I got cited in a callout document. Had to happen eventually, I guess. Repose document hosted by XelArtz, linked, I stated my piece there. I don’t do socials much anymore, but felt I needed to share this one.

Aro is good people, and deserving of help

He’s going by Pope Leo. Furry Artists, I’m waiting. With popcorn.

If you make art (any art! Not just visual), no matter how big your audience or if you think you're "successful" or "enough", you are giving people the energy to get through another day. You're part of the reason folks have an easier time holding on. Keep creating!! Your art matters!!!

XELA 2025 but actually this time #xelartz

Everyone deserves to have a hype otter in their lives. If you need one, let me know!

To all my furry friends! I’m writing a one-shot in an Urban Fantasy setting and would like to ask for opinions: what do YOU think a Furry Convention would look like in a world where, 4-5 years prior, half of the world died and a third of the remainder became random fantasy creatures? Reply or DM!

HE SAID HE WAS GONNA!

For those of you who like the Miraculous series, I’ve begun posting a fanfic up on AO3. It will be seven chapters total, posted one each Friday #ml #mlb #fanfic archiveofourown.org/works/622589...

How does one distinguish between an Israeli and a Latin American? As them about “Bamba”

A friend of mine did the most evil possible thing to me. He recommended a free, high-quality, lewd, 100+ hour RPG to me. This makes keeping up with writing more challenging 🤣

Terrible things are happening in the world, but not everything that happened this year was terrible. fixthenews.com/86-stories-p...

In case any of my fellow creatives also needed this reminder:

Watched Red One. Speaking as a Jewish Internet Otter, this is the first Xmas movie I’ve actually enjoyed from beginning to end. The amount of detail, world building, and thought that went into all the gags is incredible to me. Seriously, even if the holiday isn’t your thing (like me), worth it

Who in the ACTUAL FUCK is threatening Chise of all people? Her work is responsible for saving tens of thousands of lives, and she has been an unending fountain of good information for all of us.

I'm officially tapped out and ignoring all corporate media at this point. They're continually misrepresenting the news, so fuck it. If you think THIS was what was going to make Trump really act out, you're officially too stupid to talk to me. (Hint: He's *already* been really acting out for years.)

A book recommendation, with a warning that it will be challenging for Christians to read if they choose to pick up. Written by Rabbi Stuart Federow: Judaism and Christianity, a contrast. a.co/d/hoL5Aze

As we discuss what we are thankful for on this day of Thanksgiving, I am thankful for the right to worship freely and not mandated to a state religion that I disagree with.

the reason art with ai at the creative helm will never get traction in any long term or meaningful trot is because art is more than what is in the text of the book, or notes of the song, or runtime of the movie. art is whats OUTSIDE of the medium, a performance piece between creator and experiencer

Yep. Color me among the Twitter Evacuees. Been here a bit, but the art community was definitely holding me there. That said! Three really good ones here I know! @moiddoesart.bsky.social @domochevsky.bsky.social @kdlf.bsky.social I’ve commed all of them and know they’re AMAZING!

Over the next few months, we're gonna see some queer/trans folks go back into the closet/detransition for their own safety, especially in rural areas. This is not the same as assimilation or compliance, and these folks are not "traitors." This is camouflage. This is strategy.

I started with objectively bad Pokemon fanfiction during the Gold/Silver era. I then made mediocre WoW, Naruto, and Bleach fic. Now I’m a published author. The most important rule is to love what you do, the second most is to DO IT.

Hi! Looking for a group of people to blame for the Dem loss this year? May I suggest blaming: 1- White people 2- The church (Evangelical, Fundy, Catholic) 3- Dem leadership afraid of angering their donors If you are blaming a marginalized group or part of a marginalized group, you're a bad person

I wrote this in July but it’s even more true now. We need all hands on deck and there’s a lot of deck. This post will help you find your role. Solidarity and community care are the how. Never forget that your capacity to fight for justice and your capacity to love must stay intertwined.

I’m gonna wake up and keep trying to do good and so are you and no one gets to vote on that.

whoops i drew this bolero on my funny lil punk rock robot 'cause i thought it'd look cute on them. it absolutely does. (also follow chan if you don't already shhhhh)

I really do not feel I was adequately prepared for how much Nazis would play a part in my adult life. Hearing about Nazis, reading about Nazis, seeing pictures of Nazis, here a Nazi, there a Nazi, everywhere a fucking Nazi. I am extremely tired of having to think about Nazis.

Here, have this Benni Woodward, a 5e arcane archer tiefling I drew for someone. This took about 2h. Someone in her ancestry made a deal with an ice devil and decided to make that her problem.

A total of 5h later I have drawn a thing for @otterly.bsky.social in exchange for monies. It features characters from a story of theirs (A genie, a IRS dragon, and a ...surfer dude working at Buckstars) I have the progress recording, too, but there ain't no videos here, alas.

If I ever get to the point of success where I need to hire IT staff, I'm just putting a field in the application for 'please describe your fursona briefly, but comprehensively.'

Ok...so a popular furry site had its owner die, then conservative hackers took it over and it's socials and redirected people to malware sites and maga shit Now a furry hacker collective says they ided the perp and emptied his crypto wallet

I used to laugh at the concept of a “cognitohazard.” I mean, really, a thought or piece of knowledge that is dangerous to have even considered? … then I heard the Australian Breakdancer referred to as “Napoleon Vegemite.” I’ve been laughing so hard I can’t tie my shoes for the last half hour.
