I figured out a pattern that the most annoying people I meet are people who do not actually have a personality. I think I’M most annoying when I mask in front of people I don’t want to be friends with, and replace it with a generic personality.

I was going to write a new blog post about the role of "influencers" and "content creators" in the furry fandom. But I remembered I already wrote this last year: soatok.blog/2025/09/16/a...

Are You Under the Influence? The Tail That Wags The Dog - Dhole Moments
It is tempting and forgivable to believe that we’re in control of our social media experiences. After all, we write what we want in our bio, select our avatars, and even come up with our own …

At @anthrosocal.org I taught a short choreo to Immortals by Fall Out Boy from Big Hero 6 - Several folks joined me in a flash mob dance out in the convention center on the last day! Here's a video using some of the footage that was shared with me! Thanks to everyone who joined in :) #FursuitFriday

Cowards that pick easy targets and hide behind their s***** friends who are too afraid to stand up to them because they're afraid of being kicked at themselves. Sorry I'm just so mad right now. There's enough pain in the world and we don't need this garbage. We really don't.

The reason it even got this bad is because this person poised themselves as the woke police and modeled their friend group around going after people that they had deemed problematic. It's just cop behavior. Yet time and time again. They just go after sensitive people who are more talented than them

Again, someone who got fired from being a convention chair for abusive behavior is not fit to run social events and should be avoided at all costs. That's all I have to say about that!

If you're a 20-year-old college student and there's some 40-year-old who thinks that they know better than everybody, and they're the only one qualified to run your local Fur meet or whatever, just start your own. We're beyond the point of social Monopoly

There are some real control freaks in this community. They are few and far between though. There are a lot of really wonderful people here, but some folks think they're the CEO of social scenes and love to police others for some reason. Screw them

And they're of all ages too. Sometimes old enough to know damn well better. Jealous insecure people can't figure out how to make a difference in a positive way so they just have to tear things down. That's how they make up for their lack of talent or whatever

Some people can truly only feel things if they're causing trouble for other folks. This is not an exaggeration. If somebody can't hang out without talking smack about other people, they're bad news.

Also if they do shit like this, it's usually not the only weird behavior they have. Sometimes people that surround themselves with parasocial anklebiting yesmen they can do whisper campaigns through also do other weird shit like try to fill power vacuums to have more opportunity to manipulate people

A word of advice to younger people in the community: if it seems like there's one person that dominates the social group and they talk smack about people when those folks aren't around to try and convince you to ditch them, they're doing the same when you're not around to other people.

As a developer who takes pride in my work as a human endeavor, I'm *exhausted*. I see my profession being eroded on all sides by this. It has sucked much of the joy of coding out of my open-source work. The worst part, though, are the fascists who giggle and cheer as it makes life around us worse.

Social media is like navigating thousands of invisible landmines and hoping you haven't already set one off. It's the one benefit of being a nobody here: no one can be offended by me if they don't even know who I am.

This is the most heartbreaking stories I’ve heard in a long time. ICE detained 2-year-old Orlin Hernandez Reyes’ mother. She begged to be reunited with him before deportation. ICE refused. What happened next is horrific. No matter how you feel about immigration, normal people don’t like cruelty.

A school of thought about comedy is that every joke has a victim. The "butt" of the joke, if you will. Except puns. The victim in question is not a person, but language itself.

Excellent work from @wired.com with a little quote from me. Not in the piece: I sent the author a story I did about one of the most expensive fursuits ever sold being bought by a pilot. www.wired.com/story/furry-...

Furry Airline Pilots Are Just Minding Their Own Business
“We’re furries at home, and we’re airline pilots at work, and these are two separate things,” says one member of the community in response to senator Tommy Tuberville's recent rant.

Yeah, I'm REALLY glad they don't do like some sites where it feels like you need the subscription just for casual use If anything, it shows it's not a corpo site, just sucks because so many people had no idea FA even HAD a subscription service since it's so unobtrusive

Honestly, I didn't really even realize FA+ existed because it's so unobtrusive. If you use FA regularly (like many furries I know do), consider getting a FA+ subscription. They're struggling.

-good we've done it will never be enough to be comfortable asking for site donations/assistance. Our resources are limited and avenues of rev aren't keeping bills paid. Depression is eating me up. We have some ideas to bring funds in but again I worry about people hating it/us. I'm tired.

FA was and continues to be the largest by-furries, for-furries service on the web. Losing it would be a huge blow to the community and the artists who rely on it for commissions. If there is any way you can support the site, even if it's just sending a few bucks a month via FA+, please consider it.

I am starting to believe that the "report" function on Bluesky is a placebo. I reported untagged porn for being untagged porn about 6 days ago, and it's still there without a tag. Dozens of people have reported those three harassment accounts, yet they are still harassing and stalking people.

It's still funny that this is a real screenshot of @lastweektonight.com
John Oliver from Last Week Tonight with a tweet I wrote in 2022 at Kandiss Taylor that simply reads "L + ratio + furry butt emote". Below is my Twitch emote, soatokButt. Which features a blue anthro dhole's butt and a smirk looking back over the left butt cheek.The original tweet depicted in the previous screenshot.

Kandiss Taylor: "The furry days are over when I’m governor. Public school is for academics not fairy tales."

Me: "L + ratio + furry butt emote"

I don’t know how I ended up talking about something completely different. But maybe the point is that every adversity is a forcing function for you to change and adapt. If you adapt well, you may end up in a place better than before or you may be able to use one adversity to solve the other.
