I don't like bots and won't stand for being followed by one. If your profile picture is of a lovely woman and you immediately follow me after I mention a specific keyword, I am going to block you. I deeply apologize if you are a lovely woman who happens to like what I like. Stop looking like a bot.
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.

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 ❤️

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.)

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.

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.

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.

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.
