       Pets - at Further Confusion 2020 - 📷 me - #FursuitFridayThis is my second attempt at posting. First time, I added a long alt text, and then accidentally deleted the image, so now I have to write it again.

       What I love the most about creating stories or games, the reason I keep trying despite not having an audience (or even wanting one), is the point where enough pieces fit together that the work becomes its own thing, not just mental masturbation. There's a shape to it that I'm discovering more than creating, and it's satisfying to help bring it to life, set it loose, and let it have an existence independent of me.... It's like abandoning a puppy on the roadside to make room for the next one.

       @sylvia_ritter "sensible data", do you mean "sensitive"?

       2014, my bf was fursuiting in downtown Portland with a few others. After, he wanted to take some pictures in front of the firehouse. While we were there, one of the big doors for the trucks started opening. We started leaving to get out of the way, but a guy came out and motioned for us to come in. He introduced us to his dalmatian, who was pretty excited to meet a big fluffy one.#fursuit #portland #dalmatian

       During the summer of the George Floyd protests, in the first year of pandemic, my pony surprised me by sending a video of him doing a drum cover of Sepultura Refuse/Resist while in rubber and pony gear. I had posted the video on Twitter, but that account's deleted now. I'll post the video here if I ever discover the incantation to reduce it to postable size.#rubber #ponyplay #drumming #sepultura

       3m29s of my pony playing the drums. he's an overachiever and I'm an underachieving shlub, so I'm a little bemused that he lets me do mean things to him. but I'm not going to look a gift pony in the mouth. (there are better things to do with his mouth.)#rubber #ponyplay #drumming #sepultura

       magic incantation to squish the video was`-vf "scale=iw/2:ih/2" -vcodec libx264 -preset veryslow`-vf to rescale was the most important to get it under the 40M limit. -vcodec is so mastodon doesn't try to re-encode it. not sure the compression -preset is necessary, but it worked, and I didn't try other settings.#ffmpeg

       @davidrevoy the sailors end up fighting each other, "she's mine!" etc, wrecking themselves, while the mermaid looks on with annoyance, "not again"
