Someone can be “fairly respectful” or “civil” about their views on gender identity & sexuality, but if their message boils down to ideology like “I don’t believe this really exists”, “Be a man or a woman, ffs”, or “These people are all just mentally ill”, it doesn’t really matter how “respectful” they are being if their message / beliefs are harmful to marginalized groups.

I don’t necessarily encourage these kinds of hostile replies, but I can absolutely see where it comes from, and it is absolutely understandable.

If your beliefs can cause or encourages harm, hostility can enforce the message that it is not welcome in these places.

I would also love to know what kind of “left wing agenda” that the commenter is claiming to “cause so much harm” actually is.

As good as I feel Lemmy is, I find a lot of the meme & humor communities alarmingly depressing.

I’m not looking for 24/7 wholesome! But, man… I just want to see funny memes.

Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you!!! ❤️

I’m fascinated by people who are dedicated to model vehicles. Seems fun af!

Greenery is so wonderful and relaxing. I can barely keep myself alive, so I’m not sure any abundance of plants would do well in my care!

NOOOOOO!! /s

For real, though, I’ve never met such a person, but they sound like fun!

Posters, plushies, stickers, and figurines. That sounds nice! It’s so good to have your own clean space away from others. (:

Yoooooo I love entertainment stands/centers with storage and shelves and drawers and shit!!! Nice!!!

Made a wolf cowl in the past and was told the same thing!

Oh, it would keep you cozy, for sure!

It’s not “weatherproof”, per se, but the eyes won’t be damaged by the elements, the nose has been meticulously sealed, and the faux fur can be dried pretty quickly when hung up & stored properly. The only different thing that may have to be done is to comb/brush through it as it dries.

Thank you!

I actually had things like LARP & ren faires pop into my head when I was thinking about what kind of goober besides me would like this!

Thank you! It’s definitely a difficult balance to have creatures look good without looking too uncanny.

I’d probably be down with that! Send me a message if you’d like to discuss it further.

I made a more “realistic” version in my v1.0 iteration, but I really do prefer the bigger, more friendly eyes!

Thank you! It’s nice and reasonably warm without getting too hot!

I definitely would, if people are interested.

I currently only have base patterned for big cats and wolves/canines right now, though. But I’m sure I could mod the canine base to be a fox or something.

What kind of creature did you have in mind? (If not a black lion)

Oh, it’s nice and cozy!

It’s fully lined, so it’s meant to be used as kind of a hat/hood/scarf combo. I’m sure it could potentially be modified to attach to a piece of clothing, though!

Thank you so much!

I actually had this project hanging around since last year… but since it’s nearly Halloween, I figured this was the time to finish it.

This actually v2.0 of one that I had made last year, but I wasn’t super satisfied with it, so this is the “new and improved” version.

I actually wanted to keep it for myself to wear for fall/winter weather, but I’m pretty strapped for cash right now, so I’m gonna try to sell it. Maybe I’ll make a v3.0 for myself, one day!

15.77 GB. Whew. Thank you for the tip!
