I chose to do some ekphrasis for the prompt First Encounters. A fun challenge to stretch my CNF muscles with + a promise to myself to make more art that feels something like this with my paws. Something like homecoming. :3 2/4

I come home to my microwaved Char Siu and computer, anticipation spilling from me like the pork's brown sauce onto rice. The Deviantart dog, eartufts alight with fire, uses his own laptop with a friend. The other wolf is ordinary, one of them rendered in the inky indigo of night. They watch Netflix. Their unremarkable natures are not foreign in the sea of animals I found myself (awash) in. Here, I hail to no name and (no)body, only devoted to the tactility of fur and fire. Their bodies melt together, something I can’t extinguish yearning for.

There’s a reason in the epit/graph of my WIP this is the quote

others as strange, perpetually out of place. Considering oneself a stranger, one who looks back, “a monstrous fetter.”
In Jennifer Finney Boylan’s words: “I knew very little for certain . . . but I did know this much: that in order to survive, I’d have to become something like a ghost myself . . . and so I haunted that young body of mine . . . as a hopeful, wraithlike presence otherwise invisible to the naked eye."
The ghostly, that is, both sutures trans to death and, in so doing, allows for the insistence that what is, is not all there is; it asks us to live in suspension—even if only temporarily—to suspend what we think we know about hardened divisions in the social, a suspension of
belief that is the prerequisite for trans movements and trans thought. From page 148 of Cameron Awkward Rich's book, the Terrible We

Happy pride cunt–uhh month my OC Syd (it/its) constantly looks like it has a stick up its ass + and not just looks like, but does have a hungry ghost haunting it because of repression in questioning their identity. Here’s a WIP because I’m always late to these things otherwise #ocsky

an uncompleted comic page with harsh pencil lines and black outlines that consist of Syd, a mongoose holding its cybernetic broadsword with intense focus. Another panel shows them with bed head waking up from a nightmare, as their alarm clock beeps

For this #DAweekend , I drew some inside jokes from @absol.standingintheodds.com 's stream during last year and this years DA and some of his (and Calzone's) beloved Pokemon! Best of luck on the shiny Heatran hunt in DA.

A sketch page with a chibi absol, a cartoon oddish sleeping next to a semi-realistic Heatran. The two legendaries, Heatran and Zygarde are based on zoology like the mandibles of a tarantula and the New Mexico whiptail lizard. In the corner, another sketch shows mega Zygarde holding a massive "IBS Beam" while shooting at Ange. At the bottom right, there is also a lizard named GupGup looking menacingly at the viewer, with the text "TFW the unexpected lizard shows up"

AJ and Kirk from @shagoli.sadotters.com's short story, Parallel Hybrid everyone go read it NEOW 💥🚗 Amazing writing on the intersex Asian experience #furryart #art

An anthromorphic rabbit (Kirk) says "I don't..." while beside him, AJ the anthromorphic aligator with spikes on his head and down his neck opens his mouth, just about to say something in the tense air.

Maybe I will start to defend this sophomore album. Maybe the concept of sophomore slump doesn't materialize in my subjective opinions of this

Rina Sawayama's album cover "Hold the Girl" with her in a high fashion sihoullete where her dress fans out into a large circle. Her fingers around her shoulders are unnaturally long, her left digits forward to the audience.

lit and not just nonsense, lmao. I am just one man in love w the ideas from Awkward-Rich's The Terrible We and interested in the ways transfag poetics manifest. I've been playing w the 變文 poetic form in my novel because of its similarity with "TF" art common in explicitly trans furry communities 5/

Wén, of course, means "writing; text". No sweat there. But biàn is a thorny problem. It has the following basic meanings:
1. (intransitive) to change (by itself); to transform
2. (transitive) to change (something in some way); to alter; to transform
3. (intransitive) to become; to turn into; to change into
4. (transitive) to sell off (one's property)
5. (intransitive) to be flexible (when dealing with matters); to accommodate to circumstances
6. to perform a magic trick
7. sudden major change; unexpected change of events
8. changeable; changing
9. grotesque thing
10. (Buddhism) bianwen (form of narrative literature from the Tang dynasty)
11. (Hokkien) to do (bad things)

I suggest reading Jeong's piece in full, really insightful:

The Frog is the best thing to happen to American politics all year, but the fact that politics has devolved into Posting is ultimately a bad thing. As you can see in the grid of outcomes, the majority of the time, people are simply posting at each other instead of engaging with reality or solving collective action problems. The question of who wins or who loses in Triangle Posting Politics is divorced from material conditions, justice, or the common good.

My MC Syd is pretty fem throughout the duology I’m typing away at, very much a “I want to get the masculinizing effects of hrt so I can get more fem” kind of guy of which there are many. It’s a big fan of modern corsets. I wish there was more rep of this in fiction as well >_<.

Writing a comic script based on this Kliban's Cat cartoon so that's joyous and whimsical :3c #amwriting

An illustration of a rotund cat amidst tons of paintbrushes and paint cans, in use to paint a huge mural of angel cats. The angel cats' instruments and halos are painted in a bright gold, the same color as the rotund cat's paintbrush

An excerpt from it made me think about therian spaces in conjunction w/ the antisocial thesis. How many (culturally christian, USAmerican) convos are circumscribed to still reify humanist logics? Though there are different epistemologies different therians awaken to + archived 3/4

Excerpt from Smilges' Crip Negativity: "Edelman proposes “enlarging the inhuman” as a practice of queer negativity intended to illuminate the violence of humanism (2004, 152). However, the desirability of inhumanity is checked by its implicit ascription to disabled, poor, and racialized people. The antisocial thesis perpetually funnels its post-structuralist critique toward a project of resignifying abjection (as “a haunting, destructive excess”) rather than disavowing abjection altogether (153). Efforts to resignify or reclaim inhumanity inadvertently uphold a plasticized and plasticizing economy of humanness, wherein all variations and degrees of humanity are speciated on a sliding scale toward white cis-hetero-ablenormativity (Jackson 2020). Crip negativity, by contrast, declines to work within this project of intra-human speciation. Instead, the affective spacetimes generated by bad crip feelings make room for refusal on multiple scales, including the refusal of humanist logics and the refusal of the labor of critique."

In my furry world, theres mammalian anthros that are considered human and nonhumans are cold blooded, reptilian etc. But there are (a lucky few) who are anthro avians like Cockatrice! Their rarity in the wild rely on if you have the guts to undergo some... less than ethical experiments but you know.
