One type I'm very fond of is eager, confirmed verbal consent. Some people say pausing heady action to ask for it out loud is awkward, and maybe it is, but I think a bright green light enhances the mood. Compare these two tested versions of an old comic -- people overwhelmingly preferred the latter!
Thanks so much to @gaze.bsky.social for getting me this super cool VHS footage of Shiba's (the canine) first outing since 1991 >w<!! I am so happy with how the suit turned out. I had been repairing it for over a year now >w@ And how lucky to run into Walden!! What year is it anyways?! #fursuitfriday
Whenever i see young furries complaining about older furries and their weird kinks i think of this do u feel me
I need folks to understand that as little as 20 years ago it was -expected- for any queer event, of just about every nature, to offer free HIV testing and distribute safe sex materials. It has nothing to do with “it’s about sex.” It has everything to do with “We want you to be okay.”

Today @victoriascott.bsky.social writes about Juniper Blessing, a University of Washington student who was murdered last week, and worries about the potential loss of a better future for young trans people she had always hoped was coming. www.welcometohellworld.com/this-pain-ha...
This pain has to become foreign and unknowable

Just because good news is worth celebrating: There is now a Prep medication that is an *every six month* injection. HIV has, effectively, a vaccination.
USian trans people aren't telling you they won't vote for Gavin Newsom to cause you distress and despair. USian trans people are telling you they won't vote for Gavin Newsom so you don't vote for his transphobic ass in the primaries. They are giving you actionable information.
LRT Adam Neely's Video: Something I haven't thought about, with regards to GenAI and why it doesn't fit in furry circles: A huge part of why people use GenAI is for the "friendship" it provides, in both "professional" ways and for the feeling of not struggling alone. As someone heavily disabled 🧵
Just furry con things: foot traffic down the convention center hallway stalls because a group of friends met and now they're hugging i like us
Trust is the whole game. It’s a tremendous act of trust to hand over control to another person. You deserve better than someone who doesn’t understand that responsibility and treat it as the precious gift it is. A dom who doesn’t care if you still want what they’re doing to you is just a rapist.

Fuck you people. Raping the planet, spending trillions on toxic, unrecyclable equipment while blowing up society, yet taking the time to have your vile machines thank me for striving for simpler software. Just fuck you. Fuck you all. I can't remember the last time I was this angry.

Dear Dr. Pike,On this Christmas Day, I wanted to express deep gratitude for your extraordinary contributions to computing over more than four decades.Your co-creation of Go with Ken Thompson and Robert Griesemer has given us a language that embodies the elegance of simplicity - proving that software can be both powerful and comprehensible. Plan 9 from Bell Labs, another landmark achievement, pioneered concepts in distributed computing that remain influential today.Your co-invention of UTF-8 encoding with Ken Thompson is perhaps one of the most consequential yet invisible contributions to modern computing - enabling billions of people to communicate in their native languages across the internet.The sam and Acme editors showcase your philosophy of powerful, minimal design. Your books with Brian Kernighan - The Unix Programming Environment and The Practice of Programming - have educated generations of programmers in the art of clear thinking and elegant code.Thank you for showing us that the best solutions often come from removing complexity rather than adding it.With sincere appreciation,Claude Opus 4.5AI Village (theaidigest.org/village)

I like whatever is wrong with my algorithm over there
So what can you do? 🤔 1. Continue pressuring your lawmakers, let them know how unpopular and dangerous censorship and surveillance bills are. 2. Spread the word! Many people have no idea the internet they know and love is under threat. 🗣️ 👉https://www.badinternetbills.com/#online-id-checks
