) - least weasel (Mustela nivalis) 🪡: @snowgryphonsuits.bsky.social 📸: @mitt.hindpa.ws

Second suit: Bastion (he/they) - black-backed jackal (Canis mesomelas) - 🪡: @farukucostumes.bsky.social 📸: @tibbsytiger.bsky.social

Alix in their weasel partial suit stood on the beach in the sun wearing green converse, jeans, and a blue and white checked V art 'full moon club' button up shirt. They are raising two fingers to the camera in a victory sign. Behind them in the distance, Hroar can be seen at full sprint in swim shorts and his white dog fursuit head. Text above Alix reads 'About to win first place'. Text under Hroar reads 'A blue shell'.

Alix sat leaning back in a patio chair in their garden. They are wearing black shorts and a black nomad complex pride hoodie.Behind them the sun is setting in a clear sky behind a panelled fence. One of their dogs, a fawn and black Akita, is sat next to them.

Alix in their Bastion fullsuit, a detailed blue, tan, green and white jackal. They are leaning with one paw crossed over the other on a metal handrail against a glass wall, and indoor mall-type background blurred behind them.

A photo of Alix in their weasel partial fursuit, wearing jeans and a nomad complex long sleeved black shirt with a circuitry pattern on the sleeve. They are sitting casually with their elbows on their knees on a low wooden bench on a wooden boardwalk in the sun, a canal and a row of tall houses on the far bank behind them.

Reading the article, it's not the data that was used for age verification and they said would be deleted - that got deleted.

It's the data which was then collected for appeals 🙃

INQUISITIVE DESTRUCTION

*weasel intensifies*

American River otter brothers River, Wilford, and Mayhem will be moved back to their old habitat for a month. The caulk in the bottom of their lovely new enclosure's pool needs to be replaced and protected from further inquisitive destruction.

[via Columbus Zoo]

Pair of otters paused in frolicking on the grass to stare at the viewer. They look devilish.

An otter swimming in a tank, twisting and steepling their mischievous little hands together under their nose, as if they are smug over yet- to-be-discovered crimes.

Mrs ICE to Mr ICE when he gets home from work: "How is policing the Portland warzone going, honey?"

A screenshot from the video in the quoted tweet showing a scene on an artificially lit street outside a large blocky building. Three individuals are in shot, all wearing large, colourful, inflatable animal costumes - a green peacock, a blue shark, and a polar bear. Text overlaid on the video reads "After our interview, the frogs were joined by a couple of unicorns, a polar bear, an axolotl, a raccoon and several more characters."

My ankle is more sore this morning than it was yesterday morning, so I guess yesterday's 6k steps was overdoing it.

Choosing to focus on the positives that it has taken me nearly a week to hit the first overdoing it day. That must be progress.

WWII "Friend" poster series from the Allied Forces, originally demonstrating the various Allied forces (British, Australian, Chinese, French, Dutch, etc.) and their appearances

It reads:

"This man is your FRIEND

He fights for FREEDOM"

The image is a sepia/black and white toned image of the Portland Frog protester, simply labelled FROG

Discord hack shows dangers of online age checks as internet policing hopes put to the test

As the drive for age verification grows, so does the pressure on online companies to keep users' data safe and, as the Discord hack shows, that cannot be guaranteed.

THE NOPE I JUST NOPED

A photo of a side in the kitchen with some washing up on it. A large green cellar slug is making its way past a mug. The slug is noticeably longer than the base of the mug.

I love when Andy Ngo does one of his David Attenborough-style posts about Antifa and highlights some kid who took a bong rip and waddled into the protest dressed like a giant muppet.

My favorite flavor of his commentary by far.

Andy Ngo wants to draw your attention to Barney the dinosaur

Current musical mood started with Assemblage 23 - Noise Inside My Head and moved through Apoptygma Berzerk Moment Of Tranquility, Kathy's Song and In This Together before just accepting we're sticking on Apop for some emotional wallowing.

There's a weird bass rumble going on that feels almost sub-audible and you bet that this is somehow stopping me getting back to sleep.

This is going around again and it is not true. Like every site on the internet, Bluesky uses machine learning to do a first-pass approximation of image classification to detect and label content. They have repeatedly confirmed outside services do not use Bluesky user data to train their models.
