New fresh con badge illustrated by the wonderful @grion during Goldenhorn! I cannot overstate how much I love her style and I'm really happy with how it turned out. 🦝💜

e621 is currently under fire because the website "e6ai", which I was made aware of a while ago is actually operated by e621 staff. If your art is available on e621, I'd suggest looking into doing takedown requests.

Thread with information is on Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/thekoboldking.bsky.social/post/3mz23fg5dek2j

I was made aware of this through another post by Keffotin https://bsky.app/profile/keffotin.girlcock.org/post/3mz2pzyxwhc26

I currently do not see anyone else on fedi posting about this which is why I am doing so right now. If you wish to further discuss this, please do not tag me in the replies/discussions as I do not wish to see arguments about AI.

So a couple weeks ago I unfortunately ended up losing a pretty good water bottle I won during WHY Camp last year because I left it on the Eurostar home on the way back from Deadline. A few hours after I realized it was missing, I sent an email to lost property and they never got back to me after 7 days so I am going to assume it was either stolen or thrown out which is a shame. I really liked that bottle.

I checked on the website to see how much it would be to order a replacement and it costs a ridiculously stupid amount if they were to ship to the UK. The bottle was a thermo one by Dopper https://shop.dopper.com/bottles and it'd be nice if I could get a new one without having to ship it to the UK somehow.

Might try and do a music entry for deadline, any genre suggestions? I need a bit of inspiration

NO I MISSED IT AGAIN

not 13:37 here any longer but I can say what I want because it is my birthday

If anyone is feeling particularly generous, I'd highly appreciate any money donations as gifts to help me with continued food and travel expenses

Myself and Freja's Eurofurence 30 demoscene showcase is now live on YouTube!

Special thanks to @TomTheDragon & Josh for providing us with an Amiga again and also helping out making sure our audio recording setup could be better than last year.

Also a huge thank you to the @eurofurence events team for providing us with a bigger panel room and a bigger sound system for presenting the demos! This has been our biggest panel yet :blobraccoon_heart:

See you again next year!!!

So myself and Freja are thinking about coming to 40c3 this year, but both of us have a very small budget and would need help figuring out accomodation. If anyone has any suggestions, knows anyone we could crash with or somewhere we can get a discount on a hotel please let me know.

I'm also considering travelling in to Germany before Christmas because of how bad transport connections are from the UK after Christmas.

We haven't started to plan anything yet, but it would be nice if we could both attend together this year.

EDIT: Freja probably won't be able to attend due to how much travel costs to get to Hamburg from Finland, on top of not being able to budget a hotel room. If anyone is interested, I will research an airbnb for 3 and I am happy to split the cost if Freja can't make it.

This placed 2nd in the compo, and I earned some nice Viking Line merch as a prize.

My "new age" music entry for JML 2026.

"The kind of music you'd probably hear on those touch operated CD players at seaside town gift shops in the UK, I think. OpenMPT + Synth1 VST"

I decided to stay awake all night to make this one lol

Went to a BBQ restaurant with Jumalauta and there was furry art placed in one of the windows

It's bandcamp Friday again, I still haven't managed to release a new album yet but please pay what you wish for my old one.

battery low :battery_low:

I'm back at the Clarion again, where did all the furries go?

I am posting on the internet

Seems there is even more chatter going on in #furry and #ef30 as well

Ooh, I've already managed to make contact with two furries via meshcore from our hotel room! We are currently chatting in the Eurofurence channel.

I really don't want to draw too much attention towards myself with these financial struggle posts, I don't like money in the first place.
