Furry Marketplaces?

So I'm wondering - where do people go to find commissions or things to buy these days? I'm doing some research and found some stuff, but any suggestions would be nice! I'm specifically looking for places that have the works of multiple creators up for sale or advertised, kinda like the Weasyl Marke…

FAU trip cancelled

Due to fundamental disagreements of what constitutes "threatening violence" and what should and shouldn't be covered under Furaffinitys Code of Conduct rule 1.8, I am cancelling my FAU trip and my panels, and demanded a refund. I'll instead prepare for the next convention I will be attending and co…

'The Patriarchy': "You guys"

Prompted by: My own comment on https://notalwaysrelated.com/a-straight-up-assumption/39754 When Academics talk about 'The Patriarchy' in the context of feminism and social assumptions, they don't mean a government or social system run by men for the benefit of men, but the social assumptions and ex…

Budgets: Household != Government

[Prompted by: Idle thinking] One of the arguments I often see when discussing the spending habits of the Federal Government is a comparison to household budgets. "You live within your means, and you tighten your belt when you go through tough times, and so should the government!" Reducing expenses…

Was going through some old stuff

Was the FA/Furocity merger REALLY 5 years ago? Man, what a disaster that was. But that's the timestamps, 2011. It doesn't really feel like it's been that long! What a rush that was. If I was the person then I am now, maybe I could have made some different decisions, approached things differently. C…

Pratchettian Philosophy [Again]

"'Yes, your offer is… interesting,' said Dangerous Beans. There was a gasp from Peaches, but Dangerous Beans went on, in a small voice: 'The world is big and dangerous, indeed. And we are weak, and I am tired. Together we can be strong.' Indeed! 'But what of those who aren't strong, please?' The we…

Why I'll vote for Sanders

So this has been a thing kicking around in my head, watching the US Democratic Party Primary process, and it's a bit of an admittedly weak case for Sanders over Clinton. As things stand, I will be fine with either Clinton or Sanders as President. If I wasn't in California, I'd consider getting invo…

Sunk Costs vs The Vimes Boots Theory

As I'm certain y'all have guessed, I am not a financially rich person, and not much in the traditional material wealth. I often don't find myself lacking for what I consider important, and if I think about it enough I have to admit, shy of having enough money to undergo my dream projects, there's n…

Thoughts on Criticism

I think I'll start crossposting my "burn off my meds side effects" journals to here as well, starting with today's: So I had a few thoughts about criticism and critique, triggered by a NotAlwaysRight entry ( https://notalwaysright.com/email-fail-part-7/50612 ) and inspired by a non-furry situation.…

#FirstWorldProblems

I'm raging about my internet download speed. It's currently at about 300kb/s. I had a moment of self amusement, as I recalled, back in my early early days as a young tigercub, that I was amazed I could have a sustained 5kb/s download, making getting the Starcraft demo plausible! It's amazing how fa…

Imported watch list

Hah. The tool is... not as helpful as it looks. That and maybe 20% of my watchlist is over here on active accounts. Maybe 20%.

Ugh. 230 items to go...

I have 230 items to upload to Weasyl. Ugh. Maybe I should just wait for Kitashi to finish a multiuploader.

So I'm here.

Well, only vaguely so. I've had an account for a while anyhow, only really grabbed it to protect my username. Probably not going to be checking here very often. :3
