No they aren't. No they didn't. Who are these even for? Who's watching? The first is some generic script giving info about the mission (read like the narrator was seeing it for the first time as they were saying it), and the second is literally just the NASA post launch conference, re-uploaded.

And then suddenly the sky was full of fire and the air full of sound. I am in total awe. Four humans are going to the moon on a spacecraft we built. 6 years for me, countless more for the thousands of others on this team, compacted into a single moment. We go, for all humanity. Godspeed Artemis II.

also, don't look at my signature. I was nervous! the "ftl" is supposed to be a subscript, but instead it just looks like I don't know how to write in a straight line (or hold a pen, for that matter) 😭

Reminder: this TASKMAST:3R poster (signed by the whole cast and crew!) will be available in the LIVE auction, 11 AM Sunday in... well would you look at that, room 33!

Mixing TASKMAST:3R was stressful... Can you tell where my faders and mutes were?

One thing I'm not prepared for: lugging all this from Wicker to Rosemont.

You can never be too prepared. Catch TASKMAST:3R at 9:30 PM TOMORROW, Room 33 at MFF!

Developing a parasocial relationship with my editing subject (@clicky.coyote.fm). Anyways, come see TASKMAST:3R live at MFF, Thursday at 9:30 PM in DESCC room 33!

Oh my god.
I just realized something.
I think I've spent FAR too much time in the edit bay recently.
I'm like 90% sure the other night I told @ezzanel "I've only met @Clicky Coyote once." Referring to the shoot day.
But I wasn't there.
I've never met Clicky.
I just thought I did because I've spent hours and hours staring at footage of him.

Also, because we've finally got all the resources together, I decided to mock up an event badge as well... Am I being a bit extra for a panel that might only pull a dozen people? Probably. But I have the chance to cosplay an event tech and I'm not passing this up.

🚀⚡Astro @astro.ftl.sh · 09/11/2025

So for the past few months I've been working on TASKMAST:3R, a panel at I'm helping put together for this year's MFF! Tonight's project: a wax stamp logo! I ended up doing it in Blender, so I couldn't help myself from putting a quick little animation together...

I'm in the market for a new keyboard. TKL, excellent build quality, and open firmware. I've heard decent things about Keychron, but this on their homepage is just embarrassing.

These paintings from the Eurofurence art show now have more flight miles on them than some people I know.

🚀⚡Astro @astro.ftl.sh · 06/09/2025

So I've created a problem for myself... Anyone at Eurofurence know the best way to safely get this home? I'm thinking either get a box, pack it well, then check it as a "bag" on my (direct) flight home (to the States), or take it off the wooden frame, roll it up, and get it re-stretched at home?

And because history has a habit of rhyming, it's only fitting that this rings true once again. One of the highlights of my con was the person next to me grabbing me and us screaming the verse to We Own The Night together. Thanks @heysyri.yeen.world for another magical moment of joy and belonging.

Tweet from me from November 26, 2023 that says "So this was a super important and formative event for me. MFF last year was my first con and I went alone and it was big and scary, and while I quickly fell in love, it wasn't until the Syri set that I really felt comfortable and familiar..."

The tweet is a reply tweet to another post of mine from March 23, 2023 that says "Going through my videos from #mff2022 and this was 100% my highlight from the @FurFest
2022 dances. @Hey_Syri
absolutely killed it. Furry emo night wasn't something I knew I needed, and now that I've had it I want so much more."

Linkin Park last night was everything I could've hoped for. We got special guest Tim McIlrath on One Step Closer. We got Good Things Go. We got In The End, a song I've been wanting to hear live for 16 years. Truly a magical night. Thank you @ritualdivision.net for the birthday present! 💜

oh shit I forgot to get authorization from Central Government for my FWA trip

"We will make sure that it is as seamless as possible and that travels will get to stay on their intended itinerary," Ms. Noem said. "But we are telling people that this law will be enforced and it will allow us to know individuals in this country - who they are and that they are authorized to travel."

Gonna be so honest... Last night I went to my first ever Emo Nite. Wanted to for years, but despite living in Chicago for several months now I only just made it out to one. My first thoughts after a few songs were, I kid you not, "wow, this is a lot like a @heysyri.yeen.world show."

Been on a push recently to get my Twitch channel to affiliate, to unlock more of the community features. First time really taking it seriously, so I'm proud of the progress! But... You have GOT to be kidding me.

Been pouring more and more effort into my Twitch channel the past month or so, and I finally got around to updating my channel header. I'm really happy with how it looks, but wow, aligning everything and making it work across window sizes was a massive pain.

Last week, partly as a joke, I converted my VRChat avatar into a VRM for VTubing. But then I used it on my weekend Twitch stream and actually kinda really liked how it looked. So I spent some time today updating to my new texture, adding the shader and physbones, and cleaning it up!

At @megaplexcon.bsky.social I put my sticker next to Rabu's on the first day and by the end of the con, a collection of spotty cats had formed around us. (Shout out to the Artemis sticker next to Rabu, not mine but I love it.)

For the second year in a row, I've kicked off @megaplexcon.bsky.social with McDonald's. Except this time it was the awful one near my house instead of the world's largest on I-Drive. Oh well, we take what we can get.

🚀⚡Astro @astro.ftl.sh · 29/08/2024

I may have moved to Chicago, but Orlando still feels like home, with how often I return, all my friends and family there, and all my childhood memories. So in a way, I guess I still view @megaplexcon.bsky.social as my home con? Either way, I'll be there in a few hours!
