Racist violence in Belfast.
It's frightening how effectively the Russia-backed far right, assisted by Trump-linked Musk, can fan the flames in Europe.

As we all know, distance is a bitch, but you know what?
If I think about how my friends are scattered over the country it also gives me a feeling of comfort that no matter where I am, there is some sort of safety net, I can rely on.

Taking care of each other is powerful.

When I visited Portland, there were so many tweakers and a furry at the convention literally got beat the hell up.
A friend mine sent me a furry chat up there and it was just filled with a decent amount of people talking about their drug addictions and delusions, was incredibly scary.
To top it off, many of the worst ind…
