I aggressively follow anyone who meets one of:
* we've met irl and had an actual conversation
* furry living in the same city
* working on a mutual project
* we're in the same online gaming group
If you were wondering where my follow came from, you're probably in one of those categories~

I stopped using it back when its flaws were more salient and we could post anywhere anyway. It'll take time to fit FA into my life again, if I ever do. But in this era where tech's mask is off and you can't trust any site you don't own, having a place of our own is super important. It needs to live
Feeling whiplash because if you asked furrys to fight to keep FA funded a decade ago they'd probably tell you its behind the times like Myspace & it should go under. Now FA is one of the few websites that's not enshitfied & after the staff change, one of the more trusted sites too.

Will put myself out there on here - I am ofc slinging applications left and right atm. Got a dozen done, but I am a Sr Technical Product Manager/Designer. I have over a decade in this profession. My skills are broad. If you know of an opportunity I'd love to check it out.

The only thing I got from trying to study the MS AI stuff they wanted me to study was intense boredom and the feeling that it's more important than ever to get all my shit out of the big tech cloud and onto our home servers. Super driven to get that done. Not giving my job extra energy until then

I'm enjoying personal projects way more than studying AI to try to shift internally into tech. Need more money at some point, but gonna focus on my own shit for now, health and home projects. Fuck corporate tech. At this point I'd even rather try sales, and that's a major shift

Wouldn't you know, when I'm way less stressed in general and get plenty of relaxation time, eventually the anxiety about random groups goes down enough to do roulettes in xiv. Still wouldn't do a PF group but it's something

Just finished setting up the fully automated lighting system I'd meant to forever. But what's next...
A) Going through a pile of old tech to wipe everything and get rid of it
B) Getting a DDR pad set up in the living room so tannyk (and maybe i) can use it for exercise

This is my life actually, pushing too hard then when I let myself relax I get just as much or *more* of my goals done.
Been mostly sitting in xiv doing all the side quests lately. But also getting shit done that's been on my list for a year

First bike commute with the heart rate monitor and holy crap, I've been pushing WAY too hard. Like I wouldn't be surprised if I was dead of a heart attack in some large percentage of alternate universes
Staying in heart rate zones 2&3 felt so slow. But the ride took the same amount of time >_>

Hit my usual weight loss wall in the 180s (as a short I'm aiming for 150s) but since i found a way to have some time for projects again I might be ok with that. Pause the weight loss, eat a maintenance amount for a while for the energy to use that time, and give it another push next spring

While doing movie reviews: Coyote vs Acme. Trite plot, doesn't make much sense, but James Gunn knows how to weaponize nostalgia like a motherfucker and coyote is cute. Worth it.

The further from watching Nolan's Odyssey the more I wish he had a lighter touch with his additions. They were good ideas, but I felt beat over the head. Maybe if I didn't already know about the bronze age collapse & sea peoples.

"Wtf I was feeling better, why'd you bring me to this wretched place?"
He's getting better a lot faster than expected, so probably not a deep joint injury like I thought. Still, he's old so needed an expert opinion

Somehow Scrambles injured himself while we were out of the house, in a way that might be a few weeks to recover. The worry at his age is he might get used to not moving and decline, but it's inspiring how stubborn he's being about continuing to do what he wants

Finally read up on WoW Forever after hearing a lot of praise. Looks interesting, but I had one hard requirement: No faction division. A lot of the Classic audience likes the split so I'm not surprised they're keeping it. But good to see it's not for me before investing time/$

Saw a quote attributed to Darwin saying if he could do life over he'd listen to music at least once a week
Here in 2026 if there isn't music in the background for 5 seconds people panic :0

Nightmare last night: snapped and did something horrible and had to live with the consequences for weeks
Then "woke up" and was wondering for days if I did that or it was just a dream
Then "woke up" again and thought when I actually wake up this is gonna suck
I think I'm awake now?

Seriously the most recent change I made might have switched the structure of my whole life, like a crystal reorganizing itself when one little section reorganizes. It feels great, and by comparison I'm like oh.. I've been feeling pretty shitty lately and didn't fully notice

Also back on caffeine, but this time mostly green tea and matcha. No coffee on workdays. And that's actually working, green tea doesn't fuck me up like coffee does for some reason

Noticed that work burns me out, making it a struggle to get random other needs done afterward. They hang over my head and I don't get to relax
So trying: don't start work until my daily shit is done. So far, wayyy better. Both at work and in life, finding the order I do things really matters

Fought off the con crud while Tannyk had it, but he passed it to Bery. The extra time in the house was what the crud needed to break down my defenses. I finally caught it a week after the con XD
