So, while I'm not as active in the furry community as I used to be, I still have accounts on FurAffinity, InkBunny, SoFurry, Weasyl and FurryNetwork. Weird thing is that the latter isn't being updated any more, when I browse artwork sorted by latest posting, that page hasn't changed in weeks, one of the pics on the bottom row is from 3 July! Also the one or two people I'm following haven't posted in at least a month, maybe more. Anyone know what's going on?
@Lexi Yeah, I still had an account over there, so I hit it once a week to see what's new, and for the last month, the answer to that has been 1-2 pieces compared to the previous 2 to 3 pages.
The image shows a screenshot of a tweet. The tweet is from a user named "Rabbit Cohen" with the handle "[@]BathysphereHat." The background of the tweet is dark, and the text is white, making it stand out clearly. The tweet reads: "It's incredible how 'if we meet people's basic needs, they'll stop working' and 'billionaires are hard workers' coexist in people's minds." The text is centered and occupies most of the space in the image. The user's profile picture is a circular image of a person with glasses and dark makeup, but the face is not visible. The overall layout is simple, with the user's name and handle at the top, followed by the tweet text.

The image is a cartoon featuring two dogs sitting at a table in a diner. The dog on the left is light brown with a white muzzle and is wearing a collar with a tag. It is holding a can labeled "ARE" and looking at the other dog with a puzzled expression. The dog on the right is white with a black patch over one eye and is also wearing a collar with a tag. It is holding a bone and a can labeled "ARE," and has a phone on the table that is ringing. The dog on the right responds to the other dog's question with "No collar ID." The background is simple, with a wooden panel wall. The comic strip is titled "Bizarro" and includes the date "2.23.19" and the artist's signature "Wayno." The website "Bizarro.com" and the Facebook page "Facebook.com/BizarroComics" are also visible at the top of the image.

The image is a political graphic divided into two sections. On the left, there is a portrait of a man in a suit and tie, with a blurred face. On the right, there is another man in a suit and tie, also with a blurred face, standing in front of a building that resembles a state capitol with a dome and an American flag. The text overlay is in bold, yellow and black, with some words in red. The text reads: "STUART ADAMS, THE REPUBLICAN PRESIDENT OF THE UTAH SENATE, JUST INTERVENED TO LOOSEN THE AGE OF CONSENT LAWS AFTER AN ADULT WAS CHARGED WITH HAVING SEX WITH A 13-YEAR-OLD CHILD. THE ADULT IS A RELATIVE OF ADAMS. MAGA'S ENTIRE PURPOSE IS TO PROTECT PEDOS!" The text is critical of Stuart Adams and suggests that his actions are part of a broader movement to protect pedophiles.

This is child trafficking: Russia launches 'catalog' of #UkrainianChildren for adoption, sorted by eye and hair color
#Russian #occupation authorities in Ukraine created an online "catalog" where #Ukrainian children are offered up for #adoption while sorted based on physical traits like eye or hair color, a head of a Ukrainian NGO said on Aug. 6, denouncing the practice as child trafficking.
The database, which includes data on 294 #children, is available on the education department of the Russian occupation authorities in Luhansk Oblast.
"Most children in this catalog were born in Luhansk Oblast before the Russian occupation and had Ukrainian citizenship," Mykola Kuleba, CEO of the Save Ukraine organization, said in an Instagram post.
"Parents of some of them were killed by occupation authorities, others were simply issued Russian identification documents to legitimize their abduction."
"Parents of some of them were killed by occupation authorities, others were simply issued Russian identification documents to legitimize their abduction," said Mykola Kuleba, head of the Save Ukraine organization.
The image features a dark background with white and orange text. At the top, in large white letters, it reads "MY POLITICAL PHILOSOPHY IS VERY SIMPLE:". Below this, there are four numbered points, each with a statement in white text, with the key terms "education," "health care," "social security," and "medicare or medicaid" highlighted in orange. The points are:
"Don't cut education to give tax cuts to the rich."
"Don't cut health care to give tax cuts to the rich."
"Don't cut social security to give tax cuts to the rich."
"Don't cut medicare or medicaid to give tax cuts to the rich."
The text is presented in a clear, structured format, emphasizing the message that the author's political philosophy is focused on not cutting essential public services to benefit the wealthy.
