Just because you don't have a rich family in Jersey doesn't mean it's okay to do the same shit to me.

We talked sex-positively like most any other furry friends. He didn't mind calling me Mommy when he was asking for money. Or taking commissions he never followed through on. Then the money stopped, and here we are.

Judah, a group of people hurt you last winter but it wasn't us. And I didn't know about it at the time, you're not to blame for that. I hope you make it out of the winter and remember the fall, some day. You don't deserve any more pain

The last thing you said to us, as you got into the $150 Lyft we paid for, was "Don't worry, none of this is going on the internet".

Btw you "said your peace" and then continued in the same post. Btw I didn't sabotage another artist. Btw, I'm an artist that you called on every furry convention to stop booking because of lies you continue to tell.

The reason my guitar is so recognizable is because it's the only electric I've bought in 6 years, when I was 27. Before that, my only guitar was the one I got at 17. Cause I grew up poor and learned to appreciate the things I have, instead of being jealous of what others have. That includes love.

I said I'm addressing the lies. I came from nothing. I grew up in rural Pennsylvania, my dad worked retail and my mom was a second grade teacher. They got divorced when I was 15, they both found new partners and went to live with them so I got the house to myself, at least. What a privilege.

But I'd rather not talk about it.

And this week I got slandered all over the internet and became a single-income household with a 6.2k monthly payment because while you may call it "owning a house" I just call it "being in 600k of debt to the bank"

Then a year ago, I got laid off and decided to launch that solo project and start a music career, joined a 5-piece band, teach private lessons to kids, worked part time at the bar, ran another furry party, and have been clocking like 60 hours a weeks.

Then some people tried to ruin me and my partner's life in 2024, then that guy got elected again and everyone started leaning into how we need to settle our differences and support each other, which would have been nice a couple months prior.

Modes, I guess! @scales.bsky.social · 6h

Started a band, ran it for 8 years, a pandemic, like 13 different members, then a solo project, all while running furry meets and a convention with my partner, staffing a con, and climbing the IT ladder, living with a bunch of roommates to save up.

Decided not to go to grad school after my professor told me "My parents were dentists, so it was worth it for me" and use that IT experience. Figured as long as Bernie won, I could save enough money to pursue music in like a decade. I got my first job, laid off a year later, moved to Boston

Really wanted to go to Berklee, but I went to a pretty great state school for music composition and theory. Loans didn't cover expenses tho, so I got a job working IT for 25 hours a week on top of full time classes. Figured having some experience in tech might come handy.

Modes, I guess! @scales.bsky.social · 6h

But that was actually really lucky for me, because I wasn't going to be able to go to college because my dad made too much money on paper for me to get FAFSA loans. So when that went to 0, I was able to get tuition all covered by those loans I'm still paying off.

I started working at 17 at KFC for $6.75/hr, but it was mostly for the free food. Luckily Bank of America let me open my own account at that age, since Dad kept taking my paycheck to "pay the bills", and that was before he lost his job. It was 2008, btw.

Been thinking of the right way to say this. I’m a very small voice and I’ve been trying to avoid activism but I have passion for my local community and the people who constantly uplift it, and I won’t stand to see Remy and Scales being bullied again. People are talking like they “stole” their

It's pretty telling that I, Scales, got a promotion at the bar that I, Scales, have worked at for the past year. The same place where I, Scales, got asked to continue running the furry party at the venue. And people had a problem with me, Scales, for about 4 posts And now it's about Remy and Scales

Modes, I guess! @scales.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

We've come full circle into "All people see if you defending yourself and that's on you" instead of "Maybe people SHOULD stop attacking you, so people see you on the defensive less often". This isn't on me. Period. This isn't a debate, it's my life and livelihood.

Modes, I guess! @scales.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

That's exactly what I'm saying, though. My life exists outside the lens of ANE. Me saying "Hey I run this bar now" had literally nothing to do with anything regarding that convention. We are only talking about it because of this paranoia-turned-projection that I would act like this, when I never did

This is where I'm going to end. Community work and cancel culture Don't mix and I encourage everybody to look at the people attacking and trying to. I encourage you to reflect and ask yourself why you spend your time tearing down community leaders instead of finding ways that you can lead yourself.

Hey I work at the bar that scales in Remy run. In fact, I've seen them put their own money, countless hours of underpaid work, and extreme emotional labor through previous abusive management to keep this bar alive and running as a community space. And I don't agree with anything that you're saying.

What exactly did you survive, Sutter? Backstory: I've known Sutter since I was 19. We tried to hook up in 2019 and I admittedly got cold feet. How does that warrant any of this??????

Modes, I guess! @scales.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

I'm sorry, that was sarcastic, not my best moment. What I mean to say is, that's what I've been building for the last year. I've been posting about it for the past year. And I have a giant community surrounding me that isn't on BlueSky. I'd like to share it, but being lied about makes it tough.

Modes, I guess! @scales.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

Yeah I wonder if there's anyone in the community that can provide a real-life 3rd space for all sorts of queer communities and individuals, from furries to drag queens to pups to ABDL to sapphic folks, so that we can provide checks on eachother through outside lenses and all grow together.

I don't know any clinicial information about Therianthropy because I am not a clinician, and it is not something I ever think about. Therians exist, so therianthropy is a real thing. That's all I know. My opinion on it? That's cool, I identify with stuff too, through many lenses. Do it up.

Modes, I guess! @scales.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

This never happened. I don't go to my friends and ask them to defend my viewpoints on my behalf, I say them with my full goddamn chest. Steve's viewpoint is contingent on believing Hearth's viewpoint that this happened, without any proof. Just weighing in on Hearth's behalf.

Modes, I guess! @scales.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

And it's not my job to spiritually heal them. Community is supposed to take care of each other, and it takes a community to tell them to stop eating the brainworms. But that takes courage, because deep down, no one wants to be the next target. Which is why we got sold out in the first place.

Modes, I guess! @scales.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

If anything, I'm on the side of this shit ending. I'm addressing the lies. Nothing about cancelling or excommunicating any of these people. I don't want the community divided. I don't care for these people, but I don't believe they are any of the things they have been calling me.

Modes, I guess! @scales.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

There's definitely a German word for the feeling of being so right in how wrong everything would go. I said, as they were firing us, this would damage us AND them for years. That even if we moved on, Hearth & Co will always remind them of what they did, and how cruel it was.

110

Modes, I guess! @scales.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

I'm all for you talking to whoever and getting their side, but pay attention to who doesn't want to hear my side. Who doesn't want you talking to me, who doesn't disclose any details, and who only focuses on "Who" harmed them, and not how or why.

Modes, I guess! @scales.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

And again, projection. Power Tripping. You're calling for people to email my job to get me fired, because you power tripped in 2024 and did the same exact thing, and it worked out for you. I don't "Find myself" in positions of power, I EARN them. I came from nothing and I EARNED everything I have.

Modes, I guess! @scales.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

So yes, I believe I had every right to book my own band. But guess what? I didn't. I still had an open-committee, where anyone on staff could join and cast a ranked-choice vote for the bands that would play. I would provide the proof that we won, but I lost access to everything. Because of you.

180

Modes, I guess! @scales.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

As for booking my own band at the convention that I was volunteering for. Well, I built out a booking inquiry form, coordinated timelines and gearshares, provided all venue information and backline equipment that I could, physically set everything up for that concert.

Modes, I guess! @scales.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

"I don't want them excommunicated". I've been pretty cordial so far, but yeah this warrants a big old capslock FUCK YOU. Anyone still questioning if one side is lying or not should be taking notes.

The fact that you have to be so guarded is the kind of collective trauma I'm talking about. Merely treating me like a person who has been lied about just might have you ousted from the furry music circles that outsted me. Wouldn't wish it on anyone.

Modes, I guess! @scales.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

Cause I'm revealing my hand now, you're focusing on things from YEARS ago, so here it is. I haven't suddenly evolved on these topics. I've been here way before y'all weaponized your misconceptions against me. I just didn't feel comfortable engaging in ABDL spaces that hated me because of these lies.

010

Modes, I guess! @scales.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

But somehow, in someway, everyone that dislikes how this group operates is connected to us community kingpins, and they echo-chamber this vileness about us without the rest of the community keeping them in check. So I'm leading by example, keep these damn lies in check. Please.

120

Modes, I guess! @scales.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

But there's a group of people, the one's who keep posting about this, that have used these identities as a cover for why it's justified to smear us into the dirt. We lost our place of respect and power in 2024, remember? We have not had any say in why the community is or isn't engaging with people.

120

Modes, I guess! @scales.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

The last comment is why I'm engaging in this. It's why it feels so invalidating when people say "Social media is trash and doesn't matter!", because it DOES matter when your character is being assassinated over provable lies. I have never had a problem with ABDL, therians, or plurality.

But I've tried the method of never saying anything back, letting you having your episodes and cancel me left and right on the internet over it, and it's clearly not helping. I'm trying something new and addressing this shit, and trying to treat you like a person who's struggling rather than an op.
