Taylor Irwin, a muscular male kangaroo wearing black exercise shorts, grimaces and struggles as he does a back squat with a cartoonishly-large dumbbell with five black plates on either side. He's sweating, baring his teeth, his eyes closed, as he tries to lift this immense weight.

Commission for IapetusCas! Irwin very clearly demonstrating that it takes a lot of effort to get a body that looks like that. πŸ¦˜πŸ‹οΈβ€β™‚οΈ

I agree with everyone in the replies, furscience and the FWG sound looks great options to explore this hypothetical survey!!

Thumbs, a 3-panel comic:

1. A tiger sits up alone on his bed, looking at his phone. 

2. β€œIt was real nice seeing you again tonight. I haven’t stopped smiling.” The Tiger wrote.

He then receives three responses that seem like gibberish. Someone struggling to convey their thought. Auto-correct clearly failing them. But the tiger can understand the message.

β€œI like you, too.”

3. A wolf sits alone on his bed, looking at his phone. Struggling to hold the device in his two dog-paw hands. Without thumbs, he can only nap his screen to text as best as he can. For the first time, he feels understood. 

β€”β€”

There once was a wolf, believe it or not,
With floppy grey ears and a snout like a blot.
But what made him so strange, if you count all his claws,
Instead of two hands, he was born with two paws

Looks like I have a couple things nominated!
If you enjoyed my anthology 'Echoes' or the story 'Amongst the Upright Ones', please consider voting for them!

Either way, you should go vote for your favourites...there are a lot of great writers represented among the nominees!

My novel The Blood of Life has been nominated for an Ursa Major Award! I'm supper thrilled about that. Also, my short story "The Package" has been nominated for best short story. I've very honored to have my work nominated, and if you want them to win, go over and vote for them!

We live in capitalism. Its power seems inescapable. So did the divine right of kings. Any human power can be resisted and changed by human beings. Resistance and change often begin in art, and very often in our art, the art of words.

If you have need of an award winning and extremely literary queer writer for a paid gig please send it his way as well. Rob will not steer you wrong. Rob has helped manage and plan multiple published anthologies too for what it's worth.

To each of you,

Be defiant. Do your best. Get in good trouble. Have community. Be weird. Be kinky. Above all, be you and LIVE.

Don’t let the manufactured horrors of this world snuff your human spirit.

Good is the light you bring, damned be the dark they sling.

You are loved.

You catch along the desert sun a shirtless cowboy bear approaching over and waving you a welcome. The bear gives you a welcoming smile as he introduces himself.

We thought we were facing this month on no food stamps, but a tiny bit of income.

Turns out we're facing this month on no food stamps AND no income.

I'm so tired.
