Hi! I'm Emily, aka Foal Papers ("Foaly") in fandom spheres and Pet Emily elsewhere. I'm trans, non-binary, and many flavors of queer; I'm as geeky and kinky as the day is long; and I have my very own brain weasels, with whom I'm slowly becoming friends. Welcome to my random reflections and joys. :-)

If you can make Adobe back away from its plan to cancel Animate, then you shouldn’t have a problem with making Discord reverse course on such a dangerous idea. Go and teach them a lesson.
Discord will require a face scan or ID for full access next month

If I were a Discord employee I'd be screaming at my CEO asking why they just torched the value of my stock options right before an IPO.

the highest and best category of human, in my opinion, is “when stuck on a long flight behind a screaming baby, plays peek-a-boo and makes funny faces to entertain child rather than getting mad or blaming parents.” few elected officials belong in this category but I believe Zohran does
Child at the podium: “A woo woo woo.”
Mamdani: That’s how I felt when we came up with this plan. Together, we will expand the idea of what is possible in our city—and what sounds and noises we can make at a press conference.

I'd like to add that like in all industries, when we stop understanding how our tools work, we become entirely dependent on the corporate entities that own the mold. We are trading the ability to build and repair for the convenience of being permanent tenants in someone else's infrastructure/subs.
Vibe coding is working as expected: it'll kill the open-source, secure, and ideologically maintained alternatives to make sure you have to pay the oligarchs to do anything at all, and they can control what you're allowed to make.

“Frog,” asked Toad, “did this really happen?”
“Maybe it did, and maybe it didn’t,” said Frog.

I’d say that I have good news for you about the intersection of pet play and medical play, but I’m willing to bet you already know. :-) #Kink

Adobe Animate remains an industry standard for TV animation. Star Trek: Lower Decks was made in Animate. Haunted Hotel was made in Animate. My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic was made in Animate.
And because you can't buy a permanent licence anymore, it'll just be gone.

I've been translating a medieval romance where a prince has to do penance by living like a dog for a decade -- sleeping in a kennel, only eating food that's been given to dogs, etc. Gaiman should give that serious consideration.

I've been hosting/emceeing/behind-the-scenes in #MyLittlePony / #Brony con charity auctions since 2015. In that time, I've seen many special items go under the hammer to help out great causes. The piece I might be able to acquire for this year's @trotcon.bsky.social... it blows me away. Stay tuned.
