This news is illegal in Russia. In late November 2023, Russia's supreme court declared the movement for gay rights to be "extremist." Mentioning LGBTQ activity without condemning it can get you fined, imprisoned, deprived of bank accounts, and worse. The New York Times says "any news organization, blogger or even an individual" is at risk. Russian homophobes have pushed for this authoritarian rule for a long time....

Content warning for discussing animal and child abuse. Adam Britton was once an internationally respected animal expert, a go-to guy for crocodile research. He worked for Charles Darwin University in Australia, National Geographic, and the BBC with famed nature documentarian David Attenborough. Then in 2022, Britton was caught for secret crime. The legal process kept him anonymous to avoid undermining his trial, until he pled guilty this week....

Please send confidential tips to: [email protected] In June, Dogpatch Press was approached by a company "developing a documentary that takes place in the world of furries." True-crime was mentioned. This is something that Dogpatch Press covers -- and isn't a bad thing to ask, by itself. Whenever media producers make contact, first they are checked to see if they're real people with a history of solid work....

The gall of these people. Peter S. Beagle created The Last Unicorn, made millions of fans happy, then got dragged through elder abuse and had to go to court to stop it. In his 70's, Peter was supposed to be making his magic and enjoying the golden years. Instead he had to spend years of battling his former manager, Connor Cochran, who was found liable for financial elder abuse, fraud, breach of fiduciary duty, and defamation....

Blood was drawn by violence between furries in California's Huntington Beach, raising hype and misinformation. The hot-button term "n**i" is part of the story. So is years of peaceful history for hundreds of members, even when a fight between a few of them is like red meat for media vultures who don't care about the background. Here's a story for readers who want the truth, with witness evidence....

2018 story The Diversity of the Latin American Furry Fandom is background for visiting Mexico's largest furry con in October 2022. Young Mexicans told me that Confuror has taken off to be their first full-fledged con and a beacon for fandom there. It succeeded after they only had meet-sized events that came and went, and wished for ones like North Americans have....

A reality show casting call is raising hackles. It presses a hot button of sensitive history. The media can inform and debunk fake news to help us all; but sometimes it lies to make a quick buck or serve the powerful. (Skip this if you already know about "The Media.") A dogma exists among furries that reporting is offensive, rather than anger at offensive reporting....

Good news helps in bad times. Russian furries like to be part of worldwide fandom, and Erwin, a member of Moscow Furries, has a story about game activities they do in a park.

AI art tools made me think of a term: sequential juxtaposition acceleration. An AI tool starts with scraping millions of pre-made images from the net. That's a learning set to combine and interpolate. Prompt it with key words (green grass, old building), and you get approximations of everything that matches. One could call this a form of cheating artists, because people don't like the scraping of pre-made sources without permission....

1980's furry fans first gathered with room parties at science fiction conventions, until Sylys Sable helped co-found the first convention for furries in 1989.
