It's always a good time to go looking for a cute derg to cuddle by the seaside. But maybe #FursuitFriday is extra good.

What I think they are fighting against, even if they don't realize it, is private corporations. There's private research, private techniques, private meetings, private committees, private trade secrets... it's not that processed food is dangerous. It's all these secrets being kept from us that is. Does anyone think that food corporations would hesitate to poison people, if it made a profit overall, and everything was private so there was no oversight, transparency, or regulation to get them in trouble for creating poisonous, addictive substances?
Canning is public knowledge, from public research. Pasteurization is public knowledge from public research. "Natural flavors" are... probably addictive and poisonous, but nobody, not even the government is allowed to know.

"Yes," the Fairy king said, "the stars in our sky are the same as yours. Our realm parallels your world, not any others."
"Then, graceful majesty," the astronomer said, "I ask permission to build an observatory in your realm."
"Why?"
"It is hard to see past our own lights."
"Ah."

“Until I was almost 40 I didn’t know language existed that describes my gender. If non-binary gender identities had been acknowledged and spoken about it would have saved decades of dysphoria. If hormone blockers had been an option I would definitely have wanted them. The elation of discovering the validity of my gender identity is tainted by grieving for the adolescence I could have had.” Calley

I’m no fan of nuclear power, I agree it will soon be obsolete, as renewables and battery storage will be quicker, cheaper and safer to build and have much less of a negative legacy.
But I was curious about the timings and ballooning costs and so came across this article by a nuclear power fan…

Honestly, we all know they aren't going away. Seriously. Don't fuck with Furries.
We've been getting shat on by normies over our "perversions" for years and years.
Besides, you're literally fucking with like two thirds of the LGBTQ community as most of us fall into the fandom somewhere along the lines or at least know a catgirl or three.
SiegedSec ain't done.

Mike Howell of Heritage Foundation went at gay furry hacking collective SiegedSec after data breach motivated by Project 2025.Miles Klee (Rolling Stone)
@KinkyTurtle I still wanna know how the head of cyber security broke the data breach to them.
"What do you mean a bunch of gay fucking foxes and cats hacked us? Furry...What the fuck is a FURRY?"
That image has had my tail wagging all day. lol

I've written up some thoughts about AC, first time in years I've felt like doing a little "journal" post-con. In summary, it was a really magical experience, one of my all-time favourite cons and affirmed why I love this fandom so much.

Well that was certainly an experience. AC '24 was my first Anthrocon and my third US con in total (many more to come I hope!).Fantastic Mr Flint on cohost
Just learned possibly the most cursed C fact IMO: array[i] is equivalent to *(array + i) per the spec, which means i[array] works exactly the same, since the + operator is commutative. It also works for multidimensional/nested arrays and the “outside” index doesn't even need to be a symbol, so you can even do things like 0[array]1, equivalent to array[0][1] and *(*(array + 0) + 1). This is a new level beyond pointer decay, which generally makes sense even if it's irritating

Even with the internet and all of you nice people, I still feel like this a lot of the time.
This is my childhood. up till I broke my knee, spent six weeks off school, no friend visited. When I was mobile again, I found myself outside of the group I'd tagged along with before. I had no friends from that day on.
Thank goodness for the internet.
Thank goodness for you.
I just saw a forum post where someone didn't know something and the reply was "You're one of today's lucky 10,000." and then they had to also explain what that meant. How meta.
PS, if you don't know what that is, then you're one of today's lucky 10,000 - https://xkcd.com/1053/
We have seen at least two dozen reports of people testing positive for Covid after Anthrocon. There are likely more people ill who have not tested, who have not spoken up, or whose reports we haven't seen.
A large convention, attended by people from all over the world, with low masking rates, during a major national trend of increasing transmission, poses a significant infection risk to its attendees. We urge conventions and their attendees to take this risk seriously.
There are steps we can take to lower the number of people who get sick after a convention.
There are steps YOU can take to reduce your risk of getting infected or infecting others.
There are tools we can use. But we have to choose to use them.
Just as you can wear a seatbelt or a helmet to reduce your chances of injury in a car or on a bike, you can wear a mask while at a convention.
Even if it's just while you're on the con floor, it's still better than nothing.
You don't have to leave it up to chance.
