Hello SJC! Was up til 2 packing and working, now about to fly to Seattle in 35 minutes and then dial into a 9am presentation. Looking forward to the Woodland Park Zoo adult event tomorrow, and hanging with some Very Good critters. But first let's see how fast I sleep on this plane.

Life has been pretty chaotic lately. Trying to spend some time getting my house in order and mending friendships, but it's been a lot on my mind. I think I just need some time petting big friendly animals.
A very well-written description of the background noise I feel when deciding who I can be. I consider myself pan/NB, but from a distance Latte and I look straight/cis and sometimes it makes me feel like I'm intruding—or being told what I am instead—just by searching for the right "me" for me.
saw this earlier and it genuinely broke my heart i'm not AMAB for the record but every nonbinary person deserves to belong in queer spaces
@malciortrescala.bsky.social checking out his new 100% electric transportation device ;3
had this pulled up for my freelancing guide how topical indeed
I really hate the “I don’t owe anyone anything” mentality because we actually owe each other and this planet a lot. You don’t have to be selfless all the time or burn yourself out but you should be kind and helpful and compassionate to the best of your ability. We need to care about each other more
An excellent and accurate read, at least for most of the situations I've seen the private side of.
Ever wonder how furry conventions decide when to ban someone? I wrote a blog post that explains how the process works. www.dmuth.org/so-you-think...
A few pictures from our hike last night! It was warm, but a really nice trip.
One of the things I've found myself missing lately is photography, either fursuit photography, wildlife, or just a walk in a city. It's a hole I very much need to fix. 🐾 @auzbuzzard.bsky.social 🪡 @reddemon2333.bsky.social 📅 Memorial Day Caltrain 🖼️ www.furtrack.com/user/wolfwit... 🏷️ #furry #fursuit
It's time to get RAWW!! Welcome to Forgotten Island at AC! (It's certainly warm enough to be!! 🥵🥵🥵)
A few pics (gallery of 6) from last week's backpacking trip to Eastern California! I'm very grateful to @tavfox.bsky.social for taking us out there and leading the way.
I heard this quote on Instagram yesterday and I can't stop thinking about it 🎯
Oogh oogh, AC FOMO is kicking in! Here's one of my favorite pix *ever* of Boulder and Latte, from AC2022 ♥️ 🐶: @wolfwithdances.bsky.social 📸: @raitobimu.bsky.social #FursuitFriday
As you get older & wiser, two things happen. You understand yourself & what matters much better, but also feel more confused about why the world isn't what you thought it'd be. Dear friends can become old melancholy photographs in a blink. So speak your heart, live your truth and love fearlessly.
Older lady peeped the rainbow flag on my bike, asked in a thick Russian accent “It’s your Pride?” She told me her youngest grandchild is “not she berry or he berry but no berry.” I said “Nonbinary?” She got so excited. Yes! Yes! And “Is a secret, but they are my“ *looks around, whispers* “favorite.”
One day I may do an encore of my 5-min presentation. I'm still proud of the line "what if Party Rock wasn't just in the House...but in the Senate?"
This last sunday was the finale and big reveal of a home-run version of @gamechanger.dropout.tv S7E1 "One Year Later" that I set up for some friends! 16 tasks and a year to do them all, and i couldnt be more impressed with how everyone did. we all put a lot of effort in and i think it paid off
CFT is so unique and special and I'm really glad I got to go this year after several years missing it. I even got in an impromptu lettering sesh (but credit goes to @woofybunny.bsky.social for keeping the lemonade topped up across the weekend)
"A high-speed chaise was reported downtown today"
i think i could actually put together a motorized driveable couch for less than a grand this is unreasonably tempting
Nothing to share for International Day of Latex (at least, nothing new for here). I definitely need to make more time to be shiny!
A few favorite shots from the Caltrain walk on Memorial Day! I miss doing fursuit photography - I'm still an amateur but I love it and need to find more opportunities. 🐾 Iro, Arx, Redwood, Akras (see alt text) 🖼️ www.furtrack.com/index/event:... (60) 🔗 www.thedancingwolf.com/photos/2026-... (393)
Happy Pride Month! Be seen and be loved, now more than ever! 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️
I teared up too. I’m 50 now, but I consider myself fortunate to have realized and come out in my 20s. I hope the man in this story can find happiness. It’s never too late as long as you’re breathing.
My day job is at a rural branch of a public library, and we have a Pride display. Yesterday I was at the desk when a man came in. Fifties, maybe, or sixties. Plaid shirt, mesh trucker cap, suspenders. He went up to the display and just stood there for a long moment. Then he came up to the desk. 🧵 1/
In the brush beneath a Mission Bay overpass, two coyotes break into song as a Caltrain barrels past. Their duet — equal parts whimper, howl and bark — rises and falls in chorus with the horn of the train.
I've been on a mending kick lately - I got a darning kit and have been patching holes in favorite old hoodies, jeans, and socks. It's been a really great way to get some non-screen time in, save some stuff from the landfill for another year or two, and build out a cost-efficient skill.
Every year for Pride, I repost Hue. I made him to send love and comfort to those who feel Pride isn’t for them because they aren’t out. You matter, you are valid, and it’s ok if you aren’t ready yet. Coming out is not a requirement for being part of this community. Happy Pride 🌈
