It's been 4 years since my last journal, but due to recent events in the world as of late, I figure it was high time I made a change, especially after waking up and learning someone I tied myself has been bashing.

My one submission, Malaysian Kiss, was submitted some odd years ago. I was happily offered a spot in that commission by https://www.furaffinity.net/user/aerys/ , who was, at the time, developing a friendship with! I was excited, I loved the artwork he was commissioning, I just felt baffled that he would offer me the spot. Needless to say, I was stoked and excited.

Fast forward several years to this "grand" year of 2020 and on Twitter it has been brought to my attention that he was part of an Alt-Right Telegram group where he has posted derogatory remarks, "memes", and "jokes" against LGBTQ+ and ESPECIALLY against Black people, going SO FAR as to mock the death of George Floyd...

Don't believe me? Here's the Twitter post linking to the Imgur image caps of said Telegram posts: https://twitter.com/MiniMikeKD/stat.....65194298007552

Needless to say, I was mortified... To think I had respected him as an artist and a stand out member of the macro furry community, to think I OWED him for gracing me with the chance to have free art with him... I felt sick to my stomach...

But in my haste to delete the commission, I forgot to save a link to the artist who drew up the commission for them, so rectify that, I am posting direct links to Short Antic's art accounts:

Follow them, they make amazingly detailed art!

These are trying times for everyone, but ESPECIALLY for our Black brothers, sisters, and everyone in between, who have had a ruined system against them since their ancestors were sold and bought as victims of warring tribes centuries ago... Please, give our Black friends and family as much support and love as you can muster. Support them in these trying times. Share your platform for them. As a gay white furry veteran, I will always support Black Lives Matter.
