A not-so-fun version of the fake company that used to "advertise" on WEBN radio in Cincinnati: "Brute Force Cybernetics, the company that creates a need, and then fills it. 🐸"

Big, furry, sweaty bear (me) in the recliner wearing only a pair of blue shorts, taken from overhead.

Happy Tummy Tuesday! Sweaty bear 🐻.

A large light-brown chicken on a porch step, viewed through a sliding screen door.

Three small chickens, two dark gray and one white, huddle between a blackberry vine and a wooden fence.

A light-brown chicken on top of a decaying segment of picket fence on the ground.

Chickens, two gray and one white, huddle on our front porch.

We had to shoo the neighbors' chickens out of the backyard after my husband filled the holes under the fence. The smaller ones perched on the front porch before heading home.

Incidentally, the small town of Olean (pronounced "oh-lee-ann") in New York was none too happy about the choice of name.

There was speculation that Olean (olestra, sucrose polyester), because it's relatively indigestible, would serve to make a bottom self-lubricating after ingestion, but if I remember correctly, its other side effects made it unreliable for the purpose.

I used to wear a Speedo for regular swimming at the Y. But because my waist size is rather larger than Speedos are made, I save these for special occasions.

A bunch of bear bellies surrounding @poundcake206.bsky.social. Mine is the most brightly lit.

Had a great time at South Seattle Bear with @poundcake206.bsky.social and the whole crew!

Woof! Great to see (smell?) you.

I sub plain Greek yogurt for cream in my butter chicken recipe. I just add some extra water so it doesn't get too thick.

I think he looks like a friend of mine from Seattle (who lives in Portland now), and I prefer to redirect my thirst in his direction (even though we're both married to other people). @wasape.bsky.social

Village Theater Everett is at the corner of Wetmore and Everett Avenue in downtown Everett. The joke was that on my first visit to swim at the Everett Y that used to be around the corner, I took the street name as a sign I needed to get Wetmore.

It's pretty much been a case of sticking with what you're used to. Android just seems more intuitive and less complicated. I'd probably feel differently if I computed on a Mac as opposed to a combination of Windows and Linux. 2/2

I work for AT&T, so I get to try new phones every 2-3 years for official use in addition to my personal phone. I had an iPhone for work once, followed by three different Android phones; my personal phones have been Android all along. 1/2

Me on a barstool from overhead, sunlit from a window, in a gray tank top, grayscale striped suspenders, and black jeans.

Me on a barstool head-on, lit in red from overhead, in front of a Bear Flag, wearing only a multicolor plaid jockstrap, socks, and sneaks.

🐻 Bust / Furry Friday is a blast! It's loud and sweaty and smelly and I'm loving it.

By some definitions, if you see an erection it's hardcore. Which is, of course, ridiculous, but it's how these people think. (That's also how it occurred to me that Discernibly Turgid makes a great band name.)

My understanding is that softcore is simple nudity, foreplay, etc., and hardcore is anything involving actual penetration and beyond. Has to do with what films can be shown in legitimate venues and which are relegated to porn houses.

I have an idea of what you're referring to, as I worked for Kodak during that era. I used the built-in shutter timer on mine to pose for my first naughty selfie. 😈

POV shot in the recliner showing my furry chest, tummy, and bare feet. I'm wearing only a pair of blue shorts.

Happy Tuesday! 🐻🦶 #tummytuesday #toesday #feet #bearfeet

My size 13 black leather boots and black and yellow CB13 socks in place on my feet.

Boots off, showing off the socks.

Socks off atop the boots, with my bare feet on either side.

Getting the boots off after a leather event can be a process. 🐻 🦶 #boots #feet #bearfeet

The photographer's assistant, straight but not narrow, asked, "What's Steamworks?" The photographer answered, "It's like a spa." The assistant replied, "The way you say that, I *know* it's not a spa." 2/2

One time I was helping set up for a NOH8 photo shoot and we were offered the choice of an 80's playlist or a technology one. Someone said they preferred the 80's because the techno one sounded like a rave. I piped up, "Or Steamworks." 1/2

As my parents (both avid golfers) used to say, that's not a drive, it's a putt. ⛳️

I do so wish I could get a calf tattoo, but that's not happening for that exact reason. Too bad the dude's middle name doesn't start with a V, as then the condition you describe would match his initials.

Congress shall make no law... abridging the freedom of s***ch... nor of the people to peaceably ***emble, and to pe***ion the government for a redress of grievances.

I always liked the guy who wrote out the First Amendment after it had passed through some censorware. I call it "The Freedom of Pee":

🎶Tiramisu... like the deserts miss the rain... 🎶

And he just won the Home Run Derby. (Gary: We could have told you that.)

Lysistrata, anyone?
