R.I.P. “Tiny Baby” ‘23 Chevrolet Bolt EV 2LT Sept. 2023 – Sept. 2026 You cost me insanely little money to run, and you allowed me to exact revenge on the worst of parkers. You also literally weighed two tons and frequently got stuck in wet grass.
A parked, oversized SUV with about a third of its width in another parking space, and a small electric vehicle fitting in that remaining space without going over the lines.  There’s about 5 cm between the cars.A small electric car stuck on a muddy hill inside a sheep farm.  The tow hook is attached to the front, and two planks of wood are situated in front of the tires.

I can’t say whether that’s the one who stole any fursuits, but that person definitely goes by Paw Rug and Dillon the Proto.

Well, I’ve finally started my feathersuit project in serious capacity. Not fursuit—a costume of a couple thousand or so individual fabric feathers. Bonkers, I know. First blog post: www.ssterling.net/furry/feathe.... I’ll use the #feathersuit hashtag, if you wanna follow! #fursuit #birds #furry

For the nerds amongst you: it took several days for me to figure out Docker containers don’t inherit host DNS configuration, which meant Authentik couldn’t resolve an address that was meant to be handled by our internal nameserver. I personally despise #docker

I was like, “What if I search for this name in the Discord guild associated with that old brony website?” No results. I thought I could probably add them as a friend with that username—we were already friends! Thus, I messaged them, trying my best to not sound like a total dick.

Sterling @ssterling.net · 29/01/2026
Basically, I couldn’t find anywhere on the Internet on which I could message them. I really didn’t wanna do a public mention or something here on Bluesky because, well, unnecessary drama (I just want my art!). I checked this evening out of curiosity, and discovered they changed usernames again.

Sterling @ssterling.net · 29/01/2026
Some backstory on this: I knew this person from an old brony website, and had them added on Facebook. They put out a YCH sorta thing, for which I messaged them, arranged terms and paid them. I didn’t get an affirmative update for months. Then they disappeared. I was salty for seven years.

After all these years, I think I can finally understand contemporary American conservatism. At their core, Trumpists are wholly incapable of comprehending why people would just… care about other people—at least without something in it for them. Disappointed. #trump #maga #uspol #conservative

I can’t really blame anyone in the process for not catching the original ref sheet being anisodactyl—basically every bird furry I know is anisodactyl. Now that I’m getting unsolicited fanart, though, I think it’s about time I got it fixed. uvu

NEW REF SHEET NEW REF SHEET!! Well, the same ref sheet by the wonderful @floop-deloop.bsky.social—except Andy’s actually zygodactyl now! And some other little spruce-ups, too, since Floop’s style has improved over the years (as it should uvu). #furry #refsheet #bird

Screenshot of Twitch chat messages.  First is from sterbirb, a channel founder: “make me mod so I can post links [sarcasm]”; followed by, in deemphasized text, “captinmangletty granted moderator privileges to sterbirb.”  Messages from sterbirb then say: “wait, I’m mod??” in all caps, and “anyway” followed by a link to a Twitch clip.  At the bottom, highlighted in vibrant purple, is: “captinmangletty added you as a Moderator of this channel!”
