regarding recent events (furaffinity owner death)
If you're wondering I feel about this, I'm more dreading the fact we may be on the brink of a fannish archival catastrophe the likes of which we have not seen ever in the furry fandom.
I can't stress this enough. That site is nearly 20 years old. The last known major archive/backup I can remember is nearly 10 years old at this point. Were it to die in the near future it would pretty much be the furry equivalent of the Library of Alexandria burning down. Say what you will, it would in my opinion be devastating to lose all of that; remember when Yahoo murdered GeoCities because it didn't make them enough money?
This is why I also need to stress BACK YOUR SHIT UP NOW. Anything to offset the damage the possible collapse of the site could do.
Irony-free transphobes now insist that a woman with a vagina is a man https://newsthump.com/2024/08/02/irony-free-transphobes-now-insist-that-a-woman-with-a-vagina-is-a-man/
I have paid zero attention to the olympics because fuck the IOC and the ritual driving-the-homeless-out-of-the-city that happens every games
but damn the dissonance of how the gendercrit weirdos will pick on cis women like caster semenya and now imane khelif as being "obviously men" and, like, I have definitely met cis lesbians who never dabbled in T that are way more masculine than these athletes
so, y'know, sure the pants police are definitely okay with gender non-conforming women and are also not homophobic at all
(okay and if people didn't know caster is a lesbian and that, along with racism, was absolutely part of why they literally invented new rules about serum T levels that only applied to races she was good at)
uspol, furries, kink, Elon Musk, the world is a joke
And since this is very likely to get taken down if/when Little Musky catches wind of it, here's some receipts for posterity.
A billionaire is someone who could lift thousands of families out of poverty without any noticeable impact on themselves, and has chosen not to.

A steam curator named "Woke Ccontent Detector" said the following about our game Kitsune Tails:
"Contains overtly pro-LGBT+ messaging. Features multiple lesbian characters, including the player character. Features lesbian romance."
It's great when a person really understands what we're going for and I thought it was a lovely review and wish more people could read it, even if they did not recommend the game! :wink:
BREAKING!
The Antifa Turtle on #Twitter shared a Twitter API okta leak that shows there is a list of "protected accounts", all of them right wing, who are allowed to break #X Terms Of Services without consequence and includes a list of whitelisted slurs they are allowed to use.
The whistle-blowing Twitter account was suspended by mods shortly after.

Too funny: In 2010 McAffe caused a global IT meltdown due to a faulty update. CTO at this time was George Kurtz. Now he is CEO of #crowdstrike

Please boost.
So stuck in a negative feedback loop with things.
Shingles causes lack of sleep, which makes my pain worse, which then means I don't sleep well, and so on...
Having to start actually planning things so I don't have to drive when I don't need to, which includes probably changing venue for my anniversary/wife's birthday.
There is a pro-transgender Labour revolt against health secretary Wes Streeting. You can sign the letter.

EU says Elon Musk’s paid “verification” deceives X users, threatens big fines
Paid checkmarks deceive users and violate Digital Services Act, EU says.
@osnews This is at the bottom of the GitHub page for Ladybird. If you've been online in programming circles for about 23 seconds total, you know *exactly* what kind of dog whistle this is.
Pretty clear they only want white males contributing.
