Someone's gotta teach gen z (and hell, my generation too) about physical media collecting and the importance of building up libraries of files. If you like something it's worth saving it. Streaming won't have it forever and it's not good to rely on it
@tomreganWSB
Yeah, "thanks" for saving us from a drug that's perfectly legal in a lot of states now. Prison system is just hungry for more black teens to profit off of
Me: *googling a funny little bug I found*
Google results: How to destroy funny little bug. Funny little bug is harmless and won't hurt your plants, but it is ugly and here's how to get rid of it. Bugs must be punished for treading into man's domain
Me: :(
And hey, independent musicians you like? If you are financially able, buy their shit on Bandcamp if it's on there. Build your file library. I can also recommend getting an ipod classic and filling it with tunes. It owns having a music device that isn't your phone
@anarcho_slut
And frankly if cishet couples want to use gender neutral language, that's good. I think it's great to normalize words that don't have all the historical baggage of what "husband" and "wife" mean in terms of one's role in a relationship.
Really did not expect "zoomer furries trying to cancel Beth Cavener" to be a thing but here we are. I have bad news but you simply cannot affect a gallery artist the way you can bully an indie artist on this website
@anarcho_slut
Full offense, what you're saying is an absolute slap in the face to non binary and pre-transition trans people. A "dude" might be someone who isn't ready to be out yet for a multitude of reasons, but might feel better being introduced as a partner than a "boyfriend".
Last week I received an email from patreon regarding some of my adult work, stating that it violates their terms for "sexual violence", however, as I learned, how they define this is very broad and completely up to the discretion of its moderating team
This is why we need web spaces that are 18 or 21+ to join as the norm. I cannot deal with hearing about weaponized child stupidity being taken as fact. I don't even know what to say about this. Misinformation from credulous adults is bad enough.
Trans people have to jump through hoops to get surgery approved by their insurance, but thousands of people on twitter somehow believe that a doctor will just amputate some guy's limb because he's got a fetish.
Like why are 20k people taking the word of a clueless 15 year old?
It's up: a catalogue of werewolf and werewolf transformation screencaps of 1980s films, highlighting all the practical effects on screen. There's still some other films to cover and I will continue to update, but this is a lot of the major ones
Sick of people spreading those fake "put pedo in lgbt" posts. No we don't need to have discourse about it, it's a harmful chan prank and it's not real. Learn to spot troll accounts and check when accounts were created, thank you.

Seems good to me, I'm pretty sick of looking at 7 different brands of the same peanut butter that are all virtually the same except for price.
And in their follow-up, asked me to remove three additional images from my FA page. These images are not visible to the public and my FA is not visible to users without accounts- this means that Patreon has FA accounts to spy on its users
@ChrissySturt
I'd say let her pursue her interests. I was done with books aimed at younger readers well before 16. Genuine rec- Wizard of Earthsea, a great stepping stone towards Le Guin's other books.
My biggest hot take for Furaffinity re: safety of minors is that I think at this stage the site should be 18+ to join. That'd solve a ton of problems. More websites should do that, regardless of adult art being hosted there!
is back and now accepting submissions for a special After Dark issue, focusing on queer sex and eroticism- read more about the submission guidelines here and the aim of the project
While this is stupid and annoying, it's not my main concern about this situation. Rather, what you may not be aware is that Patreon actively monitors your off-site activity as well. The moderator insisted that I remove any links to patreon from my furaffinity page
So, a warning to all adult content creators- avoid direct links to patreon, the less keywords on your patreon posts the better (I think my images got flagged for including "nsfw" and "bodyhorror"), and be aware that patreon staff are lurking on Furaffinity and other sites
After a quite a few frustrating emails back and forth where I demanded clarification I discovered that "sexual violence" includes- normal depictions of bdsm if consent isn't explicitly stated (really) in text, or if the characters look unhappy. Really.

I spent a two day drive enjoying time alone with my spouse... I think this woman either needs to communicate her needs better or get a divorce

@Dragoneer
might be interested to know patreon's staff has accounts on FA that it uses to look for images that violate patreon's policies (they police off-site activity). Idk if that's actionable at all, but seems like a misuse of FA
Frito Lay gives teen 20k to redirect news coverage/trending topics away from the recent workers strike and the conditions of workers at Frito Lay. No doubt going to see funny Nabisco antics soon too
It also includes fantasy adult content that isn't possible in real life- vore, transformation, etc. If the character is unwilling or in pain, it's off the table. It also seems that human characters paired with anthro characters in adult situations are just not allowed either
And remember that their concept of "sexual violence" and other forbidden content might not accurately match up with what you're depicting, especially if your art is stylized or fantastical. The moderators are not the intended audience and don't understand what they're looking at.
It took longer than anticipated, but I finished the 2000s werewolf movie screencap post. It's got a ton of screencaps of the classics plus a fair amount of more obscure werewolves. A really solid decade for some amazing practical effects creatures.
@MildlyAmused
That's so interesting. Btw, I'm selling a bridge and maybe you or someone else in the replies would like to buy it? You can easily make your money back on tolls.
Anyway Cavener's art rules. I held one of her early sculptures when I was in grad school. It was a small bunny sculpture a friend owned and I think a lot about how neat that experience was.
I decided to temporarily disable my FA page to prevent the moderator from snooping further and looking for more images, and I'd also locked my twitter accounts until the case was resolved.
I should note as well, that patreon seems to be scrambling to increase profits and please their investors, they're definitely feeling pressure. There's been major layoffs and I wonder if an adult content purge might be coming (this is just my conjecture though).
I told them that this would be a lot of work, and asked them to clarify is FA was off the table entirely, or if they needed me to remove a few images from my FA page in order for it to be okay to promote my patreon there. They clarified that I needed to remove images
I didn't intend to become a person with opinions about movies for children but... Onward has this sexy butch manticore and yet the canon "gay" character they gave us is a cyclops cop? Come on. You know Disney gays would buy merch of her
Actually one more thing- if you're an artist, writer, etc who's been targeted in this way by patreon, I would like to hear from you so we can compare notes and spread awareness.
Genuinely cannot stand this culture around therapy as a "good person signifier" or having a therapist as an automatic tell that someone is getting better. You have to have a good therapist, you have to do the work, it's fucking expensive and most don't take insurance at all.
@gallandguile
I think that says more about college workload and the adjustment from highschool to university (controlled to suddenly managing yourself/your time) than it says about people who actually need medication. Your anecdotal experiences aren't the full picture.
@lporiginalg
I found shoes exactly like this in a goodwill for $15 and I've seen these types on layaway. But sure, grab the priciest amazon link you can find because you want to prove a point lol
This is what I've been working on for the past few days, a masterlist of music videos with anthropomorphic animals of some kind- through animation, vfx, costumes, puppets and prosthetics. Includes screen caps and links of where to watch.
I kinda wonder if there's a broader conversation to have like "kids with mental health problems or neurodivergence don't get those issues addressed as long as they test well".
Kids who grew up "academically gifted" are now anxious adults who have thousands of abandoned hobbies and spiral into self hate whenever they make basic mistakes, or they are doctors
There is no in between
It's really wild how the film Theodore Rex really has great and unique looking set designs. Colorful, distinct, like art deco filtered through a kid's book.
I'm launching a queer digital zine all about LGBT wolves. Accepting submissions of stories, art, comics, and poems from now until end of July. To learn more visit
I love being on twitter because among all the horrible news of the world there's also people having heated arguments about whether it's ethical to think Knuckles the Echidna has a sexy voice lmfao
@DogBlud
because she's sculpted 4 legged but anthropomorphic animals with sexual themes, like the kissing goats that represent a gay couple. It's the 4 legged part that they're mad about, as if that distinction matters for anyone besides furries
@BluskyeAllison
This parody version of Rowling is speaking like the villain in her own book series. That's the joke and it is not racialized. Maybe you should look at Rowling's own use of anti-Semitic stereotypes and racist caricatures in the HP series
@pitchfork
Myself and others have understood that italo disco is cool and fun for decades. You're too little and too late with your article about italo being in the "so bad it's good" realm.
I'm please to announce that my post of TV werewolves is up! Screencaps of nearly every werewolf on tv, organized by decade and year they aired. Includes effects credits
I wrote about "weird" art going viral, how the internet reacts to it, and also about a couple notable pieces that became memes, creepypasta, or urban legends online
I remember when I was a teen smoking shitty weed and drawing so much while high. Now I'll eat a tiny piece of an edible and just fall asleep after spending an hour googling "cool worms"
Hello idiot, thought you were just going to pick up some groceries at Ralph's? Well guess again, you swine, you're going directly down to the GameStop to pick up the Remastered Bambi for PS4 that I pre-ordered. Do not fail me again or I will destroy y
