She needed the black nitrile ones... (Invented by Neil Tillotson, who invented the modern latex balloon (which was originally cat-shaped), and who cast the first ballot in every presidential election for 40 years, and who has a glove-shaped tower built in his memory. Ohhh, the history of desire!)

I ran out of time to show two cartoons during Feel Weird(er) at FC. One was the inflation classic "King Size Canary." The other was "Frederick," about the power of art in dark times. It's not kinky, but it's good medicine. (If you think it's too simplistic, relax and be less cynical.) First 7:00

TONIGHT AT FC!

Friday night at Further Confusion! Watch kinky cartoons on 16mm, consult the priestess of Delphi, and learn about cutting-edge ketamine research. Milk and cereal provided. Attendance is mandatory. Named a 2026 "Panel to Watch Out For" by Marriott Bonvoy Magazine #furtherconfusion #furcon

Friday at Further Confusion! Meet the curators of Room Party and the organizers of the 2025 Furry Studies Conference. Learn how these events came together, what's next, and how to get involved. Hosted by me, @attyboy.bsky.social, & @hypertyping.bsky.social. @roomparty.bsky.social @furrystudies.org

Not gonna Weigh In since there’s been an abundance of Weighing In’s but if yall ever see me advocating for or (Heaven Forbid) using AI in my artwork then I have been replaced by a doppelgänger and you have my permission to shoot on sight.

Furry Studies 2025 videos are live! Please check out the Virtual Artist Lectures - hosted by @attyboy.bsky.social and I. @zubrovich.bsky.social, @flausch.bsky.social, and @uglygirlswag.bsky.social will fill you with artistic inspiration and will make you cry. More highlights in the comments!

Finally posting my new comic, Wolfhead, about fursuiting and playing pretend. Deer fursuit shots referenced from photography by @attyboy.bsky.social 🧵(1/3)

My notes from the Furry Studies 2025 Academic Convention are now public. www.patreon.com/posts/dippin...

All of Barroo's work is great, but I especially recommend "The Trade," which screened this year at Room Party and BLFC.

Furry Studies 2025 was an academic conference in the same way Room Party was a contemporary art show. Which is to say, we did it on our terms - silly but serious, personal and political, playful yet powerful. Feral. From now on, this is a conversation between furries, not about us.

Just 12 Little Things. It’s a movie about „almost touching“ someone through the screen and furry art facing the horrors of AI automation. www.ivynuss.de/12littlethings

Next week - virtual + in-person! We've got sticker semiotics, post-Anthropocene gaming, sparklefur embodiment, trans-species critique, video art pup rituals, queer nerd pioneer Rod O'Riley, and so many brilliant artists! Plus, after dark, a black mass to plan how we'll corrupt the youth in 2026.

We aren't done yet though! No panel worth its salt would go anywhere without moderators. So, say hi to the first of two mods for the Artist Panel Discussion - Brett Hanover (@lordpook.bsky.social)!

If you're at BLFC, come check out this screening curated by @poryout.bsky.social and I, with films by @flausch.bsky.social @sparklecats2009.bsky.social @mayabendavid.bsky.social @averycutedog.bsky.social @rainstormsky.com @dozzy.bsky.social @sournoodl.bsky.social @emowolf.bsky.social - Q+A after!

@attyboy.bsky.social and I are moderating this panel at the 2nd annual Furry Studies Conference. @glopossum.com @notyet-here.bsky.social @outsidewolves.bsky.social and @cat09tails.bsky.social - live and inhuman! Virtual talks by @uglygirlswag.bsky.social @zubrovich.bsky.social & @flausch.bsky.social

Eileen Townsend's review of Room Party is out now in Artillery Magazine! Eileen isn't a furry, but she is my bff, and she really, really GETS IT. Featuring @attyboy.bsky.social @flausch.bsky.social @scribblechicken.bsky.social @zubrovich.bsky.social @julianahuxtable.bsky.social @elfboys.com & more!

Hey all! Wanna buy the zines and comics from Room Party? We put together a compiled list on our site so you can purchase directly from the artists. Give it a look! room-party.com/books/

Incredible talk describing precisely what binds us furry weirdos at the end of the world together, forming a poetic of alien fur, linking it with UFO culture ––– everybody is a friend; beautiful!! Watch it!! And watch Rukus (2018) too.

Room Party was everything we hoped it would be. Thank you to co-curators @uglygirlswag.bsky.social @aski.bsky.social and @hypertyping.bsky.social. Thank you to Bunker Projects for seeing furry art as we do. Thank you to the artists and to everyone who visited. Thank you for cuddles, hugs, and tears.

An instant classic of New Furry Cinema, created specifically for Room Party. The effect on the crowd was dramatic - we were stunned, overflowing, riveted, changed. An essential piece for thinking about the future of furry. What have capitalism's placeless places done for us? Where else can we go?

So Paul and I's new thing is whenever dejected cartoonists start complaining about dead internet we just go "clearly you're not on Furaffinity"

haven't promoted this in a while. the catboy stories are sad but true. i'm proud of how this came out. the room party exhibit ended yesterday. thank-you to anyone who attended the show and the organizers for reaching out :)

Thanks to everyone who supported the show, in-person and from afar; This has been a life-defining experience for me, and I couldn't be happier with everything we managed to do with this show.

Our closing will start soon!! Come see our very own retro poster in the style of Sy Sable by @uglygirlswag.bsky.social featuring @lordpook.bsky.social, on view in the gallery for today only ;3

Today!

"To put away shame and live in truth requires vulnerable, radical transformation. When those who have undergone that transformation recognize each other, they come together, for an infinitesimal moment, into a cosmic alignment of every beautiful thing life can be."

Interlaced, 2025. This was originally shared as an unlimited edition double-sided Riso print as part of Room Party at Bunker Projects in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

happy birthday Cypress!!! 25 today. of the couple errands I ran for @roomparty.bsky.social, im proudest of coordinating the inclusion of these two pieces. huge thanks to the show's curators for hosting him.

I’ve just read Come October by Damien Ark and it’s so haunting and beautiful and sad and devastating. Really the "Dennis Cooper of Furry". I want more furry art that goes into your bones and stays there. Thank you so much @lordpook.bsky.social for the recommendation!

ANTHROCON was straight up magical this year, cant properly express how special all of you made this! Room Party is one for the ages. It deserves the reception it got. Thank you for letting me be a dog. 🐕🐾🐶🐕‍🦺

Everything I love about furry happened in the same small building this weekend. Room Party and Sex Room should be remembered for that amazing confluence in addition to everything presented by both shows independently.

If you're in town for AC, there's still time to check out Room Party! Come by 1-5pm (and maybe later) for open gallery hours + workshops, panels, and artist talks. I'll talk about Muppets, UFO religions, and furry holarchies. PS Love is real, art is powerful, you're an animal, and there's donuts.

Room party is incredible everyone's work is so inspired you gotta check it out

Short notice, but during @anthrocon.org you can see the Room Party furry art show during its 6 week run at an independent gallery. ‪@roomparty.bsky.social‬ dogpatch.press/2025/07/05/r...

We've got an entire weekend of events at ROOM PARTY! Open gallery hours Thursday, Friday gallery crawl extended hours with live DJs, Saturday live music + drag revue + performance art, Sunday artist talks and discussions. (And after the Saturday events, THE SEX ROOM is downstairs at Roboto!)

Your Saturday plans: ROOM PARTY upstairs at Bunker Projects, THE SEX ROOM downstairs at Roboto!

I look forward to sharing new work in the anthrocon art show this year. I also have a large collage on view in Room Party at Bunker Projects, which will have special programming during AC as well. Hope to see you there ❤️

I've been buying vintage comics and zines from Ed since my first cons 20 years ago. He was one of the great furry old heads, and his 90s Mailbox Books catalogs are works of art. I'll miss spotting your yellow shirt from across the dealer's den, Ed. They don't make nerds like you anymore.

WOW!!! STILL REELING FROM THAT OPENING!!!! We counted over 600 people turning it out to see the show 0_o Thank you to everyone who's made this an insane show run so far. None of this could happen without you!!!

here's the piece i did for the show in pittsburgh. a 12"x33" framed print of this is hanging above a bed, and on the bed there is a real version of the body pillow seen in the piece. you can sit on the bed and read provided copies of my 2017 comic "Strawberry Milkshake". go there www.room-party.com

❤️❤️❤️

Putting this show together with @uglygirlswag.bsky.social, @aski.bsky.social, and @hypertyping.bsky.social has been one of the most meaningful and important things I have ever been a part of. I've spent 15 years dreaming of a moment like this in the fandom, and we made it happen! Get ready for AC!

Excited to finally announce Room Party, the first group exhibition of contemporary & experimental furry art! I've been working on this all year, with co-curators Lane Lincecum, Cass Dickenson, and Paul Peng. We've got 60 artists ready to save the world with love and queer furry weirdness! Opens 6/6!

Great little discussion of "Rukus" toward the end of this episode of Film Critters! Thanks @fussybabybit.ch and @averycutedog.bsky.social 💕

This is a great website. They have all the kazoo patents you've been looking for.
