Gee, thanks, Patreon. I hadn't considered the idea of giving my Mum the gift of furry porn this Christmas.

re-dyed my hair
Selfie of Niq with damp pink hair. She's looking at the camera with the kind of look that causes me gay panic, even though I am her... A different angle, showing she's also dyed her side shave. Fuck me, she's hot 🥵

I was messing around trying on clothes inspired by Hackers and... um... 🫦
Selfie of me biting my lip, wearing an orange mesh top with boobs visible through it.

sometimes I'll ask a colleague to describe my own past work to me, hoping sooner or later they'll say the right combination of words and trigger total recall
I love people with ADHD because they never actually forget anything. You just have to say the right words to activate them like a sleeper cell and then they awaken with all of the knowledge on a very niche subject they studied for 3 months straight 6 years ago.

Good morning, Mx Squirrel. 🩷

it's clubnight in @clubnether.bsky.social - my friend's furry nightclub in Second Life

yes I'm the one wearing yellow in the goth club
Niq, a blue anthro cat, wearing yellow leotard and transparent raincoat, with stockings and a black harness. She's in the middle of the dancefloor surrounded by other furry characters (and one human, they're welcome too, weirdos). The club is dark, with neon-lit gothic arches.

she's getting carried away doing geometry in #satisfactory
Screenshot of the game Satisfactory. A helical quarter-circle turn of rail track being constructed in the blueprint designer. The track is decorated with a line of display screens forming an outer wall which very nearly line up perfectly. The track is attached by a series of yellow metal beams to a spiraling central column of foundation plates, rotated in steps of almost but not quite 7.5 degrees (it alternates between slightly less and slightly more, I think I can live with the error). The inner edge needs a different tilt-angle to make it line up.

The characters from the last TV show you watched are coming to rescue you. Who's coming to save you?

Oh dear.

Sorting through old stuff from our wedding. We'd named the tables in the seating arrangement after our favourite artists, and painted placards for each.
White placards hand painted in blue and black designs with the names of 4 artists and some kind of visual reference to their style: "Miyazaki" - a drawing of the bus stop scene from My Neighbour Totoro. "Moore" - a portrait of Alan Moore's face surrounded by wild hair. "Bisley" - with ink splats. "O'Malley" - Scott Pilgrim kissing Ramona Flowers with love hearts.

Waitrose Xmas ad "an unlikely couple" and they literally just look like every straight couple you've ever met.

Break-ups are hard, but I'm glad my ex and I are still on very good terms (we're bitching about Big Brother)
Screenshot of a whatsapp conversation between me and my ex: Ex: Cameron (posh farmer) is now crying over farm taxing and I’m horrible because I’m like loooooool Me: omfg you won't inherit all of daddies wealth just most of it boo fuckin hoo Ex: He was like ‘I need to win BB because then the prize money would save our farm’ or some shit. Me: save your farm... from what, cameron? from what? From some other rich fuck having to buy it because you have to pay your fair share to society? grrr aaaaaaaaargh Me: "I deserve free money because without it I can't have as much stuff" aaaaaaaaargh Ex: I know. He’s basically up against Jenny (lives in a council house, has £50 in her bank account) for a pass to the final. I can’t believe they are debating this. Me: lmfao Ex: THEY GAVE THE PASS TO CAMERON!!! Ex: Fucking bellends. Me: people are so blind to privilege Ex: It’s so fucking maddening. Me: they assume he deserves his family's wealth and jenny doesn't Me: people don't want to live in an unjust world and for most the easiest way to think the world is fair is self-delusion and willful ignorance Ex: He cried and was all introvert about it, Jenny was bombastic and unapologetic. I don’t think it’s an intentional grift, but it’s rewarding the wrong shit. Me: this is it, he's completely honest in his belief that tax is unfair to him, specifically, because he's been raised to believe he's truly entitled to every penny of his family's wealth

Unpacking ancient moving boxes I found a bag of gifts from my 40th birthday, including framed photos of my childhood pets 🥹
2 Framed photos. Left photo: Trixie - a dog, German Shepard and Border Collie cross. She's sitting facing the camera with her head turned to the left and her ears raised. She's mostly black with white tufts on her chest and at this angle looks very much like a German Shepard (when she lowered her ears she looked like a Collie, she was a real shape-shifter). Right photo: Kitt, a black cat, refusing to pose for the camera (I have looked, this is probably the best photo of her and it's not good). She's photographed from above, sitting with her body facing left and her head turned toward the photographer's feet. She was named Kitt because I wasn't allowed to call her Knight Rider (I was 8).

Thanks to the persuasive powers of @niion.bsky.social I am going to the Halloween goth night!
Me in goth makeup: lots of eye shadow, purple lipstick, with my pink hair tied back in a bun to show my shaved sides. I'm sweating a lace shirt over black strappy top with visible black lace bra.

I've been noodling around making blue noise. It's a neat technique considering there's nothing random in it.

Ok I've always wondered this - does this person ACTUALLY hope I had a good weekend?

Is it "we're gonna bug you now so I hope you're in a good mood"
Or is it "hey I just remembered you exist 'cause I need you something but I sincerely hope you're happy"
Or is it just an empty gesture for politeness?
Heya Hazel (unnecessary space) (exclamation mark) Hope you had a great weekend (smiley face) Don't suppose you have two seconds to join us in...
