Is that not, like, default possum mode?
comment in response to post
Ugh. For all that some people are saying that you need to watch it to have an opinion, 95% of viewers will see the blurb, maybe the trailer at most, form the link between furries and animal abuse in their mind and scroll on.

On my phone I thought you were massive and licking a normal sized human

Some Scottish schools do too. Mine had a few teachers who encouraged it, but there wasn't a clear rule

I hope there's some robust criticism of the international law implications, I know our lot are ready to go full Blair, so someone's got to do it

Maybe not the ear, but the chest fluff plus armpit line made me think he was cupping smaller boobs

I am amongst the boob perceivers

I used to run into Elaine when busking on the Mile during the Fringe. She's great, kind of a weird mother figure to all the buskers and traders.

I didn't even know greaves were an armour thing. I had a mental picture of a tiny John Greaves (of Henry Cow fame) running around shooing the cat away from your legs

My version of the first one grew green algae inside that we could never clean out

You do see Scottish people using "Am" for "I'm" if they're writing in dialect, but the rest of the phrase doesn't sit right with that.

So far the ones targeting UK groups are mostly Nigerian registered numbers, not sure why the scammers with UK based numbers aren't doing it here where it would look credible

With some accounts, I worry that a pre-emptive block might actually make me more discoverable to certain parties, since it's all visible anyway on ClearSky. Unless it seems likely that the person might interact with me directly, I'll usually just mute.

If that crowd finds someone icky, that's enough for callouts and all manner of drama, and I'm pretty sure a mid-40s guy in latex is inherently icky to the average 19yo TikTok kid.

I'm 44 but only active in furry 7-8 years. There are enough people in my age range that I rarely feel isolated. Though I will say, a recent local influx of young furs with puritan tendencies has dented my confidence about being open with kink slightly, even in clearly kink friendly spaces.

Cancelled by yinglets, is there a worse fate?

The style reminds me of the times when real people (usually celebs of the time) popped up in the Broons and other strips, so I started to wonder if the artist might be caricaturing someone specific as a little in-joke

Grice

He's a great shape, but the way he's written (especially in the comics), he'd be infuriating company a lot of the time
comment in response to post
Who was the artist on this one? I feel like Dudley D Watkins would have dropped a self portrait in there, but this would be after his time, right?
comment in response to post
See, it's the same picture.

They're even stacked like the real deal!

We have a meadow vole species around here. Ivor sticks his nose down their burrows, thankfully hasn't worked out catching them so far.
comment in response to post
Slightly chunkier than a mouse, with a short tail, might be some sort of vole?
comment in response to post
With how fast furry is growing, I feel like it's no longer feasible to coast on having done something that resonated with people even two or three years before, especially if they're at a point where their grievances and controversies become more visible to the community than any new creative output

There's a road a few miles from me where they stuck a plastic bag over the camera and kept driving. I've clicked up and down that road, rotating around to see the seams and folds in the bag a few times

It's especially annoying if the posts are a not entirely specific response to things happening around the time of posting

A fruitful weekend
comment in response to post
I think it was the same publisher and a lot of the same cartoonists as the Beano, but they played up the rivalry between titles in a slightly meta way
comment in response to post
I'm going to have to go and look up the Mud Caves now too
comment in response to post
Those are some tight corners, I never knew they could do that
comment in response to post
For anyone over a certain age, Beezer is the inferior Beano competitor
comment in response to post
Yeah, he found a pretty direct way to channel something, and I liked that it annoyed some more calculated players too

My first response to Keith Jarret, between the faces, the movement and the vocalisations, was definitely along the lines of "is this guy OK?"

And, for viewers in Scotland...

I take it Mr Green is talking about American football? As a Glasgow resident, love is a long way down the list of emotions I associate with football crowds.

I have cherry red ones with purple laces as my default footwear
comment in response to post
Oh hey, that's a block for me too. I'll respect it, but it's not a very constructive response to mild criticism.

I feel like Eelsy would be an untrustworthy otter with a London East End accent
comment in response to post
The takes I'm seeing from him and his allies seem so dishonest. They imply that being wary of this piece of media is the same as wanting to suppress the 2018 leaks and hide abusers, completely misrepresenting and smearing a lot of furs who just doubt whether a true crime show helps anything.

I lived just past that bridge for a few years in a tiny one room basement flat under some posher places. I really liked that spot.
comment in response to post
Maybe one of those New Romantic flouncy shirts too

I have the little red organ from the same range. Did you get the strap attachment? (I hope you did)

There are worse smelling yellow things

So, yes, it's a problem that we need to develop tactics to prevent or deal with, but it might not be representative of the mood towards us in the UK press as a whole. The root is one well-connected bigot pulling in favours from tame journalists.

That rash of articles around Scotiacon this year were an unusual case. All of the first wave cited one person as a source, the co-director of an influential Scottish anti-trans lobby group with specific grudge against Scotiacon. Confuzzled (a larger UK con in May) attracted zero negative press.
comment in response to post
The reaction from the community has been reassuring, at least. There's literally one furry who thinks it was a good idea, and that's the one making money from it.
