Fursuiting at a con thread:
I've been attending cons for 12 years and have suited at them for 4 years. Keeping a fursuit clean and fresh over the course of a weekend can be challenging. Here are some useful tips I’ve picked up over the years. Thread below.

I'm trading one mask for another.
If my colleagues and I can wear an N95 mask and a faceshield for 12 hrs while walking 8-10 miles in the ER, you can wear a mask for 20 minutes to get groceries!

5 years ago I put on Cinder for the first time. 20+ cons and numerous adventures later and he's still looking good as new! A testament to his construction and some basic fursuiting care.
Working triage in the ER can be stressful. Determining what is and isn't an emergency takes knowledge and experience.

Quick PSA:
If you ever wake up and there's a bat in your room, you really should get the rabies vaccine/rabies immunoglobulin ASAP. You don't wanna fuck around with rabies.
Hygiene tip:
Cough and sneeze into the bend of your elbow, instead of into your paws. This will help prevent the spread of germs! Remember the acronym D.A.B.

Your blind date told you to meet him under the “Big R” followed by “I hope you like dogs!”
Upon arriving, this what you see. Do you still go on the date?
Your friend set you up on a blind date and this is what you see when you arrive. He smells like tennis balls and you can hear the sound of his tail thumping against the bench.
What do you do?

One of the ER docs told me that she’s happy that I started working here and that she appreciates the work I do.
Essentially she called me a good boy and that’s all the motivation I needed today!
Now that I've been suspended from Twitch for teaching, I've reached official bad dog status.
Time to sell snugs in a dark alley to recoup losses. $5 for 10 mins! Flops are extra!

First time dealing with a contagious virus eh?
WASH YOUR HANDS!
Hand hygiene is the best way to help prevent the spread of disease. It's simple, easy, and soap is readily available! NO EXCUSES!

It's ok to be scared. It's ok take precautions to protect yourself. It's NOT ok to panic.
Stay calm, stay rational, and practice good hand hygiene! We'll make it through this!
