yay new profile fields! and other stuff that was in the 2.4.0 release that I forgot about!

@BatElite ...yes, yes it is

ox -> oxen
fox -> foxen

that's just how language works

the Furry Corner discord is apparently on the first page of google results for "lesbian furry discord"

SEO: we have it, somehow, no idea how that happened but it's pretty neat
