This Would Be More Professionally Useful If Not For the Furry Art

The people afraid to show their peers or bosses my technical writing because it also contains furry art are some of the dumbest cowards in technology.

Aural Alliance – Furry Music to Wag / Pounce to

Dhole Moments is not a music blog. I will not pretend to be an expert on music, music theory, or music appreciation. But it goes even further than that: I am so untalented at music that I exert a vacuum pressure on musicians who cross my path at furry conventions. Regular readers of my blog […]

Furry Porn Against NFTs: A Call to Forearms

In A Furry’s Guide to Cryptocurrency, I briefly mentioned that NFTs are a dumb idea and not a valid reason for anyone–but especially furries–to get involved with cryptocurrency. The legitimate reasons for furries to consider cryptocurrency are to protect porn artists and sex workers from the overreach of the conservative finance sector. To bank the […]

Furiosity Thrilled the Cat: Questions People Ask About the Furry Fandom

Art by Kyume. Search engines have this feature where if you start to type a question, it will attempt to predict your question based on what other people have asked. This has some hilarious consequences. Sometimes this feature gets gamed by large hordes of shitty people (read: 4chan) typing provocative questions into search engines. Let’s […]
