One small but cool thing I noticed at FWA is hearing folks asking for bluesky handles, not Twitter/X. I will say that this platform does indeed feel quite active, but hearing people asking for handles in person is a milestone.
I am at the most irritating part of this con crud where the fevers are gone but there is this ever-present feeling of phlegm in my throat that just won't loosen up, leading me into ceaseless coughing fits.
Sick days, even mental health days, should never count toward your PTO.
So long FWA. Was a great weekend. Struggled with a severe dopamine drop on Saturday for no reason, but the rest of the weekend was a hugely positive experience. I'm so lucky to have such excellent folks in my life!
I can't wait to breathe Denver's dry thin air once again.
One more suit session for danellos
Dog time

Think going forward I'll be prioritizing cons that manage their traffic well. Furry is just too big now for the dismal failure FWA has demonstrated in this front. AC def in the radar for 2026, same for MFF.
Climbing up 36 flights of stairs to get to my room because everything is fucked was miserable but hey at least the exercise forced my stupid brain to make a modicum of dopamine that I'm deprived of today.
We need to start gatekeeping the furry fandom.
I have spilled drinks twice today because of my propensity to wave my hands while I'm talking. I'm a mess lol
Me dog me happy

Atlanta I am swimming in your stuffy air
There are so many furries on this one airplane this might be a national security issue.
Phew. Woke up feeling pretty crappy, but deep cleaning the kitchen before packing for FWA made me feel so much better. I really ought to force myself to do something productive whenever I get like that.
Its going to be ultra weird telling people, when the conversation comes up, that I was not "resettled" in the US through this Administration's weird obsession with white South Africans. I came here nearly a decade ago worked hard since. I earned my right to be here.
Most times when I ignore my gut instinct, I lose.
I can't wait to spend most of FWA catching up on sleep.
I keep finding these cute shy worgen druid boys to flirt with. Moon Guard is awesome.
I had a priest life grip me in a 12 cinder (playing Feral) and go "pspspsps" and I feel a little funny inside
GTA VI looks far too realistic for my tastes. Hopefully those are just what the max settings are like, I'd turn them down for a more video-gamey look.
Every time a clickbait video comes into my feed titled something like "why you don't want a Doberman", its always about how they won't leave you alone and take up so much space. I'm just like... wait, is that a bad thing?
Most wonderful dream last night about the coming future.
Had a brief moment of morbid curiosity. I looked at my Twitter timeline, and I am beginning to think that we are literally living through the plot of Don't Look Up.
Witnessed an ant battle between two different colonies in the garden. Been a long time since I've seen one of those.
Meh.
The experimental AMD driver for Oblivion is really good. Much better FSR performance and quality. Not bad for 4K!
