Welcome to the April[sic - should have been March] edition of Digging Up Positivity, this month:

• An update on all the furry charities around the world
• How Coyote vs Acme got saved from the Shelf
• Cattbutt controllers (who writes this stuff)
• And our special guest is the amazing pie-tactic Duino Duck!

But first, lets start it with our charity update!

The Advocate reports that the SiegedSec “furry” hacker that had leaked the Heritage Foundation’s Project 2025 plans has been raided by the FBI. The raid on Vio was revealed on the site formerly known as Twitter by one of the hacker’s contacts, whose relations were confirmed by journalists who originally covered the story.

The article indicates that while the Project 2025 leak was SiegedSec’s most well known hack, there were other actions they had taken that may be under investigation. This includes hacks against state websites in response to anti-trans legislation, and a hack of the Idaho National Laboratory.

It was a Sunday morning, and dozens of furries squished together at the back of Moynihan Train Hall (connected to Penn Station) in New York City. As more rail passengers were gathering to have a bite in the food court, the furries decided to move to an empty hallway near the west exit. Badges were handed out. On them: "NYC FurWalk".

This was the second fursuit walk around Manhattan, organized by Champion Zane and Fane Vuh'uni, two furs from New Jersey. (The irony is not lost on them.) The first, held at the start of February, had ten partial fursuiters and around twenty participants, Zane told me. The second, held last weekend, attracted around 70 furries, with just over two dozen suiters, and one who brought her full fursuit. Most of the non-suiters wore furry-designed shirts.
