I found out today that Dragoneer passed away last night. I don't even know what to say about the suddenness of it all. I hope his family's doing alright. Fuck this country's degrading, abusive healthcare system. That his last few posts on bluesky were about the thousands of dollars it'd cost for a biopsy that came too late, is horrifying.

I've talked my share of of trash over the years, but I really do appreciate Furaffinity as a website. I've browsed it since before I was technically old enough to make an account without lying about my age, and on/off over the years, it has been a part of my life ever since. I can't think of any other art gallery sites that manage to do quite what Furaffinity does; it really feels like something made with artists and art appreciation in mind. And the site culture, as much as I've had problems with it, has really been good for me as an artist. Of all the platforms I use, there's no other where I'm quite so liberated from anxiety and shame.

In terms of legacy, you could do a lot worse.
