Giving this place another chance
2 months ago
Hey there watchers,
It’s been quite a while.
I’ve been keeping tabs on the goings on here on FA, and it sounds like Skiggles and the rest of the crew are trying to do right for us Babyfurs for a change.
As a result, I’ve decided to start posting a few things here again. I figure I should reward good behavior when it is demonstrated (and by “reward,” I mean by posting my art here again… whether that’s truly a reward for the admins or not!).
There’s still a lot of things I’m not sure about here. What content I can post, rules for diaper usage and such. I also would like it if those banned or given strikes previously would have those taken away. There are still a lot of my friends and fellow artists who just don’t have the peace of mind needed to feel safe sharing their work on this site and I would like for that to change.
We’ll see how this goes.
In the meantime, my life has been… volatile. Good for the most part, but the future is uncertain. I switched careers. I like the new job, but I’m not sure I’m capable of measuring up to the standards required to stay there permanently. I haven’t given up hope yet, but I am still trying to mentally prepare myself to accept disappointment should things not work out. Honestly, I don’t know what I’ll do if they don’t. =/
I’m also working overnights nowadays, so that’s come with its own set of challenges and impacts on my life. Socializing with others has been a tad difficult, and not getting adequate sleep depending on what’s going on with the rest of the world hasn’t helped either. Kiffin and I are on opposite schedules so we’re not seeing much of each other either.
The pay is pretty decent though.
In the meantime, the world took a massive shit. The US has gone from its typical low energy Imperialism to a full on openly fascist regime. We’ve got a 24 hour live streamed genocide and are being gaslit into disbelieving our own eyes. Another major middle eastern conflict seems imminent (possibly even World War III, though I don’t know if it will go that far), habeas corpus has been suspended for the most vulnerable of us, families are being split up and some folks are being sent to a maximum security concentration camp in El Salvador, the US’s social safety nets are being dismantled, empathy is being demonized. As usual, those at the top are trying to get us to fear those below us while they continue to destroy our futures and reap the bounty of that destruction for themselves.
Basically, life is scary right now, seemingly more than ever, at least for me. This community has been, and continues to be a place that gives me comfort. A treasure that I absolutely want to contribute to the well-being of… as cringe as it can be sometimes. Now, more than ever, it’s important that we do our best to appreciate this little community of ours while we still have it.
I truly hope that FA will ensure we have a safe place to post our art and interact with our friends. If they start mistreating us again, then I’ll leave just like before. If I continue to see an improvement with the way we are treated here, then I will gladly advocate for others to return as well. Here’s hoping we can be in the good timeline for at least one thing!
