I have some friends who've been playing dokapon and it seems so scary to me. What if monopoly but it was meaner type vibes. I gotta play it one day

I'm surprised that I ended up liking the game as much as I do, considering that it's very much out of my usual wheelhouse, but I'm enjoying it a lot more now that V is a animal

I only ever mod things to correct them. That's why I've downloaded the furry mods for cyberpunk 2077, to get back to the intended experience.

I still remember the one time I streamed all of re4 in one sitting with the tramp stamp mod. It really is the game of all time

I almost got scammed on an offer to get a violin, I think that may be a sign to just budget to get one.

Hoping for the best that things work out here, both for you now, and for the soul of past me, back in the day where I was watching old disney movies on vhs ;w;

I teach at university level and as far as a job to make ends meet I think it's pretty enjoyable. I like talking to my students about writing and whatnot. It's a bit of a weird time to work in education, though, that is fair.

Those who are 35+, what advice do you have for people just entering their 30s?

How it started VS How it's going

There's still plenty of work ahead of us till the art is finished, but it's very satisfying to look back and see how far we've already come! #furryVN #furry

Some things the weather needs to be right for, I don't make the rules. I hope to god it snows before new years, for the sake of my DS3 vid

the therian video in particular is in hell because I've wanted to make it since July and I've been holding back on it because the centerpiece is an album of music that I need to hear once the weather gets colder. I feel like I haven't fully felt all there is in it until then.

I am having essay congestion. I’m behind schedule on my Hundred Line vid, I’d really like to get my Bloodborne vid out by Halloween, and yet the only thing in my head is the big therian vid next month. I just don’t have time for anything

new blog post! It's about Latex Pawjob Soju raising Canes Twinks, annoying memes, self-cloning, and death! It's a doozy! This took me a second to write! Enjoy! medium.com/@jrbenoit1/d...

It sucks to keep having to migrate from one site to the next but we’ll survive any miserable CEO we have to

furry art is so good I swear to god

Does anyone know if dropout's looking for a furry comedian? I can make power points and I'm trained in improv and have a playwriting degree

Vivian Aladren @valadren.bsky.social · 3d

you think the baha men would respond if I reached out?

Vivian Aladren @valadren.bsky.social · 3d

trying to figure out how to not sound like I'm wasting someone's time by asking them if being a dog informed their album where they bark a lot

Vivian Aladren @valadren.bsky.social · 3d

Working up the courage to start reaching out to furry artists I'll be discussing in my November vid. I wanna talk to them about furry identity and how it informs their work but every time I start thinking about interview questions I feel like the dumbest person on earth.

I love cooking so much and yet I maintain humble knowing that if you eat a piece of fruit at just the right time it can change your life
