There’s an artist whom I commissioned in 2019. Messaged her a month or so ago, got told she’d start it tomorrow. Ignored me after that.

I was like, “What if I search for this name in the Discord guild associated with that old brony website?” No results. I thought I could probably add them as a friend with that username—we were already friends! Thus, I messaged them, trying my best to not sound like a total dick.

Basically, I couldn’t find anywhere on the Internet on which I could message them. I really didn’t wanna do a public mention or something here on Bluesky because, well, unnecessary drama (I just want my art!). I checked this evening out of curiosity, and discovered they changed usernames again.

Some backstory on this: I knew this person from an old brony website, and had them added on Facebook. They put out a YCH sorta thing, for which I messaged them, arranged terms and paid them. I didn’t get an affirmative update for months. Then they disappeared. I was salty for seven years.

I just messaged a furry artist asking for an update on my commission. It’s been seven years. No, this is not a joke.

After all these years, I think I can finally understand contemporary American conservatism. At their core, Trumpists are wholly incapable of comprehending why people would just… care about other people—at least without something in it for them. Disappointed. #trump #maga #uspol #conservative

"The federal government wants to kidnap little children. Why are the teachers who have sworn to protect those little children helping thwart the government's kidnapping plans?" is a question that can only be uttered by the most unfeeling ghouls on the planet.

The Weaselfish Farm A small, co-op modded Minecraft server run by Polaravega and Sterling.

I can’t really blame anyone in the process for not catching the original ref sheet being anisodactyl—basically every bird furry I know is anisodactyl. Now that I’m getting unsolicited fanart, though, I think it’s about time I got it fixed. uvu

NEW REF SHEET NEW REF SHEET!! Well, the same ref sheet by the wonderful @floop-deloop.bsky.social—except Andy’s actually zygodactyl now! And some other little spruce-ups, too, since Floop’s style has improved over the years (as it should uvu). #furry #refsheet #bird

sterbirb - you have crabs? Watch sterbirb's clip titled

I desperately need a new mic with hardware-adjustable gain—one which allows me to be closer than six inches before it peaks at normal speaking volume. That being said, this clip is still fucking hilarious: www.twitch.tv/sterbirb/cli... #twitch #streaming #minecraft

Will do. Sorry for the late reply; I have to manually check for replies from my actual Bluesky account, and sometimes I just forget.

Screenshot of Twitch chat messages.  First is from sterbirb, a channel founder: “make me mod so I can post links [sarcasm]”; followed by, in deemphasized text, “captinmangletty granted moderator privileges to sterbirb.”  Messages from sterbirb then say: “wait, I’m mod??” in all caps, and “anyway” followed by a link to a Twitch clip.  At the bottom, highlighted in vibrant purple, is: “captinmangletty added you as a Moderator of this channel!”

That early ‘20s rage comic renaissance meme wherein insane trollface guy barricades himself with a rifle from herp derp UN agents entering; but instead of corn syrup, the agents say “Recommended for you:” and show an ASMR YouTube short of a tomato with a baby’s face; and the trollface says “I HATE AI” four times over.
