THREAD: I got laid off from NYMag/Vulture after 14 years. The family lost 75% of income + medical. Now mzs.press bookstore, once a side project. is do-or-die for Judith & I. I feel weird telling you this because others are doing much worse. But if you could like or share this, we'd be so grateful!

If you want to excise kink from the furry community you are a fascist. You don't get to hide behind obfuscating language. You are a fascist and the thing that you want is fascism.

Idk what else to do, my car is not safe to drive right now but I have to drive to work tonight, I can't afford to miss as my other job hasn't scheduled me all March This is an emergency type thing so if you can share and have a look you will literally be saving my ass Placecalledbliss.bigcartel.com

yes hippos yes femmes

I adore fat people. I adore being fat. I adore our various fatnesses

It actually kicks ass how much the people who run this site hate the people who use it. Just constant seething meltdowns over having to put up with a bunch of artists, furries, and trans people instead of crypto-hustlers and AI guys making Linkedin-tier posts. I'm glad they're miserable, frankly

Seething over my lush bountiful fields, over my delicious soup, and over having a beautiful wife

anyone have any tips on making better comics

NEW: In Minneapolis, @cameronoakes.bsky.social and Sam Donndelinger report, ICE’s Operation Metro Surge is preventing Latino patients from accessing HIV care. This story was produced in collaboration with @unclosetedmedia.bsky.social, an investigative LGBTQ-focused nonprofit news publication.

Maybe it’s a bad idea to put people in charge of government who are eager for the rapture.

in early 2025 i drew B&W paintings series Candidus, inspiring @starkeeper.bsky.social to compose gorgeously astounding and dare-to-be-different tracks unlike anything ive heard from the furry music community. Candidus is where art and music becomes one. Thank you, Star. your music means a lot to me

We want to believe in a world where furries and otaku, therians and the age incongruent, pet players and ageplayers, pet and age regressors , can work together to make sure our expressions are not held back by censorious policy, bigoted appraisal, nor overtake by extremist and abuse groups.

reminding myself of this

"Oh hey, some guys!" "Evil guys." "What makes them evil?" "They hit me." sometimes kids put things very simply and it feels profound bcuz it so easily illustrates how simple it can be to identify injustice

People should read my essay about being a lesbian instead

wow!

from last night 🌕✖️

A large group of peaceful protesters was just arrested by what appears to be game wardens and other state police at the Whipple building. Minnesota State police are directly working with ice and the federal government to protect them and attack Minnesota’s citizens.

it's simple really

How are you? I've woken up feeling v tender about everyone. I miss everyone and love everyone and wish I could hug them and hold them tight. I need like a grief circle about imperialism and dictatorships. I hope everyone is doing okay despite it all </3

just became aware of this--the regime wants to clear-cut massive chunks of Oregon's old growth forests in the name of timber production. you have until March 23rd to comment. i know we have endless fucking things to scream at politicians about--this is an important one too.

as a trans person living in a red state that i cannot realistically pack up & leave right now + i have community here i depend on: i ask of you to see the ways things can get better for the whole of us instead of abandoning a geographic area just bc of who is oppressing us in the seats of power

Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.

the worlds not over keep taking your meds keep taking your HRT keep scheduling surgeries keep talking to friends keep eating keep sleeping the worlds not over you're still needed

no war no borders no cops no prisons no to all of this shit

things every single republican president of your lifetime has done - started a war in the middle east - completely destroyed the economy

We have politicians curling themselves into knots insisting that it’s trans people or immigrants that are ruining the peace, while they gleefully let a convicted felon with accusations of pedophilia team up with the other genocidal war monger country.

The world could be such a nice place if we allowed it. It's all so goddamn unnecessary. There's no need for any of it. It's so beautiful here. It should be so cool to be alive

This is amazing. www.getyourfuckingmoneyback.com

We all learn from a young age that there’s enough food for everyone but millions of people starve anyway, that millions die from diseases for which cheap medicines exist, that there are many more houses than houseless, and so we learn exactly how much our lives are worth if we’re ever in the way.

Hey team! Don’t let this pass! Or even get a “respectable” show of yeas.

It’s not just Medicaid funding they’re withholding to MN. It’s food assistance, child care assistance, social services, job training, safety testing, public health, disaster relief. SNAP. Free lunch for kids in school. They hate us for loving our neighbors, and are collectively punishing us for it.

If you have the means, please donate to the Trans Continental Pipeline right now. They are a Colorado based org that helps trans people relocate and they are overwhelmed with requests. Colorado borders Kansas, and TCP has the infrastructure to help get people out. tcpipeline.org

Once again...I hope we all make it. I hope everyone can feel loved. Cuz I really think ppl do this shit bcuz they feel unloved or unloveable themselves.
