Website Updates

Made some updates to the website today. This website.

Notably, it’s actually a pretty big growth from what I intended just a couple months ago to be just a simple blog. I’ve started adding and fleshing out some more real content:

  • Added some of the stuff I’ve written over the years (and more is on the way as I clean it up).
  • Added a terribly pretentious About page. :)
  • Added an incomplete list of Links.

I’ve also updated, for the first time since 2006, my “How To Do Your First Furry Con” guide. I figured eight years was probably enough time to have elapsed for some of the information to become stale. Things like smart phones didn’t exist, and things like “travelers’ checks” did.

Also, space background! I like space!

In other news, I’m heading out to go skiing this weekend in West Virginia. This will be my first time up on skis in an unbelievable 12 years. Let’s see how much of this I’ve forgotten.

On Burned Furs (2.0) and the Death of the Fandom

So here we are, five months later. This shit is still going, getting louder and more annoying. People are doxxing each other, block lists are being passed around, chat logs are being leaked and a lot of digital bits are being spilled. People are accusing each other of killing the fandom and saying that it’s already dead or something. Others are taking the true spirit of iconoclasm and applying it to the fandom’s reputation and history. All the while a lot of people are looking on as shit gets more and more outlandish.

Holy shit, this really is Burned Furs 2.0. I never thought I’d see another fandom-wide shitfest like it, but here we are. What a time to be alive.

Let's Talk About Furry Cons

We need to talk about cons.

This post began as a series of tweets, in reaction to Furry Weekend Atlanta’s announcement that they were going to try something different to replace the fursuit parade. This is, of course, a divisive issue. Some people have called parades “death marches” (which I think is a bit of an exaggeration) while others are apoplectic with rage that their favorite event of the con is changing.

On Trolling, Nazis and the Furry Fandom

Happy Easter everyone.

So this started out as a tweetstorm, but I thought it might be better as a blog post, so here goes.

So we seem to be having a bit of an issue right now with neo-Nazis in the furry fandom. Now, whether these people are actual neo-Nazis or just middle class punk kids looking to get a rise out of people is another question, but for the time being, I am going to take these people at their word and assume they actually believe in the tenets of National Socialism. After all, when you retweet posts celebrating Hitler’s birthday, you just might be a neo-Nazi.
