Now presenting: My dance comp duo with @skaizilla.bsky.social from #FWA2025 (@furryweekend.com).

It was such a joy putting this routine together, from the choreo to recording our raps, and I'm so glad we could share it with y'all. <3

But basically, if everyone that protested last time brought an extra person, that number'd get hit easily.

No. More. Kings.

The propaganda that Dems are responsible for this, despite all they are asking for is healthcare protections for Americans (NOT undocumented immigrants), is failing.

It's imperative our voices be heard stronger than ever.

Share, and tell me if you'll be at the protests.
I'll be there.

So for those out of the loop, a No Kings Protest is happening on 10/18 against Trump.

Apparntly, there is a rule that states if 3.5% of a nation protests a governing party, it is likely to fall (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3.5%25_...)

In June,protests reached half that.

Go out and protest on Saturday.

I too am awestruck for forgetting what fuckin hoodie I was wearing

Like sure, it is objectively better to help people without needing or expecting recognition & admiration from it.

But saying folks are bad people for doing good things with this motive, when the world sucks so bad right now, just feels really unnecessary.

Let's take the good where we can get it.

I saw a goofy comment recently that said "philanthropists are bad & selfish people actually, because they need you to know about all the good they're doing"

Like honestly, who the hell cares?

The world is full of so much darkness. Just be happy people are contributing positivity to the world.

It baffles me that people form discriminatory opinions on gender issues, and do so under the guise of "respecting science," even though they're largely anti-science in many other instances.

Like you can't just pick and choose holding this as an ideal.
Be consistent or stop being a bigot.

I looked around SO confused until I remembered what I was wearing

Brenda Banks @ FD @brendabanks.bsky.social · 4d

I realized what happened now, see photo I just replied with. Lmaooo

I scanned the whole train before I realized why he said that.

Hahah. Hah. Ha.

What the FUCK?

I'm riding the train, and the announcer comes on and says:

"I just want to acknowledge the nice costumes, particularly the chinchilla"

??? MY FURSUIT IS IN MY BAG, DO YOU HAVE X-RAY VISION? WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT????

I have a Lenovo Legion. Apparently it is extremely hard to replace the keyboards due to the design.

Does anyone have any recommendations for powerful laptops for streaming/gaming/video editing? Ideally not more than $1500?

I love that I might have just ruined my whole laptop because I took out the E key due to it double entering, and now the Q W and E Keys are dead, and the E key won't reattch.

I am such a supreme fucking idiot sometimes that it's insane.

Is there more info about what the New Years event will be like?

For example, will there be a bar to buy drinks from, and a DJ line-up for a rave, or what's the vision?

Brenda Banks @ FD @brendabanks.bsky.social · 14d

Negotiating with Republicans is impossible, because they love nothing more than the government shutting down.

We as a people need to stop electing a party to government that would rather eradicate it entirely, than make it work better.

Sorry for the meme square but I feel this needed visibility.

I won't be going to FC in January nor in the future. Neither do I feel I'll be attending any #AdventureCru events. I'm mostly making this statement since people reach out, thinking I'm still involved with plans.

Thank you for you time. ❤️

Is it just me, or are illnesses named after people the worst ones. Miss me with that Richard Stevens Syndrome or whatever the fuck
