Well it's a bit late, but we did manage to land in Chicago, claim bags and find the shuttle to the hotel. Actually quite good timing on the shuttle for once!

We're getting our first meaningful snow today in Denver, and instead of getting to enjoy it and looking forward to skiing it this weekend, we're packing up for MFF.

I may not post much, but I'm really looking forward to seeing folks this week at MFF. Let me know if you'll be around, especially if we haven't been able to meet up recently!

Man, I just want to curl up under my desk and take a nap. And given how gross it is under my desk, that's saying something.

I was up in the mountains to bike today, and the leaves have started turning. Very pretty!

I figured out the trick to get myself to run faster & further... Just turn on the downpour when I'm two miles in and as far as I get from my house. In other news I just ran a 35' 5k.

Woo! Sub 36' 5k. It's not great for where I have been in the past, but it's faster than I've gone since my asthma got worse a year or so ago.

It's kinda funny watching old punk bands fly into Denver and get destroyed by the altitude. (I say as an old, but one who has acclimatized.)

We made it home from anthrocon. It was fun, but damn I'm tired and sore.

We're hanging out with the dregs of lobby con at anthrocon till it's time for our flight. It was great seeing everyone again! We had a blast.

Damn, I'm -going- to anthrocon and still feel like I have fomo from seeing all the people there early. (Wanting to bail on a stressful, busy work day has nothing to do with it, I promise)

I used to feel indulgent showing up to cons on Thursday, even Thursday evening... Now that I start to see people showing up on Tuesdays, it seems absolutely nuts.

Look, all I'm saying is that if all the children & grand children of the Disney board of directors were remanded to their respective state's foster care system, they probably wouldn't have ended the new Lilo & Stitch movie that way...

Oh damn, I think I'll blame being slow on the pollen, and not being out of cardio shape from winter.

"We are trying to build a replacement Twitter, like when Twitter was good" ok hold up let me stop you right there

So the annoying thing about the new Weekly comic spinoff is that with current rates, I'm paying more for shipping than the actual comic. www.amazon.de/-/en/dp/3551... (preorder link in German from the shitty hell market)

Huh. Weekly is apparently getting his own spinoff book latter this year.

I hate seeing "DEI". Don't ever substitute it for what it means. Ask anyone using it what they think it means. Ask why they think people who look different are less competent. Ask why they think people who look different shouldn't get the same opportunities.

Still no reg lines at TFF? Well done!

Wow, the reg line at TFF is really short right now!

Just practicing things...

Can't wait to see the new ads: Signal, it's strong enough for US military secrets, stuff enough for the libs at The Atlantic.

I'm feeling sad because i can't remember which hip hop/rnb track from the 90s I'm thinking of involving riding/donkey/pony that I was dancing to in high school.

Before I make a finished ring, I practice with copper. Last night I made a first draft of a new three stone braided ring.

If you or anyone you know are in Denver and could benefit from a free event with information about immigration enforcement, check this out. It's on a college campus, but open for all. Reboosts appreciated.

"This Year" has been called out by a bunch of people I've seen over the last couple months as something that's made them feel better, but for me "Amy a.k.a. Spent Gladiator #1" has a better impact. I hope you listen and it makes you feel a little better. youtu.be/e2zreotds8U?...

Ok, y'all ain't even trying anymore...

The fun part of playing 'spot the furry' in the airport today is the bonus round of guessing if they're headed to FC or ANE.

Not only did I get another print done, I actually managed to get my 4 new prints of 2024 matted, framed and hung on my office walls. :)

So I finished another print right before the end of last year. Back on my furry shit after a couple with real people in them. A long title: "He took me to one of those beaches he was always talking about"

If you ship it, they will cum...

Getting dinner after dealer setup at MFF. Who's got stuff going on tonight at the con? Slide into my dms or telegram.

Ok, the real test of Bluesky: who do I know on here that is going to MFF, and can I use the info and dms in bluesky to have a better time at the con? (Not holding my breath, but here's to hoping)

Got a new suitcase today, and decided I wanted it to stand out from the crowd.

I'm not even technically preparing for a con/art show, but here I am cutting approximately 85 mat boards.

Every so often I accidentally respond to Ursula V, and I forget that what I say will be seen by more than 5 people.

Morning boost since I posted this in the dead of night. (Also deleted the boost with the typo.) I dunno, I'm just a cat on the keyboard.

I generally like carving more than printing, funnily enough. That means I usually carve a couple things to print before I bust out the printing press.

Did some printing tonight, it's always nice to see the end result after all that goes into preparing and carving a block.

This is very different than my usual print style, both in subject matter and execution style. As a consequence, it's taking longer than I expected, but hopefully it will turn out once done and printed.

These were a lot of fun to make, and turned out quite pretty. Now that I have the tools and practice, would people want to commission custom pieces?

Ok...finally can post some things I got at AC bsky.app/profile/edit... Made this for me. How cool is this???

It hasn't been a great week, for a variety of mostly minor reasons, but forcing myself to make things these past two nights seems to help.

@artdecade.bsky.social here at Anthrocon we need to get a picture of Art Artdecade Decade, now that we have ten years of the back catalog in print.

Idea: yoga for dealers den. Every morning they lead the dealers in a set of warm up and flexibility stretches to get them through the day.

The professionalization of major con dealer dens in the fandom is awe inspiring. It's also a little terrifying to see what the bar is to come in as a vendor in a place like this.

And it begins... To the tune of 'good morning Baltimore': Good morning dealer's den!
