It's kind of like the night when I figured out that Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny, and the Tooth Fairy weren't real. Coming to the realization that something I believed for years was a lie.

I did this four years ago and decided to update it. I need to explore more of the east coast. (For categorization purposes, I consider a "stop" as a place I stayed the night without the express intent to visit and a "stay" as a place I visited for at least 24h.) tenpages.netlify.app/us-level/cam
Does anyone else struggle to leave the hotel room at a con? My fursuit is brushed and laid out. I just need to put it on and walk out, but I have this overwhelming feeling that I don't belong here and I should go home. This seems to happen at every con I attend.
Thanks to @iangray.bsky.social for letting me hang with him in NYC this weekend. #FursuitFriday 📷 @dirdwolf.com
I've been trying to get out of the house more to improve my mental health. For the first time in my life, I'm gaining the confidence to enter the world and do things on my own. Thank you to my friends in MI, AZ, OH, and RI for inviting me into your homes this past month and making me feel wanted!
Went on a road trip around Southern Arizona and down to the Gulf of California before LVFC. Saw this Organ Pipe cactus with two Saguaros growing practically in the middle of it. 📷 @drkmggy.bsky.social
The pool parties at @lasvegasfurcon.org were simply off the hook. I felt like I was in the coolest party I’d ever seen, something you’d see in a movie. Animals everywhere, in the pool or sunbathing. And that was the first time I’ve ever been caught in a furry generated whirlpool! 📷: @rezwolf.com
Exactly one month after losing my house, I've been forced to give up my daughter. I don't know what to say right now. I'm just deeply sad and trying to process what's happened. What's the point of anything anymore?
I spent most of last week confined to my bedroom with the flu. Despite how much I hated my life for several days there, I gave thought to the fact that being sick and feeling miserable doesn't allow you to be rude and mean to people—especially to those who are trying to accommodate and help you.
I am so tired of people taking advantage of me, pushing me around, and being abusive. The people I'm spending Christmas morning with don't want me here—and the feeling is mutual. I wish I had my own place to call home and the toxic people in my life could wallow in their misery away from me.
I'm tempted to make a tech-related job board, with the following criteria: - No AI - No blockchain - Every job must allow 100% remote as an option - Compensation must be fully transparent Unfortunately, I feel like it would, on most days, be empty. Too many tech companies are up to some bullshit.
I'm pulling out of my driveway for the last time. I've now lost a house twice in my life, and I can say it's not any easier the second time around.
You Need to Be Bored. Here's Why.

I honestly can't remember the last time I was bored. An advantage of being an autistic introvert is my mind is always occupied with something to think about. I enjoy solitude, and sometimes I find it in places I don't expect. Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport
Anxiety was bad, so I had an edible in the airport while waiting for my next flight. Got the munchies. Went to the store to get some gummy bears. They wanted $8 for a bag! And I thought I was high. Airports suck.
Some of my most memorable moments in the furry fandom have been with @spottacus.org. He'll be missed. 📸 @dirdwolf.com
The fursuit parade at AC went so much better this year compared to last! @drkmggy.bsky.social nose booped me afterward and documented the occasion.
I just watched The Life of Chuck. If you need something positive in your life, I would recommend seeing it.
Why is it so often when I'm at my lowest points and my head is filled with dark thoughts that no one is around or available to talk? I apologize for using this account to vent my depression, but sometimes it seems that shouting into the ether is the only thing I've got.
I'm really struggling; my anxiety is sky high, and I want the pain to stop. I wish I had local friends to hang and cuddle with, because I do not want to be home right now, but I have nowhere I can go. I'm just going to get high and try to sleep.
I hiked two trails today, a total of 8 miles, climbing over 750 feet. A trail guide rated one of the hikes as "difficult" and read to allow at least 2 hours to reach the summit. I did it in 50 minutes. Suck that, trail guide. I'm feeling accomplished.
Since 2022, I've managed a divorce, breakups, lying, cheating, hospitalizations, arrests, suicide, and three job losses. I'm financially ruined; my best option now, sell my house. I don't think anyone understands the amount of time and work I've put into this place. I feel defeated and really sad.
After #LVFC, @dirdwolf.com bought a Conn Prelude Model 312 and bestowed upon me the privilege of figuring out how to transport this 200 lb piece of 1970s home decor halfway across the continent back to Michigan.
