I gotta remember to update my journals man, I've done so many videos since the last time. Flayrah Floundering https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vPZ5pgbKZLU In the past months Flayrah has been slowing down a bit; I go into why and why we need to never take those who work hard on something for granted.…
Since my last Journal update: Anthrocon Attendance Leaps - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BMGB6DOdSOA Where no Character Arc has Gone Before (George Tekai on Gay Sulu) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kERdM1RlAdQ Also I will be putting 3 topics up for vote each week at my twitter account: https:/…
After about 6 minutes of roo rambling about 20 years of AC and other things I get back to the topic at hand. Two different segments of the fandom are currently struggling to maintain a foothold. I discuss the need for a more community oriented approach for Furry Readers and Furry Gamers, citing exa…
The first in which I give context to my later video, but also discuss the loss of life in Orlando and show reflection upon the media's reaction to these incidents: Tragedy's Pulse: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OZJK0AKRhRc The second is a rant about one individual's reaction to the shootings. Thi…
This week we talk about the gender separated bathroom and why things need to be changed. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jd-1dQe3Vu4&ab_channel=WorldinRooView
This week's video goes over what probably the first video should have! Basically it goes over the plans for a weekly vlog of me in suit talking about topics of interest to the fandom or gasp general human beings? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=myBar0xIqcg&ab_channel=WorldinRooView
Biggest Little Fur Con's monsterous growth has led it become the third largest convention in the fandom. We talk about this, and some other things that resulted from the convention, such as the Fur Affinity code leak. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dJNshvJchpM&ab_channel=WorldinRooView
This Fursuit Friday decided to try a fun little project. After doing a review of the Fursonas documentary there seemed to have been an interesting reaction I didn't anticipate. In this video I discuss the fandom's adverse reaction to the stereotype of all furries being suiters. https://www.youtube.…
I recently had an idea for a commission of my character that has to do with a recent event at FurAffinity. I've had a background in studying politic, and I always wanted to kind of do a political satire cartoon of some kind. Recently during the announcement of FurAffinity's reinstatement of their f…

My coverage on the new site Furry Network and what it could offer to the fandom can be found on Flayrah. https://www.flayrah.com/6299/new-art-site-furry-network-sees-traffic-growth-following-fa-forum-incident While it is an interesting site, I'm note really its target audience. However, its target…
So this recent idea is proposed on twitter about, "If you can go back and kill baby Hitler would you do it?" Now there is the premise of the question and there is the emotional intent of the question. In essence the question is thought of to many as "if you could stop the death of millions by killi…

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hn7Njk1R5A8&list=FLA6ZY5cWTD-BhUGChxPyGwA&index=1 Pamiiruq Sorrell has provided this video at the rear of the parade as it goes into the public section of the parade. Great thanks to him of getting this perspective, and thank fates I was in that particular section. N…
It seems that right before AC there was a bit of a kerfuffle a-twitter. Some drama has brought up 2 the Ranting Gryphon's name again, which I see fewer and farther between myself these days. It may surprise people to know that when I first started off in the fandom, I was a fan of the Gryphon. It m…
In order to keep a clear record of the effects of the policy change and how it was handled I will be Providing a table that keeps track of the changes in the site rankings. My theory is that they'll be significant enough to be interesting. I will get the rankings from here: http://www.alexa.com/ We…
FurAffinity recently pushed out an advertisement update policy. And many are asking "Why?". Here is a quote from the update post: "We've enabled mature third party ads on submissions which contain adult content. These ads will also show up on any page where adult content is visible (such as in a th…
...and I feel fine. A year ago when Project Phoenix was announced and some time had passed for the fall out to fall into place, I had made an editorial about the state of Fur Affinity(1). In it I concluded that time would tell whether the new promise would take flight or just smother the ashes. And…
During a mass gathering of men and women in uniform, one meant to show consolidarity amongst those that serve their communities, a firestorm of controversy has erupted. "I can't believe they would do such a thing. Do these men not have any respect for the uniform they dawn?" A union representavtive…
Tonight I want to do something a little different. An open letter to a human being who is free in body, but caged in spirit. Afraid and isolated for the wrong he committed against another, and uncertain of what the future holds for them. So I begin this letter by saying: Dear Mr. Wilson, I am not a…
When Rocket Knight and Sonic the Hedgehog come together, what do you get? You get Freedom Planet: Read a full review of the game here: http://www.flayrah.com/5761/freedom-planet-furry-platformer-inspired-furry-platformers
An actor died, that's all I knew. Some name on a page I dd not recognize, so I had just passed the articles about them by. Knew they were famous enough to warrant a major article in the national press, but the name didn't register to me. So two days later you run into a tweet that is the one that p…
You know, some of us furries like to give the Ursa Major awards a hard time. The populous based nomination sometimes give out some questionable set of candidates. However, over this past week I would like to take back my statements in the fact that as bad as some of our nominations, or heck even vi…
As an update, on March 15th Weasyl has climbed the rankings and surpassed SoFurry http://www.alexa.com/pro/comparison/details?cid=0d1ffd7f-2794-4d06-a4bc-19b79205... Now Inkbunny, SoFurry and Weasyl are at about the same ranking. FA maintains it's normal patterns. Whether Weasyl will eventually tap…
So this up coming weekend I plan on going to the second annual FTM convention being held in Baltimore. The last con I went to was last years in April. I don't get out much, though I've found this particular con to my liking my one time there that was not there in the larger conventions I had attend…
What's your name? A one or three syllable word that people call me to get my attention What's your eye color? black, white, and one member of the visual spectrum sandwiched between. --Why are you avoiding answering these questions, smartass? Website like to use the same questions as can be found on…
Going a bit old school here, given the oddly large controversy this whole thing has caused I can't help but think. How would this be covered in an eryshe style comic? Well since I have no drawing ability, I will present it via text. It would be a 2 parter (12 panels) which would go something like t…
When it comes to people in the fandom I am just as anyone else. I know some of the big names off the top of my head. When I hear the name "Zaush" I think of a very talented artist. Many of us know him for his art. When I heard he was going to go on FA staff for the UI, my hope is that it would be a…
I have just seen one of the most mind blowing and tweets I have ever seen on Twitter— well, second to what GreenReaper said a few days back, but moving on— This month's Book of the Month is Red Devil by @KyellGold! Pre-order it here: https://t.co/N48hw48sz4— Furry Writers' Guild (@FurWritersGuild)…
The Culture War is a facade. That's all there is to it, because nothing brings in the cold hard cash like unrelenting anger, by getting people to believe their very identity is at stake in some company's play that they're going to take everything away that you hold dear, or that it is the last bast…
So as I've been reading, and hearing about this whole Duck Dynasty incident from my unique position and getting a handful of different perspectives I think I finally got a bit of a handle of what exactly happened, why it happened, and more importantly what it says about society as a whole. In parti…
This may be of some interest to some artists who want to vacate a site in favor of a new one: http://www.flayrah.com/4882/how-switch-art-sites-without-losing-customers
So I spent two hours tonight, obviously really bored... So a diamond planet was discovered, but just how much bank are we talking here? Well I'm going to do my best and get my dusty math brain clicking again to attempt to calculate how much in diamonds could be harvested if at all possible (which i…
