My hobby: saying #transitiongoals as a response to images of monsters and especially monster girls.
Hypothesis: platforms whither and die when they no longer feel like places we can safely be emotionally honest. We stop posting about the actually unique and compelling parts of our lives. The vacuum is then filled with sanitized selves and performative politics, which ultimately isn't nourishing.
I definitely feel like this is a lot of what's happened to fb and increasingly to birdsite, anyway.
So let's be open and kind to each other here, okay?
consent
Irregular reminder:
The majority of the time respecting consent is really easy, but where is matters most is the infrequent times where it's hard.
95+ percent of the time, it's pretty easy to accept a no and back off. Sometimes though you'll *really* want to do something. That's when it's hardest to not be pushy, back off, and let things go. But if you don't respect consent when it's hard to do so, the 95% of the time when it's easy hardly matters.
Okay, in fairness I am now Rather Wet and wish I had a change of pants handy. The rain intensified!

Awoofriends- we have a Patreon if you want to support our staff!
The money goes to me, which I
then distribute to our staff when payments hit. I have very good full-time employment and do not take any money for myself.
Currently we've only paid @kyra for her art, and we commission her at least once a month on top of that!
She's very busy, but her next piece will be a drawing of the story that won the competition to name @awoofriend.
How hard would it be to make a fursuit with luminous fiber optic strands woven though the fur? :D

I'm a leftist trans gay fox girl. More than one thing can be true at a time. I believe in agency, subjectivity, and beauty.
In my day job, I'm an apprentice electrician.
