A simmering threat [2026]

Washington is on the volcanically active Pacific Ring of Fire. It’s famous for the 1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens, when the volcano went through months of earthquakes and swelled with magma until it exploded. It released 24 megatons of energy, left a mile-wide crater, killed 57 people, devastated hundreds of miles of land, and was the most financially destructive volcanic event in US history. It caused major new awareness of disaster preparation. Today deep under the mountain, a complex, interconnected magmatic system makes the next eruption an even bigger threat; not if, but when it comes.

This isn’t the story of a natural threat, but another socially-constructed one below the surface.

In October 2026, a Washington furry named Matthew “Cupid” Grabowsky is set to be released from jail. He’ll be on parole for his second conviction for preying on children and animals. Grabowsky did it in a ring of people like him in the Pacific Northwest furry community, who present as regular community members, but keep another face hidden. His return is being watched by people whose warnings were brushed off, before and after he was caught — and those who know how many uncaught ring members are still where they always have been.

When Grabowsky was first arrested, he was at the epicenter of a quake under the community. Members scrambled to hide or face heat from the police. It shook out some buried corruption, and would make one organizer factory-reset his phone to hide involvement. A few ring members took the blame, but most of the evidence was buried, with friends helping to smooth it over. The impact was shallow in the end, and aftershocks weren’t seen as connected. There was no map to monitor the fault lines. The few other ring members who got caught were seen as internet denizens, not as part of a specific real life scene that connects offline, which helps it to stay underground.

Slightly Furry’s ciders win prizes, but how do you rate their handling of a zoophile owner?

by Patch O'Furr

People love a business run by and for their community. A place that knows you and welcomes your friends, run by people you trust, who answer your concerns.

Seattle’s Slightly Furry cultivated that look for their cider making brand, while reaping support like $73,000 in donations to their for-profit business. It lifted them above fandom by converting popularity into sales, getting their product in stores and bars, with mainstream news and festival prizes.

As Slightly Furry promoted being ambassadors for the furry fandom to the public, watchdogs started raising concerns about shady management that ignored community interest. Initial complaint emerged from ConStaffWatch on July 16, then was reported by professional investigator Naia Ōkami on August 3, after she was banned and censored for trying to engage them for questions. Dogpatch Press also sent questions on August 12, which were knowingly received with no answer, then published a report on August 22.

ZOOPHILES FACE JAIL AND FURY: Adam Britton, Lucas VanWoert, and Seattle’s Slightly Furry

by Patch O'Furr

(Content warning.)

Three stories with one cause

It was a major week of news for activists against animal abuse, especially the kind that comes from zoophile networking.

AUSTRALIA: Adam Britton was once a prominent zoologist, but now he’s a convicted serial killer of pet dogs. International media featured Britton’s August 8 sentence to 10 years in jail. Outside the court, activists protested for better animal protection, followed by a unity walk with Kiki’s Justice, an awareness campaign named for one of Britton’s victims. The worldwide shock of the case is documentary-worthy.

OHIO: Britton’s online accomplice was Lucas Vanwoert, a truck driver, furry and dog torture-killer. His wife Heather VanWoert was convicted for participating in the crimes, but released in May after a short sentence. It’s a wake-up call about abusers in the furry community. Many furries oppose abuse, but are troubled by how others enable lovers, friends or business partners involved.

SEATTLE: furry brand Slightly Furry brews cider, runs a taphouse, and has an owner named “Kompy” involved in zoophile networking. Watchdogs aired evidence at the same time as Slightly Furry ran a crowdfund and raised over $73,000 from donors to support their for-profit business. Slightly Furry refuses to respond about Kompy’s corruption — except by censoring and banning people who ask questions. Why do they refuse to explain this to the community, after taking so much support and calling their business an ambassadorship of furry to the general public? What will stop the enabling, after Pacific Northwest furries already faced exposure of a shocking abuse ring?
