Hey, @unclekage.bsky.social! Not sure if you remember @deer.wesleyhicks.art (Mete) and I; we were at Furrest with you. Any chance you could reach out to us? We were hoping to chat about our time in Ukraine! We've been thinking about ways to be supportive of the furries we met there!

Looks like you have your DMs turned off :-) just shoot me a message and I’ll share my telegram! :-)

At the moment, Telegram is the best way to make inquiries. I’ll DM you mine and you can shoot me a message there. I’m on my way home from FWA and will have my email set up when I get back to NYC!

Hi Seether! These are really great questions. I’m going to write something up for you and reply to your posts! My job with @newanthrodam.com focuses on building trust and connection between NYC Community and NAD. It’s our hope that we can provide all the relevant details you’d need to enjoy NAD!

I’ve gotten so many wonderful questions from people all across the NYC-Metro & Mid-Atlantic about @newanthrodam.com in the past few days. Thank you so much. It’s been such a pleasure to chat with all of you! Don’t stop reaching out, that’s what I’m *deer* for!

…Community, personally for sharing their experience & knowledge w/ a hearing person. I wouldn’t be the self actualized man I am today with their warmth and wisdom.

Ian “Apollo” Gray @iangray.bsky.social · 04/05/2026

… this something we do. Our accessibility coordinator will be announced soon and as soon as they are, please feel free to reach out to them or to me, and we’ll get it done. I’m a beneficiary of the furry community’s dedication to accessibility and I owe a great debt of gratitude to the Deaf…

Ian “Apollo” Gray @iangray.bsky.social · 04/05/2026

Ok, lol, please forgive me, my ancient cellphone crashed while writing my multi-message response and I need to get back work. Yes, we will; I don’t know the details around accessibility and ASL interpretation for cons, but as a former student of Arkady Belozovsky, I will personally ensure that…

Ian “Apollo” Gray @iangray.bsky.social · 04/05/2026

Hey Vergundy! Great question! Those partnerships are in the works and we’re absolutely open to any connections you might have or suggestions you might want to make. Personally, as an avid MtG player, I’d love to organize a furry MtG event at the Brooklyn Strategist!

…mean the world to me. I’m so sorry it’s taken me this long to introduce myself, but I’m here to help ensure that NAD is additive and supportive to NYC furry community. So, I guess, in short, what can I do to help? I can absolutely give you my telegram so I’m easy to reach!

Hi Charrax! I’m Apollo, I’m NADs local community liaison. I live in Fort Greene & I’m here to be the conduit between NAD the NYC metro furry groups. NYFurs, NYCFM, and Growl are all communities that welcomed me with open arms when I moved to NYC. Those groups and the friends I’ve made in them…

If you don’t understand the difference between calling out the howling hypocrisy of people that fund, support, pass and sign legislation making LGBTQ+ lives illegal and kink shaming, you need to sit down and think harder. When Ms. Graham’s secret is revealed, we should guard his closet? Nope.

…then there’s some sort of horizon, or maybe perspective, I have that they don’t. It’s my bit of a boon snatched from envy. Maybe I’m better at ‘looking and thinking’ than I am ‘living and doing.’ If you’re out of step, the world looks clearer but you become blurrier…

Ian “Apollo” Gray @iangray.bsky.social · 22/03/2026

Regardless, feeling out of step is deeply melancholic and the limited catharsis I can pull from that melancholia is that if the people in the me-world are both fully conscious entities independent of the me-world they’re currently AND somehow living in it, with ease or struggle…

Ian “Apollo” Gray @iangray.bsky.social · 22/03/2026

When I see the people in my me-world, in my life at large and in my presence in the moment, living a harmony that they can’t hear, I can’t help but envy them the present-presence they access. It’s all in my head, obviously; everyone feels like an outsider looking in, sometimes…

Ian “Apollo” Gray @iangray.bsky.social · 22/03/2026

Every now and again (and even more so, as of late), I feel like I’m out of step with the world I inhabit. Not the whole world; I feel the zeitgeist like a wind at my back. No, I mean a narrower me-world; one bounded by the limits of my own perception and my capacity for distinction.

I wanted to share the context because w/out it, it’s easy to come to conclusions about the clips significance in isolation. He rambled about nothing & lied through his teeth 90mins; that’s disqualifying enough w/out needing to invite speculation into something otherwise. I hope that helps! :-)

000

Ian “Apollo” Gray @iangray.bsky.social · 15/01/2026

I agree, I don’t think the context makes him look any better. It’s not *that* the clip is bad, but *why* the clip is bad that shifts w/ context; our reason for critique changes & that seems important given ambiguity of the clip. And, I also agree that nothing OP said was false.

Ian “Apollo” Gray @iangray.bsky.social · 15/01/2026

I agree, he still looks like an asshole because he is, lol. The entire speech is an embarrassment... because he’s an embarrassment. It’s not *that* the clip is bad, but *why* the clip is bad that shifts w/ context; our reason for critique changes & that seems important given ambiguity of the clip.

Ian “Apollo” Gray @iangray.bsky.social · 14/01/2026

The context for the clip is starts around ~30:15; it’s about 30secs long. www.youtube.com/live/_GtFZ8n...

As expected, OP was more interested in appealing to emotions & engaging deceptive imagery persuasion, than they were in sharing facts w/ context. They blocked me before I could finish my thread, haha. Here’s what OP posted, what I posted on their thread & the outcome. See my thread for more.

Ian “Apollo” Gray @iangray.bsky.social · 13/01/2026

I agree. He’s a disgrace to the Presidency and a danger to the US, the world, & democracy. I just concerned by posts of him out of context because of the risk of misinformation spreading. IMHO the strongest arguments & strongest opposition comes from challenging him & his policies on the merits.

000

Ian “Apollo” Gray @iangray.bsky.social · 13/01/2026

Definitely! Pres. Trump has been a disaster for the US & for the entire world. He’s dangerous & his ideology is hateful. IMHO, meaningful criticisms of him, and his administration, shouldn’t be made by posting clips of him out of context. OP seems not to have agreed, haha
