Not sure where I'll be hanging out the most on the internet these days. Feels like it's gonna be less here and more elsewhere as time goes on. You can always find all of my public online presence at .
Watch out, this dog's got a new look... and shape & size! Is he big? Is he small? Both!
New suit by
@StoofStudios
! It's hard to describe how incredibly fun and surreal he is to wear! And also challenging, I have a lot to learn but am so excited to bring him to life!!
Furry conventions are run by the furry community for the furry community. Feedback and constructive criticism are absolutely necessary for cons to improve, but I'm so tired of the "us vs. them" attitude it seems so many have towards cons and the volunteers making them happen.
Contemplated keeping it under wraps for a bit, but… I can't help myself. I can't believe this is real!
Hello? Yes. This is dog.
Huge thanks to the
@lemonbrat
team. I'm honestly at a loss for words to describe how incredible this is to me. 💙
One of my favorite photos from
#ANE2020
. Still can't believe how awesome that weekend was. It's been a really weird 2 months since and I can't wait to see these two again.

Anthrocon is so close and I am SO EXCITED to run around and be a dog as much as I can! Maybe be some other animals too 😉. I WANT to interact while in suit, so if you see me, please say hi, ask for a hug, take a pic, and treat me like a dog!

For those that are curious, it's what some call a "crawling quad" suit. It's like crawling on your hands and knees, but your legs are held bent. Some padding and braces help distribute weight and balance proportions.
Hope to have him at MFF, if the stars align!
Public suiting bingo card: have someone excitedly hand you their dog ☑️
She was very excited and cute. Did not pee on me. Good doggo. 12/10.

Quick tiny test print turned out alright! I'll have to figure out scaling to fit my large head and slicing to fit my small print bed. Thanks for sharing this!
If your feed is like mine today, I think you could use even MORE fluffy animal pics this

Do what you can to be safe and healthy. And wash your hands! But don't forget to find fun and enjoy life, too! 💙
Came out as gay a couple days ago to someone in my family for the first time. It went about as well as it could have, which is a huge relief, but I am emotionally exhausted and still scared about the future. Baby steps.

MFF 2019 → 2021
partial → fullsuit
scarf → bandana
volunteer → staff
lost and clueless → surrounded by friends
A lot more than just this has changed in the past two years. Here's to the next two and many more!

Decompressing after
@cfconvention
and it's hard to describe how wonderful everything was. It honestly felt like what I dreamed cons might be like when I started thinking about going to one 3 years ago. Not sure when I'll be able to make it back, but I definitely want to! 💙
I was a dog at a "human library" today! Had a ton of fun getting "checked out" by curious strangers and talking with them about furry. A lot of refreshingly genuine, thoughtful questions and surprisingly deep conversations.
I'm here.... I'm actually here.
Watching videos of
@anthrocon
years ago was one of the things that made me feel like maybe this whole furry thing might be something for me. It's surreal finally seeing it all in person.
I think it's gonna be an emotional weekend.
It's one thing to spout "X was bad" or "they should just do Y" or "do better" to your carefully curated echo chamber of a social network. It's an entirely different thing to actually volunteer hours upon hours of your time to *DO* something about it.
Every con attendee has at least one opinion on what could have been done better. That's thousands of ideas that need thousands of hours to make into reality. Go engage in conversation with staff. Offer your time and resources to make things better, not just your whimsy.
Throwback to my very first
#FursuitFriday
and the moment I saw myself in the mirror for the first time. You have no idea how big of a stupid smile I had on my face under there. 💙
My first FWA is right around the corner! What's good that's worth making it to? Not really sure who all I know that's going. I'd love to make a point to hang out (or at least cross paths) with folks I don't get to see or talk to often! HMU!

Almost exactly one year ago, I decided to finally act on a long-held curiosity and registered for MFF.
The only thing I regret about that decision is not doing it years sooner.
If you told me then how much this fandom means to me now, I wouldn't believe you.
I know none of this is a novel thought. And I know there are holes to poke at in my line of thinking.
I'm just tired of people looking at the community they're a part of, demanding it be better, and doing nothing meaningful to make it a reality other than complain.
