This is a video I made back when the Texas FURRIES Act was still being voted on. I was too scared to post it at the time, because my activism on this matter and perspectives as a survivor of anti- therian conversion abuse got me harassed off my platform. I wont be silent any more, now.

This is the GOP's 11th anti-furry bill based on the litter box urban legend. Read why the GOP is doing this, with context & sources: otherkinnews.dreamwidth.org/97521.html The bill author suggested he's baiting furries to make a spectacle at the hearing. Furries, please take care with publicity.

Read this part. Diverting public funds into private pockets at the cost of kids education wasn't popular. Not even among Texas Republicans(!) So, the governor made it a loyalty test, separating sheep from goats, attacking those not in line with his agenda. The school issue didn't even matter for it.

Why the governor of Texas was spreading lies about furries, making a distraction with a mission to crush anyone under the tank treads while rolling this forward. bsky.app/profile/prop...

Texas Republicans proposed HB 4814, the "F.U.R.R.I.E.S. Act," to criminalize allowing furries in public schools, based on an urban legend. Here's my roundup of media coverage of the bill in the month since. otherkinnews.dreamwidth.org/97162.html Mirror: otherkinnews.tumblr.com/post/7812940...

Our latest article! Dæmonism (or daemonism) is the practice of creating and interacting with an animal personification of one's subconscious, inspired by the His Dark Materials series. The daemonism community also created the word "otherhearted." #alterhuman #daemonism #dæmonism

'AI Destroyed the Digital Artist' (from our BLFC show) is based on the 80's hit by The Buggles. This parody is a modern commentary on AI art. In the same vein as the original, it's a reflection on how technological advancements can disrupt established creative artforms with sad consequences.

Are you an Alterhuman? It's more likely than you think

New Yorkers, please call your state rep, state senator, and Kathy Hochul and tell them NO MASK BANS. This garbage proposal would kill people. We're on the verge of a measles epidemic and this terrible governor is pushing this? NO. Find your reps here: reps.fyi gothamist.com/news/gov-hoc...

I see a lot of DON'T TALK TO THE MEDIA posts due to rightwing smearing. Opposing media does harm too, especially in cases of injustice and misinformation spreading within. Example: rumors about the MFF 2014 chlorine attack made false belief in an "accident" rather than deliberate terrorism. 🧵

Remember: If you wanna stay out of politics, that's fine. But remember that the bigots want to eliminate ALL safe spaces for furries, queers, and minorities ever. That's the endgame, and if you wanna wait for the furpocalypse, you'll be alone with no one and no where to turn for help.
