It’s the United States that needs regime change.

I did not support the Iraq War of the 2000s back in the day. I still don't. I don't support the invasion of Venezuela today. As bad as the leader may be. This is not the right move. This feels like a much worse and less justified version of the Invasion of Panama back in 1989.

I'm not sure if I should attend the "Taxes for Furries" panel at FC. I'm an accountant, but I still hesitate to do this kind of panel because I'm always afraid I'll get asked something I don't know or I'll bite off more than I can chew.

Turns out I didn't run into any problems replacing the wheels on my Pelican case (they still turned, they were just squeaky and noisy). Just needed a fold-up hex wrench and a hammer.

Great, now Sakuracon's tactic of con rate hotel bookings is "don't notify anybody at all." At least I got a room at the hotel I most wanted and it's relatively reasonably priced?

Wow my mother might be starting off the year on a good foot by upgrading her internet service speed (unchanged since the late 2000s at 7 mb down). Then I also found out they're paying $90 per month for it.

It's not "Happy New Year", it's not "Sad New Year", it's just "It's a New Year."

Wow, Malcolm in the Middle is getting a continuation series in 2026...

Every time a convention releases overflow hotel info but exclude certain hotels close to the main venue, I wonder how many ppl book the non-con-room block hotels.

We hosted a Balto watch party in The Balto League to celebrate the movie's 30th anniversary with Simon Wells. After the watch party Simon takes question about the movie including from fans in the Discord. Check it out on @damagecontrolblog.bsky.social's YouTube channel!

That time of year again!

Happy Christmas! And continuing the tradition of doing the most un-Christmas thing possible which is deliberately waiting until this day to pay off this month's credit card bills.

The moment when you want to try and be a good person and visit family members whose health is in decline but also try and avoid other family members because you don't really like them... And also hide from all of them the reason why I'm going anywhere near where they live is because of fur cons...

One thought that keeps swirling in my head: Who is my least favourite Bluey character?

To all the bros and sons I met along the way. Happy Holidays! 🎄🎁

The moment when you watch a recommended Youtube video made by a nonfurry and the creator thinks that a Clockwork Creatures suit is "probably more than $1000."

"this could have been slop, but it's not" is rapidly becoming a surefire signifier of premium-ness

Quick drawing of one of my favorite scenes from Balto, which is 30 this year! Wild to think it's that old now...

I'm not panicking over Christmas. I gave something to my parents early on. It will be a low-key family day on Dec 25. I go to work on Christmas Eve, spend time with extended family, then work on Dec 26. If I'm planning for bigger events, it's New Years Eve. Or FC (it's in less than a month)

golden hour ☀️

As another con year ends, I'm again reflecting and questioning my anime con future. I'm already down to attending 2 per year and these are "repeat attendance" cons. The main question is "Do I want to keep attending them or just drop them entirely."

Finally watched the French "Intermarche" wolf ad. It's almost like... the French took Mr. Wolf from Bad Guys and made their own version of a Christmasy "Ratatouille." It was excellent.

The more I learn about the i3 the more I hate it. There is no other car that made me forever swear off all cars from an entire manufacturer. Also I never saw the i8's back end as "it looks like it is defecating out a Porsche 911" until now. youtu.be/nm6ZnZAxMWQ?...

I never thought of getting a picture with @goldeneyeuro.bsky.social before and it happened during Midwest FurFest 2025. 😊

Just want to give a shoutout to anyone going to #FURUM this weekend, to have a good time. In commemoration, here are some photos for this #Fursuitfriday from my time in Kuala Lumpur last year. Featuring @wofychuu.bsky.social @ctwolf.bsky.social @foxybearfoot.bsky.social

I always say "It's the Most Terrible Time of the Year" but that AI-generated McDonalds commercial for the Netherlands is LOL in such a bad bad bad sense.

I'll take today's bad weather over having to drive back in it from MFF. And yes I have driven back from a con through a snowstorm. It is not pleasant at all.

And home from #FURFEST . Thank you everyone for making this weekend amazing, it is perhaps my best #MFF in 6 years. Back to work tomorrow. I don't feel PCD because it is experiences like this that remind me this is what I am working for and gives me something to look forward to.

Couple more pics. #MFF #MFF2025 #MFF25 #furfest #furries #fursuit #fursuiter

More evening thoughts at #MFF #Furfest : By the time I stopped wearing my realistic head, I could do about 3 hours of suiting at a time. Hearing about other suiters going for 5 hours or more made me think it was because I didn't have the endurance and tolerance.

Evening thoughts at #MFF #Furfest : I feel like it took until this con to like... fully figure out how to plan meet ups with friends. Balancing suiting, going to enjoy the con, socialization, etc. I feel stupid and feel like I should have mastered this a long long time ago.

I don't care about the growth/decline in attendance, I just care about "is the con worth paying the money to attend" and "can the staff and attendees put on a con that is worth paying to attend" Bigger con=/=Better con #Furfest #MFF

Last day to explore the convention center! 🐱 #FurFest

Before I came to #Furfest #MFF I was questioning whether it was worth continuing to put in the effort and spend money to attend. The answer is a big resounding yes.

Commission for @realmidnight.bsky.social Thank you!

Why of course I wore my ABBA jacket to the Eurovision panel at #MFF #FURFEST

Walk from Embassy Suites to the Hyatt: Long and a bit irritating but not intolerable. And hey, many people have to make this journey. I'll survive. And I need to walk more anyway. #MFF #FURFEST
