Words of Wisdom from The Dalai Lama

I urge young women to accept leadership roles. We need you to promote love and compassion. Realise my dream—that the 200 nations of the world be governed by women. There’ll be less war, violence, and economic and social injustice because strength is rooted in love and compassion

THE FURSUIT OF HAPPINESS

Mel Magazine recently published a truly interesting article on Furries and mental health.

They go into stories of 2 people Ben and Max and of how being a furry has helped them enjoy life to the fullest.

To better spread (and back up) this message, Roberts co-founded the International Anthropomorphic Research Project, a collective of academics dedicated to producing evidence-based research on furry culture and providing insights about it to therapists. “Sometimes I might encourage a therapist working with a furry who has a fursuit to have them bring in their costume to the session, and use that as part of a conversation,” Roberts says. “In most cases, furries won’t actually have a suit, in which case I’d encourage them to engage with the fursona in different ways and to be interested in the relationship the [patient] has with their fursona as a way of exploring their emotions.”

The article goes in to much more detail than I can go into here. But if your curious it’s only a click away HERE
