An assortment of topics that don’t quite deserve their own dedicated blog post.
Over the weekend, I decided to make an account on Furry Amino. My reasoning at the time was, “A lot of furries lurk there, I should see what it’s about.” That was a bad move that I’d like to discourage others from making. What’s Furry Amino? Furry Amino is a furry-centric community on the Amino […]
A question I often get–especially from cryptography experts: What is it with furries and Telegram? No, they’re almost certainly not talking about that. Most furries use Telegram to keep in touch with other members of our community. This leads many to wonder, “Why Telegram of all platforms?” The answer is simple: Stickers. Telegram was the […]
Briefly explaining the Infursec prevalence within InfoSec
Normally when you see an article that talks about cryptocurrency come across your timeline, you can safely sort it squarely into two camps: For and Against. If you’re like me, you might even make a game out of trying to classify it into one bucket or the other from the first paragraph–sort of like how […]
Sexuality and the Furry Fandom.
I’m not going to mince words on this one. No, it’s not just you. No, it’s not your fault. No, nobody knows what to do about it. Recently, a lot of furry artists and content creators have expressed a sentiment of frustration and listlessness with their own work. (Both privately and publicly.) This is usually […]
Welcome to the furry fandom, please enjoy your stay! ^w^
Vega of Opinionated Guides (OpGuides for short) recently asked to interview me for their website hosted on Github Pages. You can read the interview here if that strikes your fancy. Opinionated Guides is a quite excellent learning resource for various topics ranging from engineering to art, music, and philosophy. One thing I really like about […]
Why blog about cryptography as a furry?
If living through the COVID-19 pandemic has taught us anything–and it surely hasn’t–it would be the importance of friendship and community to our physical and emotional well-being. For more on the subject of People Who Ought to Know Better Not Learning the Obvious Lessons from Misfortune, one needs look no further than social media. Popularity […]
A frequent source of confusion in the furry fandom is about commission pricing for furry art. This confusion is often driven by (usually younger) furries demanding free or severely cheap art from artists, and the aftermath of such exchanges. There’s a reason @SpicyFurryTakes posts so frequently. In the interest of not adding to the confusion, […]
Being a furry is like: Every once in a while, you’ll stumble across an enormous contingent of the furry fandom that you were entirely unaware of for years. Sure, you’d expect artists to be furry, but when you’ve run down the checklist of possible hobbies or professions to the point that furry doctors, furry lawyers, […]
Some of you may be surprised to learn that my fursona is not a fox, nor a wolf; nor is it a fictitious fox-wolf hybrid popular within the furry fandom (which is usually called a “folf”). No, my fursona is a dhole, which is a real species of endangered wild dogs from Southeast Asia. The […]
This year (2020) has brought a lot of death. Friends, neighbors, coworkers, family members, and even some of the strangers you saw every day in your commute to work but never even stopped to learn their name. Of course, people dying isn’t exactly news. People in all of those groups have died all the time, […]
While the furry fandom can be a wonderful place and a force for good in the world, the topics that tend to circulate on Furry Twitter are somewhat seasonal: They repeat every so often–usually sparked by someone saying or doing something shitty–and never actually lead to a productive result. Let’s look at a few of […]
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 […]
My recent post about the alleged source code leaks affecting Team Fortress 2 and Counter-Strike: Global Offensive made the rounds on Twitter and made someone very mad, so I got hate DMs. …Look, I only said I got hate DMs, not that I got interesting or particularly effective hate DMs! Weak troll is weak, I […]
