Me: why is this the fourth time I've heard DJ Shadow this month??? Oh no 1996 is 30 years ago isn't it
Finally replaced my aging windows PC aka the video/audio production and 3d furry avatar render machine. I realized prices were only going to keep getting worse and I should get in now before the logistics tsunami really reaches us. If there's a durable good you know you'll need this year.... You might want to get on that

Laelia - Furcationland 2026 Dead Dog - Hyperpop, Club, Nightcore

As a rule, an opener should never, ever play tracks by someone later in the set order, *especially* if that artist is performing an entire hour of their own original material. This night I broke that rule in the most perfect way possible when I opened the Dead Dog at Furcationland 2026 with The Joy of Freedom by A-Saph, who was performing third on the roster. My complete failure to notice this oversight made for one of the most magical moments of the convention, which saw poor A-Saph desperately trying to figure out how their music could possibly be playing out over the main speakers, only to realize it's me. And thanks to my dumb doggy fursuit head, I couldn't understand the commotion around me and threw my hands up in confusion. It was a perfect and ridiculous moment that kicked off an incredible night of music. The cover shot comes from the end of the set, where I decided Tuna Display's hyperpop baroque rondo needed a conductor.

The Mixxx project supports this effort and encourages everyone to help sign this petition to get Open Source contributions recognized as volunteering in Germany. New blog post: https://mixxx.org/news/2026-04-21-petition-ehrenamt/

The PHP Foundation wants to publicly share our support for the petition that aims to classify open source contributions as officially recognized volunteer work in Germany. This is a very important distinction for all our open source friends and community members living in Germany, but anyone can sign the petition. It would also be appreciated if you want to spread the word and help us help the organizers reach the 30,000 signatures required to bring it to quorum. πŸ™ 🐘 πŸš€

Alright.

Deep breath.

This post has been brewing in my head for a while.

Let's talk about the pitfalls of presentation when you're new to transition as a transfem. It's a fraught topic, but I think it will help some of y'all.

Disclaimers.

One, I have my own biases. Some things I dislike and therefore will not judge them fairly. But that is, in part, the point. I am not trying to convert you to dressing the way I do. Goddess knows nobody should EVER dress the way I do ;3 this is to convince you to look at your own implicit assumptions and learn to pick what works for you.

Like, to get personal and petty for a second, I knew a trans girl who just *hated* black lipstick (which I love and occasionally use) and the way she would talk about it was very upsetting. She'd backpedal when I would say I liked the look. But it sucked to hear.

Relatedly and more importantly: if it works for you, then it's good. Nobody has to like your presentation other than you. If it doesn't work but you want it, then it does work!

Anyway, on to the meat. I'll go in neat sections, one per Toot. If you find advice that you think is good, Boost away :3
