  • Who’s “we”?

    Who’s “we” motherfucker?

    You best understand that I’m not part of your fucking “we”. I did not do this to myself, nor did I do this to any of my friends. We did what we knew how. We most certainly did not do this to ourselves, and personally I’m not going to just shrug and sigh and lay down and take it.

    America’s chosen government doesn’t see me or many of my friends as human because we’re trans and you’re saying “we” must reap what “we” have sown, as if we are somehow responsible for our own persecution. That’s victim blaming. That’s what spineless people say when they have no real skin in the game. That’s what people say when they’re too scared to speak up. That’s coward shit.

    Well, I refuse to take responsibility for this trash. I refuse to take responsibility for the abuse I and my friends will likely be subjected to in the coming years. Nor do I have the option to just lay down and take it.

    Fuck your “we”.




  • I live in a small town in europe, built a house and well it takes me about 25 minutes to the next bigger city (not huge one, lets say 50.000 people live there.

    I sometimes find myself getting frustrated because the next gym is 7 minute drive by car to another smaller town.

    It took me about 15min to get to a furry meetup today. I live in the same city as the meetup. I have a friend who regularly drives across town to see their boyfriend. They’re over an hour away from each other. They live in the same county iirc.

    That’s just how things go.

    As for cost, look into parks and stuff like that. Meet people at parks or libraries. If nothing exists, start something. Distribute pamphlets. Look for hobby sites that let you advertise meetups. Go on dating sites and invite a bunch of people to a date at the same place so y’all can play Mario kart together. Pass out flyers. You can do it!










  • Alright, so, in Texas you’re not allowed to own an opossum as a pet. There is no license for owning a pet opossum (they’re “fur-bearing animals”). However, there is a license that’ll let you kill opossums for their fur. Furthermore, said license allows you to trap them. The interesting part is that there’s no legal requirement for you to actually kill the opossum if you trap one. You can trap the opossum and take possession of it for however long you like.

    So basically a hunting license (might have been a trapping license?) lets you effectively own an opossum as a pet in Texas!

    Edit: also, yes, opossums are as soft as they look, which is why people used to hunt them for their fur. I got a chance to pet one and it was about as soft, if not softer, than a cat. Also very boney, like cats.
