Asexuality in the Furry Community
What is asexuality? What does it have to do with being a furry? Join Darby as we learn about asexuality and the ace spectrum and discuss how it intersects with being a furry. Allies, non-ace folks and curious fuzzies are always welcome!
Eco-Furs!
Snow leopards, african wild dogs, tigers, red pandas, and lynx. What do they all have in common? They are popular fursonas among furries, and also endangered species in the wild! How can we, as fuzzies who like to dress up as animals, help to save our actual furry ancestors? We will discuss about how we can reduce our environmental impact and help to save wild animals.
