The November newsletter is up! And with it, the news you've all been waiting for! ✨ Not only would we like to welcome our new president @gabefoxx.bsky.social, but we're also thrilled to announce our new guild member-exclusive audio fiction narration service! 🔊 furrywritersguild.com/2025/12/01/f...

Wildlife tracking! I'm reposting things I made this past year. If you look closely at the deer tracks you'll see I added the hint that they're double registering (hind foot is stepping into the same spot as front foot).

Reminder that Fortnite has been doing a whole shitload of terrible things lately, and there are way better games you could be playing.

Shopping small is meaningful!

I see some book piracy discourse, and, to make a positive argument in favor of buying books, your marginal ability to influence what books get published and support the careers of writers you like is massive compared to most other forms of media.

A little talked about symptom of ADHD is Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria (RSD). This is an intense feeling that everyone hates you. RSD comes in waves, and does not require events to trigger it. You can be walking along with friends having a great time and suddenly you feel an outsider.

Same goes for us and our other imprints. We need to add this to our submission guidelines, but we have zero tolerance for AI slop and its defenders.

These guys are great! I donate every year and may I suggest that some of the crafts they sell on behalf of the elders make great Christmas presents?

Every time I learn that a game was made using AI, I make a note to never buy it. Every time I learn that a games company is using AI without disclosing it, I make a note to never buy anything from them ever again, even items from their back catalogue predating gen-AI.

Love trying to find some reference images for getting art, except Google search is now worse than useless. I miss the days when you could just... search for something, and lo, you'd get what you'd ask for with minor tweaks at most. Nope! Shopping! AI slop! Completely irrelevant results!

Vaccines save lives. And no, they do not cause autism.

Woah! Ontario passed a law starting Jan 2026 that it is illegal for companies to ghost you. If you have interviewed for a job they are legally required to inform you if they hire someone else or close the position. The law also requires salary transparency on listings and disclosing use of AI

I do love peeps complaining they are too poor to afford my less than 5 dollar books while I face the reality that unless I figure out new income streams, we won't be able to afford housing next year... Most writers ain't rich. Also libraries! Use them!

i have never wanted to make a YouTube video before, but now i want to make one that's basically: Books Are Not Free Content For You, Stop Stealing From Authors, You Scabs. we are not the enemy. every dollar folks think they're taking from Amazon, they're taking from authors more.

The inverse, where you should never use "said" as a dialogue tag, and only use action beats instead to denote who's speaking.

It's verified. Don't know for how long I'll hold it, but right now I have a speedrun world record. www.speedrun.com/Shinobi_Art_...

I was thinking about buying a warbond but surely there's a middle ground that has me not doing that anymore

Why am I so against generative AI in games? Because I simply do not want my initial reaction to art to be one of suspicion and scrutiny, AI slop is fundamentally damaging my relationship to art and artistry, and I am deeply resentful that it is forcing me to be guarded when I should be wowed.

Populating my Ko-fi ship so I can move there permanently because fuck Etsy. For so many things, but the final straw for me was allowing merch to be sold supporting modern concentration camps.

Inventory in our crow indie game 🐦‍⬛🐦‍⬛🐦‍⬛ what do you think? #indiegame #indiedev #gaming #crow #art #gamedev

It looks fun but I'm not touching it.

Heads up for folx playing Arc Raiders: Embark has openly stated (in an interview with GamesRadar+), that the game uses the same AI voice tech as The Finals, and the CEO has talked about using AI to generate 3D models from YouTube rips. If you're anti-AI you should not be playing Arc Raiders!

For everyone who needs to hear this today: dogs still exist.

Weird flower ( @zyleeth.bsky.social )

I’ve mentioned this a lot but being a writer in a massive community that usually puts visual art front and center can be frustrating to deal with. It’s why I see feedback as so important, it tells me people have read my work. Lately people don’t even like my stories and it’s just been frustrating.

Me: I'd love it if I could really tap into the best language knowledge and showcase my writing skills to the world. I need to put my gifts to good use. Also me: flimblesnarf bandledorp

I don't think I've come across a poem that taps into my ethos when it comes to navigating queer community within the context of a hostile world as much as "We Have Enough Dead Friends" by Lena Oleanderson. I strive to make my home a sanctuary where other faggots feel safe and cared for.

New awareness campaign

the nyt posts this stuff like avoiding AI for 48 hours is hard and meanwhile i have literally never once intentionally used an AI program for anything ever

Please I'm begging people to share this with your friends if you're still on twt/x and get the hell outta there.

The thing about the relentless march of time is that you only get an ending (happy or otherwise) in fiction. Here in the real world no cause is ever lost forever even though we may not live to see it prevail. This is both hope and cautionary tale.

The AI bubble will burst. The techbros will hire people to write think pieces about why thats bad ( because it costs too much to run their stupid ai) but you. You'll still be an artist :)

The snow leopard vaccinator smiled at the news of the conviction and imprisonment of the dog pack that had tried to extort treatments for preventable diseases. Now, everyone would know that an ounce of prevention was worth more than a pound of cure. Happy International Snow Leopard Day! :V

All of these "if you see this, post ______" quote chains inspire exactly one reaction from me. (it also happens with second person perspective stories)

cry havoc and let slip the frogs of war

Will be stocking up on some ebooks to read while recovering from surgery. Please share some recommendations for furry and/or trans fantasy and sci-fi stories!

there's probably proper posts about this, but if any of ya'll use ipads, affinity photo 2, designer 2, and publisher 2 are free for a limited time! they're dupes of photoshop, illustrator, and indesign dl the app, make an account, start the trial, go to the account tab, and buy the license for $0

porn is not evil. sex is not evil. pleasure is not evil. kink is not evil. none of them are things to feel shame or embarrassment about. none of them deserve the heavy-handed censorship that they're facing. resist oppression (even if you don't partake in what is being oppressed)

"or"?

Me: okay I've bought like five games I really need to stop, no more buying games ... With one exception, now. store.steampowered.com/app/2451100/...

Oh my God this.

How can one believe in intelligent design in a world without gryphons?
