Voting NO on the DHS funding bill is the bare minimum. Backing Kristi Noem’s impeachment is the bare minimum. Holding law-breaking ICE agents legally accountable is the bare minimum. ICE is beyond reform. Abolish it.

The nomination cycle for the 2025 Ursa Major Awards has now begun! They will be open until February 5th, 11:59 PM PST! ursamajorawards.org/nominations.... You can go back and edit your nominations at any time until the period has ended!

Today's obscure art post is a BTS (Behind The Scenes) from my occasional forays into the Live Action Actor AU Cast of Red Lantern ... lookit Puck just housing that sandwich.

May I remind everyone that there is currently NO cure for rabies. May I also remind everyone there is absolutely NO scientific proof connecting ANY vaccine that we produce today with autism. This is true regarding vaccination in both humans AND in dogs. Vaccinate your pets please.

📚✨ The Coyotl Awards reading list for 2025 is currently open for submissions! ✨📚 This is a 'for your consideration' list - authors and non-guild members are permitted to send their works in for inclusion Submissions close Jan 31st coyotlawards.com/2025-coyotl-...

(Nude-free version) TLDR insurance sucks meds expensive. Things will be okay once I hit my meds deductible, but I need $250 for these meds/the deductible. Now more than ever I could really use the help. If you can spare anything, send me a few bucks: nudebat.carrd.co Reposts very appreciated ;_:

Would appreciate forever if you could help out, whether through money or reposts. I think I might put my ref sheet stuff on hold for a bit and practice doing photo draw-overs with my characters. If I can make them look at least okay I'll take basically PWYW commissions to try and get a few bucks.

As a younger historian, I was obsessed with my plastic models being historically accurate. They had to be perfect and correct. Now, as an older historian, I go "Eh. I don't give a shit. I'm building models for a video game version of WWII where I make the rules, and I do what I want." 1/2

Some people were confused by my ICE post. This should clear it up.

Did you know you could nominate The Blood of Life for an Ursa Major Award? Well, if you liked, it you totally should!

I have 1 short story eligible for nomination: "Mate of Dreams" in Altered States: Draconic Desires, from @furplanet.com, edited by @tjmindewrites.bsky.social. The anthology is also eligible for nomination.

We're all set up at @furcon.bsky.social! Books, comics, calendars!

Read something furry published in the last year? Loved it? Suggesting it for the Ursas' recommended reading list only takes a minute and it's a big boost for the author ^.^

“But what do you expect Democrats to doo-hooo?” 1) Refuse to fund this criminal government anymore. 2) EVERY one of them call to abolish ICE (and bonus, DHS). No more “they need training” shit. Promise prosecutions. 3) EVERY one of them call for Trump’s impeachment, relentlessly, EVERY day.

For Obscure art today, how about this little cutie? I've definitely posted him before, but I don't think he was every widely circulated.

A tough lesson for the 'GenAI is valid' creator: You didn't make the thing. You expressed yourself as clearly as you could to a mechanism which reacted to that expression, and generated a response to it. This output is not 'yours', any more than a poem someone writes in response to your poem. ->

I just want to make something explicitly clear as a publisher. If you are using generative AI, we will not work with you. No AI art, writing, brainstorming, nothing. I won't entertain any debate or attempts to get us to change this policy.

Since it apparently must be said again: The use of Generative AI at any point in the composition of a piece of writing does mean, according to our policies, that it is ineligible to be read on The Voice of Dog. "Just for research" is not an acceptable excuse.

An essential part of "just moving on" from WWII was the Nuremberg Trials. Just saying...

It’s publication day for my short story collection, The Analog Cat! ⌚🐈 If you enjoy the kind of whimsical nonsense I post to social media, my fiction is pretty much the same thing but longer and with a plot.

Tis the season. I worked in postal services for 15 years, and to try and retain sanity at this time of year, I used to joke that my role in Christmas was as a reindeer. So a few years back, I got this from @tehknuxlight.bsky.social to get in the spirit. Now, I can do this for fun.

Today is the day to repost this meme about International Men's Day, one of the most unironically wholesome memes that has ever been made. Shoutout to all my fellow champs, chiefs, and kings. ✊

It's Word Wednesday! Remember our reading during #FurryBookMonth? On recommendation of @kyellgold.com, why not have November be Furry Book Review Month? So how about reviewing the books you read last month? Eith short form here or long form on review or sale sites?

The thing that makes me an "outcast" (this is very much a joke) in my family isn't the fact that I'm gay, poly, furry, or write smut... It's that I hate blue cheese on wings and am fully Team Ranch.

I wish I could edit posts. Typo, that's 10% at FurPlanet. Sorry!

hey georgia, early voting is happening now -- please vote out the shitty republicans who keep increasing our electricity bills for no reason and show them we can kick them to the curb if they don't work for the people!!!!!! find your early voting precincts here: mvp.sos.ga.gov/s/

You can find a story from me in each of the Anthologies from the Furry Historical Fiction Society, published by @tfpublishing.bsky.social at www.tfpublishing.com.au/store.

Do it, cowards.

Is Deaf Pup Culture real? Yes. But finding community is hard. I worry it could disappear. I'm creating content to build a bridge for disabled pups and keep our culture alive. Your shares help! 🐺🤟 #pups #pupplay #deaf #deaffurry #asl #pupplaycommunity #disability

Minneapolis! @kyellgold.com will be foxing around the halls of @ncgaylaxians.bsky.social this weekend (Oct. 3-5)! There'll be signings, and the pièce de résistance, another slash-fic reading w/ @lydamorehouse.bsky.social. (Last time? Kyell read his Rev Runner & Tech E Coyote slash. This time...?!)

This has been the worst month of my life. Short version: we need to raise money to make a housing payment, here is the link, if you cannot help directly please spread this to anyone who can: gofund.me/ee369fe61 For the long version, buckle up.

Need a book to unplug and relax with during these chaotic times? I've got you covered with some exciting furry fiction and poetry.

Today is #HobbitDay because both Bilbo and Frodo Baggins were born on September 22nd. Normally we'd shire a hobbit pun or two but it might just feel like a tolkien gesture and we don't want to embarrass our elves. Anyway come and boromir #Tolkien books.

What's the difference between the French and giant media companies? The French actually fought fascists.

Because I don't have anywhere to post my writing, till SoFurry comes back, I've started the process of putting up short stories on Subscribestar. This SHOULD be publicly available barring some "living in a state that thinks it should be illegal to read the word 'cock'" issues. #Writing #FurryLit

I think we should pass this around again

Listen to your cute local arctic fox Puck says, "Get vaccinated!"

Today's strategy was framing it all in "why has there been no response? what 'issues' could possibly need more than four weeks of discussion?" terms.

Welp, here goes nothing.

Can absolutely recommend! (That's my fox self shaking up a drink bottom left.) Go get your own too!

TOMORROW. Book Launch for "Of Late Belonging" a gay BDSM romance novel! I'll (hopefully) see you at @doghouseleathers.bsky.social at noon for a (adults only!) reading and signing at noon! I've been waiting for this for a long time. #FurryLit #BookSky
