What the Fur!? Stories and Text from the Furry Fandom (Complete)
YouTube video by Chris Williams (Sparf)

The furry fandom is going to become a lifeline and anchor for so many people. A place where they can still be themselves, safely.
This show I wrote for my master’s thesis in 2012 is probably a little saccharine, but maybe it will bring someone a needed boost.

RE starbucks picket line--the relevant detail is "picket line, do not cross." Pass that along. Proclaiming that you are in no danger of doing so because you are too aesthetically pure to let Starbucks coffee pass your lips is...unhelpful and does not give the impression you perhaps imagine it does.

Also I got to explain that Lake Superior really doesn’t give up her dead and that divers found the Edmund Fitzgerald some years ago, bodies intact—one was found outside the wreck—and is now an officially protected grave.

Oh hey suddenly remembering that time I was all giddy about a side character Kyell Gold put in an Argaea book referencing a fictional detective and gushing to him about it before being corrected that it was a reference to a different fictional detective I’d never heard of. With the same name.

I’m not even mad at The Democrats™️ right now.
I’m furious at the SPECIFIC list of names including Kaine (who proves every day his shitbaggery) and Fetterman, who has consistently betrayed the people who elected him, among the others.
Those senators aren’t touchable in midterms.
But they will be

Heads up for folx playing Arc Raiders: Embark has openly stated (in an interview with GamesRadar+), that the game uses the same AI voice tech as The Finals, and the CEO has talked about using AI to generate 3D models from YouTube rips.
If you're anti-AI you should not be playing Arc Raiders!

Not to be the fun police but I do hope people know that Arc Raiders does use generative AI for voice acting, and by supporting the game you're letting higher-ups know that this is an okay practice.
They try to downplay this on the Steam store page by describing the AI usage as vaguely as possible.

Mastercard's new policy unfairly targets the adult content industry, making sex workers more vulnerable, especially Black trans women. It must be stopped.

"Store employees are now required to smile if they are within 10 feet of a shopper.
They also must make eye contact with and wave to or greet the customer.
If they’re within four feet, the employee should ask how the customer’s day is going or if they need help."
🙄 Won't stop the boycott, y'all.

Spotify is crashing HARD because of the boycott. Their stock dropped 11% in value over the last month. Let’s keep this going!
Tell everyone you know to boycott Spotify. There are plenty of alternatives that don’t run ICE advertisements and screw over artists.

Can I get a "Fuck No!" everybody?! Same. So tired of them forcing AI down our throats as if it's a replacement for the human experience. Ya wanna look for patterns in gigs of data! Go for it, but leave living to humans. Fucking tired of this shit.
Good literary translation requires understanding (language, culture, genre--on both sides of the translation) and an ability to write well. "AI" can't do that. There are no shortcuts. Treat your work and foreign language readers with the respect they deserve. You won't fool anyone with this.

This needs more attention: Zohran SPLIT the straights with Cuomo. ALL of his margin was from LGBTQ+ voters. Every Dem who ever said “we should abandon the transes” needs this shoved down their fucking throat with a ramrod.
