So my community college has a talent show every spring, and I want to compete in it this year. Me being myself, I'd do a colorguard routine (if you don't know what I do, see here), and the problem is, I have trouble choosing a song. Of my many songs, I've narrowed it down to four of them, and I'm leaving you, the furries of Phoenix, to choose which song I perform to! If you'd like as well, you may post a song in the comments for me to consider as well, but my main priority would be on these four songs. They are: River Flows in You by Yiruma Foundy by John Mackey Free Fallin cover by John Mayer Follow the Arrow by Rosi Golan

i'm currently in a bit of a busy kick with school, and unfortunately something that seems to go in line with that is if too many things go wrong i self destruct the past few days haven't been great and i've been having some very short moments of disocciation from exhaustion so today was very difficult, it was the thoughts i had when i was in a much worse place. i got almost nothing done for most of today and i was slipping into a state of incapacitation. it felt like i was just going to go back to that bad place where nothing would be done ever but i got up. i just turned on a song i liked and i got back to work. i feel capable of getting to the place i should be. and when i think about that sort of stuff i feel much much happier. there's a thread on suicide in here right now, and it brought me back to moments where i would spend nights consistently in mania, and was totally incapable of getting anywhere. i really thought i would have done it by the time i was 20. but i'm here. things aren't perfect yet and i'm sure there'll be bad times ahead, but i'm enjoying something right now. i feel like within all of it it's not hopeless. more importantly, i feel like i have a reason to live. there was a long time where i just...didn't. i wouldn't have seen any loss in going away, but now i feel something worth going for. this has been a long time building up, but this is the first day where it kept me afloat when i thought i'd sink. i can do this. i'm going to go finish this piece i need to write and more importantly be who i should be. thanks for listening.

My supervisors and I have been batting correspondence with the local children's hospitals with methods that 3D printers can be utilized in the field beyond making hobby gadgets and DIY dildos are prosthetics. For the most part, there are a few of the doctors talking about going abroad and making these for kids who lost their limbs due to being a casualty of war, disease, and other inhumane acts. Since we have 2 active printers available to the public, my coworkers and I have been tasked to creating a prototype using the Standard PLA until we can perhaps try again with ABS for a more solid version. The brilliance is that it is also available to the public who cannot afford a prosthetic. Since we charge about a dollar per meter of filament, the actual cost to print it here (as long as the files are resized accordingly) is about 15-30 dollars. The patron can also select different colors. Want a hot pink hand? What about glow-in-the-dark? Or a rainbow mess of colors? We can do it! What makes me very happy is that we get a lot of questions about this from the general public as well with children who need one, and I am excited to show them the end product.

in 2005, the forums were created to serve as a second home in case of FA going down for X amount of time. The forums itself has seen a lot of dramatic, fun, and just downright stupid periods before the "days of 1000 shitposts" and the eventual cataclysm. What are your most memorable moments on FAF? Was it the Thanksgiving banner incident? The Thanksgiving drama pt 2: Cubporn boogaloo? #Zoogate? Making friends? Night of a thousand shitposts? The game-based threads? The Black hole? Post it here!
