Happy Trans Day of Visibility! The world needs to be reminded that trans people are really just regular people.
I just read that Snap E Tiger @bycats4cats.bsky.social passed away last night due to a heart attack. He was one of the original suiters / makers I met in the fandom long ago, the pic is from 2001 MFF of his velcro tiger suit. You'll be missed, my friend.
Many of the people on my friends list know Karl Meyer (Crim). I just received word that he had passed away. I don't know much as yet save that it was apparently natural causes. I wanted to make sure that his family knew before I made a public post about it. I'll post more info as I find out.
I still think of Furry as the NEW fandom that I moved into after Science Fiction got too limiting in the 80s.
Had a great time at IndyFurCon ! Hanging and having fun with great friends... From left to right Sownya ( me ) Rose Thorne (Thorne Mouse) Kayla ( Dashwana ) One of the Leggy Lambs ( Kylee Gracemount ) Onyx( @samanthakemple.bsky.social ) Callout to Flora Hill for the 3d sculpts on Sownya & Onyx
Onyx rests her hooves after some time on the dance floor at AnthrOhio in 2025. She knows her mother would not approve of her mingling with the people of Earth and that makes it all the sweeter.
I guess if I’m going to say anything about pride month, I want to say something about the misfit queers. The ones who are told, whether overtly or just through general observation, that they’re not PROPERLY queer. They don’t fit in with the queer cliques. I’m one of you, and we get to be proud too.
Happy Pride. No matter who you are, how you identify, you are valid and loved.
Animation is a caricature of life, not a lesser imitation of it. Remaking cartoons in live-action, or giving the characters realistic proportions, hairs, warts, etc., robs them of the stylized exaggeration that made them appealing in the first place.

Onyx appears again! Thank you @afrodyte.bsky.social for the photo shoot while we were at #FURFEST2024 I'm delighted that she continues to improve. Thank you to @archerwolf.bsky.social for your continuing work on her!
Showing off Onyx, my new goat fursuit, at IndyFurCon. Onyx is visiting this plane to see and meet humans, the species of her father.
Looking for friends, past, present & future. Please share if you would be so kind, as I am hoping to reconnect with so many I’ve lost contact with since the pandemic, and hopefully make some new friends.
I don't want to miss the chance to say Happy #TransDayOfVisibility even though I exist more at the bigendered border.
Hello Bluesky! I'm making my way over from the service formerly known as Twitter. Please pardon the incomplete setups and missing content. Looks good so far!
