Are you doing it for public safety, or is it just for clout?

This is probably the Twitter Thread that made me microfamous. It went so much further than I ever expected and has reached bizarre corners of the world. However, looking back on it, the writing was so...

Explicit may simply imply erotica whilst Graphic might imply gore. Fer might not be able to see it even with an @ if he has that category blocked.

Patrick Quin @patrickquin.bsky.social · 4d

Misunderstood “Graphic Media” to be a superset of “Explicit Media.” Strongly considering deleting and reposting with the correct label.

furry.engineer/@PatrickQuin... e621.net/posts/5889881 finally got around to re-uploading some gift art by @feretta.net. Latest one is of me and @dannytiger.bsky.social, and is the first ever drawing of me doing anything sexual. Two others from prior years are in the mastodon link with descriptions.

A seated anthro tiger, Daniel Felidea, receiving a handjob from a seated anthro cougar my OC Patrick Quin, heads leaning into one another - Daniel is quite a bit taller, and Daniel's arm around my shoulder, hand resting on my chest, with Daniel's other hand on my chin.

IMPORTANTE:
If anyone knows of a decent room or small apartment for rent for a reasonable price (600 max) in the greater Ontario area, I'd appreciate a heads up. And no, this is not for me.

The renter is housebroken, loyal, well behaved, and pays his rent on time. Gets along well with other pets.

It is now official, anyone who says "LGB without the T" is a confirmed fed and should be treated accordingly.

U.S. intelligence has removed "T" from "LGBT" in their reports - including those intended to warn of threats to the community.

We need a bit more than this to cover 3 rents. Depending on what I hear from immediate family, needs may go up. Checking in with friend about her upcoming needs other than rent as well.

Please support the folks fascism is trying to crush:

Furries are very vocal about freedom of expression, they're also very community-oriented people that value sexuality, connection and friendship, and have openly rejected genAI from the very start

Furries are against bsky's moderation stance because they're too smart, sexy and cool not to be

so the Economist article isn't attributed an author. but someone in the replies of this 🧵 tipped me off that it was Jəsse Singal. & it turns out that it was, which in retrospect isn't surprising (as he's one of the ppl who would never answer this question):

Julia Serano @juliaserano.bsky.social · 20d

many ppl highlighting flaws in this article. but having fought in the "80% desistance" wars of the mid-2010s, I remember asking anti-trans activists if they'd be ok if 80% of youth were helped by gender-affirming care (flipping their argument). & they *never* answered. b/c they want *zero* trans ppl

screenshot of a The Economist post that reads: "A recent study found that children who transitioned young retained stable gender identities over time. But the fact that nearly a fifth of those in the group did not ought to give advocates of irreversible medical interventions pause". the byline of the linked to article says "a study finds that one in five who switch gender change their mind"

to restate for the audience in the back:

the difference between binary and nonbinary is the difference between soup and stew. either way you call it, it's still not a fucking sandwich.

Katelyn Boo-urns @katelynburns.com · 20d

Only 1 person in the whole study went from identifying as trans to not identifying as trans. The 1/5 number came from youth going between the binary and non-binary spectrum.

This headline and post are misleading on purpose to fit the economist's editorial bent on the political issue.

Autism does not need to be cured! It's the rest of society that needs to be more accommodating!! Neurodivergence and disabilities cause suffering only because we have so little understanding or support. Treating it as something "broken" or "wrong" only enforces that, please just help people instead.

Ok... so on one hand, fuck ABC7 Virginia for the framing of this question.

On the other, Abigail Spanberger is really blowing this with her refusal to state clearly her support for trans Virginians.

Just a reminder before the “big announcement” today.

Autism was discovered in 1911 and the modern definition of Autism came in 1943.

Tylenol wasn’t widely used until the 1950s.

Anyone trying to tell you that Tylenol causes Autism isn’t someone that should be taken seriously.

You art is powerful and inspires many. It might never please everybody, even so, don't be stopped, don't be censored.

Post and post and post, I want to see all creativity here.

I strongly oppose NSFW artists constantly being thrown under the bus cause they don't make sites look appealing for kids/shareholders or whoever else. Some of the most skilled artists I've seen create NSFW artwork and it IS art. -
