This very thing tore up my housemate's raid group in GW2. One of the members drew a picture on top of AI and wanted to use it for their server, then got offended when they were called out on it. If you're gonna photobash, just use a 3d model or a screenshot, why use AI???

exactly! They were formed BECAUSE of censorship on livejournal and fanfictionnet, so they're definitely veterans in defending freedom in creativity!

They still raise a CONSIDERABLE amount of money with every fiscal year, and a LOT of their costs go towards a legal team, which, honestly, FA could use. It's hard navigating the world of censorship without legal representation, and AO3 has insight on that front.

They are VERY thorough- by the time my case got to the ALJ, they'd done enough of the paperwork and kept in touch with my doctors, that the ALJ didn't even do my hearing; she just looked at what they presented and went "That's more than good enough for me. Fully favorable."

In regard to FurAffinity being at risk due to censorship: Furries are now political targets. We are getting namedropped at high levels of government. They know that we are a large, influential, largely queer, community. Fighting for the spaces owned by our community is incredibly important

Y'all should REALLY reach out to the finance team of AO3. They've been doing this for a LONG time, and I feel like between their experience and the generous nature of the furry fandom, some good things would come out of it to help the stability of the site's future.

ngl, the only thing I miss about twitter is my Rrom friends that refuse to leave the site. Tumblr cares too much about blood quantum, reddit is full of assholes. I wish my Rrom friends on twitter would move to bsky or masto bc I miss the salt. I miss having Rrom friends that are diddkai like me.

Evans Disability is the lawyers I used for SSDI. It took five years because I was getting ssdi for ehlers danlos and migraines, and I was under 40, but they got me my disability. Definitely recommend them. (My case was one that another lawyer refused to take bc he didn't think we'd win)

Adding mine! Edriss wants adventurers to help him do some stabbing :3
<You hear a whisper from the corner.>

Pssssst, Adventurer.

<The Sethrak doesn't leave the shadows, beckoning for you to come closer.>

Name's Edriss. I do the sneaking and the spying, and you can help. A frontal attack is fine, but we need to strike where it hurts. The best way to fell a large opponent is to aim for the vital organs. 

My reconnaissance has identified some key agents that are essential for logistics, communication, even their health. If we can take them out like a stab to the kidney, we can debilitate the beast from within. 

<Edriss hands you a cloak. It's wispy, and it feels like a spiderweb as it brushes over your fingers, leaving a cold sensation on your skin.> 

Take my cloak. It will allow you to slip amongst them unseen, so you can slip in, kill them, and slip out. 

[If the player is currently in the Necrolord Faction]

<Edriss winks at you slyly.>

Do give The Slaughter Daughter my regards, Necrolord. 

[end Necrolord section]

Objectives:

- Use Edriss' Cloak (optional)
- Quartermaster Rukh slain
- Shadowmender Clara slain
- Spymaster Vaelin slain

Rewards:

1000 Children of Sethraliss reputation

Fixed. Had to update, restart, then hook the pencil directly to the iPad with a USB-C cable. IPad re-paired with it. Hopefully this will also fix the random disconnects it was having.

Sewing lines of division between you and your trans brothers and sisters for respectability points is how we get things like gays for trump btw. You should not care how strangers identify.

If being disabled is something to be pitied, that's a failing of society, not the disabled.

Ben the Bones Kinner @bengesko.bsky.social · 01/10/2026
So don't you dare pity me. I worked for my due, disabling myself in the process. I am finally living with my disabilities, not working around them, or trying to race them to the finish line.

Ben the Bones Kinner @bengesko.bsky.social · 01/10/2026
I'm finally crawling out of a five year long depression. I'm finally able to get therapy and be kind to myself after working myself into a breakdown. My creativity is coming back and at a pace I set for myself, to learn to work with my disabilities, not in spite of them.

I did seven years of work and training in the medical field - I was a certified medical assistant, then a medical lab assistant, then a veterinary lab tech. Then a dispatcher for AMR. I have been working to survive since I was 8. I am 41 now, disabled, and I am only NOW starting to live.

Ben the Bones Kinner @bengesko.bsky.social · 01/10/2026
I have been working since I was 8 years old - I raised my siblings while my parents worked. My only present on my 15th birthday was a signed work permit and a stack of job applications. I was working three jobs at age 17 when I ran away from home. I did military time to avoid homelessness.

I'd love to have one conversation where I am not asked "What do you do?" and get that Look of Pity when the answer is "I'm disabled." Don't you dare pity me.

being trans is so much more than some pronouns and whether or not you take hormones or undergo surgery if someone identifies as trans, then that's it. so what if they don't socially transition, or change their name literally you cannot decide what someone else gender is it's 2026 for fuck's sake

Sadly mine are the result of genetics and a stroke I had in 2016, but living in a legal state helps a LOT. A combo of Ajovy, propranolol, elavil, and thc makes them manageable. I hope the Vydura ends up being the med that works for you <3

Anyway
Ben, 64, Northampton, MA, 2014
I identify as an FTM, non-hormone, non-op, transsexual heterosexual man. That's the whole string of it. I was in the lesbian community when I was younger, but I never
really fit. That was the 1970s and there really wasn't the language then about transmen or FTMs or any of that. I didn't have that accessible to me as an identity. I thought, "I'm the only one on the planet like me," but then in 1985, Lou Sullivan sent his little booklet through the mail to the archives I was working on. It was
"Information for the Female-to-male Crossdresser and
Transsexual," a little booklet that he self-published with a little handwritten note that said, "Maybe some people in your archive would want to read this." Even though
he didn't know me, he didn't know who he was sending this to, I read it. I read it and within two hours I called him and I said, "I gotta meet you, because now there's two of us, you know, on the planet." And I flew to San
Francisco to meet him.When I got there, I dressed up super masculine. I even
wore temporary facial hair, because I wanted to
demonstrate to him that I was a man. So, he opens the door and he is this little frail ninety-eight pound gay guy with a t-shirt on and I thought, "Well, he's a man and he's kinda like me, but he's kinda not like me." We ended up talking for five hours straight in his kitchen. In the middle of it, he told me he had to get up and take his AZT. I hadn't known that he had HIV/AIDS, but I realized
then that I was making the closest friend of my entire
lite, the most pivotal individual for me, and that I was losing him at the same time. We corresponded until he
died and when he died, I started the East Coast FTM
Group because I had nobody and he had asked me to
head up his group in San Francisco, which I couldn't do.I always felt some resistance to the fact that I didn't
transition medically, but over time I started to find
transsexuals who had not transitioned medically, or who
had transitioned partially and then stopped, like my
friend Leslie Feinberg. Eventually I found more people with the idea that, "I'm already me, I don't need any medical intervention to become me." It took a ten-year
journey with a gender counselor to give myself permission around this, because it is not popular, even
in our community.

As a fellow migraine sufferer, I feel this. I hope it helps! Took me years to find a cocktail that 'works' (reduces the migraines to 1-2 a week down from every day)

FA is one of the only places I wholeheartedly enjoy putting my works on, especially for its “old-school” vibe and it still being strictly anti-AI. It’s a cornerstone of the furry community, and where most of my clients are from. Please, help out if you can. I’m going to.

Writers, if you are against AI, do not put your writing into ANY tool that is itself AI. Not to check grammar, not to "prove" you wrote it yourself. Everything you give them becomes part of their data, even if it's only to "improve their service" or whatever BS they tell you.

Hey. Did you know you can dislike a thing without trashing it or its creator? At the very least, have some supportive evidence. Simply saying 'this is garbage and the writer is garbage for not writing my blorbo the way I see him' makes me think you're a miserable wretch.

I literally don’t know a single woman who hasn’t been raped, stalked, groped, harassed, or sexually violated in some way at some point in their life. If you choose to doubt and dox survivors, just know every woman in your life is disgusted by you.
