Alright, time to make the official announcement. In the next 10 days, I'll officially be running Boston's oldest queer bar, Jacque's Cabaret, as the general manager. Boston's got a secret underground furry bar now. So, ask me anything. Gimme your feedback. And let's make queer history together!

Thereโ€™s two kinds of prog rock: prog rock that makes you smart, and prog rock that makes you stupid. And you canโ€™t tell the difference until itโ€™s too late, and the polarities are reversing all the time

Vaguepost but maybe callout posts were never about helping the community and were always about airing out personal grudges with a speck of hope that the greater internet community will dogpile your chosen target with you.

I just donโ€™t get why were doing this shit to each other when conservatives are trying to ruin all our spaces. Those fuckers (conservatives) need to be dealt with all our anger and pettyness.

Right before he flipped out and made us pay for a Lyft from him, I asked him about the art and he flipped out about how pressuring him to do it will make him resent me and then the art won't come out right. So now he decided to resent me out of shame and embarrassment, but I must be understanding

I've given away thousands of dollars worth of stuff to people, because I do believe impoverished people deserve nice things. I'm not even that mad about it. I'm pretty mad over people being embarrassed that they can't pay me back, which is Orange Man's fault, but they cancel ME instead.

This is what living under serfdom is y'all, I'm not the 1% dividing the community. Stop going after me because I can't afford to also buy you a house. Instead I just open mine up to the community as a free 3rd space. But I have a security camera so I must be evil.

We talked sex-positively like most any other furry friends. He didn't mind calling me Mommy when he was asking for money. Or taking commissions he never followed through on. Then the money stopped, and here we are.

The last thing you said to us, as you got into the $150 Lyft we paid for, was "Don't worry, none of this is going on the internet".

Judah, a group of people hurt you last winter but it wasn't us. And I didn't know about it at the time, you're not to blame for that. I hope you make it out of the winter and remember the fall, some day. You don't deserve any more pain

Btw you "said your peace" and then continued in the same post. Btw I didn't sabotage another artist. Btw, I'm an artist that you called on every furry convention to stop booking because of lies you continue to tell.

The reason my guitar is so recognizable is because it's the only electric I've bought in 6 years, when I was 27. Before that, my only guitar was the one I got at 17. Cause I grew up poor and learned to appreciate the things I have, instead of being jealous of what others have. That includes love.

I said I'm addressing the lies. I came from nothing. I grew up in rural Pennsylvania, my dad worked retail and my mom was a second grade teacher. They got divorced when I was 15, they both found new partners and went to live with them so I got the house to myself, at least. What a privilege.

And this week I got slandered all over the internet and became a single-income household with a 6.2k monthly payment because while you may call it "owning a house" I just call it "being in 600k of debt to the bank"

Then some people tried to ruin me and my partner's life in 2024, then that guy got elected again and everyone started leaning into how we need to settle our differences and support each other, which would have been nice a couple months prior.

Then a year ago, I got laid off and decided to launch that solo project and start a music career, joined a 5-piece band, teach private lessons to kids, worked part time at the bar, ran another furry party, and have been clocking like 60 hours a weeks.

Decided not to go to grad school after my professor told me "My parents were dentists, so it was worth it for me" and use that IT experience. Figured as long as Bernie won, I could save enough money to pursue music in like a decade. I got my first job, laid off a year later, moved to Boston

Started a band, ran it for 8 years, a pandemic, like 13 different members, then a solo project, all while running furry meets and a convention with my partner, staffing a con, and climbing the IT ladder, living with a bunch of roommates to save up.

But that was actually really lucky for me, because I wasn't going to be able to go to college because my dad made too much money on paper for me to get FAFSA loans. So when that went to 0, I was able to get tuition all covered by those loans I'm still paying off.

Really wanted to go to Berklee, but I went to a pretty great state school for music composition and theory. Loans didn't cover expenses tho, so I got a job working IT for 25 hours a week on top of full time classes. Figured having some experience in tech might come handy.

I started working at 17 at KFC for $6.75/hr, but it was mostly for the free food. Luckily Bank of America let me open my own account at that age, since Dad kept taking my paycheck to "pay the bills", and that was before he lost his job. It was 2008, btw.
