"Come on dad, I want to play!"
"No"
"I can try to hunt you!"
"No"
"We can stalk mom!"
"No"
"Well, something then?"
"No"

She bit into his tail, got her play lesson. :neofoxgoogly:

#Leggy #ManedWolf

I felt followed. I think he wanted my lunch :neofoxsipnervous:

If you go there exactly at opening hours and immediately go there with the camera out :neofoxpeekowo:

But they are notoriously difficult to photograph. These are the only photos. I had to stand several meters away from the glass in a bad angle. Which makes for blurry photos. I wanted to get closer a bit but… vanished into the den. And as soon as visitors arrive they won't come out again for the rest of the day.

Oh yeah I realized I never posted my most recent mini on fedi

Behold! A maned wolf!

:neofoxsnug:

Foxes make me happy, now you have to suffer me spamming your timeline with the cutest fennec that ever lived, Helena. Always posing, always sleeping, always out to greet me.

Have some memories of her. 6 attachments but Mastodon will only load 4 of them I think. 5 and 6 are bonus blep and "so soft it should be illegal".

This fox is now armed with a elderberry flower, rhubarb and mint cocktail! Sans the required alcohol :neofoxgoogly:

Somehow the mint is growing faster than I can use it :neofoxgooglyshocked:

The printed stickers for our Fediverse meet-up at Eurofurence 30 are done! The beautiful art was done by @fennek :neocat_heart:

Like every year, you'll be able to grab them at our meet-up and (with some luck) at the sticker tables around the con! And if you can't make it to EF, I might be able to send you some by mail afterwards.

We will also have another little sticker-related surprise at the meet-up, so come join us at EF! The time & date for our meet-up will be announced as soon as the event schedule is finalized.

Thanks again to everyone who donated to make these possible!

Hello sloth valuers! #GoToSocial could use your help!

TL;DR, please help us by donating to our OpenCollective page so we (Tobi and Kim) can pay ourselves a basic monthly wage.

Long explanation:

In order to keep work on the GtS codebase buzzing along, Tobi and Kim have to perform the increasingly expensive chore of maintaining their flesh temples by consuming calories, keeping warm and dry (or cool and wet, depending on the circumstances), doing routine bodily maintenance, and so on. Not to mention paying for electricity, internet, etc.

The money we need for all this has so far largely been provided to us by NLnet, the Dutch organization that funds a lot of fediverse projects (among other interesting things). NLnet's support has been of incredible value. Indeed, without it GoToSocial would not exist in its current form; we'd have long since had to get "real jobs" and GtS would have been relegated to being a side project.

However, due to the way that funding from NLnet works, we get paid only for delivering features that we scope out long in advance of when the funding period actually begins. In other words, we get paid every time we merge a big feature, details of which are agreed up to a year beforehand. However, this payout happens only intermittently, since big features take a large amount of time to write.

As everyone who works on code knows, there's more to a project than just writing headline features. We don't get paid for spending time doing things like maintenance, bugfixes, small bonus features, refactoring, triage, helping people in the Matrix chats, code review, and what have you. So, the intermittent way that we get paid means we have to juggle working on very important but unpaid "maintenance" stuff, alongside paid "feature" stuff when our bank accounts start to look worryingly moth-filled. This causes semi-regularly panics in the both of us, as neither of us are particularly resilient when it comes to dealing with financial pressures.

To make working on GoToSocial more sustainable, then, we want to be able to pay ourselves--the two most active devs--a basic monthly salary for all the work we do that isn't big headline features. This will allow us to commit time to unglamorous but vital maintenance chores, without the constant background worry that by doing so we're going to end up running out of money at a critical moment. To make this happen, we need your help!

Thanks to all our donors on OpenCollective and Liberapay, we'd accrued enough unspent money over the years to be able to pay ourselves 1,000 EUR each, each month, for the months of February, March, April, and May 2026 (plus a little bit here and there from Liberapay). For transparency's sake, you can see those payouts here.

As you'll see from our OpenCollective budget, however, we don't make enough from donations to keep this up, and indeed at the time of writing we have only 2000 EUR left in our OpenCollective budget, which gives us ~3/4 of a month when accounting for ongoing hosting costs.

And so, we're asking you, dear sweet reader, sexy-ass cool reader, for a donation or two to our OpenCollective pot:

https://opencollective.com/gotosocial#category-CONTRIBUTE

With your help, we want to be able to raise about 2,500 EUR per month, so that we can continue to pay ourselves 1,000 EUR each per month, plus various other costs that are paid out of the OpenCollective.

Thank you for reading this absolute saga of a post, and for considering donating to us. We really appreciate it! :gtspat:
