Managed to do all my subscriber data entry for the month (there's a lot of it - each month takes me ~2-3 hours to get it all in), and got a couple of templates done. Making sure I don't just immediately push myself to burnout after the long break - working myself back into a rhythm instead.

Just to add clarity: The SCREEN act was never going to get past committee in the Senate. It's been proposed 3-4 times and has been soundly rejected every time. It's good to celebrate the victory and breathe a sigh of relief but don't rest on laurels: while SCREEN failed, KOSA advanced. Keep calling.
I've spent most of today either sitting at my desk not doing much, or lying in bed reading. And yet I'm still so tired. I knew I would need to decompress after the trip, but I feel so EXHAUSTED and I don't know why.
Finally home from New England - spent 14 hours on a train yesterday, slept for about 12 hours, and now I just need a day to decompress and get my sleep schedule back to normal lol
Hi there! Cargie here. I've been working on Fables Diapers with my good pal Karis over the last few months. We learned a lot from our experiences in the last year and this is the result. A new brand with a new vision and the same great quality you loved from ComfyKinz. #abdl
May your harvest be bountiful and sustain you through the cold winter months ahead. May the love of friends and family, born or found, warm you always. Blessed Lughnasadh ❤️
One of my top supporters is a millwright and another works in a grocery store deli. They both work their asses off day after day. Yes, we DO have doctors and lawyers and engineers, but we also have the people who form the backbone of our everyday experiences, and they deserve a place at the table.
I will say as a service industry physical laborer in the furry community we need to acknowledge how bad of a problem we have uplifting the blue collar workforce that makes up most of our community like. i see posts celebrating The STEM and art and medical but never our postal workers or janitors.

We bullied *Adobe* off of this website within 24 hours for their AI slop. I don't care if you're a "small, independent" community bean: if you embrace AI, you're not welcome or wanted here. Get out.
I fucking LOVE seeing accounts that admit to gen AI usage get fucking destroyed and deactivated within a couple hours of admitting to using it because the community backlash was swift and severe. Keep that shit up. Be the change you want to see in the world~

can't stop laughing😭
Gonna be real: it's deeply shitty to aggressively demand that artists who worked on a large project guarantee to you that nobody who touched the project used AI. They can't know that and they're not responsible for that. They can only know things within the scope of their own job.
If you want to understand what the Boston driving experience is, imagine merging to the RIGHT from an on-ramp. In a tunnel. Into 6 lanes of bumper-to-bumper traffic at 70 mph.
A good reminder to everyone that we do *not* have automated or bot services on FA. Every staff notice you receive has a person behind it and should show a staff badge by their name. Beware of anyone trying to impersonate staff or send you mystery links.
hey @sciggles.com your bot flagged me for some reason after uploading art that I very much drew, by hand. If you could look into it and fix this please lmk. My fa is tegan
“how do you defend bernie sanders’ latest comments on graham platner?” my brother there is simply no need. bernie’s wrong about this one. a politician is a tool, not a god
I get the sentiment, but also most people don’t “care” about Jimothy. They are entertained by him and his popularity is going to get him killed. I would prefer we not compare disabled animals to disabled people because we don’t treat either with dignity or respect.
I have no interest in those panels, so I'm not going to them, I am an adult who is responsible for my own happiness so I choose to do things I'll find enjoyable, this is why I have fun at cons instead of again, being extremely earth-shatteringly unreasonably fuck-ass mad online all the time
it has been disgusting to watch how someone can be like "i think the topic of babyfur spaces at cons has some nuance to it" and the comments are just full of people who are under 25 and not even going to cons just being like "just admit you're a pedophile you freak" like ohhhh my god
Whenever i see young furries complaining about older furries and their weird kinks i think of this do u feel me
I love Amtrak but dear gods the wifi on this train is dogshit lol Anyway, 3-hour layover here in Philadelphia - would like to get a bit of sleep, not sure I'll be able to, but would be nice if I did
"In some cases, panels that attendees may have been anticipating were not submitted this year." Like I said. If you're saying "why so many babyfur panels but no panel for x or y?" the answer is probably because no one stepped up to DO those other panels.
On my way up to Boston <3
all this is to say, if you are in this community and have enough disposable income to afford conventions, fursuits, and art, you better be investing your money back in our community. Support our creatives.
Ugh, I'm sick of waiting, I want to get on the train noowwwwww *stompy paws*
Megaplex's only mistake (and I'm not even sure I can call it a mistake) is not clearly communicating that there's a dedicated space for babyfurs, which made the schedule look more cluttered than it really was. Cons have had "pool toy rooms" for years. This is the same thing but for babyfurs.
Sorry, it's late at night and I'm keyed up (17-hour train trip tomorrow), so I realize I'm pontificating a bit.
ON THE FLIP SIDE OF THIS: Not every space is for you. People are allowed to be uncomfortable about your kinks. People are allowed to NOT want to associate with you. You are not owed consideration by every single artist, convention, event, or website. "Curate your space" works both ways.
"Block and move on" is great. "Curate your space" is great. You should do both of those things. But a lot of y'all need to learn, understand, and internalize: You WILL see shit that makes you uncomfortable no matter how well you curate your space. You need to not make that everyone else's problem.
