There is a well-worn path from "uwu no politics" to "how was I supposed to know they were bad?" The fandom we get depends on who and what we support. Folks who ignore the shitty people in their spaces don't realize how it pushes the cool people out of that space until only the shitty ones are left.

"UwU no pawatics" is how actual Nazis and the alt-right stay embedded in furry spaces, though. It's why you didn't know PeaceWolf's actual acts. It's why people are still giving money to Vivid Publishing or buying pooltoys from Horseplay. Intentionally not knowing makes you less safe.

Young teenagers are less likely to identify as lesbian, gay or bisexual than a few years ago, according to a new analysis. “It really does look like a free fall,” Jean Twenge, a professor of psychology, said. “But what’s causing it is unclear.”

Reach out to the people you love and tell them you care. Please. Woke up this morning to find out my cousin died in a car accident. The kid was younger than me, barely 30. Tell the people you love that they matter. Reach out, even if it sucks to do so. You never know when it'll be the last time.

Looks like the Democratic candidate for US Senate in South Carolina, Annie Andrews, is pro-sports bans and pro-surgery bans for youth, which include top surgery and which have even been interpreted to include blocker and hormone implants. She's the latest anti-trans dem.

It's incredible how her total capitulation on trans rights didn't stop this

What do I gain by speaking out against HearthFox? Nothing. Ridicule. They will continue to victim blame me. I could lose friends.

I like seeing the dev of the SNES core on the Pocket actually telling one of these dudes off. Holy shit.

Perfect time to retell the story about how HearthFox begged me to join their Telegram group. I told them several times that I have been shunned and pushed aside for being openly ABDL. They INSISTED it wouldn't be an issue.

They want to claim this was about a new rule regarding the way porn is supposed to be hidden behind a spoiler in a NSFW group they were running. No. They said any ABDL art was no longer allowed. This was their response when someone brought up how ridiculous they were being.

"JK Rowling is already a billionaire and everyone already knows about Harry Potter, what's the point of boycotting?" Nobody thinks boycotting will bankrupt her. We know she's gonna die rich. We're just asking you to show a shred of solidarity with trans folk. Absolute low bar bare minimum shit.

My advice to younger ABDLs: Dont be someones “secret friend”just because you may be comfortable about your kink & they may not be. If they cant interact with you in a public forum (like bsky) you’re wasting your time. Theyre bothered about their appearance over treating you like a friend

I was tempted to pirate HP, curiosity and all that. But @jessiegender.bsky.social is right - think of the amount of times HBO commented on GOT leaks and downloads, just as an example. They DO track these things, and even that drives interest. Let this show die. Trans people deserve better.

Artists should post their own work if they're proud of it, even if the guy who comm'd it already did, because otherwise it's basically invisible to a ton of the people who followed you for your work. Retweets aren't really a replacement in the short term, and definitely not in the long term.

You can and likely will become disabled. Every single person you love can and likely will become disabled. It can happen at any time: car wreck, step off the curb wrong, body stops handling flu well. You should care about how disabled people are treated. Now.

Andrew Gurza@andrewgurza6.bsky.social · 7d ago

disability rights (or the lack of them) will be your rights one day. and yes, I say this to absolutely scare you into thinking about disability. What rights will you want? Think about that.

I'm so tired of gender affirming care for youth being referred to as "mutilation" and yet the real mutilation, circumcision, isn't talked about.

To all furries following us. The stuff at FA is happening because this shit wasn't quashed when it was about sex work, or scat, on consensual non consent porn, or lolisho, or incest. *furry was always next in line and we'd been telling you as an ageplayer for ages*

Seeing how FA beat the advertisers in less than 48h vindicates the points I made in this post. We need sites run BY us FOR us, because expecting ad-fueled misery machines to do it will end in corroding the community we built and keep you from interacting with it.

✍🏻 New blog post! 📰 I've been trying to figure out for myself why I don't much care for social media anymore and wouldn't be sad if it disappeared completely. I've seen others express this sentiment as well. It could be the spark we need to take the web back. #SocialMedia #algorithms

Have you noticed, lately, or noticed people around you commenting, that there just seems to be no money anymore. There's no money for companies to make the tv shows you like, the video games you like, the local diner you like shut down, no one you know can find a job. Think about that in context of

AI is now the biggest investment in all of US history as a percentage of GDP. Datacenter construction is up, all other construction is down. "AI Is Squeezing Out the Rest of the Stock Market," reported WSJ 2 days ago. We basically bet the whole economy on the most optimistic visions panning out.

Just a reminder: Caretakers are people, too. I've heard way too many heartbreaking stories (and experienced a few myself) of Littles/subs who only treat caretakers as a source of ABDL attention, and outside of that don't acknowledge them at all.

There has never been a better time to buy an ad on FA Make a joke, extend your reach, find new friends. Buy an ad! Anyone can do it for any reason and it will help keep fur affinity BY FURRY, FOR FURRY FA is a relic of the old Internet, it's an endangered species. We need to keep it safe!

The best @furaffinity.net ad ever It made my day 💛

FA being told by advertisers that the most mundane of art is just too risqué to work with should be a good indicator why trying making your fandom squeaky clean to appease people, who will never be happy, is a shitty idea

In regard to FurAffinity being at risk due to censorship: Furries are now political targets. We are getting namedropped at high levels of government. They know that we are a large, influential, largely queer, community. Fighting for the spaces owned by our community is incredibly important

TLDR: Fur Affinity's advertising partners are demanding that they ban adult content. Sciggles and FA want to firmly tell them to go fuck themselves. If they're going to be able to afford to do that, they need the community's help. Pitch in. Keep furry weird. www.furaffinity.net/journal/1143...
