# Furry

I'm not even ashamed now, I'm a furry. Don't like it? Call 1-800-IMA-JERK.

As of 2024-09-08, my fursona is Mosfet.

black) fur.](img/index/mosfet-ref-rev1.1.png)

This refsheet was drawn with my own two paws.

## Personal reflections

## Why

Look. I use a kernel with an (unofficial) furry mascot. I use a DE with
a furry mascot. I listen to a band with a furry mascot. Do I really need
to keep going?

In 2022 I wrote a post titled [I Respect
Furries](../random/i_respect_furries.md), which may be _an_ origin story.
