Dear furries and the furry-adjacent,

This is your periodic reminder that the artist Ken Sample - also known as Ken Cougr - is widely credited as having invented the very concept of a fursona, and that he is a Black man.

This is also your periodic reminder that non-heterosexual, non-cisgender people have been a significant part of the furry fandom for as long as the fandom has had a coherent name for itself, and that the fandom has a long and brilliant history of trans people finding themselves through the exploration of self the furry fandom offers. Mockery of the furry fandom, therefore, is very frequently used as a cover for the hateful assholes of the world to harass LGBTQIA+ people - "furry isn't a protected class" being the most commonly-claimed justification.

Nazi furs fuck off.

We report: distant clouds are catching the sunshine in its last rays. Lately, the days have grown to be so much longer at both ends. This morning, our bedroom was bathed in grey light long before we needed to get up, and now, though it is late, the sun clings to the horizon.

increasing the goal by $20 because i am just so tired of having to whittle down grocery orders with atomic precision all the time, a bit of breathing room would be nice

Picodex has finally been released! If you haven't been following my sporadic posts, this is a complete gen 1 battle simulator in PICO-8, that fits within the 32KB constraint of the fantasy console.

Play it on lexaloffle: https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=52388
Or play it on itch: https://alanxoc3.itch.io/picodex

Szczecin graffiti is something

yay! today i finished modeling and animating the first monster that confronts you.
it moves kind of randomly and it has this beautiful static shader so it looks like it crawled out of a broken TV. i'm nicknaming it STATICMAN.
it mocks your desire to be free & you have to argue with it so it lets you go on...

if you're a low income furry like me, and you start feeling bad about not having much art

always remember that art aquisition is dependent on income and luck, its not a validity or social thing

people who get/have a lot of art either have a lot more disposable income and/or have an arist or two in the polycule

you and your OCs are valid, reguardless of how much representation you/they get <3

got bored and had access to the Pokemon Black and White soundfont
