The original post was actually pretty good and talked about how reliable of commissioners the furry community were for a struggling artist.

But aight lmao

for anyone who chose not to read the post:

• artist needed money for college, people from tumblr/dA told them their prices were too expensive and that no one would commission them.
• artist was desperate and logged on to their old Furaffinity account to take commissions
• artist got a shitton of commissions and everyone was supportive and encouraging
• people ended up tipping the artist 10-20$ per commission because they thought the artist was undercharging
  

tl;dr - furries supported artist and treated them better than the “pro-artist” sides of dA and tumblr.

without u gross furries i woulda been starving at various points in the past few years. so thank you. also fuck off op

furries on FA have commissioned me more than assholes on this site.

“Two years after “Sesame Street” debuted an autistic Muppet named Julia on their digital program, the orange-haired tyke is now going to appear on the actual television show.

“It’s tricky because Autism is not one thing, because it is different for every single person who has autism. There is an expression that goes, ‘If you’ve met one person with Autism, you’ve met one person with Autism,’” “Sesame Street” writer Christine Ferraro told “60 Minutes” reporter Lesley Stahl on.

If the character of Julia does her job, Ferraro added, “when [children] encounter [people with disabilities] in their real life it’s familiar. And they see that these — these can be their friends too.”

A survey released by the Kennedy Krieger Institute in Baltimore and Johns Hopkins University in 2012 found that 63 percent of children with autism spectrum disorders had been bullied. They were three times more likely to experience bullying than their non-autistic peers.”

For real, people don’t understand how important this is because little kids who are autistic are going to feel validated and important because of her

Eyricka Morgan, 26, was a black transgender woman. She was a student at Rutgers University in New Jersey. She was an activist.  

Transgender women of color experience disproportionate levels of hate violence compared to other members of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community, facing challenges and struggles that are uniquely framed by the intersecting nature of their marginalized identity framework.

Nettles’ friends spoke up against this mistreatment. After Eyricka died, we, her friends, had two options: Speak up or remain silent. As cisgender allies we could choose to do our part to ensure Eyricka’s story was shared, or we could do nothing. But true allies are not absent when they are needed most.

Many trans women of color are fighting just to live, and dream of stopping the onslaught of violence in their lives. Among LGBTQ communities, trans people are most susceptible to police violence; trans women in particular are most likely to be killed by hate violence homicides, according to the advocacy organization the Anti-Violence Project.

“Black trans women should never have to live in fear that today will be their last day,” Elle Hearns, a field coordinator at the LGBTQ advocacy organization Get Equal, told AlterNet. “It is a national emergency that we must pay attention to by taking action to support and sustain the lives of trans women who are under attack.”

Trans women of color need us all to listen to their stories when they are alive so that we are not grief-stricken when they are slain. We could all have fewer occasions to shed tears if we followed the lead of trans women of color in the fight to end trans antagonistic violence now. Eyricka, Tamara, Elisha, Shade, Amber, Kandis, Papi, Lamia, Ty, Yazmin, Taja, Penny, Kristina, Keyshia, London, Mercedes, India, K.C. and so many other trans women of color killed deserve more than silence. It takes self-reflection and determined effort to overcome complacency in a society that often treats those who defy rigid cultural norms — like gender nonconforming and transgender people — as unworthy of respect or safety, but it should not have to take a friend’s death to remind us to speak up.
