HFY - Humanity Fuck Yeah! is a community for writers and artists to showcase their talent in the HFY genre and for people who enjoy them.
While traditional science fiction often presents humans as vulnerable masses seeking refuge from menacing aliens or as feeble beings overshadowed by aliens with superior logic, strength or empathy. HFY disrupts these archetypes by challenging the norm.
In the world of HFY, humanity is bestowed with exceptional qualities, giving rise to a sense of optimism and empowerment within the reader. It seeks to uplift and inspire, demonstrating the potential of human greatness and the capacity for overcoming seemingly insurmountable odds.

Now that I think about it, there was also a porcupine at the event with the armadillo. As long as you pet in the direction the quills lay, you're fine. Pet the other way... well, I didn't try it but I don't think the outcome would be very comfortable.
Absolutely! I also learned that they can’t shoot/fling their quills out, which I thought they could do for most of my life!
