I'm Back
2 years ago
While a lot's happened, and a lot more continues to go on, I've decided I might as well be available and seen here again.
I still stand by what I said previously, that our community needs to uphold solidarity with everyone included in it and not posture, cater to, or cover-up for detrimental, abusive, and negligent actions by incidental leaders. I hope to remain someone who can and will talk about this when it arises, as well as retrospectively where our history serves as a crucial teacher.
But also, I'm an artist, and to survive I need to be engaged where the most prevalent exposure is available to me. It hasn't helped any causes or changed anything to have excluded FA from my output, and a great many people still frequent here despite everything that's happened before and everything that continues to happen.
Like Twitter, which I also haven't boycotted despite everything going on there, I've come to realize that disappearing from some climates is not how you stand for change in them. That only surrenders it to the way it already is. Silence is stagnation.
So, I'm here again. I'll be posting here in addition to everywhere else I also do - so please also see my Trello as a central hub for all my other sites, as well as commission details and statuses - https://trello.com/b/ze0KokRT/durgs-itinerary
Everyone, please remember how important it is that we are who and what we are.
Whether you identify as a furry, or a fetishist, or any sort of unique individual who enjoys the allowances to freedom we have...
We must always remember that we couldn't have any of this if we didn't have each other.
Anyway, enjoy some art!

I watch you elsewhere as well but, welcome back!
And the more cynical side of me has noticed problems almost everywhere these days, which makes it feel even more pointless to try to find the 'golden goose' of a site where everything is great and perfect. (Even places which have become popular, like Itaku, I have noticed problems that are sort of under the hood and that everyone else is ignoring or missing.)
But yeah, stagnation does nothing in particular, and that's what abandoning platforms does. We're also all individuals, as you said; we should consider simply what we enjoy doing, and not feel the need to follow what other people are doing because it's popular or whatever.
Glad that I can see your art again, as an aside. You've always done some great stuff. My individual opinion has been that I didn't really want to migrate to social media sites and other art sites just to follow artists I like going other places; I've got a busy life and I simply don't want to juggle more sites. (Especially things like Twitter, because I really don't feel comfortable using social media sites.) So I do appreciate your outreach back to here. ^^
I know this place needs some work, but it's still nice to see you back bud ^^
