well, Google AI is kinda useful, in case you were transformed into a skunk

hello your highness!

ooopps, I had this a bit off before, fixed it:

I think Mamdani's best line in the election must have been this: "If you think my rent's too low, vote for Cuomo. If you think your rent's too high, vote for me."

OMG, I'm the same way. As long as it's a one-piece suit, I wanna know how it feels to wear it.

Simo Skunk @simoskunk.bsky.social · 8h

ooooh, cool! I feel like seals, sea-cows and such are very under-representd, actually

imagine furry themed scented candles: Skunk, fox, yeen! Probably not subtle though : )

even my first sexual ideations revolved around the idea of being fully enclosed in a kind of space suit or superhero suit, and how it would feel, vs. any kind of thing involving another person, male or female

also, I have noted people like this are almost always on the spectrum, maybe I am?

question for rubberfurs or fur-suiting furs into the feeling of wearing any kind of full body suit:

when did you start to really love this kind of thing? For me, it was ever since I can remember, footie PJs, one piece snowmobile suits, wet-suits

Simo Skunk @simoskunk.bsky.social · 12h

Interesting. What other species have you considered? Are there any you tend to identify with, or that hold any particular meaning or symbolism? I kinda see you as a Tasmanian Devil or Spotted Hyena, for some reason

this really gets at the essence of the fox

Thanks, Fiona. I'm alright, I just had to try to put in words why this feeling hits me like it does, I hadn't fully considered the ins and outs of living so much of life in a pseudonymous way

And by validation, I simply mean being seen and recognized in actual, meaningful social interactions.

Simo Skunk @simoskunk.bsky.social · 1d

This is what I feel is making me feel so acutely lonely: a very large and meaningful part of me is cut off & it creates an odd schism, a split of sorts, in which the Simo aspect of my overall personality is never fully integrated, and stands apart, a vestigial appendage, awaiting social validation.

Simo Skunk @simoskunk.bsky.social · 1d

The part of me that is Simo has come to be a bigger and bigger part of me, of who I am. But at the same time, this part has no direct means of expression, and almost no actual contact with anyone.

Simo Skunk @simoskunk.bsky.social · 1d

That's exactly what makes it so hard: not having anyone to hang out with. I think what’s happened is that over the 15 years I've been a furry, I've spent a lot of time and energy developing Simo, through Rps, talking to furs online, in stories, and in my imagination.

Simo Skunk @simoskunk.bsky.social · 1d

Yeah, it's been so hard up here. We have maybe one meet a year, the others are all a 3 or 4 hour drive each way. There's not really what I'd call any kind of furry community here.

Simo Skunk @simoskunk.bsky.social · 1d

there really seems to be this growing divide in the fandom between furs who can afford 5 or 6 cons a year, and those who struggle to afford even one, and it makes the social media landscape so much more fickle to navigate

I wish things were more equal, and more furs had a chance to participate

Simo Skunk @simoskunk.bsky.social · 2d

Definitely!

Saki had some amazing last words: "Put that damn cigarette out!", as a grenade was lobbed into the foxhole they were in

His works remind me a lot of W. Somerset Maugham, all in all

I love the Silver Jews & the instrumental side of Pavement, yet there is some lackluster quality about the vocals

but vocals are such an oddly subjective thing for me, it is hard to say why they can turn me off to music I might otherwise like: no doubt some complex web of unconscious associations

Simo Skunk @simoskunk.bsky.social · 2d

Name 2 Bands you tried to get into but can't due to not liking the vocals:

Mine:

-Oasis
-Pavement

it bothers me with Pavement, because I want to like them, but not with Oasis, whom no amount of vocal brilliance could salvage

Simo Skunk @simoskunk.bsky.social · 2d

I might settle for a refurbished 60s trailer, a stuffed animal and a used Nissan at this point

Simo Skunk @simoskunk.bsky.social · 2d

very nice! I'm a huge H H Munroe fan, Srendi Vashtar is truly one of the greatest short stories, ever.

Now I wanna read Chronicles of Clovis again!
