One of my professors in college told me to never sell back or throw out a phone - because they're gonna be worth a lot in materials. Then all of a sudden those stupid phone buying kiosks popped up and carriers wanted your POS old phone back ...hmm. Still have my TMobile Sidekick, just sayin'

My Lost Canadian paperwork got lost (ironically) so we resent it out, this time with Taren's! This time we marked it urgent (which we were suppose to do last time :/) and also got a tracking number. ๐Ÿคž

Chinaโ€™s first AI-generated theatrical feature has flopped, earning just $181,000 in its first weekend. By contrast, the scrappy โ€˜Niu Laiโ€™ turned its crude animation into a viral attraction, grossing nearly $10 million a couple of months ago. www.cartoonbrew.com/box-office-r...

I'm serious. They have a severe overpopulation problem at that shelter and the dogs there need homes or they will be euthanized for space. They can adopt out of state, but if you see you a dog you like you have to act fast to set up a transport! I can help you get in touch with the right people!

My mother was an activist. It's because of her that I've been in the fight for reproductive freedom my entire life. As governor, I was proud to enshrine reproductive rights into state law. Illinois will remain a beacon of freedom for women.

The Madness of King Scar. This feels like such a Halloween reshare, my favorite villain song and in perfect color scheme. #skulldogart #lionking #furryart

Yesterday, Josh Turek released one of the worst anti-transgender ads to come from a Democrat this election cycle. It called for a federal funding ban on gender affirming care, which would impact countless trans Americans. Here is our article on the ad you have all undoubtedly seen by now.

There are approximately 4-5 million folk in the transgender community in America, the Democrat party lost over 6 million voters between the 2020 election and 2024 election. A lot of folk within that community vote like their lives depend on it and when Democrats run on a platform of transphobia...

E621 was just a stolen art gallery to begin with and normalized people reposting art without the artist's consent. Of course they were gonna feed the entire database into ai and spit it back out into another site. ๐Ÿ™„

Or cons still allowing Bad Dragon even though they have a litany of offenses against people in this fandom their employees. And the fact that their owners also own e621 which has an AI alternative, e6ai, which host AI made from stolen furry art.

Watching people glaze SonicFox for being against GenAI (when that's the lowest stakes stance for a queer furry to take) is a lil funny But then I remember seeing furries in line at Chic Fil A whenever I go to FWA I guess take the W's you can?

This poem perfectly describes how I was treated at Bad Dragon when it came to sexual, psychological, and ableist abuse. Years later I'm still being treated poorly. I asked not to be sat by them at MFF and was just flat out denied a table which is causing me to lose 1/5 of my income this year.

I still have this big black binder full of emails, lawyer communication, and EEOC filings and I can't even even look through it without getting absolutely sick to my stomach.

I never asked MFF for BD not to be there. I just asked not to be sat by then again, which was done to me last year. Why was their solution to allow the abusers and decline their victim?

Lycantasy is a small, local to the con, trans owned business with good standing in the fandom. BD is a decamillion dollar a year conglomerate with a long history of abuse in the fandom. I still can't believe I was flat out declined a table over them. Not even waitlisted.

Listen I'm very loudly anti-AI but I think part of being anti-AI is also that you have to be AGGRESSIVELY pro-artist. Please support your artists, especially ones with marginalized identities.

Went to Costco and scanned our card to get in. Employee standing there was like "oh wow thanks for 17 years!" Worst jumpscare of my life

We started going to Costco when we got Ronny because it was the cheapest place to get high quality dog food. We had three dogs now so we were going through a lot of food a month on a student and a vet tech salary.

See now we're fucking talking One of the only weapons we wield in this fight is our money and attendance, and if everyone involved with an event says "I'm not going unless you stop using AI" there's only two outcomes: *No AI or No Convention* Conventions are made by and for the community
