queer fox thingy making weird noises in your area creator of art, dinner, and poetry, among other things would eat pizza every day if enabled plural, butch lesbian, and in love. Any pronouns!

Here's a new one I created as a demonstration for The Broadmoor Galleries' "9th Annual Broadmoor Art Experience" a few weeks ago. The event is held at The Broadmoor Resort in Colorado Springs in July and includes artists from all over the country. "Just Chillin'," oil, 16"x12".

becoming a parent has turned out to be a great excuse to learn the entire alphabet. sometimes he’ll ask me what a letter is and i’m like well shit, bubba. let’s find out together

LRT I'm fairly sure activist leftists getting more argumentative, paranoid, and facing so much more bs now on Twatter is what made my last friend group turn sour. The person I had the falling out with was always on there n I know exactly how the spaces she was in functioned & turned toxic

i know i'm preaching to the choir on this site of all sites, but i really think young queer people being active on twitter should be considered a form of self-harm in the same way that we generally understand 4chan is bad for you. because twitter is basically 4chan at this point

No longer content with pillaging intellectual work and dismembering our environment (already critically weakened), AI companies are now hellbent on destroying books galore including rare editions. Shut down these nefarious enterprises already.

AI labs buy, scan, shred millions of rare books

If you have retreated to physical books because the internet is too full of AI slop, bad news — now they’re shredding the books to feed their AI slop machines.

Hey all, one of the furries I've known the longest (like.. almost 20 years?!) has been battling cancer and could really use some support to stay afloat. She's a tough fighter and deserves some relief after everything she's been through. Shares are really appreciated. Thank you 💞💞 gofund.me/36a834591

Dog rescue discourse makes me sooo fucking angry. Why does the aggressive demon who can't be around other animals or kids make you feel more sympathy + deserve more advocacy than a safe, healthy dog who actually passes a behavioral assessment

Who, exactly, longs for this. Who is the audience soaking sliced white bread in water and loudly insisting it’s a gourmet meal. I want to see sales numbers. I want a longitudinal survey of demographics and backgrounds. I want to study these people like bugs under the microscope of my disdain.

I really hate the “I don’t owe anyone anything” mentality because we actually owe each other and this planet a lot. You don’t have to be selfless all the time or burn yourself out but you should be kind and helpful and compassionate to the best of your ability. We need to care about each other more
