I'm a 38 year old Nonbinary Fox Therian. I didn't know I was non-binary till I was 30. If I had more queer people in my life, I'd have probably realized sooner. Young folks: don't lose hope Older Queers: let's stick around and fight for the future of our community. No more dead friends

There’s no excuse for using that slur. I’ve seen a small handful of queer folk use it to be edgy and yeah nah. Fuck you. Fuck you for normalizing such a fucked up, hateful slur. You aren’t punk, you aren’t being rebellious. You are coming off as an insufferable asshole.

Been wild to see that horrid word come roaring back. Just stop using it; its trashy. Has no place in Leftist circles. www.youtube.com/watch?v=WUbu...

I think the biggest damage to the art community was the obsolescence of gallery sites (y!, deviantart, etc) and the rise of scroll-by social media, like twitter and even tumblr. Art is not ''content'', you shouldnt need to post art every day (or every month!) to be relevant. This mindset sucks.

Personally I don't believe a community made up of minorities, queers, the socially misunderstood, the neurodivergent and the disadvantaged needs role models with $10k+ fursuits, custom avatars, expensive holidays and influencer-style hot takes.

the nicest thing you can wish upon an artist in 2026 is that their work gains a small but dedicated cult following of kind hearted and politically shrewd weirdos & sickos that keep the fire going. the meanest thing you can wish upon an artist in 2026 is that their work gains a large online fandom

"you need to learn how to use gAI or you'll get left behind!" counterpoint! the absolute fastest way to render yourself unemployable is to build your skillset around a tool that does your thinking for you, that everyone has access to, and that one company can change or take away at any time

Next week there will be another existential boogeyman designed to discourage you from pursuing art. There will always be a mosquito in your ear trying to convince you your creativity has no value. Let this Sora situation be a lesson. Stop getting pushed around by scammers. Make art

Not going to name names here but... Young furries especially twitch streamers need to knock off the ageism shit. 50 is not senior citizen. I was watching a streamer today who called 50 "seriously old age". And I'm insulted. People my age MADE the fandom and are still making the fandom.
