I just read that Snap E Tiger @bycats4cats.bsky.social passed away last night due to a heart attack.

He was one of the original suiters / makers I met in the fandom long ago, the pic is from 2001 MFF of his velcro tiger suit.

You'll be missed, my friend.

lunar agriculture needs to be a thing! and scientists are starting to take the first step towards making that rrealit. #stem #moon #agriculture #news #nasa TikTok video by SocksFur

As always, it's available on the other site. And I post it here for people who don't go there anymore.

Honestly, I want to see this story go bigger. Because it has earthly implications too. But that's a video for another time, and somebody who's a botanist.

Lunar agriculture needs to become a thing if anyone wants to create a permanent base on the moon. Scientists have taken the first step towards making that a reality.

Yes, I know horrible things are happening in the world. I'm choosing to report something fun and hopeful. I'm allowed.

I, for one, am eagerly awaiting the same people who vandalized gas pumps with stickers a few years ago to no pick up the new version, and vandalize them again.

Joke post, we all know they won't ever admit they got duped.

I am exhausted today.

You ever go to sleep, and you dream about just needing to sleep, and in the dream everyone and everything is waking you up and you never get to sleep in your dream, and you wake up feeling like you haven't slept at all?

So yeah, I'm "walking wounded" exhausted today.

this is a rare news story that made me almost fall out of my chair in disbelief. but, sources seem solid. #currentevents #newstok #news #iranwar TikTok video by SocksFur

As always, it's available on the other site too. Although I'm fully expecting to get false flag attacked on it by Christians who believe I'm attacking them directly.

Because they always use violence. No hate like Christian love, right?

And in today's news bit, US soldiers are being told that combat operations in Iran are God's Divine plan.

No, you didn't read that wrong. No, I'm not surprised either.

Frustration is when someone reposts a comment, which in itself is a repost with comment, in which the original comment has been deleted.

So now there's a no context post which hints at something bigger & news-breaking, but doesn't offer enough context clues to let me find what the hell is going on.

SKipping today, sorry.

I just don't have the spoons to deal with audience reaction to the news I'm seeing.

And I don't feel like suiting up right now, I really don't feel like I've got anything left right now.

I'm not going to do that, but right now, as I'm staring at a news feed knowing that a video would perform well but get me more comments like "I'm going to kill myself" & "well my future is fucked, thanks news raccoon"...

The idea of just using something else's words as a shield is appealing.

It's moments like this that I get the draw for AI.

I'm burned out of content creation, but my videos don't get traction unless I'm constantly churning out content for the platform. The easiest way to do that is have someone else churn out scripts for you, like an AI that doesn't get burnout.

It's been 12 hours since I posted that, I've slept, eaten, caffeinated, and I'm still not ok.

I know what I need to make things better, but it doesn't exist. At least not in any way that would really help.

So I think I'll power through a video, I don't know anymore.

Posted this video earlier today on TikTok. 851 views.

The doom-scroll feeding video I posted YESTERDAY about the Hegseth presser? 7,064 views.

And a video I posted 3 days ago on an alt account that I don't share here? 0 views.

I get what they're pushing, and it's making me really depressed.

*Out in the middle of nowhere Wisconsin where the light pollution is lower but they still have street lights in the parking lots 'cuz civilization.

It took me a while to drive there, but not so long I thought I could make it before the show started.

I'm tired now tho.

The Lunar "Blood Moon" eclipse was a bust for me. it looked promising at 3:00 a.m., then the clouds rolled in at 4:00 and no moonlight was visible at all. but I tried! but at least I had a backup plan... TikTok video by SocksFur

And, as always, it's available on the other site too. If you're so inclined.

I get a feeling it's not going to get traction there because it's too dark. They do that sometimes. But I really don't care this time cuz this one's for me.

So, because of cloud cover my plan to view and record the lunar blood moon eclipse was a bust. But, I had a backup plan.

Hey, I get to have fun sometimes. Especially when plan a goes belly up.

Woke up 1 AM to be out the door by 3:15 AM to see the blood moon eclipse at 5 AM.

The sky turned from "a couple of clouds" at 3 to "so overcast there's no visible moonlight at all" by 4.

Dammit.

At least it's being livestreamed by a few observatories, so I can "see" it. Not the same tho.

So, I'm awake to see the eclipse tonight. It'll start around 2:45 AM, blood moon around 5. Problem is, it's "partly cloudy".

I'm gonna try to go out and see it anyway, but my brain is doing this right now.

I would get thrown out of a press pool these days. because I would ask Hegseth specifically about things like this. #news #newstok #currentevents TikTok video by SocksFur

This is something that I caught while suffering through the DoD press event. And this is why I would get thrown out of modern pressers, cuz I would ask him specifically to clarify this.

I think we all know what he means, especially anybody who's been downrange.

And, just to spike the guns on people, yes I'm aware of the "media bias" of the source of the screenshot. THAT IS THE FUCKING POINT OF SHOWING IT TO YOU!

I'm doing a different video than that today though, I think I've had enough high stress for a week.

I got violently sick while making the video for last night. I took that as my brain telling my body to tell my brain to stop doing something I didn't want to do.

But there's one line I want to put out there.

What Trump just did was make Ayatollah Ali Khamenei a martyr, during Ramadan. - Just wow.
