@pawnshopheart furry culture is, at its core, an appreciation for the non-human animal, and the fact that i happen to have an icon of an avian alien character with humanoid levels of sentience does NOT make me a furry. :c
i use his species to explore the nature of humanity as an expansion of "memento bestie," which would make me something like an anti-furry...? i guess?
still not a furry though D':
So you know why social networks started curating timelines? Because as soon as the network gets too big, any timeline becomes a firehose and you start missing out on stuff.
This reminds me again of #IRC chat rooms. Those too are firehoses, and worse, you have to be online to drink from them. And I just realised,, I like this fine.
So I'm starting to think that I should lose my #FearOfMissingOut with Masto and just enjoy the ride. The good stuff will get boosted anyway so I'll end up seeing it.
I am only a man sitting and thinking and a poor student; but if you were to ask me for a prescription to fix this, I’d say:
Reach out to your friends, one-on-one. Let them know you care about them and they’re important to you. Their public selves may be well-connected, but their private selves may be an island starved of the real, deep connections they need to thrive.
It’s a big leap. But the rewards are so worth it.
@pawnshopheart i'm right here (no need to vague) and i *told* you i'm not a furry :'<
(but even if this isn't about me, i'm still not a furry.)

I’m a front-end web developer, birdkeeper, rainforest bastard, and a former student of vertebrate paleontology (cretaceous theropod specialty) just trying to get along in this cruel world of furry-wigged titty sparkledogs.
