"Words of advice for young furries" ? Let's see... 1- You don't need to buy a fursuit to participate in this fandom. Seriously, you don't need a 13K debt at age 19. 2- Bad actors will try to convince you that the fandom "has strayed from a purer era". It's bullshit. Disregard them immediately.

I saw a gryphon statue in Vienna that was so epic, I had to draw it with my own characters!
Left side shows a marble statue at Schloss Belvedere of a man wrestling a gryphon, holding its beak open. Right side shows an anthromorphic wolf and a gryphon in the same pose. The wolf says "Spit out the coin you idiot bird!"

This news is important because all the fucks out there actively attempting to wreck the world want you to think that the work is hopeless and just mitigating the worst case scenario. It's not. Fucking keep going.

One aspect I've noticed about the economy is how willing people are to buy second-hand things online. I've tried selling things on eBay and Vinted, and even though the prices are low, I'm not getting any buyers. A £1 t-shirt was easy to sell three years ago.

DoorDash spent $1.4M trying to stop Zohran Mamdani from becoming mayor. This week's historic $131.5M enforcement action against DoorDash for underpaying NYC delivery workers shows why. Yet another reminder that the only thing that can beat organized money is organized people.

Fun Fact: In 2014, Tuberville started a charity for veterans. But it turns out it was basically just a scam. The vast majority of donations went to hosting golf tournaments so Tuberville could network for personal gain. He also ran 3 Ponzi schemes. But sure, Furries are the real danger. Right.

A trans man in the UK has been banned in the workplace restrooms after he was forced to use the women's restrooms to comply with the new EHRC guidance. The women complained because he is visibly male and so they told him he can't use any bathroom.
A screenshot of a Reddit post from the r/LegalAdviceUK subreddit by user Dijstraanon, titled "FtM transgender facing two different issues at work? England."
The post text reads:
"Brother in law is trans FtM and presents fully as a man. He's now facing an impossible situation at work with his employer telling him that due to recent legislation he must use the toilet of his birth gender. BUT several female colleagues have raised a grievance about him using their gendered toilet.
His employer has told him that he cannot use the toilet while he is at work until they sort it out and cannot give him a timeframe to do so. They do [cut off] have disabled separate toilets.
In the mean time one of his female colleagues has accused him of sexual harassment because he was used their gendered toilet. His menstrual cycle meant he needed to use the toilet.
He's been with the employer for just over 5 years but only in this location for 18 months. The location is mainly male with just a handful of females, and his workshop only has male toilets.
I do not know how to support him and as he's not in a union there is no one to turn too right now."

I've now properly caught up on both Nintendo Directs. Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Remake has fantastic-looking environments, but yeah, the character designs look over-engineered. Feels like they used the same engine as Breath of the Wild with a different lighting shader.

i work pretty hard on my art, but 'cause i'm slow i do struggle financially at times... so stumbling across a furry AI slop account that has 70x more subscribers on patreon than me, openly generating slop using an AI that was almost certainly trained off some of my art is so unbearably disheartening

The fact that the Road Runner going “meep meep” was enough to bring half a theater (including myself AND my wife) to tears should be all the evidence you need that #CoyoteVSAcme is well-loved. Go see it. Be part of the force that tells the megacorps that we understand what makes a movie worthwhile.

I love the Sega Mega CD. There were some decent ports and original titles like Keio Flying Squadron, and dammit I like the FMV games Digital Pictures made like Sewer Shark and Night Trap. When most other companies were doing Dragon's Pair clones, they were doing unique mechanics.

Turns of the context of the media's sudden interest in Furries comes from a TV studio working on a documentary for channel 4. I'm on two ends, on the one hand Channel 4 have represented Furries fairly well in the past, but they also aired a despised documentary about ADHD. bsky.app/profile/moos...

I would say that if someone from the media does reach out to you, look up who they work for. A huge red flag are those that say they are a journalist/producer but doesn't give you the name of a company they work for. An even bigger red flag is if they message you via DMs instead of an email.
