When I got my Trabant back in 2023 it was extremely obvious that the gearbox was unhealthy based on the "interesting" noises it made. Finally got around to swapping it at the weekend. Three years in I STILL keep being surprised how pleasant this car is to work on.

🐺🔊 "Your song stirs something deep within Like chords pulling straight from memory can't find the words, they still remain veiled Yet I know it is old, I know that it's forgotten" Upon hearing this mesmerizing wolf harmony words fail me, so I borrowed these from Einar Selvik (Wardruna - Grá)

One of the furry community's originals, Roz Gibson, is in really big trouble. She is in kidney failure, and needs a donor, so please reskeet. www.furaffinity.net/journal/1138...

I’ve thought long and hard about making this post, but really, at this point, I don’t have much to lose. Desperate times, and all that.

TLDR version: I need a kidney transplant, and I’m looking for a donor. Read below for all the gory details.

Since late 2019, right before Covid hit, I’ve been battling a serious illness. I’ve been kind of cagey about what exactly is wrong, for a number of reasons, but here’s the truth—I’m in full kidney failure.

There is no history of this in my family, so when the symptoms began appearing I didn’t recognize them until it was too late. By the time I went to a doctor my kidney function had dropped into the single digits. Most kidney failure is caused by diabetes or high blood pressure—I got some weird kidney disease I can’t even pronounce and never heard of: Oxalate Nephropathy.

By adopting some dietary changes and careful monitoring, I was able to limp along with reduced kidney function for several years. But you don’t appreciate how much your kidneys do to keep you healthy until they stop working. There’s constant fatigue and nausea, and a general feeling of unwellness that never goes away.

But eventually I lost even what minimal function I had left, which left the end of the line for kidney disease: dialysis. As of this point I’ve been on dialysis for about 3 years. Let me tell you—dialysis is its own special kind of hell that you wouldn’t wish on your worst enemy.

But even that is just a stop-gap measure, and my condition is continuing to get worse. Despite this, I’m trying my best to live as normal a life as possible. I’m extremely lucky I have a job that’s willing to allow me 9 hours a week for dialysis, so I’m still working. On weekends I work on my art and comics, and one or two days a month I do my volunteer work at the bird-banding site. I can even travel to see my family—if I arrange for dialysis at a local clinic ahead of time.

All of that is done while trying to deal with the symptoms of kidney failure. I’ve known 4 people who were on dialysis—none of them worked or really did much of anything, and at this point they’re all dead, which doesn’t really give me a lot of hope for my future.

Which brings us to the point of all this—I desperately need a kidney transplant. That is the only thing that will give me a chance at a relatively normal life. I’ve been approved and on the transplant list for a few years, but the waiting period in California is very long. By the time I get to the top of it, I may be too sick to get one. Right now I’m still in relatively good condition, comparatively. A transplant from a living donor lasts much longer and is better in every way than one you get from a deceased donor.

Unfortunately, everyone in my immediate family is too old or has other health problems that preclude donation. So this post is a desperate attempt to find anyone willing to donate. I realize donating a kidney is a lot different than giving ten bucks to a GoFundMe, but as I said at the beginning, at this point I don’t have much to lose by asking.

Here is the living donor site: https://www.uclahealth.org/medical-.....t/living-donor

You can inquire and even arrange to donate completely anonymously if that’s what you want. Hopefully there’s a Jack Salem fan out there who wants to see the stories (and the artist) continue for years to come.

That is all.

This #FursuitFriday spans eight years. Back at Scotiacon 2018 I utilised the shopping bag hook of @doraneirok.bsky.social to hang my connbadges on. At ConFuzzled this year, with me finally getting a suit he had his chance for revenge and did the same to me. I absolutely deserved that.

Sudden realisation that I can totally do #FursuitFriday posts now... So here's me considering what to happen to next. Snapped at Cfz 2026 by @doraneirok.bsky.social during the suit's first outing. Made by @creaturecave.co.uk - sure there will be plenty more of these to come in future.

There's far too much stress and negativity in the world right now, so have a picture of a very happy rottie.

Zelandeth Sulanast @zelandeth.bsky.social · 05/05/2026

Hmm...I wonder if pretty much the entire upper drop link bush being missing in action might be responsible for the god awful clonking noise from that corner of the Rover P4. Other side isn't far behind. New pair ordered.

Zelandeth Sulanast @zelandeth.bsky.social · 01/05/2026

Hardly groundbreaking, but any progress is progress. Figure this wire just being stuffed into the connector rather than being you know...connected...might have something to do with the temperamental brake warning light (especially having been here with my last P4). Light on the dash now works.

Zelandeth Sulanast @zelandeth.bsky.social · 29/04/2026

All of the engine bits are now back in the engine bay rather than the boot. Progress! Carb still needs a little dialling in, but running far better now I've set the tappets, brought some sanity to the carb settings and got the timing somewhere vaguely close to right. Onto the rear brakes next.

Quick and easy improvement job on the Rover before lunch today. The random neon red HT leads had been making my teeth itch since the day the car arrived here. I'd like to go back to the factory setup at some point but it's a fair way down the wish list yet. Discreet will do for now!

Zelandeth Sulanast @zelandeth.bsky.social · 11/04/2026

I'll take that, especially after last week's foul up. Had me going initially as we had a tight intake valve on no 5 so I had a dead miss initially. Oil change now, then get the valve clearances set properly rather than by Mk I Eyeball as we have so far.

I have now joined the club of Rover P4 110 owners who have made the mistake of forgetting to put the fluffing O-ring that sits between the head and water pump in place before installing the cylinder head. D'OH! I'm not the first and I definitely won't be the last to do this!

Communism meets capitalism. What better car to take to Costco than the Trabant? Yes I know I also have a huge Volvo estate, don't bring logic into this...

Life's far too serious, so to lighten the mood, here's a picture of a Bentley parked next to a Trabant. Not a combination you're likely to stumble across too often.

Random thing which is annoying me today. Why in Windows can I not customise system keyboard shortcuts? I do not have a Windows key not media shortcut keys. I do however have a whole bunch of function keys which spend 99.9% of the time doing nothing. Just let me use them!

After far too long parked under a tree next to my driveway waiting for me to get a replacement engine installed, my Trabant is back on the road. Now I just need to scrub off 9 months of tree gunk...Won't that be fun.

Zelandeth Sulanast @zelandeth.bsky.social · 19/02/2025

Looks like the Trabant will be back in action soon. New engine is mostly built up now. Just need to time the ignition side, fit the clutch then it should be ready to go back in the car.

I am officially in the market for a replacement engine for my Trabant. Or if it's cheap enough, a good core to rebuild. This one has damage to basically everything aside from the external components. Anyone in the UK got one available they'd be willing to part with?

Zelandeth Sulanast @zelandeth.bsky.social · 16/02/2024

Well I think I can pretty comprehensively say that I have found the cause of the loss of compression on cylinder number 1. Just waiting for a new pair of head gaskets (I'll do both cylinders while I'm in here anyway) to turn up then we should be back up and running.
