The State of F.A.

 

Things are developing at Fur Affinity, a leading "furry art" site with restrictions that pertain to any character that may be ab/dl (or any combination), an age regressor in a regressed state and so on drawn as either a straight picture in a cartoon form.

Now we'd all agree no child should ever be shown in a "adult", "kink" or related scene but then these relate to characters that are legally adult and can be made unavailable to children then it odd to say the least they should seek to ban it when such art is legal in the country the site server is resident.

Of itself it doesn't bother me personally as the state of my paws I can do little drawing and in any event it isn't what I produce but more it would prevent me from reading things that I find informative even if as with Ab/Dl it's not thing I'm personally into so I can better understand the lives of those who are.

Some I do follow are planning on leaving which does rather pose the question why would I hang around a site those I know are no longer active in.

A Thousand times ago

 

I wish I could offer people a 100 Day satisfaction guarantee but in 1,000 editions of it since its conception around 2006 I don't think we've made anything much beyond a post replacement guarantee if it gets eaten by Blogger or some aspect or other causes concerns.

We got going in March 2006 when MySpace, Friends Reunited, Tinier Me and Best Stuff were still things and not ancient memories of the early era of Social Media and where over time this blog replaced a limited blogging facility at Friends Reunited.

I did talk About Me with some initial bullet points and actually we ought to renew them.

 * I no longer work because I became too ill to work

* Don't feel old even though the bones do complain cos for me that's been there from childhood and isn't associated with age.

* I do l still like music, reading magazines and websites about artists and recordings although traditional paper magazines have been decimated by social media sites and online only publications.

* Am addicted to cute things even if people of the same bone years tm find that embarrassing.

*Think Anime is the best form of animation, ever

* Feel having a laugh and a joke matters.

* I understood I loved bringing out and using my child-like side and did more around that as it also kept me calm.

It doesn't mean you don't some thousand issues on mean you don't get some who really don't understand that to like resembling more of that eternal girl you doesn't mean you're in any way interested in what is called "Adult stuff". It gives me an ikky feeling in my tummy just associating childhood and that stuff with it.

This blog came before all others so we really got into things around current affairs, pop culture and music  and looks cos that's what interests me and for a period we had followers from a music forum where it was listed as sometimes I'd take a discussion from there to here with my own take on it free from some of the moderation issues the site had which was awkward when you were a moderator there too for a period.

In many ways this still is the case really anyway that these days on here I'm open about that younger girl side although that is mainly kept to its own spot where it doesn't get in way of all else and some of the discourse around topics under that can get heavy going so it's better seperated off even if there's only one me.

Here's to the next 1,000 posts!

Restorations from the past

After that rather yukky week we resume going backwards a bit really to something that tended to be on the turntable whenever I was off school which was quite a bit.

Back then we had a wooden rack on wheels on which the stereo unit tended to live with its turntable and cassette deck and a section on the bottom left left that functioned as a record storage rack area although there was a supplementary one in the dining room.

First move after getting some breakfast was to pull two or three records out to play between anything on the radio of interest such as an hour vintage chart show or a lunchtime classical concert and a favourite was Dvorak's Ninth Symphony.

For me Rafael Kubelik's 1973 recording with the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra was the finest ever and I was not alone in that, many still consider it so not that there are some excellent also runs with its iconic picture of the New York skyline with the sadly missed Twin Towers with conductor walking.

That record went several years back with compact discs coming in and having suffered a bit a wear and tear in over thirty years but a week ago it returned.

It was reissued in a special series of remastered and recut for higher fidelity records and now sounds better than ever so I've been playing that this week.
 

jjj

Recovering

 

Tis a rough day here in the dorm so I'm having to stay indoors take lemsips and cough mixture as I have the flu as we sit through the various Party Conferences and continue to digest all those very naughty reverlations about taking super expensive free things wrapped around the Prime Minister and Chancellor.

To think it wasn't long ago they went on about the previous governement doing the same!

When I'm like this, the little side needs looking after so out come the teddies and plushies sos they do help keep my spirits up which helps when you feel your body had been on the end of bruising boxing match and I do tend to read read things I loved apart from playing a bit of music like my Brahms Symphonies on record.

Among the thiongs I love reading are old Guides and Brownies annuals as they do help cheer me up with makes, stories and things that take me back to the past.

Hopefully We'll be feeling bettter next week.
