I think I have to fine you for posting too cute art without a proper cw.

But I can leave it at a warning for now

I just had the very disturbing realization that I have no idea where my banner with all my pins is

I know our system isn't perfect but...

I was at the dentist today for a checkup and cleaning. For free.

Then they made a small correction to one of my fillings I've been having trouble with. For Free.

And my old mouth insert for nights was getting pretty close to breaking so they made a custom new one I can pick up next week. For free.

Not to mention I'm getting a blood check next week at another doctor.

For free of course.

@cato It's glued to the box though.

Although now that you mention it, I did get a box of epoxy yesterday.
It's intended for something else but I'm sure there will be something left over.
(I just gotta figure out how to use that stuff first ​:neofox_laugh_sweat:​)

Ich muss Mal ne Ausnahme machen weil der Post eh nur für den Deutschsprachigen Raum relevant ist:

An die Leute die es geschafft haben Ihre und/oder Diagnose zu bekommen. Könnt ihr ein paar Ressourcen und Tips teilen?

Mir wurde jetzt schon ein paar Mal gesagt das ich wohl einige Eigenschaften habe die darauf hindeuten aber ich hab ehrlich gesagt keine Ahnung wie ich da am besten rangehen soll um möglichst hohe Chancen auf eine korrekte Diagnose zu haben.
Ich wäre über etwas Rat also sehr dankbar ​:neofox_bottom:​

@Karb_Derg@derg.social avatar

sigh I really need a dedicated fountain pen to use with my "November Rain" Ink.

It's a beautiful green but it has this very weird composition that makes it basically impossible to get out of my pen again. I've been washing and cleaning it now for 24 hours and there is still a weird clue residue coming out of it.
I basically can't really use any brighter color with this one now cause it always taints the end results and makes them various shades of brown (except for my purple ink, that one still looks okay)

Karb_Derg,
@Karb_Derg@derg.social avatar

Sure.

I obviously didn't dip my f-pen in again
But I smudged some on a paper with the back of a pencil :3

Let's just say I saw the "Caution! Do not consume!" Label only after I've taken a sip.

OMG! I had the most amazing dream:

I can't quite remember the things around it but I was a big dragon flying from one end of a forest to another, past beautiful sceneries like a river or an abandoned railyard.
The forest spirits tried to lead me to the wrong path but I realized their tricks soon enough.
I could feel the wings on my back and the air on my scales.
That was awesome! ​:dragnaww:​

(To bad I woke back up to a day of human hood)

Karb_Derg,
@Karb_Derg@derg.social avatar

@cato

I'd probably would but I think there was a reason why I was in a hurry ​:dragnthink:​

Also when you already have momentum flying it's hard to slow down :D

Are you an or that wants to share your work online?

Is the process of posting to so many platforms annoying and bothersome for you?

Are you at this year?

Then have I got a panel recommendation for you:

Today at 18:30 in the Clarion Live 11 Room I will hold a panel about to make your sharing processes more streamlined.
I'd love seeing your there ​:dragnheart:​

So one thing I made very clear when I entered into a relationship was that no gifts were required on days like Valentine's. I don't need gifts to feel loved.

But of course @Polarie_Fox didn't really care about that and commissioned this beautiful artwork!

I guess I can make a exception this Year. Thanks my big fox 💜

I think I should start a photo series titled:

"Why I don't have a job in electronics".

Gentle reminder to anyone attending con dances, raves and other events with loud music:

Already over 24 Minutes of unprotected exposure to the loud music a week causes permanent hearing damage.

So please use earplugs: You can still hear the music loud enough, you can still feel the Bass and in my experience also understand people better should they talk with you.
And best of all: It's way better for the health of your ears ​:dragnheart:​

PS: And if you ever need some at a con because you forgot yours then try to find me: I always try to carry a few extra and am happy to share them with a fellow furry :3

Yeah, the main reason that pushed me away from using it more was the instability/unreliability.
So for family and non-techy friends, Signal was just the way better option.

I finally, finally managed to upload all my commissioned art onto FA.
Took me almost the entire day but whatever...

Now I, at least, have a link in case somebody ask me the art I got in the past.

@cato

I also have triple backups of them but those are all only for private access ^^‘

This is much easier for just showing them to someone.
(Although I still keep my Refs private, just in case ​:neofox_laugh_sweat:​)

Karb_Derg,
@Karb_Derg@derg.social avatar

@cato

I consider them more or less the easy "proof of ownership" of a design or character. And while I know they are occasionally out there I don't want to make it too easy to just find them ^^‘

Although maybe I should see if I can Watermark it back home and then upload it like that ​:neofox_think:​

I didn't believe there is a thing such as "too much public transit".

But I keep missing my connections cause I can't find the correct locations.

There are 35 platforms in the basement of a mall but apparently I needed Platform 47?! Where the hell is that now?! ​:neofox_dizzy:​

Karb_Derg,
@Karb_Derg@derg.social avatar

@cato

Technically it's very clever cause people don't have to wait in the cold and it keeps the Malls alive if literally almost every bus + the metro have a indoor station here but there are two different areas where the bus stations are and apparently I was at the wrong one.
