New design of McDonalds in Sycamore Illinois. The building looks great, the displays were massive and crisp. The drive thru was fully automated/ai. The pickup window has extra styled overhang awning which looks very neat and doesnt function to avoid rain while picking up at all.

I am having the weirdest work weeks of my life. I am setting 1:1s with people that I may never talk to again to say goodbye. I'm trying not to cry but it's hard sometimes. I've worked with these people for so long that they certainly feel like friends. I showed my fursuit to one the other day, lol

I really dislike mobile apps for grocery shopping... like, you are standing in front of the product. Open the app and press a button to get a $1 off. You are trying to make a sale and creating a problem. This though.. contact our grocery store AI anytime. No fucking way.

I dont like the end of things. Yesterday I was thinking about how as much as high school sucked, I led the stage crew team and when I graduated I just cried up in the catwalks alone. I have 2 weeks left on my job. I wont get any 20th celebration or exit interview. I just wont show up anymore.

I dont trust anything anymore. I took these other photos 20 minutes ago.. I dont think i said anything out loud. I did not search for the phrase. Its just coincidence it shows up on tiktok? Is Google photos identifying content and being used to serve ads?

This last week was just a nightmare for me. I f'd up my GLP and made myself incredibly sick. I barely ate and couldn't keep fluids down. Then I had a back pain so bad I almost went to the ER. I got a CT scan thinking I had a stone or something, but nope. It might be stenosis related, idk.

Last night we went on Omegle. My spouse talking and me in the background not paying attention. Most people would recognize me as a real dog, then I would wave. We got quite a few screams and wtfs. I need to figure out how to video capture.

Today a surgeon asked what I did for work, and I am sure he was distracting me but I told a joke good enough to get all his assistants to scream. Perhaps not what you want while theyre cutting you. But it made me happy.

Left to a dermatologist appointment early. Got stuck behind a house on the road for 15 miles (oversized load), arrived 8 minutes late, scolded by the receptionist that normally they wont even see anyone over 7 minutes late.. Hopefully I can still be seen she says. Wtf, I'm not a kid?

Stop-mo PNGtuber for @foxander.bsky.social in the style of Fantastic Mr. Fox. Foxander messaged me about the idea and it seemed so cool! He sent me drawings and screenshots for the idea I got to work, it took a bit, but I streamed most of the process and am happy with the result! #3dart #vtuber

I have never been to Megaplex. It felt bad that they had to go 18+ due to shitty Florida politics years ago. I'm seeing on TikTok people being angry at the large increase in adult themed panels (you know which panels). Hot take, wanting an 18+ con means it might result in much more 18+ themes 1/2

My locals furry chat is the a handful of us in our mid 40s and lots of college age to 30ish year olds. Every so often I notice these media gaps. They dont know who put the peaches in a can. I have no idea wtf Drake & Josh is, I was graduating college when that came out. Found another last night.

I play Ragnarök Online with a group of people that I am very clearly an outsider in. Tonight we watched Kiki's Delivery Service as a group of 20 people chatting. I had not seen it before but the symbolism was so super obvious, so I helped explain the themes to the group. That's a nice movie.

It seems like (and a few have explicitly stated) that many cons are heavily weighting their dealer selection process towards artists selling pre-made merchandise over artists doing at-con art-on-demand. There’s certainly room for everyone but the proportions seem skewed right now.

I helped end another cost savings project at work today. My job seems to be defending against people who come up with brilliant ideas with Claude. I had to prove which assumption it made was wrong to convince them.

So my wierd story for anthrocon, someone knocked on our door at 1am saying they hid some liquor in our room a year ago. It was just too late, we've got a dealers table to wake up to and all that, maybe later guys. The next morning I investigated though... and... uhh.. yep.

4th of July at #anthrocon was fun. I took my kigu and newer pup mask out. Not something I normally wear around. I wanted to wear the full fursuit but fireworks + contacts instead of glasses wouldn't be great. Anyway it was fun... little hot.

wanted to re-tackle that sinkdog thing i drew a bit ago to make a zine out of! here's that <3 there's a free printable (A4) on my Ko-fi ^_^ ko-fi.com/s/ce0da89a35
one must imagine sisyphus, a sinkdog fanzine by meee. sinkdog is drawn similar to her original pose, but full of dirty dishes, grimacing, and dripping dirty water everywhere.text on the left page:
This is a redraw of the original Sinkdog fanart that
I made in december 2025.
Sinkdog was created by daleport996 in 2021 <3

places to check out:
sinkdog.com (the sinkdog archive. my original comics are buried in there, among many cool works!)
sinkdog.neocities.org (a digital fanzine in collaboration with more sinkdog fans [there's even a foreword from daleport996!])
daftpatience.neocities.org (my website!)

now for the comic:
sinkdog is laying on a cluttered, filthy counter. she's surrounded by dirty dishes, and her basin is full of dishes and dirty dishwater, which trickles out as she sits up on her elbows, looking exhausted. in the next panel she is throwing a dish and leaning forward, causing her contents to come crashing out of her onto the floor.on the left page she's standing, tethered to the counter by a drainpipe, looking at the shattered mess of dirty dishes and dishwater spattered on the floor. the remnants of her basin pour down her legs.

text at the top of the next page reads: a friend for sinkdog. Her name is Daisy.
sinkdog sits on the countertop, broken dishes on the floor around her. she apologizes to Daisy, who is sweeping up the broken glass. Daisy responds "it's okay!"
in the next panel daisy is washing dishes in sinkdog, who is laying on the counter, looking away with tears running down her face.
"it will get like this again." sinkdog comments.
"and i'll help you again." daisy replies.
"even if i never get better?"
"of course."next spread: we see a clean, normal sink, and sinkdog getting off the counter, now a regular intact dog character, freed from the mental block that was the dirty dishes.
daisy clasps sinkdog (who is now more naturally coloured and dressed) on the shoulders and says "i hope i could unstick you a little bit." sinkdog smiles tearfully back.
in the final panel they hug. one of them says "i love you." sinkdog looks relieved.

Listen. I spent more than a decade as a theatrical technician, rigging stages, hanging lights, flying scenery, etc. The number of times I have dropped anything on a stage with performers on it is zero. The number of times I’ve dropped something that might’ve killed someone is zero. This is major.

I am at Anthrocon, I saw someone in the elevator wearing 3 MFF lanyards so I had just pop in.. those look awesome! I suck at starting random conversations... I designed what you are wearing is the only hope I've got.

This is really neat. The thing I did not realize until I saw DBruin wearing one in person is you don't stand face to face when talking to people usually, so the eye effect is more noticable in person on a lanyard.
