#introductions

Hey there! I'm Somnius, a white tiger living in SF. I code websites, play indie & rhythm games, love all kinds of music, and turned vegan in the middle of this year.

Things I advocate for: furries, non-monogamy, sex positivity, gender identity, LGBT+ rights, democratic socialism.

All of you here inspire me so much with the amazing things you create. I have so much to learn!

Super excited to be heading to BLFC starting tomorrow evening! It'll be great to check out Reno again, and it'll be super nice to get some time to relax :D

Oh, to be clear, all prices I listed in the original post are in USD!

One thing to note here is that we're now using Fastmail! This is going to be another expense that we're undertaking, but I'm planning to separate the expenses for Merveilles-related things from my own finances. Having a separate email is one part of that, and more work on this will involve migrating our server and images to new accounts. This will take a while, but I'll keep you all updated on when and how that all happens. Thanks for being rad, everyone! :D

Hey y'all! I'm going to be checking over the finances a little later this week to let you all know how things are going. Cheers, and thanks for your patience :3

Made myself some avocado toast with olive oil and Old Bay! Was a very tasty brunch for this morning :3 #theGalley

Just included the CSS updates for 2.8.0 by @drisc onto the Town! Thanks for the lovely style work :3

Merveilles is also now using the Approvals mode for signups! No longer will we need to generate individual invite tokens to invite new people; new people can just apply to join at https://merveilles.town/about and admins can approve them right in the web interface! :D

Awright, upgrade to 2.8.0 successful! Thanks y'all :D

Looks like we've got some missing styles on the /about page, but we can get to those eventually. Thanks for your patience! :D

Okay! For real this time: I just backed up the local database and I'm getting ready to upgrade to 2.8.0! Hold on to your butts :3

Further updates: I've been delayed a bit on the upgrade, apologies! I'll make sure to announce when things are happening through here. Thanks for your patience!

Hey all! I'm looking into updating the server from 2.7.4 to 2.8.0 shortly—you may see some brief weirdness, but hopefully not for long! :3

Not gonna lie, I'm definitely enjoying growing out my hair! It's a lot of fluff but it feels good :3

Welcome, @mutualrespect and @toadheart! :D

Hey all! I'm planning on updating to 2.8.0 this weekend. Looks like it shouldn't be too big of a deal to upgrade, as well, and should make processing invites way easier!
