We Come As Romans had a shirt with a sexy werewolf on it and my local fur friend bought it and wore it without ever listening to them in his life. So it happens.

The concepts must have been lethally bad for them not to do this. Disney is well-aware how sweet and delicious all that Furry money is.

Sterjall sitting on a bristlecone pine branch against a backdrop of hazy mountains. His amber eyes look to the left, while his body faces right. His dark fur contrasts against the haze, his tail wraps subtly around a branch. He is holding Leif, his obsidian-bladed dagger, with the point down. He’s wearing a blue tunic, a braided leather belt, leather pants, and a copper bracelet. The bristlecone pine has nearly no leaves, but still manages to look lively.

Drawing of a green wolf in a forest with pine and birch trees. The wolf is wearing a green wool kolpak hat and a dark green cloak. There are leaves on the ground and in the wolf's fur.

Hey David -- your DMs were closed so I figured I'd say hey here. I wanted to ask your assistance, if you have any, about the Alaska Airship Company and how Anchorage investors lost faith in the project. Could you shoot me a message? I'd be really grateful -- I'm citing you prominently in my project!

Watching out the train window as darkness turned to sunrise, lost in my own world with pop-punk from my college years playing through my headphones, I was struck with gratitude for a career I’m halfway decent at, the people I love and who love me, and the modest ability to help others when I can. ❀️🐢

Newcastle pubs ban AI art from breweries to protect local creatives As two pubs in Newcastle ban AI art, artists discuss the impact it can have on creatives.

"If I was to use ChatGPT for my designs rather than our designer Sean, that's taking money out of the local area into the hands of a multibillionaire ... removing value from the local community and local artists [and] into the hands of some of the richest people in the world."
