FINALLY!! Thank Ya, @confuzzled.org.uk for getting my name corrected in time for today’s CFz ‘26 Opening Ceremonies. I’m home in California, not in Birmingham (but so wanting to return..) On this #FursuitFriday, I’m looking back to CFz ‘25 with gratefulness that I was able to attend. A Good Con

I’ve received approval of my panel for @anthrocon.org 2026. It’s a memorial panel in tribute to Bob Nelson “Anthrocoon” who died 15 months ago in Boston. He was a good friend, and helped me attend #ANE2023 and #AC2024 Great memories were made, and we planned to be together for THIS year’s #AC2026

There’s something special about PAWcon and pictures taken by Darris from #PawCon2024 On #FursuitFriday, here’s a pic I really liked from the elevated outdoor walkway with Joe Bear, @trucewolf.bsky.social and Canadian @neemyn.bsky.social in rear. Whadda picture from one of California’s finest cons

THIS!! Thank You, Pope Leo for stating the obvious. Americans are just starting to feel the effects for not voting in the right leaders and just wait for more ‘winning’ as the MAGAts say

I gave the 2024 Toyota Mirai it’s name - “TigerLily” as in the Alternative Rock song from Luna (1994). The Current 89.3 HD2 played the tune on my first drive home - such a great song and it just clicked

I’m getting a newer car - Actually, a car that runs on Hydrogen!! 2024 Toyota Mirai with $15,000 fuel card! This will help with commuting to/from work, while refocusing my 9 year old Camry XSE to Friday driving to/from work and weekend driving. Sadly, this is a CALIFORNIA CAR, which means no Vegas
