what an amazing event!! I'm so happy I got to catch this live online and ask some questions - even if it meant getting up way too early!

Spent the day with @furrystudies.org and it was amazing. An academic lens on Furry and its place in the culture/art/identity/world. This stuff matters. We matter. Go out. Be Furry. Be yourselves. Be ourselves. Huge respect to the organizers and presenters. <3 You're laying the foundation.

furry studies rocked so hard it's unreal. boundless love and gratitude to everyone involved ♥️
