Are you ever just, like, hyper-aware that the ruling class has judged you to be a failure and defective and wants you to be a part of the permanent under-class? It sucks that society is on the same side as my terrible self-esteem brain weasels

Random thought activated... Was Dr. Seuss a furry? Like, I know his artstyle and character design was solidified before the furry community as we know it today existed, but... Somehow his characters give me more furry vibes than stuff like Richard Scarry's Busytown books

*sigh* It's getting really annoying trying to find actual live-action roleplaying content on Bluesky and having to scroll through mostly people using "larp" or "larper" as an insult Whatever, but it's frustrating because it makes it harder for larpers to discover new larp people to follow
