AI really ate all the details too, which hue/saturation/lightness wouldn't do.

Didn't post the whole thing because if they want it they can download their own copy of gimp.

This is what my dad believes.

Was short on time and didn't think of a way to get screenshots transferred to a device I own, so I just hastily took some photos.

Out there celebrating the death of a family because he only wants successful Western-European whites to immigrate here.
A screenshot showing one of my dad's yahoo news comments on an article about Greg Abbott turning the Rio Grande into a "war zone." His reply says "Biden's wetbacks have made it a war zone." He has added spaces between the letters of "wetbacks" so he isn't blocked from leaving the comment. A comment on a Yahoo News article about an immigrant at the US-Mexico border wearing a Biden-Harris shirt and claiming not to know who they are. The reply says "Great Replacement in action. Look it up." A reply to a Yahoo News article about an increasing portion of US adults identifying as LGBTQ. The reply says "Just think: We used to have words like 'pervert.' Not anymore." A reply to a Yahoo News article about an Indian family freezing to death while crossing the Canada-US border. The comment reads: "Good. We won't have to deport them."

I don't see the problem; I took this picture while I was living with some friends in Sturgeon Bay.

I went to an Asian grocery store to walk around and clear my head... While I was wandering, I grabbed a cup of this to see what it's like.

Very good, actually. Now I want to try the real thing! (This one is made in California.)

To put a little context behind why I disappeared for so long, these are a couple emails that my insane sister sent my dad.

The same sister believes in Qanon, is an antivaxxer, believes aliens built the pyramids, believes devil's tower is the trunk of an ancient tree, believes in chemtrails...
Hi Dad, I have heard what is going on with [my name]. I am very sad. I have seen some of [my name]'s online presence. Much of it is very inappropriate. What seems to upset me most though, is that [my name] is living a lie. His online persona is very liberal. He wants Trump in prison. He sympathizes more with Jimmy Kimmel than Charlie Kirk. (I used to think Charlie Kirk reminded me of [my name]. Not anymore.) I do not know my brother. My brother is more comfortable hiding behind a mask and living in a virtual reality than he is with his own family. My brother has found a safe haven in a costume with a bunch of Liberals. My brother believes "Therians" are real. My brother believes men should be participating in women's sports. My brother doesn't know what fascism is. I thought he was very smart for a long time. Now I do not. I am just trying to understand how [my name] (and [younger sister]) can hold Liberal values when I feel that everything is pulling me back to God. I used to watch Charlie Kirk and agree with what he argued, but I never realized how often he spoke about God and his faith until after he died. I felt a great sadness when he was killed. I still feel it. Liberals celebrated his death. Publicly. I think God is separating the wheat from the weeds. I am having a hard time believing someone can be liberal and a good person at the same time. We have also witnessed the Murder of a white woman on a subway recently. Nobody stands up to help her. She just falls over and DIES. Liberal judges released her murderer. Fourteen times. It's like they want us living in Gotham. How can anyone Choose the LEFT????? I can't make sense of it. I hope you are doing OK all things considered. It has been a hard week (maybe two) with all of the goings on. Love, [older sister] Dad, I don't know how to break it to you, because feeling betrayed by [my name] is enough. Many of the things [my name] was posting and consuming online were vulgar. Of sexual nature. one quote: "Please tag your porn; I wanna reskeet it and show everyone how hot your art is but refuse to flashbang people who are either not interested or are checking social media in public" He chose the left because he fits into their perverted lifestyle. I am not trying to "hang" him. I feel that you need to be aware that it is more than just a suit. The suit I almost understand because he has aspergers. He never liked to look anyone in the eye. He is acting foolishly. He is on a public forum. I am sorry I sent you this, but you need to know who is under your roof.

I should do something like this again, but with a decent camera in a nicer looking room.

So I'm told I've been doing this all wrong and what I should really be posting on bluesky is fursuit videos humping balloons.

I'll try to do better. #Squeakysaturday, I guess? 🎈

He's been through a change or two over the years.

Still got a wolf form and all, but the Arcanine form *is* the most recent development x3

Now that I've properly paid for all the art I've gotten from them, figured I might as well share!

Слава Україні!

A wolf fursuiter holding a bottle of vodka that says UKRAINIAN FREEDOM in large letters over the colors of the Ukrainian flag. A closer image of the vodka bottle, more clearly showing the text of the label. There is an image of a Ukrainian soldier firing a FGM-148 Javelin man-portable anti-tank system with some Cyrillic text underneath. Below the image, there is English-language that says "JAVELIN UKRAINIAN FREEDOM Glory to Heroes! Glory to Ukraine! PRODUCT OF UKRAINE VODKA" The image resolution makes it hard to make out any of the remaining smaller text. Behind the bottle of vodka is a table with various other beverages, including a 2 liter bottle of 7 up, a bottle of Bacardi, a small green bottle of lime juice, and several plastic cups similar to those produced by Solo.

The most common meme-ified version has gotten really crunchy from compression artifacts.
A version of Rick Griffin's art posted above, but with "that gay shit" written on the paws and "me" written on the anthropomorphic wolf. The artifacts from lossy compression are so prevalent that it's impacting the readability of Rick Griffin's signature.

"What was your biggest impact on the internet?"

Probably when @ed.dog got me this piece from @rickgriffin.bsky.social back in 2017... even if most people posting modified versions don't realize that's me.
