๐Ÿ“ Anthro red fox, orange fur with brown feet/hands/ears and white muzzle/chest/tail-tip. Shy, quiet, tinkers with computers, electronics, writing, and art. Slow to respond, autistic traits, strives for kindness. Legally an adult, kid at heart. Black Lives Matter.

Social dynamics and relationships (not just romantic) are so incredibly complex.

Being caught up in some that fell apart (friends, relatives, groups), having dealt with some friendships of my own that fell apartโ€ฆ

There's so much hurt in the world.

Sometimes I have to remember thatโ€ฆ I can't fix it. I'm not responsible for everything just because I happened to be close to some/all folks involved.

I can only hold on to the way some friend groups I'm in have grown and partially overlapped/merged. Don't only think about the ones that have splintered or exploded.

Andโ€ฆ I'm not responsible for keeping up with everyone. If friend groups splinter, I have to make hard choices on where to spend my limited time and energy. It's not critiquing folks to not take their side of a given fork.

Still.

It hurts to feel connections deteriorate.

When you see someone posting themselves posing in fursuit, and want to compliment their paws, but you don't know if they're comfortable with that attentionโ€ฆ

Better to err on the side of caution, unless someone says otherwise.

Flashback to the time I accidentally submitted an MLP birthday fic I wrote for a friend instead of my resume.

I didn't get the job.

I checked out Horizon Worlds two years ago and wrote about my experiences, comparing it to Rec Room and VRChat. Horizon World is about to be pulled from VR platforms, so that's a fun time capsule now!

My opinions have changed a bit over time, but now we know that even with the near-unlimited time and resources of a big tech company, Meta could not come close to what the furries have cooked up in VRChat.

Across the Metaverse: My trip though VR social platforms

I tried out VRChat, Meta Horizon Worlds, and Rec Room. Each one makes a different case for the future of social gameplay.

The Spacebar

After about 3 years, my open source smart watch (Bangle.js 2) died, with the Bluetooth antenna inside disconnecting from the main board.

A known issue that I could fix with some careful disassembly (temperature controlled hotplate to melt the glue holding the transflective LCD screen in place), but I don't have those tools yet and I've already got other projects to tackle, so.. I bought another one. Pebble (repebble) looks promising, but it's close to twice the price, still preorder, and only has a 30 day (!) warranty for now. Bangle.js is one year.

(I've heard some folks with this issue have gotten a 50% discount on a new watch outside of warranty, bringing it down to material cost. I didn't want to wait and did want to contribute more to Bangle.js development.)

Thanks to Gadgetbridge for an open design, where I could just swap the device ID in the database to have all my steps now attributed to the new watch, and I could fake steps for the days I was without a syncing watch.

Is your fursonas main form feral or anthro?
Feral
Anthro
I use both equally as much/ no main form

Always a weird feeling when you go to send someone you haven't talked to recently a compliment, only to see that their account is gone.

This one is almost done! Only Space Fox remains.

But in the meantime, Placeholder Fox gets to go on a test flight!
