The first time someone spoke a slur to me I was 6. I spent a lot of my childhood wishing I was different, but I’ve since settled into who I am and who I’ve become. I’m a lot happier now and proud to be me :)

Petition for all cons to have a scheduled 1 hour lunch/dinner break where the Dealers Den and Artists Alley are closed to customers and secured (maybe during a popular event). Hate seeing friends wondering when they’ll get their next meal while hoping no one steals their stuff.
Furries will want something as driven & focused as a malinois/shepherd breed because “UwU Cutie powice doggo”, then be absolutely unprepared to handle such an active, large animal that will destroy your house and friendships if it isn’t enriched constantly
Cryinggg 😭 somehow furry twitter turned “Sometimes minorities in the furry community feel uneasy seeing ‘cute animal in riot gear’ because it feels like making light of PoC dying at the hands of cops” into “Everyone’s cancelling my indistinguishable g-shep sona! G-shep rights!”
Me, who actually is trans and pregnant rn, dehydrated and delirious from losing my guts up until 4am, waking up to see the
@LilNasX
album announcements with dried tears and snot on my face: “Aww dang, what if I had maternity photos that were this cute?”
Mmm, love to take advice on what to focus my energies on and how to be a better person from this purportedly “good furry” who advised a cis dude that while they were invited to a party, their trans male partner was not allowed to come and ruin the vibe. Too negative I guess 🤷🏿♂️
I don’t understand how some furries can be so ridiculously dense that when a marginalized person shares a negative experience within the fandom, their first reaction is “Well I’ve never seen that”. Of course you wouldn’t fucking experience it if you aren’t a minority LOL
I dunno what kinda drugs my timeline is on rn, but ya’ll. It’s actually possible for trans folk and/or PoC to be shitty. Calling someone out for their behavior/saying they have rubbed you the wrong way in the past/etc doesn’t make that statement inherently racist or transphobic.
Me looking at a group YCH that says “MALES ONLY”, knowing that the artist probably means “Cis Male Only”, knowing that the other folks buying slots expect only other cis male characters, and then buying a slot for my gay trans self anyway 🤷🏾♂️

One of the things that stuck in my head from when I was growing up was my mom telling me no man would marry “a girl with ugly scars on her legs” because of my interest in skateboarding.
It’s so easy to let kids just BE without piling on your own insecurities and issues.
Went to a Skateboarding/Rollerblading/Cycling based protest today! Happy GoSkateboardingDay, happy Pride, but most of all BLACK LIVES MATTER and the fight isn’t over!
Guess who’s near ready to keep you wrapped up just in time for MFF or this holiday season? This leaf nosed bat will be looking for their new home soon! Sized around 6’ and 180, let me know in the attached poll what y’all prefer. Feel free to DM any questions!

Could you fathom being so dense and privileged that you see a black man on your timeline get suffocated to death, and your reaction is to put on a fursuit and spread your bony asscheeks on Twitter because civilians dying at the hands of police is “bullshit drama”???
Can you believe it took me a whole DECADE of self-discovery after coming out as trans and initially denying all femininity to be 100% comfortable in the fact that yes, I am a man, but I’m also an enormously gay twink?
Here’s to my first pair of girl pants post transition LOL
Also, trans men r allowed to like/dislike certain aspects of our bodies, be as fem or masc presenting as we want, care/not care about surgery/passing, and be sexually confident in ourselves. The amount of respect you give cis men in these fields is the same you give to trans men.
It’s my birthday today, but more excitingly it’s Miguel and I’s 1st Anniversary!!! ❤️🎂❤️🎂❤️ Thank you husband for always being so amazing, supportive, and fun, my handsome coyote 🦦❤️🐕 Here’s to many more years with my partner and best friend ❤️
No one sits around saying “I would love for my dog to roam free and: potentially get hit by car, spread disease/get sick, get injured in fights, overbreed, suffer abuse at the hands of bad people, etc.” So why do people suddenly get defensive about bringing their cats indoors?
Any body else in my life wanna admit to me they make niggerjokes when nobody is looking??? That they looked me in the eye, hugged me, and when they got home said people with my skin tone are monkies? Say that to my fucking face then so I can bust your teeth in. Fucking cowards.
I wanted to get

something sweet to celebrate their one year post reconstructive surgery. Understanding personally how big of a decision it is to take that step with dysmorphia & dysphoria helped us connect deeper. Here's to freedom and itchy scars, bun

I don’t care what anyone says (barring medical complications): masks are cool af, have always been cool af, can be an added form of expression/fashion, and I’m gonna keep making and wearing mine post Covid 😷
You know who deserves to choke and disappear? Rapists and racists. I can’t fucking trust any of y’all. Performative fucking liars. Interacting with minorities and their content only to treat them like dirt when no one is looking. Every fucking day with y’all.
Don’t yall just love having a flat chested female character and everyone either calls you a cub or a c*ntboy? Because the only thing that defines being an adult woman is having breasts? 🙄
Mako is around 6/7 years old, and this is my first time having anyone petite enough to fit in him and bring out their own character into the costume! This is so exciting for me because I love suit swapping and I’m so glad
@Hojozilla
was able to fit <333

Me:-feeling good about my body sexually- Vaginas are fun!
Some Trans Folks: Highligting aspects of yourself that aren’t cis-normative is exploitative and anyone attracted to that is a chaser
Other Trans Folks: If you don’t have bottom dysphoria then you aren’t trans anyway
Me: 🙄
PoC parties aren’t race exclusive if that’s where this question is derived from. It’s just a space where folks can chill knowing they can talk about anything from discrimination, community struggles, music, culture, etc. and no one tells them to “shut up and stop whining”. [1/4]
Miguel and I picked up our Marriage License today (not officially signed yet!) so now we’re halfway there and just need to set the date and finish up some other business. Super excited to finally be husbands with the sweetest, most patient, and supportive man 🦦❤️🐕
Now that I’ve slept and have a clearer mind (vs saying something reactionary because I was real upset last night) trans men are not “men-lite”/“basically women”. Extremely upsetting to hear how so many of my trans masc mutuals were nastily treated. I hope they can heal from this.
Anyway, it’s Black History Month yall. No one gives a shit what animal you are and no one is “cancelling” you LOL Just for once in your lives maybe actually listen to your brown friends if they say something makes them feel uneasy. Real life issues trump your stupidass fursona.
1 week post giving birth and I feel 10x better already. Was pretty much bedridden for 3 months. 😭 Now my body doesn’t overheat anymore, I’m not waddling around uncomfortable and sick, my energy level is coming back, etc.
Was able to be in the heat and mulch the yard today ❤️
Just shipped a suit out. The ladies at my local post office know me by name and told me I need to remake the Spurs coyote mascot. Little do they know that that is my secret wish to be asked to do that lol
If I’m recognized for anything it’s probably Mako! He’s 10+ years and still holding up. When people ask about the fit, many are surprised to hear it was built like everyone else’s (and without stretch material). You can literally see the seams. He’s just a pancake of fur/dartless
Love when conventions can muster up the energy to adjust their policies with concerns like “If you skateboard outside of the hotel, you may get your badge taken away because it’s a hazard” but will let pedophiles work on staff. Y’all sure do care about kids and safety huh?
This shit is why anyone who knows me knows I have extremely strong feelings about aesthetic use of black culture and hair. Fucking tired of of seeing non-PoC furries running around with dreads because it’s “exotic” while real people suffer with a hair texture they can’t control.
Two Texas teenagers were denied jobs at two different Six Flags because of their hair.
Six Flags: “We maintain a company-wide grooming code that includes standard uniforms for front-line team members... no extreme hairstyles."

I'm looking to take on one Plantigrade Body project with a short turnaround, ranged from $1.2-1.5K. I'm specifically looking to focus on intricate markings (spots/stripes/rosettes/etc.) If you or anyone you know might be interested, DM here. RTs appreciated!

! I am looking to sell a collaborative personal suit of mine that never got any use. I’m looking for $2000 as is, or offers of $3k+ if you would like for me to complete it by making paws, feet, minor alterations, and/or accessories. RTs appreciated!

My favorite thing about this post so far are all the folks ACTUALLY falling for the dogwhistle. That’s the whole point of the supremacist phrase, to seem innocuous. It relies on your ignorance and emotion to get you riled up into defending yourself and going “Hey wait, why not??”
One of the funniest things about sentiments like this is that you are showing your whole ass to other fursuit makers that you think their hard work should cost pennies. Do folks know we all talk to each other, right?
TFW ignorant furs whine about interrupted escapism and ask why we all can’t just be fwuffy animals, but black furries literally CANNOT ESCAPE THEIR SKIN TONE. And even when it’s an appropriate time to suit up and the head comes off, it’s “Oh...:/ didn’t know you were..bLaCk...”
There’s this guy in a NSFW chat I’m in that after some nice trans* centric porn was shared said he wanted to punch trans people in the face for lying about their bodies and that they don’t deserve respect. So now every time he starts typing I post cute pics of my fursuit :)
Could you imagine actually doing something useful for your fandom, like providing artistic services, and some pasty old fuck that has never taken a history class and thinks the Civil War was fought for “heterosexual rights” is the chosen Guest of Honor instead of you?
I don’t think I’ve ever felt so panicked as being in a scared crowd stampeding towards you for a reason you cannot see, and while I survied being-black-while-holding-a-cardboard-sign this weekend, others did not and do not. That is why you must speak up.
#BlackLivesMatter
The most magical moment for me in fursuit making was when I realized that you could just sew literally everything on the face together. I could sew the ears, nose, neck, palate/gums, even the liner, to the face sock. Is it hell to put on the foam base, yes. But great after! lol
Fursuit Parades: Exciting, Cute, Nose boops, Get to perform and wave at everyone, Gauranteed footage of all participants’ suits in action
Fursuit Menagerie: Basically the headless lounge as a scheduled event, boring, swampy, no one engages outside of their social circle
I mustered up enough energy to enjoy the snow when it was at its thickest (around 2am). Neighbors kept saying they haven’t seen snow like this in San Antonio since 1985. Perfect environment for a little otter like me

If you aren’t black, there is literally no reason for you to EVER use the N-word in any context. It is not yours to reclaim, and being either complacent in its usage by your non-black peers or actively saying it yourself makes you a huge piece of racist shit.
