Paul Hoffmanpaulehoffman@infosec.exchangeMay 28, 2025, 6:13 PM@sophieschmieg Do you actually care what anyone coming from there thinks of you?

@paulehoffman that's what the fursona is *for*. To underscore how much I do not care.

@sophieschmieg Oh, my. I get the impression that people with public fursonas care a great deal that the rest of us pay attention to the fact that they have fursonas. This is not a criticism of those who care a lot about this: I spent decades making sure people saw me letting my freak flag fly, and it still slips out from time to time.

@paulehoffman @sophieschmieg Some maybe helpful context: Every time I write about something vaguely technical, the accompanying Hacker News comment thread has folks complaining about the furry art.
(My blog is a furry blog, dammit.)
May 29, 2025, 9:10 AM@soatok @paulehoffman @sophieschmieg That tells me you post too few technical things. And too few furry art.
