I'm glad they're doing this, it'll become almost impossible to create a billionaire-run pedophile ring with hundreds of exploited children

Anas Sarwar, 2025: Mandelson is an old friend of mine.
Anas Sarwar, 2026: Get rid of Keir Starmer! He should have known better than to hang around with scum like Mandelson!

Labour is corrupt to a man. Get them gone.

Hey Bluesky! Do you want to help a trans woman move to a safe place so she can be with her loved ones? Boy do I have an opportunity for you!

I continue raising money to cover all the immigration expenses (and there's a lot of them)

Donations and reposts are appreciated 💙

An image of clouds and a rainbow superimposed on top is an image of the trans flag and a golden retriever puppy. Bridget from guilty gear is also edited in to the image. Text reads "Deposit a trans person $100 and tomorrow something incredible will happen to you. Don't miss this opportunity.".

Our latest zine, Therionyms & Therioilleism is done! Hope everyone who received physical copies at furswap enjoys <3

Therionyms & Therioilleism
a zine about animal identity by hale (but you can call us wolves)

Are you an animal? Do you think of yourself as a creature? Do you call yourself a beast?

Names have two aspects: external identifiers which are used by others and internal identifiers which you use to refer to yourself. Congurency between the two - when others think of you in the same way you think of yourself - is empowering.

Wolf, coyote, tiger, elk, fox, doe. Do any of these words >feel< like you?
Do your ears prick up when you hear them spoken?

(Yes, we can see your ears)

You are already accepting an animal name as your own. A therionym.

Ask the critters around you to call you by your animal name. Feel acknowledgem-ent spread over your pelt like warm sunlight. You are being Seen. Through this, and every moment just like this your true nature is being Observed.
Likewise, by using your packmember's therionyms you hypostatize their animal forms.
A feedback loop will grow between you.

This is a kind of power even humans take notice of. The invisible threads of our reality, our context, are made plainly audible.

It is up to you whether your therionym is a nick-name, a parallel truename, or even becomes part of a legal name.

On homonyms (same-names):

It is quite likely your pack has more than one member of the same species and you will suffer therionym collisions. Names, historically have always collided. Before

IOC, you can have this idea for free on the condition that you stop shitting on trans and intersex people and cosying up to fascists

I know we have biathlon, nordic combined and alpine combined, but we need a proper winter decathlon equivalent that really tests versatility. Have the same person do slalom, cross-country, speed skating, luge, ski jumping, and maybe a hockey penalty shootout where they take turns being the goalie

I'd put figure skating or freestyle skiing/snowboarding in there, but that means some bullshit by the judges could overturn the entire competition. I take the integrity of my multi-event hodgepodges very seriously, I'll have you know

Digital Villainy Summit

@d-v-s.online

Take your protein pills and put your helmets on, villains! DVS is officially launching to space August 27th through 30th!

A horizontal rectangular poster showing DVS's two mascots, the arctic fox Devi and skunk Davis dressed in dark grey jumpsuits with pink highlights, posing like secret agents as Devi steps on a bound up lion in an official-looking jumpsuit, implying they're a government agent. They are on a space station and in the background, through windows, is a panoramic view of an Earth-like planet and the stars. To the right of the mascots is text that reads, "DVS8. SPIES and SUPER SCIENCE of the SPACE AGE. "Devi-Davis-Kitten" (Kitten being the name of the bound lion in the picture.) The official date of the convention is at the bottom, reading "August 27-30, 2026." To the left of the mascots are icons of platforms that DVS8 is being hosted on, including Discord, VR Chat, and Resonite.

BlueSky is a Gay Bar covered in trans flags that hosts a fursuit dance competition every Friday that a bunch of cishet upper middle class neoliberal democrats have decided to start hosting their book club at with the same reverence for queerness that Peggy Hill has for Mexicans.
