Biden really went "I can't forgive $50,000 in student loans because it'll disproportionately benefit rich kids that went to Penn" and then a day later gives Jeff Bezos $10,000,000,000 for no reason.
Saying that Spirit Halloween fursuits are going to drive the market away from Fursuit Makers is like saying Shein is driving the clothing market away from Louis Vuitton.
Alright I gotta just ventdump for a sec.
I went to a plush fur panel at AC that started at 10 in the morning. I got there late, probably around 10:30 or so.
Everyone's just in a giant cuddlepuddle all over eachother in their suits. I'm kinda feeling weird about it. ->
Hey white people,
If you fuck up and do/say some racist shit, you're not entitled to forgiveness or friendship from the people you affected. Own up to it, apologize, but don't act like you're owed cordiality in return. Let it be a reminder to watch what you say and do.
I was always told "You become more conservative as you get older" which turned out to be a dog whistle for "once you get yours, you stop giving a fuck about other people and actively vote for their demise". But turns out I'm not a fuckin sociopath, so
I love these stupid goofy costumes, I love the cute and innocent aesthetic, and I like the kink stuff when it's the appropriate time. But I just can't deal with a lot of the other plush suiters that are here only for themselves, only here for the kink, and have no awareness.
And then all I hear is all the motherfuckers that were softcore groping each other at 10 fucking AM complaining that their fun got ruined. Guess a kid getting fucking groomed is just...not a priority in their minds and I'm like,
Imagine seeing a plush furry panel on the schedule as a parent, thinking your kid can get some pictures and interact with the big stuffed animals, cause it's a PUBLIC 10AM panel, and then it's just a bunch of dudes my age softcore fucking eachother on the floor.
And it's because some dude brought a fucking MINOR into the cuddlepile. The kids parent apparently was, rightfully, frantic as fuck and reported it to con ops. Apparently some dude brought them in there, this kid was actively being put in this situation
Sick of the dramatic, egregious irony of everyone being too soft to have a negative opinion of people because we always all wanna get along. But people constantly show their own self-motivated asses so obtusely and are constantly kink-brained about these stupid goofy costumes.
Sick of all the people that only hit me up to ask to "suit swap", when they actually mean they want me to essentially dom them while they wear my suit. Sick of people that are terrible to interact with out of suit, but "nice enough"
This clown says we need a "principled and strong" opposition and then ignores the progressives in Congress that oppose the centrist corporate democrats. You don't need Republican opposition. You need Progressive opposition. Give us healthcare.
So I'm just like, trying to socialize the best I can with the few people not in the pile. Then staff comes over, gets the panel runner, and we get told that the panel is getting shut down ->
I don't show up to the private plush parties at cons anymore, because when I show up it's the same people, all pining for their needs to be met and nothing else. Then I go to a public panel and everyone's so up their own ass, they don't even give a shit about a pedo showing up.
Sick of people hitting me up to suit swap once we "get to know each other" by doing small-talk online and then finding me at a con and immediately asking if it's still on the table, before we even party or hang out or anything.
I'm just not associating with groups of plush suiters anymore. I'm just out here to entertain and have a good time.

resonates with me so much more as time goes on.
But for years now, I felt like I was going insane for being like "I don't like half the people that show up at these in-person events" when everyone else seemed to just be vibing. Now suddenly I'm terrified of being associated with pedophiles. I'm so done.
I started a chatroom for this stuff years ago, because every other one was so egregiously terrible and I had nothing better to do during the pandemic. But I'm just so tired, man. Don't get me wrong, I know a lot of plush suiters at this point that are super cool and chill etc.
We've done

threads before, but it's always just links to bandcamps. Let's showcase ourselves here! Post a vid of something you've made that actually sounds good and isn't just "Haha I say funny buzz words like horse cock"
Here's something I'm working on now!
This is ridiculous of DenFur to not allow promotion of outside events. I get not allowing to tape things to the walls, if that was even the case. But people promote their art businesses, their conventions, etc etc on the hotel tables at every convention. What's the deal??
quick favor
i made these fliers to promote my show, but they were all removed by con staff for “advertising an event outside of the con” (i was STRONGLY reprimanded by con ops. not fun)
would you mind coming to my show? i’m scared of performing by myself in a public space :(
A LOT of y'all need to learn that positive stereotypes are still incredibly harmful, inappropriate, and scream that you're not actually an ally, even if you're trying to be. Be better.
If Cassidy's behavior is concerning to you, I suggest emailing your favorite cons and telling them what's up. Let em know your personal stories, if you have them. A lot of event organizers aren't on Twitter. They don't know about any of this stuff. Let em know.
Lets do another
#FurryMusicianThread
! Links aren't great for twitter, so drop a video of stuff you're working on!! Here's a battle theme for an imaginary video game I'm working on! What have y'all been working on? Strut your stuff!
I've been seeing some threads go around, so I wanted to clear things up as a Plush Fursuiter and core staff member of Anthro New England.
Let's clear up the subcategories of Fursuits we allow in convention spaces! Our CoC states the following:
HEY YALL! I'm a guest artist on
@MAJICREC
's new album Lylat Wars, coming out TOMORROW. Make sure you pre-save and stream this on Spotify as much as you can this weekend! Check the thread below for deets! And RT this cute fursuit photo!
Listen, I've made threads before about how I think compensation packages for performers at conventions should be much more publically known, but I guess it's time for another 🧵
Furry Weekend Atlanta: FUTUREPUNK | May 8-11, 2025
If the people that directly witnesses your ingrained racism don't want to give you the time of day, don't want to give you respect, and generally don't wanna fuck with you anymore, then live with that guilt. You can't undo it, you can only make a conscious effort to be better.
It hasn't even been a month since some dude went on Fox News and botched our public image, giving a bunch of ammo to the right-wing. Now y'all are trying to make our fandom look like a street gang. What the actual fuck is wrong with y'all.
But the only way we do that is by making sure we make it absolutely clear: This fandom is NOT for zoophiles. Whether it's anthro art, feral art, or whatever, if we're hosting the art we're also somewhat responsible for moderating it's consummation.
Attention:
This is no longer a Cassidy Civet fan account.
The original creator handed over access, and revealed they have not touched this account since May 2023.
This thread is to document how Cassidy has used the account since then.
Thank you for cooperating, Kasai.
But in both scenarios, engaging in those spaces means you MUST make sure the pedos and zoos are expunged, because if that door is open, they're gonna walk right in. You make em uncomfortable. You sure as hell don't start using their jargon and uwu'ing.
You see, there is irony to this. These were tweeted before this doc was released. The TLDR; Fox said they were chill with me and Remy to my face, then, out of nowhere started harassing us online. We didn't respond to any of it publicly. It'd make way more sense to have ignored us
Expecting to be rewarded for apologizing and owning up to your whiteness is...well, the whitest shit ever. Just shut up, apologize, take the L, and move on. Let the fact that there's nothing you can do to make those people ever grant you respect again...give you some perspective.
If that's such a tough pill to swallow, step back for a second and realize how it feels to be hated, knowing you can't do shit about it. Because when you're doing racist shit, that's the message you're sending. That's what you're inflicting on others. Reap what you fucking sow.
We've been having this argument about ABDL stuff forever too, and how it's prone to attract pedophiles. But not every adult that wants to wear a diaper is a pedo. And with that same logic, I'd believe not everyone into feral art is a zoophile.
No one seems to have a problem with all the dildos and fleshlights this fandom produces, and doesn't see it as a dogwhistle for zoophilia.
Furthermore, we have been rallying against the notion that the fandom/fursuits/anthro art is NOT a dogwhistle for zoophilia.
If you were to go to the theater and the main actor took off half his costume in the middle of the representation and then took a break right in the middle of the stage, would you be happy?
No, im pretty sure you would feel it as a lack of respect to the public and other actors.
Imagine Post-WW2 Germany saying "We need a Nazi party, we need opposition". This isn't hyperbolic. The Republican Party cheered on literal Nazis. A Nazi flag was flown in the White House. You can't say it's "not that bad" anymore.
You don't host a huge open party with an open bar and go "I just don't feel like checking IDs it burns me out and I know I don't support minors drinking so it's not my responsibility". Then have minors at the party and go "woopsy I just learned their 16 oh well"
Ya know, for a fandom that's built off of the expectation that you'll be representing yourself as something completely physically (and sometimes psychologically) different than your actual body, it's insane that we're scrutinizing over people's physical forms.
What gets me is how twitterbrained this whole shit is. It's so stupid. "It burns me out too much to curate and research who's following me" lock the fuckin' account, or delete it then. It's a stupid social media account. literally 1s and 0s. Get over yourself.
I'm seeing an "every car I've owned" meme, so here's a friendly reminder than many sites use "what was your first make and model car" as a security question. So BE CAREFUL YALL!!
And...I can't believe I have to say this one...
Yes, you can wear a Fursuit in a wheelchair. Wheelchairs are disability devices that are ADA compliant.
YOUR BITCHSUIT IS NOT ADA COMPLIANT.
Put that on a T-shirt.
My teeth may look sharp, but no worries, they're just as soft as the rest of me! And the stitching on my tongue is very refined, you really should get a closer look~

So anyway music update.
Fall EP is done, ready to submit but it Christmas so like, we're gonna drop it early next year.
And my most energetic and flashy song to date, Evil Containment Wave, is also done! This one's truly a banger. Like it came out so good.
Stay tuned!
That callout doc isn't ever being posted, because there's nothing in it.
The rhetoric that it's because of the "sensitive nature" of the document is such an obvious copout. We got harassed for weeks online, everyone was being told "all will be revealed" but nothing was.
And then make a twitter apology video and go "Well I know I wouldn't ever support that but it's too much to check IDs so oh well guess it's gonna happen". Don't host the fucking party. Don't host the feral porn twitter account.
Over the years of running ANE's talent department, I've gotten a lot of criticism about our Animal Music concert prioritizing bands over solo musicians. So this year, I fixed it! We had such amazing talent playing all over the con, I'm so proud of all of y'all!
