Stigmata 🤟🐵🚯

Had tried it already, unfortunately.

I can't open it up to get some rubbing alcohol in there, because there aren't even visible screws. I wouldn't know how to describe the stickiness, but thank you for offering.

Thanks again for being flexible.

Seems like a softwear error. I used the official channels to drop 'em a note, but who knows how long it'll take. I just have the worst luck w/technology.

Colors on the Switch is no longer working, including with my multiple styluses and tests on a Switch 2.

My most used button on my Tourbox is sticking, and I can't repair it.

I like the challenges of digital art, but hate the enshitification of it all. Sorry clients, doing my best.

Spot on comment about the constant calls for art censorship. Complaining about fiction is easy and lazy. Working on real problems is hard, but that's what the actually good, moral people do. Censoring a few drawings isn't going to reduce anyone's suffering.

BOYCOTT AVELO! NO FLIGHTS FOR DEPORTATIONS!

"Every day, trans people are offered a choice of being free or being safe. Both is never an option. Many people receive neither. Whenever we choose to be free, to take a chance on any kind of joy, some small part of us has an awareness that we could die for this."

I feel this so deep in my bones.

You offered a lot of helpful responses on this topic here
, and I wanted to thank you for putting in that work.

Whenever the question of ________ fetish comes up, I really wish people asked, "Why do they like it?"

I see so many furries casually joking about executing people for sex thought crimes, as if people opt into fetishes.

I'm fine with the discussion if it's ever about meeting material needs.

If you hate seeing dub/noncon in art and you want less of it in the world, build some third spaces. Help organize accountability in your faith communities. Build local harm reduction resources.

If you'd rather just complain, may life help you understand the genre eventually.

You can be squicked or uncomfortable with any dub/noncon art and/or porn you see. I am sometimes.

If I try to ban it w/o understanding the underlying traumas and needs of the work, I'm being a self-centered asshole and deserve a call-out.

How'd I flip on the topic? I learned of the countless examples through history where art and roleplay were used to bring healing to victims of abuse.

A Jewish woman got cancelled for writing about the mere existence of Holocaust-themed sexual roleplay from both sides of the genocide.

Saying this as someone who _used to be_ explicitly anti-noncon, Do NOT separate yourself from this issue.

The people in charge of these censorship rules never care about how consent works.

They don't care about sexology.

They don't care about victims, creators, or any motives but their own.

We’ve skimmed applications and really need more of this representation:

Please share/tag people so artists in these communities will see this (paid) opportunity!! ✨

Well, if you need me, I'll be over here trying to fix a multi-year-long problem I warned would happen, after years of everyone but me being too passive to proactively resolve conflicts before they fester.

Please fight the fash instead of your peers, y'all. 🫠

From understanding the lies, pain, and selfishness of others, it kinda left me with this superpower. I still need to stare at the ceiling sometimes. I still cry.

But when you build collectivism AND set your ego aside, it equips you to handle things many in your position could not.

But years later, getting cancelled outside the fandom in is much more embarrassing. People don't have negative furry stereotypes here; just the cognitive dissonance and passive communication necessitated by liberalism even on the so-called Left.

The worst parts of #MeToo (like the clunky projection of male CEO predators onto much smaller largely queer and eclectic fandoms) meant seeing people choosing call-outs over call-ins. They'd also conflate discomfort with harm.

Knowing the stage and players aaaaalmost makes it hurt less.

If, God forbid, you ever get cancelled for things you simply didn't do, you can't really change to fix anything. The . But you CAN use it to understand how it happened. You can more deeply understand psychology + sociology basics, healthcare reforms, and especially Disability Justice.

This kept going into the COVID19 isolation years, which poured gasoline on that fire. Lots of time to think at home, not a lot of time to pour into your local communities. We all got gaslit into normalizing the ongoing COVID deaths and disabilities to this day. Most of us still look the other way.

Do you use your social media feed to admit that a mostly good thing like #MeToo also contributed, in part, to the thing that almost took your own life away from you?

Even if it IS the truth, doesn't that take the attention away from the victims with different gender markers and races than my own?

At least three of my close friends and myself were victims of false cancellations. We were all trans, furry, and at the mercy of our creative skills, so you really could destroy someone with a callout, earned or not.

Still, we all knew the fake callouts were statistically less likely. So what do:

Those around for early #MeToo saw a game-changer especially for femmes in the Western mainstream. A few male celebs were also signal boosted as victims. Great for baby's first "Patriarchy is Bad", and not great for mature models of conflict resolution or moving beyond _white_ feminism.

From 2019-202X there were some isolated cases of furries cancelling me for things I didn't even do. One by one, I caught them all either lying explicitly or simply unexamining their past traumas.

I was the one getting cancelled, but even THAT wasn't really about me.

I'm writing one of the more unpleasant statements of my life right now, in response to lies about me (outside of the furry fandom). Paraphrasing Sasha here: "None of that happened."

Trust me, it's really embarrassing. Also traumatizing. But fortunately, the furry fandom prepared me for this:

This campaign is almost at 100%. Please signal boost.

A disabled double amputee named Rodney Taylor has been held in ICE custody since January.

He’s been denied his new prosthetic legs and is now in solitary confinement.

His “crime”? A burglary when he was a teen for which he received a full pardon. 🧵
