When I revealed to my grandma I was going to FWA, she short circuited. When she recovered the very next question, with a laser piercing stare was "are you gay?"
My dad just gave a very heavy sigh and asked if I packed protection.
I can understand the reluctance and fear.
While my con has kinda had a rough start, this afternoon was much better. Got to hang out and have some great tacos with
@SplatFennec
. Listened to BoozyBadger talk about messed up law. And met up with some more peeps!
I had to remind myself to stop and get something for dinner.
@AthyLion
So was the headless lounge actually closed or was that a joke?
As far as who is in charge, that's a good question, I've been seeing some rumors the con chairman was fired right before the con.
@macsquirelera
If I'm not mistaken, "ramming the gate" means they drove through a normal toll booth like gate arm, which triggers this normally hidden massive barrier to spring out of the ground with pyrotechnics or hydraulics.
@TheRoguez
The only problem with this picture is the foxes are not various shades of the rainbow and half of them should be wearing pink and white socks.
Thinking over lessons from MFF
1. Be sure to pack a comb, my hair is an absolute mess now.
2. Pack a water bottle
3. People go insane for Kigu boys.
4. Con ops thinks a leaf blower is a gun or a blunt weapon.
5. My body is slowing down and hard to move after sitting.
@rustbeltenjoyer
Casually waiting for the lawsuits. Also I'm quite curious what the damage looks like underneath this particular truck, probably a total loss from ripping the suspension mounts out.
@OneRadChee
Most buses on the road are built upon a truck or van chassis with a fiberglass skin over a square tube frame, just like an RV. They fair extremely badly in a severe crash. Transit/city buses, motorcoaches, and even school buses are built much sturdier.

So apparently this is the cybertruck that plowed into a hotel sign and the guy tried to blame the hotel's valet. Personally I feel that more of the front should have deformed for how high the front of the truck got.
There isn't a single thing wrong with poodling, we're here to play and have fun to our comfort levels.
I don't have a suit myself so here's some of my favorite poodling photos that I took at AnthroCon!
@WilliamHazen7
I agree. Even if the lift doesn't work electrically, it's designed to be operated by hand by simply pulling a release and flipping it out.
@TheJetonELIT
Fun fact, you can drop a rat into a tanker truck of milk and it will still meet FDA guidelines for contamination (measured as a percentage).
So it was just pointed out to me that the owner of Nexify is a minor, and so is most of the moderation staff.
That's sketch.
Not all furries are NSFW, but many are and many of those that are have infamously little restraint.
@PhantomThorns
@FlygonHG
It should have been stupid easy with Marshtomp, it's Water/Ground and Wattson doesn't have counters for anything. Just Mud Shot everything.
I'd be more curious about the preceding rival fight, that Grovyle is nasty.
@dont_jinxit
I don't think they're against it, but know of furries for NSFW reasons (prob saw the CSI episode) or because of the heavy skewed gay presence combined with homophobic tendencies, which you really can't fix in someone who's in their 80s.
@ScarletWingsFS
Immediately thinking of the maker who grabbed a handful of stuffing, saw there was a spider on it, and in a panic jammed it into a premade tail.
Really leaning towards changing my Fursona's name to Sapphire.
Sorta related cus of the recent discourse, anyone want to give their honest opinion of her? Good or bad, I'm curious.
Yes, and still do hear towards my siblings.
The "family is family no matter what" is the current toxic mindset I have to deal with.
No, I don't want to be anywhere near my also autistic brother who got violent whenever things wouldn't go his way.
things you probably heard a lot as an undiagnosed autistic kid:
“you’re so sensitive all the time”
“calm down, it’s not that bad”
“no we cant leave yet”
“just hug them, they’re your family”
“im not letting you bring xyz item”
@BreeganDumb
If people don't want speed limiters forced into their cars, this sort of thing needs to stop. Every time someone makes that tiny mistake that kills people the case for limiters grows...
Look for me at AnthroCon!
I really want to make new friendships!
I'm usually anxious and awkward at first, but just keep talking I'll calm down eventually.
I want to give a huge shout-out to
@FurryChi
and her friends for being so friendly and welcoming! They were a huge reason I had a great FWA experience far beyond my best hopes and dreams!
Please do not comment when I cut my hair. I hate it.
I hate the process too, I used to refuse to cut it at all until I got tired of my head becoming a sweat mop in the summer and I figured out how to cut it myself.
Welp I guess fumbled another possible friendship with a guy who hit me up on Barq.
Seemed pretty friendly and we chatted for about a day until I said I was straight but would still be a friend.
The chat continued for a bit after but now they deleted their telegram.
*sigh*
After being so kindly invited to two room parties today, I have concluded the average room party is not for me. I don't really dance and I don't drink, I tend to stress out because it's a confined space with a lot of people and just wind up sitting down doom scrolling on twitter.
She has an ungodly amount of pulling power. Perhaps too much because she shifts over to one side in the straights because she is pulling so hard.

Dear God.
I should mention I don't like making small talk in DMs. If I don't have anything I directly wanna ask or tell you privately, I'll generally leave you alone because I don't wanna bother you. The best way to interact with me regularly is in a group chat setting, ideally Discord.
Just got my badge in from
@Irmieworm
! It's beautiful!
Also I picked up a friend to assemble at the con in the rather high chance I find myself alone for too long. Perhaps putting her together in public might help start a conversation.
@YayJayBae
I have a hard time concealing this stuff too. I told a friend's dad I was going to Pittsburgh. That triggered the follow up that I wasn't ready for but should have expected "What are you doing up there?"
I'm taking care of Tiger Dick Face today l. He is currently very confused but also hungry, so he's taking a bite of two then staring at me because he doesn't know who I am.
@FionaMaray
Er, this isn't the fault of the bridge or its maintenance. No bridge is designed to survive this type of direct collision (roughly 100,000 tons at 6 knots).

I have fond memories of spawning in a wolf for my little sister, and in her gremlin wisdom, she proceeded to punch it. The wolf got mad and killed her repeatedly. My sides and my ears... 10/10 would relive it again.
While I don't have an actual girlfriend for Valentine's, my bestie
@MeadowsPlushies
comes pretty close despite living so far away. I am so grateful for her love and support!

If there's one thing I hate about using GPS is arguing with the GPS every dozen miles or so by it saying I can save 5 minutes on a 500 mile trip by going to I-95 when I specifically want the road less traveled (and slower).
I don't like that the only water at the con center is public fountains, vending machines that won't vend water because it's not labeled, or you buy it for $6 a bottle from a cafe.
I haven't seen a headless lounge or water dispensers like at other cons.
