1/4 What's not being said? Hearing from thousands of Furries about their experiences in the Fandom, I heard so many amazing and incredible stories that shaped my understanding of our subcultures. Take, for instance, the person who liked vore because he (deliberately) wasn't hugged as a child.

1/3 Ron's Gone Wrong explains so many problems with social media: the need of validation from others, esteem linked to popularity, manipulation of the public, promotion of harassment and bullying, and lack of recourse. These aren't just social media problems, these are social problems period.

As bad as things can seem to be, we do live in a world where you can buy 7.5 pounds of chocolate syrup. I'm not sure who will do this, but I hope they're having an awesome time!

1/5 People need to be aware: Russian anti-LGBTQ policies label online activities in favor of anything LGBTQ as a criminal offense in their country. If you have Russian LGBTQ friends, reporting anything to their police can easily escalate to criminal prosecution.

Russia: Russian LGBT Network is labelled “extremist” in escalating crackdown on LGBTI rights

The designation of the Russian LGBT Network and other organizations as ‘extremist’ are links in the same chain of persecution and injustice by the Russian authorities against LGBTI people

There are stories people haven't heard, people shut out from learning in order to maintain their myopic assumptions and stubbornness. Don't be like those people. Seek and value education, especially when people fight so hard to get it to you. This is how we heal the world.

Do you miss what you thought you were Back when you thought you knew what you are

1/3 I heard from some LGBTQ people and organizations that the only way to make change is to be loud and inconvenient. While "respectability politics" don't work, I like to think that respect and honesty does. Hostility won't convince people: they need a desire to hear you, first.

Niu Lai, a Chinese film made by a mother and son duo over 5 years, an absurd low-budget film, is resonating with moviegoers. Audiences understand it's poorly made, but in an age of perfect CG and AI and gleaming marketing teams, the absurdity of this film brought everyone together for a good laugh!

THE WORST ANIMATION EVER IS BEATING AI

It's actually surprisingly easy to set up Blender to render what you need in Eevee, then in a video editing project add post-processing/color grading in compositor or strip modifier, then export to AV1. The things Blender can do out of the box never ceases to amaze me.

Be the reason someone smiles today!

Megaplex 2026 no Pix! 1/3 Amid all the awesome events and what lead up to this amazing convention, I was made aware of people who hated Furries trying to cause trouble for the con and others. It happens. Some people get so wrapped up in hatred and drama they can't see a world existing beyond it.

Megaplex 2026 Pix! After closing ceremonies, Furry Idol winners @frozenshep.bsky.social and (I forgot their name! Please tag if you know) opening the last night of Furaoke! I sang "Thank You For The Music" by ABBA. I'll practice and get better at it, but the lyrics were what I felt in the moment!

Megaplex 2026... no Pix! 1/3 Closing ceremonies announced 12,542 attendees this year. Next year will be held in the Orange County Convention Center! Since 2021 I've seen this con's attendance quadruple. Megaplex cemented itself as the 4th largest Furry con in the world, and one of the best ever!

Megaplex 2026 Pix! While in line at closing ceremonies, I made friends with someone who'd never taken a single picture the whole con. I told him after closing ceremonies he needed to find a suiter to take a picture, as a token of the memory! Here it is! If you know the suiter, please tag them!

Megaplex 2026 Pix! One of my roomies at the con being a goof! He loves cuddles!

Megaplex 2026 Pix! I got the chance to meet my friend @shyplatypi.bsky.social ! We hung out for a bit at the con and visited the con store! This is a good photo taken by a kind attendee... scroll down for the outtake.

Megaplex 2026 Pix! What is this, a crossover episode? Mr. Peanutbutter came to Orlando! I'm so lucky to get a picture with him! I really hope more people get the opportunity to meet their favorite characters. Did you know he's actually the face of depression? Bojack Horseman fans will get it!

Megaplex 2026 Pix! Sticker and pin trading was absolutely everywhere! There was a panel for sticker trading, but many people showcased their collections all over the con! I traded stickers of Tyler. A lot of people really loved him as a fox!

Megaplex 2026 Pix! I was so grateful to meet a real pillar of the community. @marcimcadam.bsky.social has been drawing art for the babyfur community for over 3 decades at Furry cons! Her art is quite adorable and exceptional! You'll see her art in the Virtual Furry Museum sometime soon!

Megaplex 2026 Pix! The Pooltoy Vibe Lounge was spectacular! It was a really chill, lax hangout space, filled with balloons, inflatables, and gentle lighting. I wish there were more spaces with lighting like this that didn't flashbang you. That'd be cool! Oh, no shoes allowed, either 😉

Megaplex 2026 Pix! I attended a pawmeet here at Megaplex. These 16 lovely beans stayed behind for a fun photo! @milo-kiyoshi.bsky.social , thanks for hosting this meet! It was a lot of fun! Wish I got steppies!
