Logging on here in the morning is like - bubonic plague hitting elementary school kids hard this year - Musk demands all schoolbuses be cybertrucks - RFK Jr outlaws Advil, recommends "perineal tanning" as solution to chronic pain - Trump plans eradication of birds - that thing you love is now dead

Love this subgenre. worth looking at.

The problem is it IS our circus, whether the monkeys belong to us or not.

If you are a cis person *please* take 2 minutes to do this. Trans people with non-updated gender markers, historical gender marker changes, and X markers are terrified to travel right now; rolling back this policy would mean a lot.

You know what I don't see in #FurryLiterature? Dark epic urban fantasy... with tailmaws! If gritty, adult action and adventure in a urban fantasy setting interests you, try out #LegendOfAhya today! www.amazon.com/dp/B093FBYNDK Art by: @redfoxartist.bsky.social #FurryAuthor #FurryWriting

Trump Claims He Can Overrule Constitution With Executive Order Because Of Little-Known β€˜No One Will Stop Me’ Loophole

My latest obsession is Little Free Libraries. Have frequented seven locally and ordered my own. Dropped off about twenty five books, discovered half a dozen to read. Do you know there's an APP?? It will lead you to book goodness near you! πŸ“šπŸ’™

Additionally, while we are on the subject of furrylit and the UMA's, here is my stance on the AI debacle. Absolutely 0 shade to you if you disagree, but if you want to keep the AI out of furry awards, I think you should vote.

Plott Hound Magazine opens to submissions for the first time on March 1st! If you have any stories or poetry deeply engaged with the animal experience and perspective, we'd love to read them next month! Submission guidelines: plotthoundmag.com/submissions/

POSSUM-MAN: The signal is lit. My city needs me

Right in line with ants and cordyceps. Super creepy spider story fodder. And I thought the wasps were bad!!

Squirrel Tree Inn is available to all members, and a gentle reminder that membership is free. www.patreon.com/collection/1...

A propos of absolutely nothing, what if someone compiled all the ICE detention center and office locations in a handy spreadsheet? And what if that person was me on my lunch break? Maybe you want to share it? Maybe I'll make a map of it later. docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

Heavens, I think I have to read this.

I take umbrage to the use of the words "intellectual property theft." This is not irony it's hypocrisy.

Currently running on the Patreon: Star Spiders (arachnid/human scifi) Wind Singer (horse fantasy) Kelpiecorn (unicorn/kelpie vampire romance) Squirrel Tree Inn vol. 3 (Forest animal slice of life) ' Once a few episodes of each are up, will migrate some older ones to a free site. Stay tuned.πŸ“šπŸ»

Anyone still need evidence that they want us uneducated? It's so much easier to lie to someone who doesn't know any better.

Score whilst antiquing with @vossnraven.bsky.social Pristine machine, my favorite brand, glorious buy. Most excellent day... most excellent company. πŸ“šπŸ»βŒ¨οΈ

Read. Read books. Reading books is resistance. Buy. Buy books. Buying books is resistance. Share. Share books. Sharing books is resistance. Celebrate Celebrate books. Celebrating books is resistance.

It's very hard to write with a chicken in your lap.

I will be running several serials simultaneously on the Patreon, beginning with Earth Tigers, Kelpies Forever, and the continuing Wind Singer novella.πŸ“šπŸ»

Love that the article slips in this banger of an observation: "...alongside other complaints from people who said they were in the middle of coding or writing essays and now had to do the work themselves."

New Submission Call...

Hands up everyone who zooms in on every picture posted with a bookshelf in the background to check out the books

From my foreword to Making Amends: "In my neighborhood there was never a need to discuss why someone was incarcerated....I and many others--maybe you yourself--could easily be classified as criminals. Indeed, many of us are classified that way already." aqueductpress.blogspot.com/2025/01/nisi...

For those who need to hear it today πŸ³οΈβ€πŸŒˆ

I feel like tackling some serial episodes today. Incoming! Perhaps, this means the post-xmas dry spell has ended. πŸ“šπŸ»

warm lines save lives. please share πŸ’– credit ig: @/inclusivetherapists

Also: join your friends of the library chapter, if you have one. Their funding often helps drive book purchases, etc.EveryLibrary is a good resource for finding out about attacks on libraries, etc., if you’re looking to be more active. πŸ‘‡πŸ»
