Today we would like to recognize Ken Sample aka Ken Cougar. A Black man who is credited with creating and coining the term "Fursona". While drawing one of his "Exotics" Ken drew a Cougar character that looked strikingly like himself. Attendees of this conference also wanted their own characters!

I didn’t think I’d be wading through sewer water at 5am to grab my car keys but here we are. Everything is gone. It’s a total loss. @shrugsyolo.bsky.social lost a lot of her fursuit supplies. I lost most of what I brought up to Canada. We are buying a house soon but loosing our space sucks.

Fuck just sharing this I feel like I gotta quote it to like... point out that one of if not the first fursona ever recorded in the furry community is black coded. Fucking dipshit ass white supremacist furries don't know a DAMN thing about the history of this subculture.

"why do ppl apply race to furries furry is about escapism from race" is a sentence that goes crazy if you're stupid and racist

As posted in a few servers and was alerted to this picture earlier today: What they said. DO NOT FILL IT OUT, it is there to fuck with your artist peers and yourself, they (paypal) can and will abuse this and steal your money by banning your account

Apparently P*ypal now asks for customer opinions on accounts sending invoices. If you are paying an invoice to a nsfw artist, do NOT mention NSFW in any way, keep it blank even. you risk both your account and the artists.

Slight S15 KotH spoilers, but when I put together the layout for this pet cemetery in episode 02, I asked everyone on the crew for names of pets they wanted to see memorialized because I think real pet names hit different than generic placeholder names I would invent on the spot-
