This week, FurAffinity decided that it would update its advertising policy to include "mature" ads on pages that included mature/adult work. It didn't take very long for the backlash to come, which is pretty much what happens whenever FA tries something new. More users and artists distanced themselves from the site -- if they didn't … Continue reading FurAffinity and the Realities of Capitalism

The Patreon Saint
I'm a grown-ass rabbit, and I love comics. They're a fantastic medium to tell a story with!

Further Confusion 2014 is in the record books now, and I'm sure I don't need to tell you it was a hell of a convention. There were nearly 3,600 attendees this year, and it felt like there was an unending parade of things to do, people to see and places to be. I had a … Continue reading Hey Furries, Meet Sci-Fi/Fantasy!

Playing Around with My Race Card
Would you believe it if I told you that I ended up writing another review for The Bridge on the River Kwai meant to go up today? Luckily, I caught it in time and managed to keep it from going live. In order to make sure I have something to put up today, though, I … Continue reading Playing Around with My Race Card
