Itunk Tanka @raccoonx.bsky.social · 11/10/2026Just got done watching Forgotten Island in 3D. Such a beautifully constructed film. The remix of 80s tracks surprised me, and the art style is top notch. 000
Itunk Tanka @raccoonx.bsky.social · 10/10/2026It should be mandatory that jets fly no further than 5 miles from the Alaska coastline on nice days instead of the 90+ miles I was. 😢 Very much a first world problem. 😆 Glacier Bay National Park. 060
Itunk Tanka @raccoonx.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Found another forest in between fall thunderstorms. Huron Mountains. Fursuiting in fall colors... 😱😍🐀 I need to make it a point to come back to this area in fall because I had forgotten how pretty it actually is. 1131
Itunk Tanka @raccoonx.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Managed to find time in between all of the serious stuff to get the shots I have always been hoping to get since I 3D printed my feet. Always nice to be the only one on the shoreline. 040
Itunk Tanka @raccoonx.bsky.social · 05/10/2026In less toxic news... fall colors. :) Growing up in nature, it's easy for the magnitude of nature to wash out what I might feel. Part of that is because I'm always analyzing things, so the pure neutrality of nature is... I don't know. Only a few hours of sleep over 3 days so time to defuse. 020
Itunk Tanka @raccoonx.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Timing. 😎 My commute isn't even five minutes, so I usually go out of my way to extend it to an hour.  060
Itunk Tanka @raccoonx.bsky.social · 01/10/2026For Raccoon Appreciation Day, I appreciate the experiences I have been able to have thanks to technology. From being the reason I am alive, to what has become possible with virtual worlds, to friends with awesome skillsets (shout to heli-pilot Leigh for the pic) supporting me no matter how I look. 🥰 140
Itunk Tanka @raccoonx.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Me in not a long amount of time... I am sure it will be great. 001
Itunk Tanka @raccoonx.bsky.social · 24/09/2026Fursuiting with ducks and salmon as we now slide into the dark side of winter. 0121
Itunk Tanka @raccoonx.bsky.social · 17/09/2026Amused by people who think AI will end the world when AI isn't real; it's unoptimized, inefficient, and can't recursively alter itself. It reminds me of the various industrial movements that faded and left the infrastructure to rot. Cool tech, though. Generative overlays of real life as directed. 040
Itunk Tanka @raccoonx.bsky.social · 14/09/2026Despite duck season underway, these ducks were calm. They normally fly before I can get close, but as a rat, they don't seem to mind. Also, epic raspberry haul from a private yard. 🤯 Then, kayaking over a river of salmon to get to a floating island of roots and moss. 050
Itunk Tanka @raccoonx.bsky.social · 10/09/2026Another sign of winter's approach: tens of thousands of dead salmon. While the smell can be hard to deal with, you get used to it. It also doesn't last long as the fish break down into bones quickly over a couple of weeks. Abysmal pink run this year, but a stellar silver run. Red runs were variable. 120
Itunk Tanka @raccoonx.bsky.social · 01/09/2026Up to 10 items? And I can type more!? BlueSky starting to grow up. 😎 7 miles of paddling and 5 miles of hiking later... another successful fursuit adventure in the wilderness while having the whole valley to myself. Lucked out on where I get to live and I am not sure how it can be topped. 070
Itunk Tanka @raccoonx.bsky.social · 17/08/2026"Fields" of water flowers, watermelon berries, mutant fireweed (multi-stalk), and wild grasses. 040
Itunk Tanka @raccoonx.bsky.social · 14/08/2026Infinite seagulls and salmon particle effects test. 120
Itunk Tanka @raccoonx.bsky.social · 07/08/2026This photo is becoming one of my favorites... indicator of resilience; still progressing towards better adaptations to the world and technology. AI should have many ways to go forwards. That is my adult decision. Technology is inherently transformative to mind, good in ways that will continue. 040
Itunk Tanka @raccoonx.bsky.social · 04/08/2026I have come across several porcupines this summer, and each time was able to walk with them for a bit or stay still and have them walk past. They are not rare here, but rare to me. Traveling and hiking have helped me to appreciate the world as a striated series of biomes over man-made borders. 020
Itunk Tanka @raccoonx.bsky.social · 03/08/20263 of 4 then done for a bit. :) What is this death of monoculture alert in your sector of social space? 000
Itunk Tanka @raccoonx.bsky.social · 03/08/2026AI-gen in WAN 2.7 based on designs created alongside ChatGPT and Sora 2. Words are mine as a raccoon with futuristic clothing and neon red war paint: "I don't know if I am recruiting for heaven or hell but the mission stance: to experience the widest range of life possible alongside technology." 000
Itunk Tanka @raccoonx.bsky.social · 03/08/2026Even though I walk along the edge of the collapsing valley of death, I still feel fear because it reminds me that I am final... the changes about to impact the world, dramatic and slow motion... standing on the knife edge of the only way to get across this side. 051
Itunk Tanka @raccoonx.bsky.social · 01/08/2026That awkward feeling when you realize that the first two stars appearing in the sky at night are... a reminder of that dark, cold winter that exists on the other side of the near future. 010
Itunk Tanka @raccoonx.bsky.social · 31/07/202611pm. The summers can be so long and yet so short. We have a calendar at work, courtesy of the local native corporation, and it's both impressive and depressing because they name the months based off of which month of snow it is, going all the way up to eight. 😭🤮😆 010
Itunk Tanka @raccoonx.bsky.social · 24/07/2026People trying to figure out what animal I am in the wild. 🥰🐀🤫 It didn't take long for hoax to get called out, so I waited a few days and gave the full rundown behind the prints they had seen at the end lol. Wild that someone in the same 80-person Telegram chat came across the sub-reddit to show me! 46614
Itunk Tanka @raccoonx.bsky.social · 18/07/2026I did not think through walking through the quicksand mud... finally got all my gear and backpack cleaned but, looking at the drone shot from above as I was making tracks... worth the inconvenience. I wrapped the drone in a jacket to keep it as clean as possible from muddy paws. 😏 180
Itunk Tanka @raccoonx.bsky.social · 17/07/2026Rat tracks in the silty mud at the base of a glacier. Surprised a family of Asian tourists thrilled by my appearance as we took pictures for each other. 🥰 They followed me and saw how I got down to the entrance to the river ice cave and they had a great time there. Kids kept chanting my name. 🥺 150
Itunk Tanka @raccoonx.bsky.social · 13/07/2026I want to make trance but I always gravitate to this (possibly too) layered, experimental sound. 😆😵💫😏. 020
Itunk Tanka @raccoonx.bsky.social · 13/07/2026Summoned fire to try to delay the next 10+ days of rain. Good camp fire, but the rain arrived anyway. Will be good to ditch this weather and head north now that I have a working car again. 🐀 040
Itunk Tanka @raccoonx.bsky.social · 08/07/2026Fursuit kayaking with rainbows, god rays, glowing blue ice, and a drone. 🐀😎 Filmed last summer. 1111
Itunk Tanka @raccoonx.bsky.social · 06/07/2026POV: you are me turning into a rat in the forest, and it is awesome. The TPU feet will need to be repaired yet again, mainly the underside of the toes because of the intense stress forces on the foot. Not sure the best way to accommodate stretching outside of a different material. 040
Itunk Tanka @raccoonx.bsky.social · 05/07/20264th of July Alaska style: no official displays because it doesn't get dark enough to see fireworks. 😆 Just noisy puffs of smoke. Our main fireworks show is on New Years when the sun sets at 3:30pm instead of.... never. 030
Reposted by Itunk TankaSleepless Sheep @kalvinsteelhorn.bsky.social · 04/07/2026I still remember my time in Alaska last year with my friend ItunkTanka. Mayhapse we’ll meet again. 141
Itunk Tanka @raccoonx.bsky.social · 04/07/2026No heat dome here. Breezy 54F along south central coastal Alaska. 060
Itunk Tanka @raccoonx.bsky.social · 03/07/2026Without a car, life has lost meaning. 😭 Horrible, carless views. 120
Itunk Tanka @raccoonx.bsky.social · 01/07/2026My vehicle broke itself today. No idea how bad. It "luckily" happened right next to the only full mechanic within 120 miles. Now... no idea how long I will be "stranded." I was so annoyed that I said fuck this, I am going to packraft and hike back home, so I did. Felt much better after the end. 250
Itunk Tanka @raccoonx.bsky.social · 29/06/2026Making tracks in the world. This summer has been particularly gloomy and I have had to make it a point to get out because being inside all day sucks. 060
