friday friday friday!! help a family!! stream!
a year ago
hey!!
this FRIDAY my friends are doing a livestream to help raise some funds to keep things together - you know how tech is right now. so, dad1 is out of work right now and seahorse dad has a major chronic illness (it's never lupus...except ... it's lupus) so they're in dire straights and need all the help the community can give.
ya may know em...
rdewalt and 
vincinicolaides
a pair who have been in this fandom for a long, long time and have always worked really hard to create all-ages fun things online for years. cecil's comics were formative for young queer furries in the aughts! ryan's websites included things like "random kitten of the day" and the earliest furry webcomic link exchanges! they're both now parents of i think it's... four?! kids!! and honestly, truthfully, they are wonderful caring parents who work very hard to protect their childrens' privacy so that the children dont grow up in their own digital footprints.
cecil was, obviously, a major point of emotional support that i thought back to constantly (even if we didn't chat constantly!) during my treatment. like, to know you are not alone in a weird scary thing (even if not the same scary thing) is very helpful to surviving a weird scary thing. so cecil's open honesty about health struggles is also something i think has been just important to internet culture in general.
if you can't make the stream though, you can help here:
