Goodbye for now sweet books…ours will be a temporary parting…
It kinda comes down to the fact that furry made me feel better about not knowing who I was a person in my late teens/early 20s. It was a place that I could experiment with my identity and where I still can. And I think it should be that kind of space for anyone who wants to inhabit it
Cleaning through my old stuff and I just hit the jackpot uwaaaa
In retrospect I think it was kinda cool to be 16 in 2008. The world was a total mess and the economy was in shambles but there was also a vague sense of optimism you couldn’t help but feel. But this was also the age when I discovered furry, so my experience might be colored by that discovery
I think “furry” is a term that can mean almost anything at this point, but for me identifying as furry has helped me keep in touch not just with friends but with certain values; curiosity and openness towards others, a DIY attitude to art, a belief that communities can transcend time and space
There’s a lot of handwringing about generational values in this fandom and whether furry will get corporatized or wherever, but I think at the end of the day furry is what we do with it. If we can live valuing each other and our respective creative abilities, we can make furry mean something good
Can you believe this thing is like 11 years old lol
there are only about 80 copies left of A Town Called Collegeville. every remaining order of the book will come with both postcard and sticker sheet.
