I want to make one thing clear. An unwelcome person snuck into our fursuit parade. I was standing by the escalators and saw every single suit that went by, and I did not see him. I still don't know how he got by me, but if I had spotted him, I would have said, "Hold it. You...come here."

You do realize, I hope, that if someone shows up at an event with the specific intent of causing an uproar in order to get attention, screaming about it is only giving them the attention that they seek and will encourage them to try it again.

I have been told I have to promote this by the tiny voice that screams at me “You need to get booked at some point” so be advised this is where I plan to do anything blue this year, because technically if it happens off site did it really happen? Hope you’ll come by.

If you are going to Anthrocon, you’ll be able to pick up a FREE piece of my original artwork of a Doc Rat character. Go to Bill Holbrook’s Kevin and Kell table. It requires one purchase of a very cheap Doc Rat eBook, and then the bonus free art can be yours.

In case you missed it: the Harris Theater in Pittsburgh is featuring special discounted screenings of FLOW and WOLFWALKERS for #Anthrocon attendees! 📽 🐱 FLOW: Fri, July 4 at 3pm trustarts.org/production/1... 🐺 WOLFWALKERS: Sat, July 5 at 4pm trustarts.org/production/1...

Then vs Now This #Anthrocon marks 10 years of me organizing/hosting Anthrocon's Fursuit Dance Competition. I've been doing Floor Wars for even longer (since 2012). I'm humbled to have helped grow this community and event to where it is ❤️ 📸 @aolun.bsky.social / @kazeshiba.dog #FursuitFriday

Last year, the North Carolina senate approved a bill that would criminalize wearing a surgical mask in public, but which allowed Klansmen to wear hoods. At the time I tried to call out what I saw as blatant institutionalized racism, but the callout was misconstrued. My apologies for being unclear.

Onsite, of course, we must be restrained and observe proper decorum. But this is not onsite. We can talk about whatever we want to. And we intend to. (Note: you must be 21 or over and there is a 2-drink minimum. For us, at least.) Thursday of #anthrocon2025

🤣 A NEW stand-up event is coming to #Anthrocon #AC2025! 🤪 Join four familiar comics at the City Winery in Pittsburgh's Strip District, on Thursday July 3. No admission or badge required, and accessible by foot, car or our Red Route shuttles! Location: maps.app.goo.gl/j5p6wrshKQri...

F igured I’d share this here since @papabarks.bsky.social event in the fight against ALS is around the corner. A comic by @skippylynn.bsky.social Please check out papabarks.org to see more about our event. We kick off our event on July 11th. For more info about the event and this art see below:

Having an interesting philosophical discussion. Started with questions about Furry, followed by a challenge to "define humanity." Humanity, I said, is offering aid to another not because there is a legal or social requirement, nor for any tangible reward, but solely because that other needs help.

Before they take it down and claim it never happened: The colors on either side of the stars form the flag of Russia. 🇷🇺

I have known people who stormed the beaches of Normandy. I have known people who were members of the NSDAP in Germany. I have known people who were conscripted as Kamimaze pilots by the IJN. I find myself now the custodian of their stories. "Dulce et decorum est pro patria mori." ##Nokingsday

Cary, NC, at 11:00 am today. Quite the turnout. Very proud of my town. #Nokingsday @motherjones.com

I was prepared to give a sake class tonight at Triangle Wine Co. in Cary. I did not. It was a farce. The class never existed. It was a scam perpetrated by @ronnienoodles.bsky.social designed to gather a dozen or more of my friends in one place to celebrate my 60th birthday.

I've shaken hands that shook the hands of those who fought in the American Civil War. I've listened to firsthand accounts of the sinking of Titanic and the horrors of the trenches of World War 1. My birthdate is closer to the presidency of Teddy Roosevelt than it is to today. Yup. I'm old.

We are so ready

Today was my 60th birthday. I decided that instead of getting drunk, I would run a 5k race. 32:13:02

I am overwhelmed at being invited to visit Taiwan this year! Many thanks to @infurnity.bsky.social for this incredible honor. (Do they make wine in Taiwan?)

This simple drawing is still one of the most shared images I’ve made. Reo Grayfox was telling me his story, and said those lines staring straight into his fursuit's eyes. Hearing personal stories like this makes you appreciate the vastly diverse reasons why the furry fandom is essential to so many.

I cannot help but ask: If a masked individual is attempting forcefully to abduct my neighbor... And that individual is neither uniformed nor displaying a badge or other clear identification... ...may I legally open fire on that individual? State of #NorthCarolina if that matters.

A few words written by German poet Erich Kästner on the 5th of May, 1945, eighty years ago.

Okay, this is gonna sound sappy, but my friends over at the @fundaypawpet.bsky.social are doing a stupid special stream tonight. 1,000 episodes!!! They've been going on longer than (according to my follower demographics) you've been alive.

We've got some Registration updates for #Anthrocon 2025! #⃣ Pre-registration will have a cap, announcements when we hit 75% and 90% capacity 🎟️ Thursday July 3 will be pre-reg pickup ONLY; limited day passes available on site Friday to Sunday Watch (YT): www.youtube.com/watch?v=p-sz...

So, one thing that I am still having trouble understanding is how firing thousands of people, dismantling countless Federal agencies, denying aid to disaster victims and threatening to cut Social Security and Medicaid payments is all better than making billionaires pay taxes.

The Funday Pawpet Show (@fundaypawpet.bsky.social ) is the longest-running streaming show on the internet. After 26 years of broadcast silliness, they will be airing Show #1000 this Sunday, April 27 at 6 pm EDT. Tune in and take part in this moment in Furry history! m.twitch.tv/FundayPawpet...

RFK: "We need to put autistic people on a registry. You know, not for any reason. But we need to have a list of who they are and where we can find them." Musk: "Uh...guys, I've got to be going..."

Exactly 250 years ago today, a bunch of Americans gathered in Lexington and Concord and told the government, "We're sick of your shit."

Apparently just that one.

Rein-car-nation!

This is how you do it. It really is “They can’t arrest us all” in action. Remember: as a community, you outnumber them.

RFK Jr. claims that he can find THE cause of autism within a few months. When I hear someone claiming they have found THE cure for cancer, I have a 100 thoughts whirling in my head. Once misinformation takes flight it is so hard to refute it. Inaccuracy on multiple levels. Brandolini’s law is 🎯🧪🧬

After 19 years and 235,000 miles, they said that I had to let it go. They promised to send it to a farm in upstate New York where there are no speed limits and it can zoom around all day in the sunshine with the other Corollas.

Check your name, your friends, your family, and your neighbors: thegriffinlist.com And please spread the word across North Carolina.

Tomorrow is a nationwide call to action. It is meant to be a peaceful protest, the voice of the people. Beware of those who will try to goad you into violence. They are very likely working for the other side and they are searching for any excuse to start busting heads. Do not play into their hands.
