You will never hear me chant "no politics." Too often it's used by shit people masking shit views. And guess what? We're furries and queers, two terms that are essentially synonymous. Our existence is made political against our will. That said, once I'm caught up on verified news, my covid damaged heart really can't handle the stress of seeing the endless doom and commentary while I'm trying to view art that I enjoy to calm down. Really. I started getting palpitations and blood pressure problems that I had to scrounge money for medication for. Gonna need to have a follow up and maybe try something else soon, too.

So yeah, I'm glad I came back here. Wish artists I really liked used FA more or at all. You won't catch me dead on twitter, either, and everything I've heard about mastodon turns me off more than twt/bsky. Some have TG channels, and if I had money I'd go with patreon for others. But this old place feels kind of like home.
