    My baby niece started bobbing up and down when a song came on, happily waving her little fists and shaking her little diaper butt.

    I was like “that’s terrible, you’ll never be a star, keep your day job you untalented hack!”

    Don’t think I know any furries, though I think I’ve met a few. I’m probably too old, but that’s alright. Never been to a furry party, but if I knew any I would invite them to my parties. I don’t get the stigma, seems like other people are too insecure in their own identity to accept people experimenting, or settling on an unconventional one. Even when I first heard about it that there were people supposedly having sex while wearing cartoonish animal costumes (which yeah I’m sure it happens, people will at least try to sexualize anything that they like) I realized that the media always sexualizes “new” lifestyles – its one of the most tried and true ways to make people decide that a lifestyle is weird is to make of seem like it is only a sexual fetish.

    90% of CEOs identify with wolves and sharks and lions, when they do it you’re supposed to buy their book called “The Lion’s Share,” and kiss their ass about it. But if some non neuro typical queer kid does it, its some kind of cultural nightmare scenario. Really reveals the root of the stigma IMO.

    They seem nice and I bet their fursonas are soft and comfy, if maybe a little hot inside the suit. Sorry if any of this seems insensitive, I don’t mean it that way. Except toward CEOs, I mean that to be insensitive, if anything I should be more insensitive toward them.



  • You have to learn to distinguish cool liberals, who are for individual freedom, democracy, progressive society; from the bad liberals who always side with private property against those things. The people in the first category are just confused; the people in the second category are actual class enemies. I acknowledge that these aren’t discreet categories and there will be some overlap, but winning people to your ideas slowly, over time – because these ideas are based in their material reality, which they need to test against their existing views – is the only way to get through to people. Sometimes the process is quicker, sometimes its slow, but its the only way to help people see the world for what it really is, and that together we can actually bring the fight to the ruling class.

    The Elephant and Mice episode was so wild, because if I remember correctly, the elephant didn’t act afraid of the mouse, it acted afraid it would step on and harm the mouse; as if the elephant had a basic understanding and concern for the wellbeing of another creature conspicuously lacking in many human beasts
