ICE agents simply aren't human, they're rabid animals given weapons and authority

ICE secretly kidnap autistic boy during bathroom break—never notify parents.

Mother reported him missing a week ago—turns out ICE had him detained the whole time.

He was helping sell fruit and asked to go to the restroom—by the time she was done helping a customer he was gone.

Don't any of you start yelling at the ANE social media account if you didn't get a room. Remember, there is another furry just like you on the other side of that bluesky account.

One of my favorite parts of TikTok these days are all of the ballet dancers being goofy in their Nutcracker costumes, bc when else do you get to dress up like an incredibly fabulous dapper rat

...I wonder if there's a furry artist that could do justice to a Smudge headshot in the style of the Demon Days album cover

maybe even a tattoo idea?

cat squasher-downer @smudged.bsky.social · 17d

I don't know why but this one bar from MF DOOM on November Has Come

(baha) Can you dig it like a spigot / My guess is yes you can like, can I kick it? Wicked

one of my favorite hip-hop lyrics of all time and I won't elaborate further

totally missed that Demon Days turned 20 earlier this year! If there's any singular music album in existence that I'd say is the definition of a "perfect 10" front-to-back, no question it's Demon Days.

there's no other album I've returned to more, and yet it can still make me so emotional.

I'm still really happy that the layout I made for the first time last year was received so well, even with the inevitable issues that popped up!

been working on improving the ANE vendor hall layout in preparation for 2026 and ngl trying to add as many more tables as possible feels a bit like rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic when I remind myself of the sheer number of applicants :T
