The distance has been hard with your toon boyfriend shooting a cartoon in the rainforest, but you video call every night. One evening, a peel of thunder causes him to leap out of your phone & into your arms. He blushes profusely. You share a tender embrace before helping him back through the screen.

I don't need "antidepressants" or "therapy." I need the cute cow waitress at the local toon diner to call me "sugar" with an accent thicker than the chocolate milkshake she just brought to the table

I know we just did a weekend-long party that hosted over 17,000 furries, but I have been back at work for about four hours and I think I'm ready for another one

Of COURSE I believe in “treating others like you want to be treated.” That’s WHY I’m always jumping into people’s arms and slamming two pies against the sides of their head. It’s WHY I honk noses and yank tails like I’m trying to start a lawnmower. I am laying an important foundation

Northern Maine or Vermont if you want to be dramatically removed from modern hustle & bustle and find someplace more charmingly rustic, western Massachusetts if you just like the part where you need to drive 90 minutes to get anywhere cool

After having some time to recover & reflect, I can safely say that AC was one of the best cons I've ever done. It was breakneck, it was crowded, and it was exhausting, but I have never had a weekend that truly had NO dull moments. Would LEAP at the chance to go again. I love this community, dude.

Spent two hours in the Pittsburg TSA line. Even with an agent pulling me and a group to an alternate checkpoint, I had to sprint to my gate and made it with only two minutes to spare. It’s a good thing I spent my weekend having my nerves and my calves steeled, or else I might not have made it!

Escaping home from Anthrocon in the middle of the night. Lyft driver passed by the waterfront and I saw someone dressed as Santa pounding what looked like a bottle of vodka. The earth really is full of things. Thanks for an irreplaceable weekend, AC. 💚

Has my brain been warped by being at a furry convention all weekend or does my drink straight-up look like Bandit

The closest places to us are a PAIN to get to, so I was very glad to walk half a mile for a good plate of it.

Anthrocon so far has been an insane whirlwind. I usually have more time to gather my thoughts but I am always going somewhere or doing something, and I love it. If I have still not bumped into you, you’re ordered to approach me with incredible speed

OK, I’ll say it. That was the most fun I’ve ever had suiting. Suiting with a second gator mixed with a crazy enthusiastic crowd was perfect. Stopped every twenty feet for a photo, always having people thrilled to see us. That was amazing. So next year I GOTTA do the parade. Holy cow.

Far and above my favorite part of cons are the wind-down room chats. After a long day of running around and being overwhelmed, it’s something special to decompress with a mixed group of your oldest friends and people you’ve just met. There’s nothing else like it. Love y’all. See ya tomorrow. 💚🦆

Anthrocon thus far has been an absolute jam. I was worried the size & scope of the event would make it impossible to find people, but I’ve been blessed to spend the whole day with a few good friends. The enthusiasm is infectious! I love being a furry, y’all.

The good news is this line is moving at a REALLY good clip. There’s still a hell of a lot of it but it’s cool, people are being nice, and the only two attempts at a howl were unsuccessful.

“Here for work or for fun?” my taxi driver asks. “Fun, I hope. I’m heading to the furry convention.” “Lotta people headed to that!” he whistles. “I saw one of them down on the corner yesterday, had to be eight feet tall. Thought he was some kinda chupacabra.” “Ah!” I feign insight. “That’s Doug.”

Apparently saying “I’m null” only confuses people and qualifies you for additional screening. No idea why, I figured these were obvious truths

The TSA agent who pulled me aside sighs. “I need to pat down your groin, do I have your consent?” I nod. He finds nothing. “This thing has some kinda freak code.” He waves me on. “I’m not the first one, huh?” He looks at me with tired eyes. “I have touched a LEGENDARY amount of crotch this morning.”
