Hello, I’m Macxi! But you can call me Mac. I’m a goofy furry guy, and I’m also the writer and artist of a furry webcomic series called SlumberTown!

You can check out the SlumberTown account here for updates: SlumberTown.bsky.social

Or you can stay here and be goofy with me. Whatever you wish!

When I transitioned, my life got a whole lot harder and it became a lot more difficult to maintain past relationships with people who preferred the “me” from before. I can betcha that’s probably the case for the majority of trans people you know!

One of the most perverse ideas on the anti-trans side is that trans people are instantly affirmed and celebrated by everyone when they come out and that acceptance is driving a social contagion.

It's the ultimate form of gaslighting against our community.

The survey comes as transgender people experience a legal assault from the far-right in the United States.

This little goat boy was able to service some very large planes tonight despite being small!!!

I can’t have dysphoria about my small size as long as I remember that lil goat boys are all meant to be fun sized. :3

the worst trend in female character design for anthropomorphic characters in media has to be the absolute refusal to give women snouts.

gacha games and fortnite are especially egregious with this. come on. just a bit of a snout. it's not hard, people. give the wolf girl a snout. and DON'T squish it

There’s an airport furs chat? Oh dang!!! Sure!

I’m about to give Romy fans SO MUCH ANXIETY as soon as the Janus plot accelerates! Their arc gives me anxiety too just thinking about it and writing it.

But this just means y’all gotta give her more scritches. 😩

Mac Goatman! 🐐 @macxi.bsky.social · 15h

So THAT’S where they all are… I gotta go to more raves! Haha!

I could see myself picking up a thrift store labubu in a couple years. I’d love to rehome one of the lil freaks.

Heck yeah, which jobbo do you do? I’m Water/Lav! You get any flight perks or benefits too?

I went from the perils of unemployment to the perils of employment so quickly LIKE

Seriously! My friend was a real one recommending it to me. Honestly it’s furry anime at its finest. I’d watch it again in a heartbeat.

Mac Goatman! 🐐 @macxi.bsky.social · 15h

Agreed! He was my fave! Love my anxiety boys…

Mac Goatman! 🐐 @macxi.bsky.social · 15h

I don’t fear the “finglers” because I know they can’t hurt me. 😌✌️

Mac Goatman! 🐐 @macxi.bsky.social · 15h

Yeah, it’s like… a plastic straw is not as sustainable as a paper straw but I doubt even a box full of plastic straws amounts to the damage one private jet can do. I think you’d need like… an INCONCEIVABLE amount of plastic straws to even come close to the damage of fossil fuels. INCONCEIVABLE!

Romy is the sweetest baby my brain has ever birthed, I truly love her so much.

Mac Goatman! 🐐 @macxi.bsky.social · 15h

Haha, thanks! I’d say a lot of us probably like being pretty boys! I can’t speak for all, but personally I love compliments (both receiving and giving).

I do a daily skin routine now so there’s no escaping the allegations for me.

Mac Goatman! 🐐 @macxi.bsky.social · 16h

Haha, it’s hard for me not to absolutely adore him either! I just got the sweet spot for the “funny guy” archetype. And I’m pretty sure he just envelops everything I love about that archetype.

Mac Goatman! 🐐 @macxi.bsky.social · 16h

The Romy love must flourish! Even when we get deeper into some of the other characters’ backstories… 🩷

It’s funny, I have a lot of the same worries Romy does. Like “I hope people don’t find Romy boring just because she can be passive and timid and lacking in the self-esteem department!”

Mac Goatman! 🐐 @macxi.bsky.social · 16h

Growing up is finding that out the hard way. 😅

Mac Goatman! 🐐 @macxi.bsky.social · 16h

LOL

Don’t stop inhaling! Hold on to that raaaaailing….

any time someone critiques a story by saying things like "I wish they would have told us what happened instead of just implying it" I want to take away their media privileges

The image is a six panel black and white comic

Panel 1- A small child is being told "You'll want kids when you're older!" The child responds with "I don't think so..."

Panel 2- The same child, now a teenager, is being told, "You'll change your mind when you're older." To which the teen responds, "I doubt that"

Panel 3- Now an adult, someone off screen asks them, "Aren't you thinking of having kids?" To which they respond, "Nope"

Panel 4- The same person, an older adult now, is being told, "better have kids soon, or it'll be too late!" to which they respond, "That's fine"

Panel 5- Now elderly, they are once again asked "Don't you feel like you missed out?" to which they say, "Still nope."

Panel 6- They are now in their death bed, clearly close to death. The nurse says, "Shame you didn't have kids, don't you regret it?" To which the person says "You know what just kill me already"

I have muscle fantasies too but they’re nowhere near as euphoric!

Mac Goatman! 🐐 @macxi.bsky.social · 20h

“Power fantasy” and it’s just idealizing a world in which I am granted basic human rights, autonomy and dignity while existing in an economic bracket where I don’t have to struggle so much.

(It’s a great fantasy though; can you blame a guy for dreamin’?)
