According to a good friend, there was a spontaneous fur meet on the Orlando Fringe lawn over the weekend. He counted eleven. I've heard NOTHING about this. Am I seriously that far out of the loop these days?

Yes, this happened

Currently working on a setlist for @anthrohio.org and almost jokingly decided to do a segment of Ohio-based performers. There are a LOT!

A former student of mine, now a special needs teacher, felt compelled to send me this and I can't find the lie

It's like a movie, but crappier

Slightly increase a band: The Zombie Milkmen

Seeing furries behaving badly and thinking, my dude, this is the most chill and accepting community I've ever found but they've got a long memory and very little precedent for apology tours. Why would you want to mess up a good thing? THINK before you act. And then, maybe, don't act that way?

…I’m going to need some time to process this. I was prepared for a train wreck but wasn’t prepared for the parts they got right. Kind of messed up right now.

We're gonna go see Animal Farm this afternoon. I don't remember ever lowering my expectations this much for anything.

First world furry problems: get a FB friend request from someone local. All our mutuals are furries. Don't quite recognize the photo. No clue as to fursona name; no character art or any other references.

Got a follow-up call from the company I ordered the oboe reed from. Probably just their way of asking "so, this isn't an error, you really did want a... synthetic oboe reed?" I bet several of you can guess which company it is. Who else does follow-up calls these days?

Just ordered the synthetic oboe reed. This is my most narrow and specific act of "faith" this year so far. I'll let you know how well it was rewarded.

Just wrapping up a seven-week contract which was downright frightening at times. Last day, and I'm cool as a cucumber which was taken out of the crisper drawer about fifteen minutes ago.

Uh oh, videos aren't loading on my desktop machine. Still working on my phone. Hope my browser isn't to blame.

Small miracles keep me going.

First skeet from my new MacBook Air! I can now retire my 2010 MacBook Pro. In theory. 😊

Is the world ready for another appearance of Julie Bunny? Because the world might get another appearance of Julie Bunny and we should just be prepared for it.

Tommy. It didn't traumatize me exactly, but as a Baptist kid it gave me really odd ideas of what Catholics were up to (re: Eyesight To The Blind)

I’m way too far away but this would be the can’t-miss event of the year

My job currently requires me to transcribe instrumental and vocal passages from Suno-generated tracks. I have never felt this unclean.

Eye exam yesterday. New prescription. New glasses on the way. Curious to see if it helps my concentration, which has really taken a hit over the past couple of years.

It's really hard to stay on task and do responsible things today and not get drawn into despair

Is it #ThrowbackThursday again already? Had this posted in the other place. Me and @cosmik.bsky.social with a baby tiger being raised by a Branson magician. I'd wager the tiger has passed from old age by now.

New month, and a new resolve to find time to tell the inside story, as I lived it, of one of the fandom's most... well, it was just the most, really.

to the surprise of no one

Getting nostalgic for TFF 2012 - the first con where I officially performed on mainstage as Rhubarb. Followed it up with three more years and then my schedule went sideways and time passed and hardly anyone in Texas still remembers me. But it was a fun and memorable time.

Oh yeah, it's #ThrowbackThursday! Here's a LONG throwback - all the way to 1979! Already complicating my life with large, unwieldy music tech.

Life update: This year, three of my musicals will be produced within the time span of about a month! None of them are the ones with furries specifically, but all of them lean into anthropomorphics because, well, me.

My giants? They might be.

Discovered Angine de Poitrine thanks to Rick Beato and everyone else losing their minds over this band. My brain is too melted to form a coherent response just yet, but I just want to dance to it. Clumsily. Like a proper bear.

All this

You can let it destroy you from the inside out. Or you can channel and focus your rage to bring about positive, systemic changes in society. Stay mad, my friends.

From the 2024 Anthrocon parade. This was my Epiphone Viola bass, pretty much their version of a Höfner. Last year I got a real Höfner and this year I've had some work done on it so it's really sounding good now! #FursuitFriday Pic by @shutterbear.bsky.social

My job at the moment: playing piano for a musical. This song should amuse anyone who remembers the fandom’s paroxysms of 12 years ago or so…

Once you’ve lived and worked in Branson, you start seeing Branson-like aspects of any other tourist destination.

(to the tune of "Baby Face" by Harry Akst and Benny Davis) Baby Furs Some people just can't handle baby furs Like clockwork this tired topic re-occurs "Baby furs? They ruin my morale!" No one asked you, pal

Another successful Immerse festival in the books! Got asked if I was planning on being at Megaplex this year (probably only Thursday and Sunday night, I work that weekend)

For those of you aware of my normie, pre-Orlando career. I definitely don't look this young anymore.

Age verification? I wasn't yet a year old when my teenage sister plopped me next to her on the living room couch and watched the first appearance of the Beatles on Ed Sullivan. I can't remember if she was screaming but she remembers that I was "well-behaved".

Post a banger that isn't in English Picked up the CD at a whim at Blockbuster back when Blockbuster was a thing, and fell in love with the whole album www.youtube.com/watch?v=c_zS...

I could be sad and disappointed that, yet again, Megaplex falls on a working weekend for me. I'm more concerned that, by the time the planets align for me to attend again, the event will have imploded under the weight of its own poor decisions. C'mon, folks.

Watching an Adam Neely video about AI and Suno, and @ethanhein.bsky.social is spitting truth bars or whatever the kids used to do before they grew up and had kids of their own. But yeah, eminently quotable stuff.

GWAR's cover of Chappell Roan's "Pink Pony Club" makes me love both of them more www.youtube.com/watch?v=I5XR...

Late to the party, but finally saw Zootopia 2. There’s just no way to catch all the gags in only one sitting! What a ride.

...is this only a white thing?
