Happy new year! I hosted a party with some local goofballs!

Here's an assortment of MFF 2025 pictures I haven't posted yet before we get to 2026!

"There is a playable demo for the new Star Trek: Voyager game" sounds like a sentence from 2001, but we said it in 2025. Again, what a time to be alive.

The opening lyrics of Brick by Ben Folds Five are: 6 am Day after Christmas

Here's the haul from Midwest FurFest 2025. It's heavy with stickers after bigger acquisitions at AnthroCon. I collected each of the eight convention cards at MFF just like last year but didn't find out about them until the second day of the convention.

It's the last day of MFF 2025, and unfortunately there will be snow to contend with on the way back. We're trying to enjoy the remaining time here, but meanwhile here are more pictures with the crew including Mayo's new suit!

I wanna make so many birds :) There will be a time soon where perhaps I can make you a bird :)))

Midwest FurFest, Friday, December 5, Avian Meet and Beak. I squawked at many birds as a vulture gryphon. The cat is @jakeyjaketheskunko.bsky.social.

Thursday at Midwest FurFest! I'm in the main hotel again, but this time the room for my party of four came with more than one bed.

May your Thanksgiving be happy with friendship and good food! Me, @jakeyjaketheskunko.bsky.social, Ammo, Dean, @lightmywildfire.bsky.social, Caust, @qbnuki.bsky.social, and @endeavrawr.bsky.social looming over the feast

Fursuit Friday time! Sharing a popsicle (fan) with @codenamefreedom.bsky.social at Anthrocon 2025 before I bought my own

Antics for fursuit Friday, skunk on the golf course, skillfully putting. Recorded by @blackerst.bsky.social while we were playing at the annual Cedar Rapids furry minigolf gathering with @jakeyjaketheskunko.bsky.social and @valk.gay

I had a good time Saturday at the annual furry Cedar Rapids minigolf event again organized by @jakeyjaketheskunko.bsky.social. I did some putting as a skunk!

Multiple friends on Steam yesterday alerted me that a bot account copying my profile name, picture, and description is trying to add them as friends. If you get a friend request from an account that is two-years old with 3200+ hours in Counter-Strike 2, that activity is not from me.

A completely different playlist from another shift working from home. Perhaps someday I'll compile ten hours worth of video game background music I'm nostalgic for and use it on more shifts.

Stuff I came home from Furry Migration 2025 with including a couple convention shirts, many things from the scheduled sticker swap, and ten stickers by @aetusart.com

The playlist from an enjoyable and productive work-from-home shift

Fursuit Friday! After stepping out of the dead dog dance at Furry Migration I was still wagging my skunk tail! Recorded by Grapes Deer

A cute skunk named Pelican booped Sadie's snoot and it was nothing but curl wags from then on ~ #furrymigration #FM2025

I'm back from my first ever Furry Migration and had a lot of fun at a bird room party, running into cute furs and birds in the lobby and dealer's den, shaking my skunk tail on the dance floor, and saw success co-hosting my first meet & greet! Our Sunday morning Iowa meet saw at least 45 attendees.

I'm at Furry Migration, and tomorrow at 11am @jakeyjaketheskunko.bsky.social and I will be hosting a meet and greet for furs from Iowa! Attendance from all Iowa people at this convention is expected.

"Why did you choose our bank? Was it our community focus, convenient locations, low fees, or our reputation?" Me: "Cute animal mascot."

Today I unlocked myself as a playable character in Star Racer! Beyond being a vehicle to demonstrate peak pelican performance, the game is a lot of fun!

I've been playing Star Racer and working on unlocking myself as a playable character. It looks like I'm close to seeing the challenge race.

The full release of Star Racer, the retro-inspired, sci-fi, fast-paced racer, is here, and in this game you can play as me! That's right - I'm an unlockable character with my own ship. In the 1.0 trailer you can even catch a few glimpses of Pelican; see if you recognize me!

New commission of Pelican enjoying sushi by @ardo.bsky.social

Here is most of my haul from AnthroCon 2025 dealers room and sticker exchanges. The major items are paws for my skunk from Spilt Grape Soda, a Camp Howl corvid hoodie, a button-down with bird print from ArtSea Animal, a rocket pop fan from Limey the Cheetah, and dice from Alien Gryphon Studios.

I arrived home shortly after midnight on Tuesday morning. Here's another set of furry pictures from AnthroCon 2025 from Saturday and Sunday!

I borrowed a gryphon to wear during AnthroCon 2025 from Alex, the author of The Gryphon Generation, including for the bird meet on Saturday!

We're wrapping up Saturday at AnthroCon 2025. Later I might have some pictures from today to share, but for now here's more antics from Friday as a skunk in an Adidas track suit!

I'm at AnthroCon 2025! The second picture is of Freedom the mechanic coyote. The third has Freedom, Barbeque the skunk, and @jakeyjaketheskunko.bsky.social with his wolf partial. The fourth has Barbeque and Simon Skunk on either side of me in my recently acquired skunk partial!

Yesterday I hosted a house party with local furs Jakey, Ammo, Caust, Cube, Kai, Hayden, Wildfire, Dean, and Raver. We had fun with some fursuiting, going for all-you-can-eat sushi, watching Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, and we had this custom cake.

I have a sixth part to my Telegram sticker pack live now divided into two image galleries due to size! They're all by @codyf0xx.bsky.social. There are more general expressions to fill in gaps in the pack, like sadness and anger, more interactions with YCH bird, and memes, including novel ones!

Many thanks to @jakeyjaketheskunko.bsky.social for making this shadow box with bead sprite art from Snapshot Raccoon as a hatchday present and then helping to mount it and some memorable framed furry gaming stuff!

I have again been gathering Telegram sticker examples after identifying some missing expressions in the Pelican Telegram sticker pack.

I'm at a cookout hosted by @jakeyjaketheskunko.bsky.social and on the way picked up this cake from Main Street Bakery in Keystone, IA with representations of Ammodog, Pelican, Cube, Mayo, Caust, Snapshot, and Jakey.

Lots of neat games released recently or soon will be, but lately I've had older interests. Started the year with the anniversary edition of Fable 1, itself ten-years old, and want the remaster of Oblivion, one of all-time favorites, and Gex. I also dream of a crossover where Gex fights Daedra.

All right! I broke the 500 followers mark! Time for a raffle. This will be for a sfw (suggestive ok) headshot/badge. Must be following, boost this post, and reply to this post w/sfw refs (redacting naughty bits ok). Random selection. Deadline: May 24. Here's examples: aetusart.com/badges-portr...

I have three physical versions of Pelican stickers originally designed for Telegram by @codyf0xx.bsky.social to pass out at events!

Recent forecast: Work five days in a row, one day off (help Jakey skunk with his triathlon), work seven days in a row, one day off (you are here), work twelve days in a row, Memorial Day weekend. I'm really looking forward to that long weekend.

"Seven Days" King of the Stink, Pelican and Horsie Cloppenhoof make their stylish stand! Commission for @jakeyjaketheskunko.bsky.social, @pelicanvp.bsky.social and Mayo Neighs.

To celebrate the release of the remaster of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion (which I sadly don't have time to play right now), here's a commission by @carpetwurm.bsky.social from July 2017.

I organized a day trip to Omaha's zoo and aquarium yesterday with @jakeyjaketheskunko.bsky.social, Caust, Cube, and Ammodog. Here's the moon jellyfish, dwarf mongooses, Luzon bleeding-heart dove, and eagle-owl!

I earned all the achievements on the Steam version of that Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles arcade game from 2017 and now can make a completionist showcase just of games about reptiles who hit things.

One of the things I want left in 2024 is advertisers referring to their every product or service as a "game changer." That phrase isn't new, but I heard it so frequently last year that it frustrated me more than repeated advertisements already do. The ads were never about games either.

More fursuiting pictures from the party last weekend

Ammodog bought me a Regular Show DVD for Christmas, and recently he drew me in the style of the show! Ooooooohhhh!

The fifth batch of Pelican Telegram stickers is now live! The entire pack has been reordered following these new additions from @codyf0xx.bsky.social made in January 2025. The "look at the time" sticker works best on mobile. You can add them here: t.me/addstickers/...
