There is a reason Furpeaks is my favorite event of the year. It was risky to start but now we have a closely knit group of friends all eager to make sure everyone has an amazing time together.

We need to populate the missing middle. Right now, we have the local meetup (the living room) and the convention (the megapolis). But we are missing the Village. We need more events that bridge the gap between a casual dinner and a chaotic city.

If you have 5 minutes, I highly recommend giving this a read. "You absorb the anxiety so they can absorb the joy." There is a particular kind of isolation that comes from being the foundation everyone else stands on, and this doc does a great job of making those who host feel appreciated and seen

Ideas are cheap. Logistics are expensive. In 2021, I lit money on fire to start Fur Peaks - now a 7 night gathering of furries in the mountains of BC. But looking back? It was the best bad investment I ever made. Here is the blueprint on why (and how) to be unwise enough to do it too.

You know, after having worked for so long at one job... funemployment is... actually kind of boring, at least right now. >.>

FurPeaks shattered expectations this year. Awesome friends, and some of the best alpine terrain Canada has to offer. Huge thanks to @dracco.dragons.place for organizing, and to all others for an unforgettable week! 📍: Sun Peaks, BC, CANADA 📸📂: flic.kr/s/aHBqjCJV4y 🐾: www.furtrack.com/user/Azimuth...

Seven days. One mountain. And a community that just clicked. We spent the week sending it down the slopes and the evenings just being… us. Authentic. Safe. As an organizer, I can build the framework, but the magic only happens when the people fill in the spaces. Thank you for a hell of a week.

What happens when you have a bunch of engineering adjacent kids access to marble run pieces... Over breakfast 😂

Something about fresh cinnamon buns before a day on the mountains

So, new buddy to keep me company while I'm on holiday, with all the news that dropped. Haven't figured out a name, yet... But I'm sure it'll come to me :)

Well, things are slightly more complicated than your final day is today. Turns out, it's more like, your final day is Thursday. Oh well, I guess I do have to do a bit of work before closing the work laptop for good.

Tomorrow looks like the finale for my 8.5-year arc at this job. And honestly? It can’t come fast enough. I’ve been fighting the script for years, burnt out from trying to build safety nets for my team while leadership actively dismantles the floor to embrace the AI grift.

Weeeeee, love getting only 3 hours of sleep. The other intended 6 being on and off on the porcelain throne :T

I think I've come to a realization. I'm tired fighting for my role at my current company. Severance can't come soon enough.

Fjord is like. WHY ARE YOU PICKING MY POOR NOSETUBES. ;.;

TFW you accidentally go a bit too far before changing... and start leaking out the back because you're playing games in bed... Ooops. XD

Another year past, and I just kinda feel stuck. Don't like my job (like my boss, and my colleagues, but hate what AI is doing to the work) Still kinda in a rut after closing in on 2 years later - sis World's still spinning in messy ways Trying to keep my little corner still cozy. But it's hard.

Bonus shark storage solution... Very cozy shark. Pretty sure. (Also, actual childhood teddy bear, camel, and mini teddy! Retired because they're old and have seen years of love.)

IM COMING. :o 📸 @komodo.dragons.place

Weeeeelp. ER visit for my mom today. 😅 Possible ACL tear from skiing... Weeee!

Happy Holidays from @sparkyap.bsky.social and myself! May the remainder of 2025 be full of joy with your loved ones. 😀

Found a nice chair 🎿 📸: @acco.dragons.place

Yanno, I have done the cozy night time vibes photos of my new bedroom (well, 3ish months now...) So. Cozy vibes. 😇

The WIPs for the poster art for my ski/board event this year are so gooooooood. Am excited to print it...

Gah, gonna have to do without diapers for just under a week, in just over a week. -.- This is a travesty on poor phoxes. :(

Almost ski season. :o

Rime gives good snugs. 😇

Acco channeling "you died" energy. 📸 @komodo.dragons.place

Welp. Today was expensive. Renewal day for car insurance. 😅 Just moving to this new location ~10km away increased my premium by $200. And no longer eligible for a low mileage discount 😅 Can I just say that adulting is full of unfun things? 🐲

[to be fair to buckley... there was a night in the not too distant past... where I was in a crib, and 2 other people I knew were going at it in the room across from mine - and I could hear everything that was going on inside... that made me feel VERY FUNNY. >.>]

Rime gives good snugs. 😇

Ever have one of those dreams that puts you way on the wrong side of the bed when getting up... And it lingers with you into the late evening? Yeah, that's me today :/

Welp, I have a newfound appreciation for German play slang. kv. 😅 (Also no judgement, just I find it decidedly hilarious)

Peak "you’re not leaving until you tuck me in" energy. ;) 📸 @powdercrew.pics

Oops. I might have let the nutrient solution get a bit out of whack... And now some of the leaves on my plants are necrosis-ing 😅

He's so big... ❤️ (And imposing... >.>)

ding dong the mouse is dead. Sleeping slightly more calmly after that.

You will not understand psychological terror until you see a mouse. On your stove. And then it dives inside the stove. Because it's using the stove as a fucking nest... and toilet by extension.

It's been a chaotic week that has had me angrier than I've been in a long time at work. I'm glad that I have this to look at though. At least something is going right and continues to go right.

Every few years I feel compelled to post about the best hotel hack ever, because every time I post about it, it turns out to be new to lots of folks …

Still haven't quite figured out what he's named yet... but... he's _very_ good at providing crushies. XD Might call him Fjord... but not sure. Thoughts from other folks? :o

Cucked myself super hard by accidentally throwing the default device group into the unifi filter containing the adult blocklist... -.-

I have made an "unwise" decision. Not a bad one. At least according to @sparkyap.bsky.social But I don't care. BIG DINO.
