Continuing my #Racctober #FursuitFriday celebration with @laprau.raccoons.buzz! Remember last year when I was wondering if he made honey in his own trash can? Well I think I got my answer this year

Old laptop (HP Pavilion) and printer (HP Envy), both from 2018.

New laptop (HP OmniBook 5) and printer (HP DeskJet 2855e), both from this week

Out with the old, in with the new. Decided to upgrade my home office area a little bit, now with a faster laptop and printer! 😁

A win! A federal judge has granted Chicago and the State of Illinois a restraining order against the Trump administration, blocking the deployment of the National Guard in Illinois.

Global renewable energy generation surpasses coal for first time Record solar expansion and steady wind growth driving world’s shift away from fossil fuels in 2025, report finds

Solar and wind are finally outpacing fossil fuels. This is a TURNING POINT for the planet and for all of us.

Screenshot of a tweet from journalist Kyle Cheney (@kyledcheney) on X. The tweet reads: ‘JUST IN: A federal judge has granted the New York Times’ demand for a list of Elon Musk’s security clearances.’ The tweet includes Kyle Cheney’s profile photo, a verified blue checkmark, and the X.com logo in the top right corner.

This is a great first step!

We just passed 3.9K followers. I wonder if we can hit 4K by year's end. ^^

Happy Birthday Sass!! 🎉🎂

I'm watching that documentary "Before Stonewall" about gay history pre-1969, and uncovered something which I think is interesting. The documentary includes a brief clip of a 1954 televised newscast about the rise of homosexuality. The host of the program interviewed psychologists, a police officer, and one "known homosexual". The "known homosexual" is 22 years old. He identifies himself as Curtis White, which is a pseudonym; his name is actually Dale Olson. So I tracked down the newscast. According to what I can find, Dale Olson may have been the first gay man to appear openly on television and defend his sexual orientation. He explains that there's nothing wrong with him mentally and he's never been arrested. When asked whether he'd take a cure if it existed, he says no. When asked whether his family knows he's gay, he says that they didn't up until tonight, but he guesses they're going to find out, and he'll probably be fired from his job as well. So of course the host is like ... why are you doing this interview then? and Dale Olson, cool as cucumber pie, says "I think that this way I can be a little useful to someone besides myself." 1954. 22 years old. Balls of pure titanium. Despite the pseudonym, Dale's boss did indeed recognize him from the TV program, and he was promptly fired the next day. He wrote into ONE magazine six months later to reassure readers that he had gotten a new job at a higher salary. Curious about what became of him, I looked into his life a little further. It turns out that he ultimately became a very successful publicity agent. He promoted the Rocky movies and Superman. Not only that, but get this: Dale represented Rock Hudson, and he was the person who convinced him to disclose that he had AIDS! He wrote the statement Rock read. And as we know, Rock Hudson's disclosure had a very significant effect on the national conversation about AIDS in the U.S.

Some amazing gay history. Listen up kids.

In a first, renewables generate more power than coal globally Solar and wind power aren’t just keeping up with global electricity demand anymore – they’re pulling ahead. According to a new analysis from energy think tank Ember, solar and wind combined outpaced global electricity demand growth in the first half of 2025. That shift led to a drop in both coal and gas generation compared to the same period last year. For the first time ever, renewables generated more power than coal globally. more…

Tis the season for jumpscares, but damn is this funny! 😂😂😂

Thank you again for everyone trying to donate a kidney for me.
I don't have any new updates or anything--they're still working through the list and yeah we are really beginning to run out of time. If you're on the fence but would like to try, get started at iggyland.org
Thank you everyone!

Happy Birthday, Meisarrg!! 🎉🎂

*boops back*

RP isn’t really my thing, sorry

I recognize him as the Raccoon from Brother Bear 2, but I personally haven't seen that movie (nor most of the other non-canon Disney sequels)

I like them both, but if I absolutely had to choose, I’d say Razor because I’m more like him personality-wise

Post a banger that’s not in English.

The Second season opener to Beastars, “Monster” by YOASOBI definitely fits that definition, wouldn’t you agree? youtu.be/dy90tA3TT1c?...

An adorable raccoon.

Congrats Kijani! That sounds like a really cool job too!
