During a creative writing class, another student wrote “NO SUPERNATURAL ELEMENTS!” on page one and a giant “NO” in red marker on every page of the story. No other feedback. The assignment was to write a story about a headline from World Weekly News. Mine was “My Husband Became a Zombie.”

If you see this, please tell me the worst/most baffling bit of creative feedback you've ever recieved. Mine is still the time somebody told me my aliens had names that were too alien. Not that they were unpronounceable, just that they didn't sound enough like human names.

Saying this for the peanut gallery… Poodling is not a magical cheat code that allows you to fursuit in extreme heat. If you fursuit today, drink water and take frequent breaks. If you poodle, please wear sunscreen as well.

⚠️ An important announcement regarding the cancellation of the 2026 Fursuit Parade and Block Party due to the extreme heat and severe weather situation in the Pittsburgh forecast.

Anthrocon has been closely monitoring the extreme heat and severe weather situation in Pittsburgh forecast for this weekend. Convention leadership has been in contact with emergency services personnel and other entities regarding this situation.

After careful consideration for the health, safety, and wellbeing of our fursuiters, attendees, and residents of Pittsburgh, Anthrocon has decided to cancel the 2026 Fursuit Parade and Block Party scheduled for 2pm, July 4th.

We know both Anthrocon attendees and our friends in Pittsburgh look forward to this event every year; but the health and safety of all concerned is our paramount priority.

Anthrocon attendees should look for announcements of alternative indoor activities in place of the parade this year. We apologize for the necessity of this decision and hope you’ll continue to enjoy the events throughout the holiday weekend.

I can’t over-emphasize how important it is for furries to learn to start chats with something other than “hi.” I am very tired of getting chats from strangers and trying to figure out if you’re socially anxious or a scammer.

I learned some things from my recent post: -If you post anything about US history, some people will assume that you’re wholly ignorant of US history. -If you post anything about Die Hard, some people will assume that you’re wholly ignorant of Die Hard.

Celebrating Pride Month by using “Queer” in a sentence without thinking about it, realizing that I did that, wondering if that means I am indeed queer, and then spending the next 48 hours in the Queer-Ace Imposter Syndrome Zone.

2026 Software Updates Version 13.0: Added new AI assistant. Version 13.1: Bug fixes. AI assistant can no longer be "turned off." Version: 13.1.1: Bug fixed that caused the AI assistant to be turned off. Version 13.2: Redesigned UI - AI assistant button now takes position of old OK button.

As someone who is deeply sentimental about this Faire… Did something happen involving furries? Or is this just management wanting to get rid of non-Renn cosplay in general and furries in particular? Some of the most detailed cosplay I‘ve ever seen at the Faire were worn by realistic suiters.

Maryland Renaissance festival has explicitly banned fursuits. I never suited there but like…come on. This isn’t a living history museum. Renn faires were created by counterculture hippies who managed to invent wrap pants and convinced people the world they’re historical.

Headwear Restrictions

All headwear must be removable and thematic to the event upon entering the village gate.

Inappropriate, offensive and non-thematic headwear will not be permitted through the festival gates. This includes inappropriate face paint, offensive prosthetics, and fursuits, for example. Face-coverings must be removed upon entering the village gate after which they can be worn as intended.

Let's get spicy! My main takeaway about the state of furry in 2025: Fursuiting as an art form is now visibly in decline. More and more, I notice fursuiters who are partly de-suited, on their phones, or otherwise "off-duty" and it's odd to me given the cost of the suit and the effort of wearing it

Work: “We rolled out a new AI assistant that will save so much time! Look, it can summarize your email!” Me: “That’s useless. I’m turning it off so there’s less screen clutter.” Work: “Effective immediately: you can no longer disable AI. Also, there is a mandatory 2 hour AI class next week.”
