if your creature looks kinda like a dragon, I'm pointing at it and saying "dragon".

Gatox? Dragon.
Ferrin? Dragon.
Wickerbeast? Dragon.
Felkin? Dragon.
Most furry original species? Dragon.

Hi we literally have ZERO control over what ads play when we post videos or stream. Your anger is valid, i'm angry too, but do NOT blame creators for this.

If anyone sees any ICE ads on any of my content report that shit, but know that I'm not in control of what ads YouTube or Twitch put on.

Lives and life-Years Saved From COVID-19 Vaccination This comparative effectiveness study analyses the number of lives and life-years saved worldwide among those who had been vaccinated during the COVID-19 pandemic 2020-2024 years.

According to the results, for every 5,400 doses of COVID-19 vaccine administered, one death was prevented. That adds up to 2.533 MILLION deaths averted across the globe from 2020 to 2024.

Oh, and while we are here, in case you missed it, there was a recent GLOBAL study led by Stanford University that revealed COVID-19 vaccines utilizing mRNA technology PREVENTED OVER 2.5 MILLION deaths and SAVED 14.8 MILLION years of life worldwide between 2020 and 2024.

Surely HHS saw that, right?

Also, for those of you that are somewhat of an introvert like I am, itโ€™s ABSOLUTELY okay to call and leave a message as well if you donโ€™t want to speak to someone directly.

Surely their answering machines can handle the influx of messages, right?

Every call helps.

These people can only conceive of win-lose situations, and so they forgo win-win arrangements in favor of lose-lose arrangements

Noticing red flags in people is an important skill for avoiding bad people in your life.

But your life will be better if you can see what makes some individuals fantastic. Allowing you to surround yourself with fantastical critters and learn how to be fantastic yourself.

The universe loves to increase total entropy.

It's easier to destroy than to build.

It's easier to hate than to love.

But it sure doesn't impress me.

A fundamental problem with society is that we've normalized being a hater.

Being a hater is easy, and is usually self-serving.

"I may be [negative adjective], but at least I'm not [category of people]."

And, yeah, part of this traces back to the geek hierarchy chart idea.

Every reputable expert I know considers mRNA vaccine technology to be one of the most revolutionary advances in medicine in our lifetimes. Its inventors won the Nobel Prize in 2023. Shutting it down now is pointless self-harm to humanity.

ICE Is About To Go on a Social Media and TV Ad Recruiting Blitz Contracting records reviewed by 404 Media show that ICE wants to target Gen Z, including with ads on Hulu and HBO Max.

It would be really funny if every "influencer" got in front of this campaign and poisoned the well with memes that render their ad spend ineffective

that would be Free Fur All, one of the funniest and most pathetic things to ever happen in the fandom. Made it two incredibly limp years in a Tulsa suburbโ€™s publicly owned conference/wedding venue and then exploded in a bizarre cucking scandal
