Uhm, hi. I decided to get a new partial because I wanted a functional suit. This is by @kraficat.bsky.social. Thank you! <3 #FursuitFriday

Photo of a partial fursuit including head, tail, and hands, based on a gecko with kitsune-inspired white and red patterns and red horns. The wearer is also wearing a red rope necklace with a bell, a purple Furality hoodie, short, black skirt, and black and white-striped thigh highs. The wearer is leaning forwards towards the camera with their hands on their knees.

New art from @arizonevibes.bsky.social from a fundraiser for @scottderg.bsky.social. I love this art style. <3

System Shock 2 does this, too, and I can't focus on anything else when I see it.

Some new art from @jonnyloaf.art featuring very good friend @nabalazs.bsky.social. <3 Thank you so much for this.

There's a typical kind of Discord spam bot that generates a name using a random forename and surname and four random numbers, and this one just joined a server.

Happy Pride Month. ❤ So, uhm. This has been a weird year for me. I finally confirmed something that I've always suspected but never had proof; it turns out that I wasn't born male. I'll probably never know the full story, but it still explains a lot. I'm happy to finally be sure.

It was @zaezar.bsky.social who encouraged me to start doing this. It's encouraging to realise that an artist will know how to make it into a proper composition when you can't. I scrawled this in GnuIMP for my last cover art and @pirxyl.bsky.social did a beautiful job of bringing the idea to life.

While clearing out bot accounts from a Discord server, today, I came across one that tried to make an LLM-generated bio but used the LLM's response of being confused about their prompt as the bio instead.

A Discord bot account's bio that reads "Could you clarify what you mean by 'furry shot bio'? Here are a few possible interpretations-let me know which one you're going for:" and nothing else.

Today, I achieved something that I've been working on for 23 years, having to restart through all (Substance+) re-releases of Metal Gear Solid 2: Substance. I got the top score in every single VR mission in the game. All 500 of them. (Orange names means all top scores in that category.)

I don't like to whine about this in public, but... as a genuine question, what am I doing wrong? The posts about my new music were shared collectively a couple of hundred times and not a single one of those even turned into a listen, let alone a download. Am I really that uninteresting?

If you'd like to support an independent disabled artist, my new song is up on Bandcamp, Ko-Fi and other sites. ❤ If I could at least make back the licensing fee that I had to pay to release it, that would mean a lot to me.

Non-gif version of the image because Bluesky made it blurry and I want people to be able to see @pirxyl.bsky.social's art as intended.

An anthropomorphic pool toy Mexican red-knee tarantula sits on a cloud, looking upwards. Stars and space can be see in the background. At the top of the image, a cityscape can be seen upside-down, making it apparent that the spider is actually hanging on the bottom of the cloud and looking down at the city. The text reads: "Dream Operator

A little late because I just got out of hospital (I'm fine <3), but Dream Operator, the song that I wrote for Furality Somna, will be released on Bandcamp and the music video on YouTube next Friday, August 8th, with releases on streaming platforms following ASAP! Art by @pirxyl.bsky.social. 🧡

There's a lot more to say, but so little space to say it. Thank you for helping me be a little piece of history.

I think that I need to work on the variety of things that I post on Bluesky.

Seven different posts from myself on Bluesky, all of which are minor variations of "Thank you so much".

Got this pride virtual pet commission from @steelsoldier.bsky.social <3 I've been a big fan of their pixel art style for a long time and I'm so happy to get something like this from them. Happy Pride Month! <3 (Reposted to add alt-text just to find that you can't put alt-text on gifs sorry. X..x)

So, uhm. Hi. I guess that this is my first ever #FursuitFriday post. I know that these photos aren't very good; I had to prop up my phone camera on a table. I'll get better ones when I can find someone to help me take them. I'm just too excited to not show it now. Suit is by Gobiton Studios. <3
