Mossy Feathers (She/They)

I live in a small town in europe, built a house and well it takes me about 25 minutes to the next bigger city (not huge one, lets say 50.000 people live there.

I sometimes find myself getting frustrated because the next gym is 7 minute drive by car to another smaller town.

It took me about 15min to get to a furry meetup today. I live in the same city as the meetup. I have a friend who regularly drives across town to see their boyfriend. They’re over an hour away from each other. They live in the same county iirc.

That’s just how things go.

As for cost, look into parks and stuff like that. Meet people at parks or libraries. If nothing exists, start something. Distribute pamphlets. Look for hobby sites that let you advertise meetups. Go on dating sites and invite a bunch of people to a date at the same place so y’all can play Mario kart together. Pass out flyers. You can do it!

You can have mine, hot lady, I don’t want it c:

Is there a way to set up a vps as a seedbox with a cloud storage provider as storage? VPSes have almost no storage, and I already have a cloud storage provider with a fuckton of space; so spending $30+ a month on a dedicated seedbox seems unnecessary.

Nope, they’re mostly all bark, no bite. You have to actually harass them to get them to bite you, even if they’re showing their teeth. Their bite strength is one of the lowest among mammals too. That said, supposedly their teeth are actually really sharp.

Alright, so, in Texas you’re not allowed to own an opossum as a pet. There is no license for owning a pet opossum (they’re “fur-bearing animals”). However, there is a license that’ll let you kill opossums for their fur. Furthermore, said license allows you to trap them. The interesting part is that there’s no legal requirement for you to actually kill the opossum if you trap one. You can trap the opossum and take possession of it for however long you like.

So basically a hunting license (might have been a trapping license?) lets you effectively own an opossum as a pet in Texas!

Edit: also, yes, opossums are as soft as they look, which is why people used to hunt them for their fur. I got a chance to pet one and it was about as soft, if not softer, than a cat. Also very boney, like cats.

What’s that? A cure? I don’t know what you’re talking about *raises insulin prices another 1000%*

I don’t have a choice. Being trans is part of my identity, whether I like it or not. It’s not a diagnosis, it’s a label describing who I am. The idea of having to “boy-mode” the rest of my life because I have to bend to the will of some dumbass, PoS Karen who’s own family doesn’t love her, just because she might get offended by who I am is extremely painful. There’s a reason why suicide rates are extremely high among trans people. I cannot change who I am. I cannot cover it up forever. There will become a point at which, no matter how hard I try, it will become obvious that I’m trans.

Don’t say gay, don’t act gay, don’t be gay. That’s what “don’t say gay” is, and that’s exactly what OP is advocating for. And no, it shouldn’t matter if you’re straight or gay, but it does matter because there are more hateful idiots out there than there are loving people.

Your comment suggests you are affected by it, because you suggest that you can’t be open about it.

Furthermore, it doesn’t matter if you keep it to yourself, alt-righters love doxxing LGBT people and reporting them to their workplace. I have a trans friend who’s roommate was abusive, and he’d report her to her workplace as having lied on her resume. She went through several jobs as a result of trying to keep her identity a secret like you, because her roommate reporting her and getting her fired (she eventually found a job that didn’t give a fuck about her being trans, told him to go fuck himself and helped her move away from him).

Quite honestly I’m amazed this post has been left up because it’s basically “don’t say gay”. “Just don’t talk about it and it’s not an issue”. Yeah, it kinda is a problem if Karen gets pissed off because she saw me giving my boyfriend a smooch when he drops me off at my workplace.

You can travel through space too, but again, it won’t affect the world you physically reside in.

😔

Your brain is a time machine. However, it cannot effect the reality that you physically reside in.

Yeah, uh, communication is an important part of a relationship. If your partner gets mad because you ask “what’s wrong” then you might need to have a talk with them. If they refuse then it’s probably time to walk away.

Most of the stuff I torrent is off archive.org nowadays, but I’ve found way too many archive.org torrents that sit at 99.7% complete. I can’t figure out why that is. I’ve tried rechecking, redownloading, and so forth, but it just… Doesn’t finish.

Yeah, there’s no way I’ll ever be able to afford to live somewhere like Seattle.

Yep, that’s my point. I’ve lived in Texas all my life and never heard someone discharge a gun outside of a legal area. You’ve lived in Texas for 30 years and heard guns being fired regularly despite being in the city.

Don’t get me wrong, Texas is fucked in many ways, and while I’ll be sad to leave the scenery and ecology behind, I won’t be sad to leave the people (except my friends who live here).

What state/city is this in? That sounds really nice, though I’m guessing it’s a very expensive place to live. Seems like you either get cheap and hateful, or expensive and tolerant in the US.

Edit: I actually really wanna know. Depending on the cost of living it might become my no. 1 destination.

I live in Texas, I’ve never had a gun go off near me outside of a gun range or rural area (where it’s legal and acceptable). Anecdotal experiences can be wild, right?

I’m trans. America’s right-wing, who are now in control, have repeatedly talked about how America needs to be purged of “transgenderism”.

Don’t be an asshole, lmao. You complain about Americans being bloodthirsty fucks and then you turn around and act like the typical “snooty, judgmental and condescending euro-prick” stereotype we have here in the states.

The reason why I’m engaging with you is because you’re not wrong, America has become extremely angry and bloodthirsty. However, that doesn’t give you an excuse to be condescending about it.

It fucking sucks, yo. “That’s just how life is” is becoming my mantra. Quite honestly, I’m not sure I’ll ever find a place where I’ll feel safe, secure and supported. I don’t think trans people get to have all three, nor will we ever.
