Slightly rebranding my blog/online identity. I still identify strongly with dogs but I think I wanna distance myself a little from The Furry Community™️, who I'm decreasingly interested in being involved with beyond the friends and loved ones I already have1. Also, this makes it easier to have my blog up during downtime at work without the possibility of people looking over my shoulder and seeing My Fursona.

Anyway, this avatar is Tsigy, the mascot of the Yiddish Book Center.


  1. That is to say, not disinterested in being associated with People Who Are Furries, but rather, The Furry Community™️ as an organized community that has meetups and conventions and the such centered around Being Furries.
