Hey, kids,

(kids in this case being literally anyone younger than I am, but especially anyone in that weird gap between 18 and ~25 where most world governments will acknowledge your personhood but your brain still hasn't reached its final form)

The world is shit right now. You know it, I know it, anyone really paying attention knows it. This can make *everything* just feel so much worse, from getting caught in traffic to stubbing your toe on furniture to new realizations about the lengths shitheads will go to hurt people.

Please try not to automatically assume that things will never get better, or that something someone said that hurt you was said with genuine malice.

With the latter? People make mistakes, and tone doesn't come across as intended sometimes - particularly if it was over text. Take context into account.

As for the former? Things can get better, they have historically gotten better, and I believe that they *will* get better so long as we're still screaming about how awful things are.

That said, I also believe that things *can't* get better if we just give up. Why? That's simple. Giving up is what the fascists and abusers of the world *want us to do,* because if we give up? They suddenly get everything they wanted without having to fight nearly as hard for it.

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.

After Flatpak, another major project has undergone a visual refresh -- Flathub. It gets a little more than a coat of fresh paint very soon. Thank you everyone involved!
