"these researchers published a paper on something that literally any of us could have told you 🙄" ok well my supervisors wont let me write something in my thesis unless I can back it up with a citation so maybe it's a good thing that they're amplifying your voice to the scientific community in a way that prevents people from writing off your experiences as annecdotal evidence
they did the research in the first place because they believed you and wanted to tell people about it. they are not our enemies.

reblog by aphony-cree

people always go "Instead of spending all that time on a study they could have just listened to us when we said these thing happen"

they did listen, that's how studies work, they asked people about their experiences and put all the data together in a nice package that can be cited

Honestly, a miracle it still works. When I plugged it in, there was no light to indicate a charge. When the lock button didn't work, I tried the little pinhole to restart, and the screen was all corrupted.

I'm halfway through the Golden Axe animated series, and it's so damn fun and clever. If it wasn't for this sequence below, you would have thought it was just a satirical take on Dungeons & Dragon fantasy stories and not an adaptation of a SEGA arcade game.
Screenshot from the Golden Axe animated series, where Gyllius Thunderhead is in a retro-game-looking dream sequence where he's pixelated like the original arcade game. He comments on the quality of the art, saying, "It looks like I drew me" whilst looking at a giant blue skeleton.

TLDR: Fur Affinity's advertising partners are demanding that they ban adult content. Sciggles and FA want to firmly tell them to go fuck themselves. If they're going to be able to afford to do that, they need the community's help. Pitch in. Keep furry weird. www.furaffinity.net/journal/1143...

Slight correction: In the graphic novel, the leader of Norsefire is named Adam Susan (Adam Sutler in the film). However, the part about the AI computer that tells him how to run the UK and that he's in love with is completely real. It's called Fate.
Scene in the V for Vendetta graphic novel where Adam Susan is talking about the Fate computer AI.

In the 13th century, an Oxford University student murdered a woman, and the university insisted it would handle the situation internally, leading to riots that caused several students to flee north and found Cambridge University. Keep that in mind when you hear about the Cornell 7.

"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!"

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.

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.
