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.

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.

Streets are still closed off in front of the Portland ICE facility at 8:30pm. Protesters have gathered on a side street. Dance party in progress.

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.

Pretty incredible to see. Great tits have been known to feed on the brains of hibernating bats, so I guess it tracks 🦇

Hannah Scharf @hannah-scharf.bsky.social · 1d

Today I heard a pair of great tits just outside my office window, followed by a loud thump of something against the windowsill. I rolled up my blinds and to my surprise, there was a bat! This tit had knocked a bat from her roost and looked like he was thinking about lunch…

In the olden days we used to call these folk sparklies. The black bloc folk are the spikies. They are essential protest infrastructure. But the sparklies, oh the sparklies! Cops have no fucking idea how to deal but they're terrified.

Well Frankie seems to be using her leg just fine again this morning (and was able to come upstairs to check on me when I was late with breakfast) so that's good at least!

I am still not using my leg just fine 😅

Alix Weasel @alixwzl.bsky.social · 2d

Just confirmed that her mum ruptured her cruciate one week after I had a bicycle accident that left me with a grade three ACJ rupture, so I was in a sling for weeks and couldn't drive.

If this is Frankie's cruciate then I'm going to start questioning the transmissibility of ligament ruptures.

NFC?

There's so many hotels in the area I'm not worried about not getting a room. Gonna wait a couple of weeks to give folks time to release the backup they reserved just in case and then see what's available.

Pleased to report that she suddenly regained the ability to weight bear when dinner was being prepared, so it may be sore but isn't entirely fucked.

...Still feel a bit like she's doing this, mind...

Frankie has previously gone tripod spontaneously with vets turning up nothing, so a) I'm not desperate to rush her in somehow on a Sunday and b) I have metacam here.

But she's also the same age her mum was when her cruciate ruptured. So we've dosed her and will keep an eye for now.

Freedom is just another name for “a gap in the law”.

Paul Brand @paulbrand.bsky.social · 3d

Home Secretary tells Sky News that “there is a gap in the law” when it comes to frequent, repeated protests on the same issue. Hence she will be giving police greater powers to move them to another location or time.
