Thread of cosplay pics from our recent roadtrip from Los Angeles to Chicago (with many weird diversions along the way). I’ll share 4 pics every day till 2025 ends.
#NossSaga #Cosplay
Cosplaying as Lago from the Noss Saga with a gray cloak being all broody and mysterious in front of sharp pinnacles of rock. Cosplaying by standing on an icy rock on a nearly frozen lakeshore, with icicles draping over dead trees. Standing on a landscape of dry grass and snow while watching a majestic sunset of burning orange clouds. Posing with the new dagger, framed in a curved shape of sedimentary rock that rises from red sand.

To everyone loving Heated Rivalry, let me introduce you to @kyellgold.com's OG gay sports romance: an American-football-playing tiger and his on-again/off-again activist fox boyfriend. Two steamy, competitive alpha males who know exactly how good make-up sex can be. 🐯🦊🏈🔥

#Furry #FurryLit #BookSky
Cover art from Out of Position: an anthropomorphic tiger in American football gear carries a lithe fox draped over his shoulder. The fox wears a gray T-shirt and holds a football. They lock eyes with a charged, intimate look, suggesting tension and attraction.

BOOK REVIEW NUMBER 1 IF YOU CARE: I did my new year goals yesterday and decided I was going to try and read 20 books for this year, so I thought hey, why not do a little review for each book I read. First on the chopping block!

Happy New Year! This week kicks off with Kyell’s monthly Dispatch newsletter, which includes updates and highlights many of the exciting things coming up over the next month or so. We also wrap up the Squeak Thief audiobook this week. We hope you’ve enjoyed the ride. For Copper and higher members, the serialized audiobook will remain available to stream through the end of February. By the end of the week, both the ebook and audiobook editions will also be available for purchase. Looking ahead, the next audiobook to begin serialization next week will be the classic Dude, Where’s My Fox?, followed by the new release of Dude, Where’s My Pack?, assuming post-production stays on track. In the meantime, this week we’ll be sharing a fairy tale pulled from Kyell’s novel The Price of Thorns. We’re excited to share this short piece and expect to offer more like it as production continues on The Price of Thorns audiobook, which is slated for release later this year. Finally, the next chapter of the Fast Breaks serialized novel will go out on Saturday the 10th. There will be no writing stream this week. Mon. 1/5 – Newsletter: January 2026 Dispatch Tue. 1/6 – Serialized Audiobook: Squeak Thief ("Epilogue") — Copper+ Wed. 1/7 – Serialized Novel: Monster Huggers (Part 28) — Text+ Thu. 1/8 – Content Free Day Fri. 1/9 – Serialized Fairy Tale: The Story of Clever Jorl (from The Price of Thorns) — Copper+ Sat. 1/10 – Serialized Novel: Fast Breaks (Part 21) — Copper+ As we head into 2026, we’re grateful to have you along for the journey and excited to share all the projects we have lined up for the year ahead.

It took me until Christmas season to realize that Belfort’s sisters “Tane et Ponne” are a sort of spoonerism for Panettone. Anyway Merry Christmas if you celebrate! Happy peaceful Thursday to all!

🦋 Welcome to Buesky! 🦋
It's long past time to leave the Nazi bar, and you'll have a much better time here. I updated this guide due to the influx of users fleeing Grok's new AI bullshit. Share widely for all the newcomers!
Tips: moving from Xitter to Bsky Before you start following people, fill out your profile! Bio, PFP, banner, and post at least 5 to 10 things. Just reuse your top 10 banger tweets—recycling is encouraged! This way, people will know you aren’t a bot, will see what you are about, and might follow back. Turn off NSFW filters in Settings > Moderation > Enable Adult Contentand at the bottom on Settings > Moderation > Bluesky Mod Service Find your friends from the hellsite using Sky-Follower-Bridge.devNot perfect, but it will find the majority of the people you were following.Beware of fake tools that ask for money! Follow a few feeds related to your interests. In bsky you choose what kind of content you want to see. You can pin feeds (into tabs) to the top of your timeline, and you always have access to the Following feed which shows nothing but who you choose to follow. Block often. Don’t interact with trolls. Don’t quote dunk, comment, nothing. Let them rot in silence, take away their oxygen and they’ll asphixiate. This is the Bsky way. Turn off language filters in Settings > Languages > Content Languages Or you won’t see posts from anyone in Japan, Germany, etc, in your feeds, even if they only post a cool image with no text. Weird, but trust me on this one. Uncheck all to see all posts. Fuck content scrapers. Do not let that trash overwhelm this site, do not share their stolen content. You can block them all with two clicks by going to joabaldwin.com/scrapers and on the top-right clicking on Subscribe > Block Accounts (I know, “Subscribe” is an odd thing to name it, but that’s how block lists work). Use alt text to make images accessible. Helps for translations, readability, findability, and users with slow internet. Turn on Settings > Accessibility > Require alt text before posting It takes time to rebuild, but the best time to do it is right now. Use your last tweets to tell everyone to move, then stop posting. Twitter is a Nazi/AI/bot/crypto cesspit.

The Furry Writers’ Guild’s Cóyotl Awards do not allow nomination of works made, in whole or in part, using genAI/LLMs.
sfwa.org Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers Association @sfwa.org · 24d
Another Nebula Awards nomination cycle is in full swing, and the addition of poetry and comics, along with the presence of LLMs in industry, required careful consideration.

Read on, and vote well!

We trust our voters & look forward to what they choose to celebrate.
