I'm done with Mastodon. Never got enough engagement here and no longer find it worth checking on.
Deleted all of my posts (toots) and I'm going to be exclusively on BlueSky going forward. Make a note.
This account goes dark on January 15th.
Peace out.
For those of us who live in the South, and who don't have a safe place to be comfortable with our sexuality, we live our existence in the closet. Forced there by isolation and ostracism from family and religion alike, it means a lot of LGBTQ+ people have to seek out the Internet for companionship and (in cases) sex.
@BoozyBadger Like I said, my fursona's a jackalope.
Also: thanks for the follow! (I'm super low-key on the bird site these days.)
Why a jackalope? I don't see too many of 'em in the furry community, plus I've been to Wall Drug out in South Dakota and my fat ass has been on the fiberglass one a time or two. (I also have a stuffed one, and his name is Caleb after one of my dearly departed friends.)
He's 6'5" or so (if you don't measure the antlers) and the only people who know his weight are at the feed store or the sale barn. He prefers to get paid for his hard work in cold beer, rather than cold hard cash.
So, this happened. After a year of waiting patiently, a chap in the UK told me I was next in line for a commission. He tends to draw things exaggerated, and I proposed to him the idea of a jackalope. A few dollars exchanged and some ideas sketched out, but here's Vernell Ray.
My two middle names smushed together and my late father's middle name.
He's a retired trucker, too fat for the open road. So he's settled into being a damn good mechanic with a hefty appetite.
@boysmashy (a) I used to be much bigger. North of 340. Then diabetes and, in recent years, a lack of money for food made most of it go away. I'm a comfortable 220 pounds, but still plenty of meat on the bones
(b) I'm on the opposite of things: a member that people seem to be more enthralled with than the person it's attached to. My libido's up and down due to missed puberty and missed opportunities.
(c) I don't have body issues like others do. I've made peace with it for the most part.
