Echos of Furry/Therianthropy/Otherkin in Central America

There's an exhibit of Central American ceramics at the Museum of the American Indian here in DC. It's about to close, actually, and I finally got around to reading the booklet about the exhibit which features essays on indigenous Central American cultures. In one of the essays, even before I came a…

Streaming: Hatoful Boyfriend. 10 pm EST tonight.

I'm going to pick up where I left off on Hatoful Boyfriend (the pigeon dating game!) tonight at 10. So this is the trying-to-reform-Sakuya edition. Will be on (old) Livestream. I'll likely do another run-through of the game from scratch later this week (or after I've finished this one) and let ever…

Literary entries deleted?

The text of all my literary submissions on Weasyl seems to have been deleted. Has this happened to anyone else? Is this a known bug?

Poetry and truth

If you want to get an idea of what I see as the purpose and meaning of poetry (and other art), you can pretty much just watch this video: http://youtu.be/mVGjNbinBsQ I've linked to this before, but I really can't do so enough. The key idea is that poetry should convey truth. And that's something th…

Feature Suggestion: Artist-specific Ratings Filter Settings

I'm going to try to be constructive with a new feature idea: the ability to filter ratings based on the artist submitting the work. I often like one artist's general work but not their adult work but I'll like another artist's general and adult work. But there's no way to filter out the adult work…

Nudity is not for adults only. Do not comply with the content guidelines.

Can you imagine an art museum that did not allow depictions of the human body? Why is this site any different? Humans are born with genitals. They are born with nipples. These are not bad things. These are not wrong. These are not for adults only. They are for one year olds, two year olds, three ye…

Remember TheriThere? Want to help support its return?

Some of you may remember Orion's Therian/Otherkin comic, TheriThere. They've started a patreon focused, in part, on reviving the comic. The Patreon also supports them in making new quality otherkin resources like their Otherkin Timeline and Directory of Otherkin Writings (http://www.frameacloud.com…

Looking for a masculine hairclip.

Do any of you know someone who makes masculine-looking hair clips? I'm thinking of something like what Thorin wears in the new Hobbit movies. Preferably silver with a leaf, feather, dragon, or perhaps celtic knotwork motif.

MMOs - Do you read the flavor text?

So... how many of you play MMOs? Which MMOs do you play? When you play them, do you tend to read flavor text such as quest and npc descriptions? If you do, is it any good?

Gulls

Sorry about all the gull photos - I don't usually post this many at once, but I will warn you that I got a few more good photographs I haven't uploaded yet. But I love gulls. They'll show up in my poetry a lot and if I get a good photo of one, I'll post it. Just beautiful birds that really inspire…

Two suggested improvements for Weasyl

I hope Weasyl gets rid of the need to click "View and manage Submissions" button in order to clear submissions. I also really like the DA feature of "remove from messages" on each item, but simply allowing a user to manage submissions on the first page would be very nice. A "Remove all" or "Check a…

Go birding with me today! For Science!

Today or tomorrow, actually! And maybe not literally with me, as fun as that would be, but we can all participate in the Great Backyard Bird Count! You don't have to count birds in your backyard - you can count them anywhere! A city park, a state park, a wildlife refuge, the local lake, anywhere is…

What is a "Friend"?

So I've finally joined Weasyl and I'm in the process of following and friending all the people I usually do... But Weasyl has given me a dilemma. What is a "friend"? For artists that I talk to sometimes and kinda know, this is easy. Follow and friend. But what about artists I've never so much as se…
