Ria got involved in "Furry" fandom a decade ago, drawn to this fuzzy niche culture by its emphasis on creativity and quirky social gatherings.

In tandem, a sexual element began to become more prevalent, with a disturbing amount of "minor-att...

DR. ROLLERGATOR was making waves on twitter until he crossed a line. (A very silly line, but still.)

In this discussion, we talk about media narratives and power politics and how he sees conspiracies everywhere, while still not be...

I spoke with Torren at the end of 2020 about his struggles with gender, black and white thinking, and Obsessive-Compulsive ideation.
