need to get an illustration done of my wife and I where I'm the anxious cheetah and she's the emotional support dog

Photograph of a white lab looking chill and a cheetah looking somewhat concerned. They’re sat together on a wooden box.

outside wolf

A scanned image of a sketchpage. The early life cycle of a wolf is depicted in drawings and text: "Take a wolf." [a quadrupedal wolf.] "Make him bipedal." [He is standing on two plantigrade legs.] "Dress him in clothes from the department store." [He wears pants and a rugby shirt, one leg propped up on a small box.] "Give him a 20 year long interdisciplinary education." [He is seen as a high school math student, looking at a wall clock while using a graphing calculator. As a college student, timing the movement of a film development can. As a graduate student, looking at mortarboards being tossed in the air.] "He is now ready to go outside!" [He is once again on all fours, albeit still in bidepal form, wearing kneepads and a harness which reads "MASTER'S DEGREE- OK TO PET."

finally getting around to posting this fantastic commission I got for < @[email protected] / @pointy.dog > from < @[email protected] / @mio.lagomorphosis.org >

Two characters sit on a wooden box in a grassy field. One is a cheetah-dragon lady who looks a little nervous. The other is a bespectacled saluki dog lady who seems confident and has her arm around the cheetah-dragon lady's shoulder

it’s cool when you’re playing a game where you need another game to play while you wait for the first game

came up with a new meme let me know what you think

I feel the need to celebrate the timeless web 1.0 design of the venerable “AFL Tables” website. Up since 1999 in one form or another, largely still looking like a 90s site, but up to date with statistics for the entire 2025 season. Beautiful! https://afltables.com/afl/afl_index.html

yeah it’s been blatantly fascist for years now and it frustrates me no end that people have made no effort to move away because IDK "it’s got all my furry stickers uwu"

It's nice to see that thread where No More Robots seem to be taking moderation seriously, but for every NMR there're fifty publishers who are just leaving their Steam forums to build up a population of chuds, memes, porn, and offtopic garbage.

It's nuts to me that delisted games keep their community forums, so for example Microsoft's cancelled Perfect Dark has a forum full of chuds celebrating that it was cancelled because [checks notes] the leading woman had too square a jaw(???)

Fun fact: My VRC avatar has an eyepatch because I'm blind in that eye, and my eye tracking won't track the blind eye right! So a friend made me an adorable eye patch to hide it. :3 (I've learned there are better ways to stop that weird tracking but this is cute and effective so I stick with it. <3)

this is where they went after meeting up (kelcie's idea)

Two anthropomorphic animal characters visiting a butterfly conservatory. One is covered in butterflies, the other is excited to take a picture.
