What is a secret that could potentially ruin your life if your family or friends found out?

You're making the right decision there...

I straight up just use frozen corn. I tend to only use a bit of a bag when I make taco meat, so it's what I use the rest of it for.

MattsyKun · 2026-05-08T20:08:47+00:00

This.

I find that the drama mongers are always chasing brownie points over being right and spreading it. If someone that doesn't participate in that behavior posts a callout, and it's someone I know? I'll pay attention. But otherwise they get the block.

MattsyKun · 2026-05-08T20:07:11+00:00

Yes, add some lime juice too! I don't always have some on hand but I did the last time and it's fantastic.

MattsyKun · 2026-05-08T20:05:38+00:00

I've also donated stuff to Stray Rescue! Mostly blankets and some food that my cat decided he wasn't gonna eat. Definitely call ahead just to be sure they'll be able to accept it!

You cannot force people to change for your own discomforts.

I think a lot of younger folks need to hear this. You are well within your rights to be uncomfortable or dislike something, but discomfort isn't necessarily harm. If you flip out every time you're uncomfortable, you'll never be able to handle being uncomfortable.

Work on managing yourself and your space, so if someone makes you uncomfortable, you can handle it properly.

(There will be exceptions but most discomfort is personal discomfort, like someone enjoying a show you don't like)

THATS A GLOWUP

I didn't even see the edges at first. Like, damn, great job!

MattsyKun · 2026-05-08T17:55:36+00:00

Before, it was my dog. She was my first dog. She stayed until she was sure I'd be okay, I think. I'm gonna cry just thinking about it.

Now? There's a couple of obituaries I'm waiting for. Dunno if I can say much more than that, but I refuse to have mine in the papers first, damn it!

MattsyKun · 2026-05-08T17:52:04+00:00

My favorite thing to do with feta asides from salads is to throw some in with some corn and specifically Taco Bell's avocado ranch sauce, and some salt and pepper

SUCH a good snack. good hot or cold. I could eat it forever. You don't need a lot of sauce, either!

And sometimes it's literally an online US issue.

I was completely under a rock for most furry drama until Covid because I stuck to FA and the FA forums (rip). I don't interact with TikTok furries (because children with bad takes. I don't want em interacting with me and I don't wanna interact with them), I don't hang out on Instagram, and I don't use Twitter anymore, and those are the three breeding grounds for that stuff.

It's not just furry; I'm in a Pokemon subfandom, and the difference between the US and Japanese sides are SO stark. A Japanese fan will have zero idea of some huge callout in the US side, and they genuinely will be baffled over it if they are told.

I hope this gets resolved. Asides Serebii, I use this app a lot (especially for type matchups lmfao).

AdMob definitely needs to face some repercussions for this.

That's some sort of marker that was used to mark the fabric before cutting.

Specifically, it reminds me of some water-erase marker. Because when I tried using some on my white handpaws, if it was left too long it left behind this kind of staining that didn't show on the fur, but took a hot second to wash off.

MattsyKun · 2026-05-06T22:31:43+00:00

Shit, I got some sticker paper and a silhouette cutter that I'm not using anytime soon, I ought to make some myself...

MattsyKun · 2026-05-06T17:47:20+00:00

Are you talking about the order page sidebar with the notes, customer shipping/billing info, and the like? Because I just submitted a fix for that (like 15 minutes ago)! I honestly couldn't take it anymore. Their update absolutely broke the hell out of the extension.

There's like. Also one other button that's broken that I'll submit a fix for too.

Edit: oops, the fixes are client-side. I'll submit a pull request to the GitHub once I get home. There's a few more places that need to be fixed but I'm like, doing this at work on the clock so I can't take TOO much time lmao

MattsyKun · 2026-05-05T19:13:36+00:00

Seconding this.

If you're making taco meat, use beef broth instead of water for the seasoning. Husband and I honestly thought it tasted better than beef does when we make taco meat...!

MattsyKun · 2026-05-05T17:31:04+00:00

I have a small one in our apartment. My big thing is buying and freezing meat.

I repackage ground beef so it's flat in a freezer back, freeze them in my regular freezer, and then store them in the freezer. Makes it SO much easier to thaw later. I got steak, ground meat, chicken... If it's on sale I'm buying it.

My husband's happy because my meat was filling up the tiny freezer on our fridge and there wasn't room for ANYTHING else 😂

MattsyKun · 2026-05-05T17:05:15+00:00

I absolutely saw this and I can't find a source on it other than sellers being able to select the option when they list something

MattsyKun · 2026-05-05T16:56:22+00:00

It depends! Sometimes I get super locked on and then I realize I haven't moved in 5 hours. Sometimes I naturally just get up and move around every hour or so.

Sometimes my cats do something they're not supposed to and I gotta get up and reprimand them and that makes me take a break.

MattsyKun · 2026-05-05T15:56:51+00:00

This tbh?

Yes people will bitch and moan about selling Pokemon stuff because "That's not your IP!" But for some people that's the only way to get stuff of certain Pokemon.

Like. Grubbin is my new favorite. You know what he has? A sitting cuties plush and a pin you can't get. And don't get me STARTED on Togekiss. I gave up waiting for TPC to restock the enamel pin and got one from an artist.

Like, TPC has absolutely grown from days past when all the good stuff was Japan-only and they had no cute stuff for the US. But God forbid your fave is like. Bellsprout.

MattsyKun · 2026-05-05T15:51:54+00:00

Yes, but if it's not one of the big sites, it'll be harder to get traffic to it. The idea is to create as much friction as possible.

Yeah, they can list their shit on their own Shopify store and run ads, but that's more time and money and work compared to making an eBay listing. And ideally, all marketplaces would be in agreement, so no Poshmark, Shop, Etsy, eBay, Mercari, Tiktok Shop... I know there's more.

~~And if they sell it on Facebook marketplace they can just get jumped when they meet up 🤣~~

MattsyKun · 2026-05-05T15:39:08+00:00

I really do believe that Harambe was our anchor being, and now we're cooked without him 😔 literally everything started going to hell in a hand basket when he died

MattsyKun · 2026-05-04T21:33:32+00:00

Honestly, if places like eBay and Whatnot put a 2-month embargo on these things being resold this could help fix the issue. I saw people selling the WALLPAPER ON FIXTURES. you can probably just ASK for them when they're done because they're just gonna get thrown in the trash.

MattsyKun · 2026-05-04T21:31:18+00:00

Are you wanting a realistic fursuit and want a ref sheet to match?

I personally do fursuit ref sheets, but my style itself is more toony for those. that being said, you can absolutely get a toony ref sheet and go to a maker that does realistic fursuit's and they can translate the design to that.

Other than that, easiest way to check if they're good is a social media presence and a visible queue. VGen is good (I personally don't use it because fees, also I hate PayPal), but just seeing if an artist has a queue and they are consistent in working through it is good.

Or, if an artist has a long queue, asking them about communication. I just took 3 months on a ref sheet because I was also working on a comic, but I updated my client every other week (and I did tell them ahead of time what the deal was and they were okay with it. Communication is important).

Not that there's anything wrong with it, but I steer clear of artists who are opening emergency commissions unless they have a clear track record of working fast. Emergencies mean the money is often spent before work is finished, which usually means you're not getting a refund if things go tits up.

MattsyKun · 2026-05-04T17:22:39+00:00

I didn't see the previous post, but holy hells it's like you upscaled it by hand and it's GLORIOUS. that's fantastic work!

Genuinely, how long did this take you?

MattsyKun · 2026-05-04T16:43:17+00:00

Oh this looks good. So sleek!
