Starting this month off with something different, I wanted to share my personal anecdote for my journey through the marvelous thing that is the furry community. We’ve discussed politics from all over the world, but have only briefly touched upon furry related topics, but let’s change that. As

One of the most iconic examples is the May 1968 general strike. What began as student protests against university conditions quickly escalated into a nationwide movement involving millions of workers, paralyzing public services, transportation, and industries.

As of now, according to official data alone, over 58,000 people have been killed in the Gaza Strip. Unfortunately, among the left, one can still encounter incorrect or overly simplistic opinions regarding the events in Palestine.
