Really nice article in the student newspaper at the University of Michigan about the fandom. Kudos to the reporter, who kept an open mind. Articles like this give me hope! :)

I immersed myself in furry culture. You don't understand them.

For the last three weeks, I have been immersing myself in furry culture. I’ve gone to meetings. I’ve learned about fursonas.

Chicago priest Fr. Larry Dowling describes procession to ICE facility: “No one had the courage to speak directly to us. No one from Homeland Security could stand in the presence of the Monstrance holding the Blessed Sacrament. No wonder. Evil is repelled, recoils in the presence of Christ.”

"Well Bob, your employees REALLY stood by you. They pointed out to the board that..."

*Random elderly patient walks by* "Hi!"

"...Well you run a tight ship. And actually, we'd like you to stay on."

I actually do worry about technology completely taking over cars and this is part of the reason.

The other part is the idea that someone can turn off a car I own without my permission.

God damn, watching John Cena bust out finishers of his greatest opponents to beat AJ Styles reminds me of the last time we saw Tommy Oliver in an episode of Power Rangers.

If youre in the UK and havent signed this petition, please do despite their response here. At 100k sigs they have to discuss it again

Petitions arent a silver bullet on their own, but they help communicate how many people do/dont support something. Its low commitment and worth doing!

UK Gouvernment: Payment Processors Can Ban NSFW Content
According to the UK treasury, payment processors are in the right and the gouvernment has no plans to step in. This puts it in direct contrast to what artists and the UK games industry have asked for.

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have discovered a powerful antibody, known as 04_A06, that is able to neutralize 98.5% of MORE THAN 300 different HIV strains AND permanently reduce HIV viral load to undetectable levels, making it one of the broadest-acting antibodies against HIV identified to date.

Who's next to become the big Akita ?

Been super busy at ACFI but looks like today and tomorrow should be easy. Who's here and wants to hang out ? Brought Aspen and a few others things to bounce around in.

i think it is fair to request a statement from @jay.bsky.team on TRANS PEOPLE and where we fit in on @bsky.app.

i think as a transgender journalist, it's acceptable and makes sense for me to ask this

and so, the question, am i not a person as a trans girl and do i not deserve to feel safe here?

So btw, who wants to watch a video about how Herpes is actually not as bad as people say it is?

Thanks to years of scaremongering, even people who've had herpes since birth have been stigmatized over something that's not a huge deal unless you're immuno-compromised or pregnant.

It's also, they say 'Keep furry weird', then they get upset about Babyfurs. Like. Do you want weird, or don't you?
