Being a vendor at every furry con you attend means you get to suit for like 15 minutes when you should already be going to sleep

I'm so mad. I was recovering great from this mouth trauma and just needed something simple done today that should've been the end to this nightmare. They couldn't have possibly fucked it up worse.

Werewolves done. I still have some gryphons to do, 2 big cons to prep for, and we're butting up against carrion baggage fulfilment starting but it was the wolves wrecking me. I swear I lost like 30lbs from not eating or sleeping, if I don't wear a belt my pants fall right off.

Absolutely sick of "not willing to perform labor-intensive educational work for free on command for literally any person that asks" being called gatekeeping.
Same with "not being willing to sit down and make a personalized step by step because you asked about something complicated and variable"

@aetusart.com I hope your panel goes great! Happy to see some good avian stuff on the scehdule.
I really wanted to go but couldn't make it. Is this something you've repeated at other cons? I'll keep an eye out and maybe get to actually see it next time LOL

GenAI has polluted image search results, especially for animal pics. It’s now basically impossible to find accurate art references.
Enter this: a repository of open-access, AI-free images of wild & exotic taxa. Artists creating *without AI* have blanket permission for derivative/transformative use.

MAN I hate etsy and cannot wait for the day I don't need to sell on there. I feel less like an artist using a platform and more like an overworked contractor that the company strings along so they can avoid paying salary and benefits every time they pull some new bullshit.

BJ hates the heat and Nana is super cold intolerant. Nanners roosts against 2 outdoor walls so when it's really cold she gets super chilly, but I can't turn up the heat enough to negate it or it'll roast BJ.
Luckily she's so tiny and sweet I can just set her on the warm bathroom shelf and she stays

I hate that I take a timelapse of every bit of art I do, and I have to put the time and space in to archiving it all just in case, but I can't really share any of it with any peace of mind because they could just be stolen to teach AI how to fake that too.

I get that big charismatic species carry conservation efforts as a general rule but man I am sick to shit of seeing stuff about reviving mammoths. Sure, it drums up buzz. It also does not have the well-being of the resulting animals in mind at all. That should be the first thought, imo.

I asked my wife to maybe take some pictures while we were at the fursuit playground at Aquatifur '24 and there is a hilarious but concerning number of me falling or being a pile on the floor

Hardest education learning curve for a new hobby is when you run out of youtube tutorials with decent audio and just have people making the nastiest mouth sounds every third word. Absorb that info? Nah, too distracted by the warfare of dryish mouth lip smackers eating their mics vs. my autistic ears
