Full time skunk, part time golden retriever. I love to make your convention something special to remember.

I have never been to Megaplex. It felt bad that they had to go 18+ due to shitty Florida politics years ago. I'm seeing on TikTok people being angry at the large increase in adult themed panels (you know which panels). Hot take, wanting an 18+ con means it might result in much more 18+ themes 1/2

My locals furry chat is the a handful of us in our mid 40s and lots of college age to 30ish year olds. Every so often I notice these media gaps. They dont know who put the peaches in a can. I have no idea wtf Drake & Josh is, I was graduating college when that came out. Found another last night.

I play Ragnarök Online with a group of people that I am very clearly an outsider in. Tonight we watched Kiki's Delivery Service as a group of 20 people chatting. I had not seen it before but the symbolism was so super obvious, so I helped explain the themes to the group. That's a nice movie.

I am just reallly not well. I have cried sporadically this week. I had to just straight up mute myself on a call because I couldn't say something. I am trying my best and its not good. I have no guage if im doing good or bad or what.

It seems like (and a few have explicitly stated) that many cons are heavily weighting their dealer selection process towards artists selling pre-made merchandise over artists doing at-con art-on-demand. There’s certainly room for everyone but the proportions seem skewed right now.

Ive done a lot of really cool things and im proud of what ive done and built... but today was fucked and I'm getting fucked up tonight. I marked myself out of office, fuck everything.

I helped end another cost savings project at work today. My job seems to be defending against people who come up with brilliant ideas with Claude. I had to prove which assumption it made was wrong to convince them.

So my wierd story for anthrocon, someone knocked on our door at 1am saying they hid some liquor in our room a year ago. It was just too late, we've got a dealers table to wake up to and all that, maybe later guys. The next morning I investigated though... and... uhh.. yep.

4th of July at #anthrocon was fun. I took my kigu and newer pup mask out. Not something I normally wear around. I wanted to wear the full fursuit but fireworks + contacts instead of glasses wouldn't be great. Anyway it was fun... little hot.

I am at Anthrocon, I saw someone in the elevator wearing 3 MFF lanyards so I had just pop in.. those look awesome! I suck at starting random conversations... I designed what you are wearing is the only hope I've got.

Given that there is extreme heat.. going to a convention... do I bring long jeans? Nah. Do I bring any jackets? No the night low is 70 degrees. Do I bring a full body fur costume... hrmmm... I hate having to decide.
