NOW MORE CROC
For a little while I've been wanting to refresh Cyrik's design to incorporate as many crocodile features as possible. When @npub1hrv…5668 opened for ref sheet comms, I had to jump on the chance. Through two pages of notes they totally got what I was going for and even made a couple suggestions that are now in the design. It's so cool, thanks so much!
(The ref sheet isn't explicit but he is in briefs so I'm masking it to be extra-safe.)

At IFC my sister asked what furry meant to me, and my answer was too long, but one thing I stumbled on that I hadn't considered before was: for guys specifically, it's a space where we can express love and affection for each other that doesn't have to be smothered in shit-talking, and nobody cares whether it's "gay," and it doesn't have to be sexual.
Like, some dudes have never been pat on the head and called a good boy, and y'all, we gotta fix that. We are living with the consequences of too many dudes not getting that.

#Python tip: If you're writing a script in the "traditional Unix" style, where it streams input from one or more sources and defaults to stdin, the fileinput module does all that for you. Just say:
for line in fileinput.input(): ...
And you'll get lines from all the files named in your command line arguments.
If your script does its own argument parsing, no problem, just pass the list of filenames from your argument parser to fileinput.input().
The module can report back filename and line number for logs and error messages. Check it out: https://docs.python.org/3/library/fileinput.html

Photos by Steven Klucik (SuperRide Media) and I appreciate he understands that motorsports photography can be about more than just the car. These capture an important part of the track experience too.

Pet peeve: when people complain that some software breaks the rules of semantic versioning while that software is older than semantic versioning

I don't think I've ever seen Mastodon lose its collective mind over anything more than these goose slides

For sure if you want recognizable nostalgia that's the right call. (I would also nominate the Windows 3.1 tada.)
But I had to check and I do remember right: https://youtu.be/QSLa-Y8grxA

Yeah, if I remember right each theme has its own startup sound (amongst others)

Obviously this is the maximum tryhard answer but it would be cool if you got all the Plus sounds and picked one at random
