A wild creature appears! Sometimes a deermouse, sometimes a raccoon. Seattle area. Therian. Mushroom whisperer.

📌 A bit about me:

A raccoon (sometimes deermouse) that lives in the PNW forest.

Your garbage and attic are safe from me, I want nothing to do with either.

I forage and grow mushrooms, hike, travel, and try to make the most of life!

Was therian before I was furry, and have been at it since 1998.

I’m gonna be at pawcon next month! HMU if you want to hang out. Haven’t been to the bay in a while and I’m not planning to attend FC so it might be a while before I’m in the area again.

I rarely commission art, but I also don’t use generative AI. I still complain about AI so the people who ARE using it will maybe be more likely to commission artists instead.

The existence of AI shouldn’t require me to consume more art than my baseline.

Also, I buy art in fursuit form.

I’m surprised it wasn’t last night! Got below freezing at my place.

Twig @twigmouse.bsky.social · 23h

Yes, I did this. Tidal walks your through it when you sign up

When I was a mouse, that stereotype drove me nuts! Mice are wonderful, powerful creatures!

Twig @twigmouse.bsky.social · 1d

That’s beautiful art! Unfortunately, I’m not currently looking to commission anything at the moment.

I’d hesitate to take venmo, PayPal, or similar. Zelle is as good as cash in my mind though.

It’s gonna be a risk no matter where. The website says “our hotel partners”, which implies some consistency across them all.

I hope it’s not as dire as the policy and wording implies. I’m gonna miss FC for the first time since 2013 because of these new hotel policies.

Twig @twigmouse.bsky.social · 1d

Like, at alternative hotels?

I always enjoy when the “skip” button in the bottom right of the screen for the intro/recap is one pixel away from causing the timeline to pop-up in its place, making me skip to the end of the episode so far into the credits that it automatically plays the next episode.

I certainly wouldn’t be surprised if “excessive guests” means “more people than the room can sleep”. It’s very subjective. In that sense it’s “murky”, but the hotel rules seem pretty hostile to parties in general for next year.

Twig @twigmouse.bsky.social · 1d

Not murky at all, according to the website.

Raccoons are as amorphous as mice. It’s one thing that helped with my transition from the latter to the former.

Fuck :-(

Twig @twigmouse.bsky.social · 5d

This is gross. I never thought I’d be missing the days when furry was uncool and obscure.

I got my bat (Fleder) a few years ago, made for me by @nicodemusrat.bsky.social.

I don’t give him the attention he deserves and I want to see him get more use! Taking offers on the suit. Just in time for Halloween ;-)

I’m 6’3” 210lbs but it could be worn by shorter folks easily.

Super comfy suit.

Oh, interesting. Last time I tried it considered my number a google voice number and wouldn’t let me link to another google voice number

Twig @twigmouse.bsky.social · 5d

I have google fi so I can’t use Google voice :-(

I’ve had this since I switched to iPhone, but it’s inconsistent. Sometimes it goes through fine, sometimes it does this. I’m guessing it depends on whether the recipient is on android or not

Twig @twigmouse.bsky.social · 5d

Ugh, Apple, why do you suck so bad at messaging?

I AM on WiFi. I don’t get cell reception at home. It still fails even if I turn off airplane mode (which I keep on because my battery dies otherwise)

Twig @twigmouse.bsky.social · 5d

Worst luck!

Twig @twigmouse.bsky.social · 5d

Ack! Sorry you’re down with it. I got my booster on Friday, thankfully
