Would anyone be interested in starring in my next fat fur ad? It would be another one along these lines. Drop refs below if interested.

Salvation Army seen feeding ICE today. For anyone who doesn't already know about their bigotry, here is more, No need to give them your money this Christmas, or ever.

It’s dinner time for the police. Appears to be pizza from a Salvation Army van.

Broadview’s “free speech” curfew starts soon, at 6pm.

In case you missed it, an extremely Catholic Thing happened at the ICE detention center in Chicago, and this thread is an excellent explanation of how important it was symbolically.

What Fr Dowling is doing here was not just "offering communion to detainees". A full on Eucharistic Procession is a really fucking big deal. In Catholic theological framing, those folks were the honor guard with the very great privilege of escorting Jesus himself to the detention center.

Ugh, I’m sorry, that’s awful. Fuck. This shit is insane!

I can’t stress enough how utterly embarrassing it is to see experienced artists suddenly use AI

I can never have a shred of respect for someone who used to be a peer & who decided to embrace something that’s the opposite of any craft & any human endeavour

The frogs are so good. I struggle with that a lot too tbh. There was a raid a few blocks away from my home last week, and another one at a library I worked at. A lot of these attacks are hitting so close to home and it ssssuuuucks

It's a hard fucking game though, good luck x3

I will say, if you can get the tacks from the Sinner's Road, and combine them with the poison effect of the pollip pouch, it is actually a pretty powerful tool combination that can help with bosses and enemies that run along the ground

That's why younger folk are such an easy target for this kind of slop. Not much money, not as secure, a little easier to influence. It might just be cheap shit at Hot Topic right now, but that won't always be the case.

The problem is they can go after young people who are desperate for mainstream approval, and use that to flood the market with low grade crap and price artists out of what they do. It's just basic bitch shit, sure, but if enough people buy, it starts to set the standard.

For the record I quite like your art and the personality you’re able to give your characters

Nyil @nyil.bsky.social · 1d

Be weird. Have fun with your kinks. Be accepting within reason. Support small creators. And when these corporate entities try to break into our space, show them the fucking door. You deserve better than the sterile slop they're peddling.

Keep furry weird.

This isn't about acceptance, it's about control. We're a fringe community because we practice radical acceptance. Peoples weirdness and eccentricities - as long as they don't harm other people - are what make our community so vibrant and wonderful.

You see this time and time again with different communities. Look at how Walmart and Amazon destroyed tons of small businesses because they couldn't keep up with their prices. Once they get their disgusting claws into the space, then they can control the narrative and what's acceptible.

The annoying thing about corporations trying to break into furry spaces is that like.. when corporations do this it's because they want to take control of the space so that they're the only ones who can sell things. They're corporations, they can afford to undercut small creators.

Shit, you’ve gotta be one of the bravest people I’ve seen to throw yourself into such brutal conditions in these war torn cities. I don’t know how anyone can survive through such violence and meager rations

Young furries, do not buy this repulsive slop

Support actual furry artists if you want silly furry merch, they're out there and they're happy to oblige, and you won't be feeding a machine looking to capitalize on your subculture

Corporate shitposting needed to be smothered in the crib, istg

Between this and the Spirit Halloween masks, it's amusing but also the nightmare of furry going mainstream. 💀

YEAH SERIOUSLY. Like what the fuck is "I want something more to life than this" - you want something more than a fucking utopia where you get free rent in this beautiful place, and all you have to do is give up your wish to... fly like Superman? I mean, shit, deal.

And this doesn't even bring up how Lin Manuel Miranda had to explain to the execs what an I Want song is, or how songwriters have to fight to have music relevant to the plot because they get left out of the writers room completely. The process is nuts!

Nyil @nyil.bsky.social · 1d

She's so obviously being pushed and pulled by the plot and not by any kind of motivation or problems. It's the same for Moana, and even Elsa/Ana. Elsa had flaws in the first one because Ana was supposed to be the marketable one - as soon as Elsa became popular... no more flaws, all sanded down!

Honestly I think Asha kinda is the culmination of the last few Disney princess movies. Their heroines aren't allowed to have any flaws to the point where they can't even experience problems that would give them character motivations. They're sanded so far down that there's no personality

The villain song was also just.. not great. Bad on its own, worse in context since it's just such a tonal heel turn from the preceding scene. It doesn't make him feel villainous at all!

Nyil @nyil.bsky.social · 1d

Also I think Chris Pine was the wrong voice for that role. He sounds so youthful and just like.. not regal or imposing. He does dashing okay, but the timbre of his voice just doesn't feel right for the character of Magnifico
