Now that the new album is out I'm going to link to my Faircamp page again. Feast upon my '70s-classitronica-inspired music!

I work very slowly with stuff going on in my life and will explore other artistic media, so the next thing I have to share may not be music at all 🤷

If I've kinda disappeared from social media lately it's because I've got some nice group chats going with friends now and I've been more inclined to share time and thoughts with a few friends than with the internet at large. Can't always respond right away but my DMs remain open 💜

Union workers solved the trolley problem, you're welcome
IWW IU 520 (Railroad Workers) PRESENTS: TROLLEY PROBLEM SOLUTION "Slip the switch" by flipping it while the trolley's front wheels have passed through, but before the back wheels do. This will cause a controlled derailment bringing the trolley to a safe halt.

Nowadays my comics are seen mostly through unauthorized reposting to other sites (FB, YT, IG). That's fine but please credit me and link the website (raccoony.com). There are always comments asking what comic is this, and who made it. People want to know, and this fox deserves some credit! 🧡

A scanned image of a sketchbook with drawings on it. At top, a quadrupedal wolf is shown sniffing the ground behind a sedan with a small wolf in the back seat. The quadrupedal wolf has thought bubbles above his head, showing that he recognizes the smell of a road atlas and a wilderness parking pass. In the second drawing, the quadrupedal wolf is shown seated next to the smaller wolf in the car, both wearing three-point seatbelts, telling him what it is like to run free in grassy fields. In the third image, the small wolf gazes out the window, imagining himself as quadrupedal, running through the same grasses and flowers.

Left ANE 2026

Attending my first furry con with my partners, our 9-going-on-10-year-old, and my sister, with all of us staying at another hotel, is probably not how it's usually done. And yet it was a really positive experience for me personally, and more surprisingly for us as a family 💜

As someone wrapping up 13 years of service I can confirm alot of this as absolutely true, some of it while I wont say is exaggerated, is not in fact everyone's experiance. Brainwashing can be a MOS specific thing as someone who has been in 2 branches and held 4 seperate job codes.

But!

If you need a reason not to enlist, there's many.
Avatar luulapants 1d If you're in the US, now is a great time to talk to the young people in your life about the US military: The recruiter is not your friend. The military employs child psychologists to learn how to make you think the recruiter is your friend. The recruiter is allowed to lie to you and makes more money if they do. The recruiter is paid a commission to groom children into cannon fodder. The recruiter will tell you you're special and will go into special smart soldier programs instead of combat. They're lying. The recruiter may tell you they can tell if someone can get PTSD or not and only recruit people like you, who won't. They're lying. The recruiter may tell you you'll be too busy attending free college (!!) to go overseas. They're lying. The recruiter may ask what countries you want to travel to and promise you bougie placements on military bases in those countries. They're lying. Even "It's just four years!" is a lie - the government is allowed to hold you past your enlistment period with a stop-loss order. The recruiter actually has zero power to decide anything that happens to you after you enlist and they more importantly don't care what happens to you. If you enlist, you will be brainwashed to make you willing to do things to other humans that you would never be willing to do today. You will be ordered to do things that will kill children. And you'll do them. The military is not the only way or even the best way for you to go to college or start a career. Military brainwashing will actually make you into a terrible university student because it degrades your ability to think critically and question your sources. Having PTSD and/or a TBI will make it harder to be a student and keep a job. Veterans' benefits suck these days. Being a veteran drastically increases your risk of homelessness, suicide, alcohol and drug dependence, prison time, and becoming an abuser to your loved ones. The military will expose you to chemicals that will drastically increase your chances of developing cancer. The military will withhold information about your rights to conscientiously object after enlisting. A lot can change in four years.

I'm hardly original in saying this, but a lot of people are going to try to make this about whether Maduro being gone is good or bad as such, rather than the blatant violation of international and US law in a destabilizing act of aggression.

Don't fall for it.

I watched an English-language NHK documentary short once about the protocol for a typical visit to a Shinto shrine 5 years ago and since then I've been obsessed with this form of spirituality that is about stepping out of daily life for a minute to visit the gods who live next door
