Seasons of transition are difficult. 23 year-old brand new head band director = my kiddos got 4th place out of 4 in their class at their 1st competition this year today. Two more competitions to go this year. This one was a feedback one. I hope they place next week. 💔

You are under no obligation to mourn the death of people who would’ve celebrated yours.

Zoo day! The ostrich is silently judging you. The Lion DGAF Tiger says kiss my ass. Otters are out there just enjoying life.

I can call myself an award winning photographer now! I won 2nd place in my class (Amateur) "Wild Animal" at the Tennessee Valley Fair!

Dragon found a new hoard.

The courtyard at the new MFM is so lovely!!!! One of the million wonderful things about this con. #mephit2025

I reallllly wish Bluesky would come out with the ability to lock/private accounts. I want to do some AD stuff but not when it can be seen by anyone!

This amazing group of musicians and furries had a pretty decent photographer 😇 🥰 it was my pleasure to get to know them.

Neither Slick or KoolWhip want to watch Kpop Demon Hunters with me. *pouts*

A certain yellow and black housecat love of mine has a part in this and we spent a good chunk of the day putting together the cosplay. Be there!

I reallllllly wish Mercury would hurry up and get out of retrograde or whatever the fuck. I'm about to go torched earth on anything and everything.

"How do you know where you're going if you don't know where you've been" is apparently, begrudgingly, my phrase for this summer. I am a genealogist-style historian. Don't ask me to stand by quietly, forgetting legacy. I will fight tooth and nail.

So. Don't ask my for my opinion if you don't want it. That's not how I was raised.

Why does my birthday month of August always have to be shit?

My eyes are twitching. Ugh

Car all clean! This means Winston must immediately claim it. I didn't even get out yet!

It starts. I was just asked to photograph a wedding because "quotes of $350" were too expensive. Yikes. You get what you pay for. I'm not good enough, and too good at the same time?

Titan had an amazzzzzing photographer who is the BEST at stealth pictures😆 😜

I've lost 35 pounds on the shots since last October. I'm not beating any speed records over here, but I'm pleased. But WHY is the place the loss most noticeable is in my BOOBS?!?! 🙄🤨😭😢

Slick and I just watched *the* Southpark episode.... yup. Go watch it. It made me throw up in my mouth a lil. Worth it.

my results

Immediately stops what I'm doing and puts Ozzy on Spotify. 😱😭

It was a red letter weekend. Saturday was @woodsflock.bsky.social SummerSplash event. Slick and I rented a party pontoon and took groups out on it through the day. Many camped (we didn't. LOL only 25 min from the house). Tons of fun and new friends were made. 🤩

I'm sneaky. I'll hide behind this step. She'll never see me with that dang camera she's always sticking in my face. .... She saw me.... oookaaaay. Guess I'll be handsome. 🐈

SiriusXM you're smoking crack.... at least for those of us in the northern hemisphere.

I enjoyed disconnecting for a few hours and wandering the Sunflower fest by myself and my camera.

Happy sunflower!

Anyone need a 2016 TFF hoodie? I love this one and hate to part with it, but I haven't really worn it since...2016. Size L, Asking $10+shipping

Thirty years ago I was obsessed with Dean Cain and L&CtNAoS was my favorite show (along with Dr. Quinn). Fast forward decades and the new Superman movie is the feel good mind bleach I needed to get rid of dog shit Dean Cain. Highly recommend going to go see it.

I used my watch to pay at the gas station just now. And the cashier was like, oh, what kind of Tony Stark thing is that?🤣 At first I laughed it off, but then i'm like... seriously...? paying with your watch has been around for several years now.

This represents everything I love about the #furry fandom. As a widowed single father, I've had to learn how to rely on people when things get too big for one person to handle alone. It completely goes against my nature, since I'm usually the one who goes out of my way to help others while... (1/6)

My body aches this evening but it was worth it to help a friend when he needed it, when nobody helped me in a similar situation over 10 years ago and in fact made it worse for me. That's not going to happen to anyone else on my watch. Body aches and full heart.

I'm looking forward to virtually attending Anthocon via all the posts on here and the livestreams. Post all the things!

We watched the Hugh Jackman version of Les Mis tonight and went straight into Legends of Avantris. Now I have "Bring him home" in Torbrck's voice running thru my head.

And to think my work takes potential donor prospects here.......😂🤣😅🫠🤑😝🤪

Some random person on reddit has my car issues written out to a T..... as I sit here at the Ford Dealership right now not even 24 hours after thinking the issue was fixed with a new battery. I'm fortunate I was able to limp to the dealership.😵😵‍💫

I sent my boys off to Scout camp. Stop for gas, and whoops. My car won't start. Are you freaking kidding me? My husband has been gone TEN MINUTES. Nearly 42 years old I still have to call my Dad for *everything*. Every single time I need rescued it's my dad who comes to me. 😭😭

Take ten minutes for this glorious video of Adam Savage's new fursuit. I know life is hard right now. This little nugget of happiness is worth it. youtu.be/XEf_9evSux8?...

That's what Winston thinks about that!

We went to the NO KINGS party with our Scout besties and had a great time. It was super chill and relaxed, with great vibes.

Season of transition right now. Some good. Some bad, but it's touching every aspect of life right now except furry.

I took this. It is not AI. It is My cardinal. My swing. My bird feeder. My camera. My window. Do I take it as a compliment or an insult? Did i use Lightroom to touch it up? Yes. Did I AI denoise it? No. Where is the line?

Just a cute pic of my love and I taken last night at Kern con. 🥰

Laundromat to wash a sleeping bag for Scout camp watched a man who has obviously seen better days feed quarter after quarter into one of those quarter pushing/coin slider gambling machines like they were chuck e cheese tokens. I learned in my sociology classes gambling is legal taxation on the poor.
