Comments
As one of the resident furry lurkers in this here Patreon, it's very funny listening to Heath very carefully describing furry in as few words as possible while trying not to say any of the really weird parts.

2024-07-19 03:18:08 +0000 UTCI became a patron over the coverage of the Heritage Foundation hack. I love the punning, but I wanted so much more. We desperately need to teach Heath more furry vocabulary so we can get proper pun coverage next time.
