Harris/Walz was a breath of fresh air and a much needed change until about two weeks later when Democratic "strategists" said "hey the campaign's going great, here's some changes you should make to appeal to the dozen or so mythical middle-of-the-road voters out there" and the campaign fizzled out.

This.

The top reason people don't vote is they don't like the issues/candidates.

Those people are not sitting at home because the choices aren't far right enough for them.

It’s time to abandon the idea of chasing after “swing voters.”

We gotta start targeting the angry. Those who have been failed by the system. Those who are being screwed every day despite giving it their all.

They also probably don't burst into a million fragments when they pop like weather balloons do.

I got tired of explaining to folks that Horseplay Toys supports nazifurs and went ahead and blocked all their followers.

The endless loop of excuses: "I didn't know they were bad" -> "thanks for letting me know, but DM me next time" -> "follow policing is bad" -> "I didn't know they were bad" &c.

Years ago, I saw a book titled something along the lines of "Weather Balloons Make Awful Sex Toys," and all I could think of is if you think a weather balloon is an awful sex toy, you're using it wrong.

But then again I'm a fetish mad scientist so I've probably put more thought into this than most.

It's worth noting that "anthro" is historically favored by the more conservative elements of the fandom.

And all that implies.

This is a poster for ChocolateQuill's Caracaloween commissions. The picture is a wizard caracal casting a spell beneath a potion clearly made to look like a caracal with whiskers.

The text says: Indi's Caracaloween four.
Take the potion, drink it all, transform into a caracal! But beware, some risks apply. On tricks and treats you can rely. Thirty USD, plus ten to add clothes or a costume. Ten slots open. Completed by halloween.

The poster depicts a green turtle frog using a caracal potion to turn into a cute green caracal. The text says:

DETAILS. If ordered by october 18th, guaranteed october thirty first completion. If ordered after october 18th, November completion. Basic design and recognizable features retained! Art is a surprise. No works-in-progress. May have a spooky or silly twist. Cute chibi flatcolors. BUT BEWARE. Three of the potions came out...strange. Still caracal we think, but with a twist. Will you take the risk? Order on ko-fi.
