Are any mutuals going to Furry Migration that are looking for a roommate? If so please DM me, realized I got into the Artist Alley so I’m looking for a room!!

NEW: Over the last few months, Meta has run dozens of paid ads that included AI-generated CSAM. The ads, some of which were linking out to “nudify” apps, targeted men in the US, UK, and a dozen European countries. Some were running in the last few days

Meta Ran Ads That Contained AI-Generated Child Sexual Abuse Imagery

More than 50 offending image and video ads were published across Facebook, Instagram, Messenger, or Threads, according to Meta’s ad library data. Some ran as recently as this week.

I understand that people like computer and want computer to be real, but you cannot convince me that anything computer provides is worth submitting to fascism and a free flow of CSAM.

SCREEN Act, which would have required mandatory age-verification for sites (like this) that allow "material harmful to minors" failed to pass out of committee after thousands and thousands of people called their Senators. More work ahead!

The SCREEN Act just failed to pass in the Senate Commerce Committee! 🎉 Enormous thanks to the thousands (!!) of you who told your Senators to vote no! Your voice matters and you should feel good that you made a difference. Obviously, the fight isn't over, but this was an important victory.

Happy #WildDogWorksWednesday everyone, and Zaffre has a finished head 🙌✨ #furry #fursuit #fursuitmaker #wilddogworks

If you're part of the BioWare or Sims community and want to talk about how those studios' queer characters and themes have impacted you and your fears for those series moving forward after this sale, I'd love to chat with you for a Kotaku story. Can be reached here or email kshepard@kotaku.com

Well, I guess Electronic Arts belongs to Saudi Arabia, private equity, and Jared Kushner now. https://kotaku.com/electronic-arts-officially-belongs-saudi-arabia-jared-kushner-now-2000721666

You're not allowed to nitpick someone else's fursona. If you don't like how their character is designed, tough tits, don't complain to them about it. Get over it. No one asked. Their character is probably designed that way because it makes them happy or has meaning, ever think of that?

Throwback Tuesday to Fur The More 2024. 🐦 One of the first photos of my pirate outfit that resonated with people. The blue velvet & gold became one of my favorite looks. What's your favorite outfit your fursona has worn? 📸: @cofresiphotography.bsky.social #ThrowbackTuesday #FurTheMore2024

We only rate dogs. This is a baby kangaroo, as you can tell by the kickstart button on her foot. Please only send dogs. Thank you... 12/10 (TT: supernoodlegirls)

Itching to barter with your fellow furs? Then get your trinkets ready for trade at the 2026 Megaplex Trinket Trade!

Did you know golden retrievers were originally bred to retrieve waterfowl? This doggy is going back to his roots, collecting some high tech birds! 😉

still looking for nominees regarding conventions that were hampered or done in entirely because of the host venue for one reason or another.

Sunsets are so pretty, but whatever you do, DON’T look directly at the sun!! Be safe: look at paintings of the sun instead. I am posting these for your personal eye health. You’re welcome!

Any of you using the ios version of Patreon to support me, switch to the browser version instead, cuz the apple fees have actually taken over 3000 usd from me in the course of a year

doc@docseuss.bsky.social · 6mo ago

I'm begging you not to use apple products. This shit is devastating to creators like me

The SCREEN Act is not just another age-verification bill — it goes much further than anything passed at the state-level or in other countries. 1. The bill doesn't just target porn sites. It goes after *any* site that allows material "harmful" to minors. You'd have to scan your face to use Google.

Alright, lets see if this bad boy gets approved and we’ll get to inking~

And for the really bad news? They've put a target on VPNs. Sites are required to identify (and age-verify) any US citizen, regardless of whether they're using a VPN. In fact, the default is to get the ID and biometrics of EVERYONE unless you can somehow prove their not a US citizen.

"VPNs are a privacy and security tool used by millions of internet users every day, and their use should not be treated as suspect. It is particularly galling that the SCREEN Act forces users who intentionally take steps to protect their privacy to identify themselves."

We've survived the entirety of human history without data centres. We can't survive more than a few days without clean drinking water.
