I got sick as fuck at Reffurence and I'm still recovering from it so not a lot of stories and media from my adventures but I had a good time :D it's been great to work on SysInt with these folks running up to the con and was fantastic to see everyone there <3

Reffurence IT Staff photoshoot taken by Replic. A bunch of nerds (and a couple of fursuiters) with some funny inflatables in front of a backdrop of soft fabric and pillows.

I worked on this, very proud of all the hard work me and my team put in to get this off the ground. And thanks to Aqua for the balls required to allow deployment one day before ticket sale. I actually think it went great, there were only a few very small issues to resolve. On to the next adventure!

One of the founding acts of Rome was to create a space in the most visible and sacred part of the city where refugees from neighboring states could seek asylum, gain citizenship, and receive property, no questions asked; everyone welcomed and benefited from it. Dionysius of Halicarnassus 2.15.3-4:

Secondly, finding that many of the cities in Italy were very badly governed, both by tyrannies and by oligarchies, he undertook to welcome and attract to himself the fugitives from these cities, who were very numerous, paying no regard either to their calamities or to their fortunes, provided only they were free men. His purpose was to increase the power of the Romans and to lessen that of their neighbours; but he invented a specious pretext tor his course, making it appear that he was showing honour to a god. For he consecrated the place between the Capitol and the citadel which is now called in the language of the Romans “the space between the two groves,”1—a term that was really descriptive at that time of the actual conditions, as the place was shaded by thick woods on both sides where it joined the hills,—and made it an asylum for suppliants. And building a temple there,—but to what god or divinity he dedicated it I cannot say for certain,—he engaged, under the colour of religion, to protect those who fled to it from suffering any harm at the hands of their enemies; and if they chose to remain with him, he promised them citizenship and a share of the land he should take from the enemy. And people came flocking thither from all parts, fleeing from their calamities at home; nor had they afterwards any thought of removing to any other place, but were held there by daily instances of his sociability and kindness.

In 2024 I graduated Computer Science, got a fursuit, started going out with friends, began doing volunteer work for conventions, visited the United States, met my best friends, and started a relationship with the love of my life. On to an even better 2025! 🥂
