None of my family members know what a furry is and i’m keeping it that way.

i would have never thought of this in 1000 years lol

I never knew that the stock drawing is based on an IRL stock photo

You don’t understand, this batter was a lot saltier than the batter you’re thinking of

Honestly, not delivering on the promise of decentralization is what makes Bluesky functional. With Mastodon i’m constantly having federation problems.

IMO Mastodon is more of a long play, in the sense that it will be great five years from now whereas corporate social media like Threads and Bluesky will enshittify. But as of right now, Mastodon is not super usable. I saw a lot of people move to it during the Musk era of Twitter but very few of them are staying, in fact Lemmy isn’t really retaining the users it gained from Reddit either

Wow people are assholes, Bluesky is a nice place to be right now. It’s still corporate social media so odds are it’ll turn bad in the coming years, but right now it’s a nice place with lots of furries.

Though tbh i think most people who wanted an invite code already have them, even i got a code that’s how you know they’re reaching the bottom of the barrel

Tons, and cinnamon, flour, and a little bit of salt. I find that the bread dilutes the flavor, so i overload the batter to compensate.

I don’t like bland french toast

First thing i did, while my mouth was still salty from the first bite, is go get my sharpie.

Never again

There’s a 1% chance that the weird cousin who never comes to family gatherings might be a furry. That’s absolutely it.

The idea of having hobbies in common with family members seems alien to me - which i think, to quote the meme phrase, Says A Lot About Society.

hi

This negative space seems perfect to fill in with the environment, but i get a feeling OP doesn’t like to draw environments. Relatable, but they’re going to have to, especially if they want to sell a sci-fi setting.

My anthro awakening was Blacksad, but i circled around the furry fandom for years and years before joining last year.

Circa 2010 i was feverishly googling “tiger girl” looking for pictures of elvish girl in the forest with her pet tiger, you know, that kind of fantasy art; and i found some obscure forum where someone posted a furry drawing of a tiger girl, and someone commented ‘can someone please draw a furry that isn’t trying to be sexy’, and i’m like ‘what’s a furry’

But even just that anecdote already hints at why i didn’t join the fandom: there was less SFW furry content back then, and i was a lot more prudish. Both have changed since.

So, you know, on the list of things i could/should have done ten years ago, there’s that.
