Where to Find Buddy at Midwest Furfest 2025

Tue, 02 Dec 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Midwest Furfest is my local con these days! I’m really looking forward to seeing everyone there—typically, I’m booked for a concert with the Chicago Gay Men’s Chorus the same weekend as MFF, but I made a point to clear my calendar this year. I worked with eleven masterful authors as the editor on Indulge: A Fatfur Anthology from FurPlanet, which will be on sale at their dealers’ table! We’d really appreciate if you support us by buying a copy!

On the FurAffinity hack

Wed, 21 Aug 2024 00:00:00 +0000

I was offline most of last evening, so I was surprised by the hack of FurAffinity and their associated Twitter accounts. It’s shocking that someone would do this, but don’t let it throw you.

What they want is to discourage us. We are a community. We found each other and encouraged each other to explore and be our true selves, in a lot of ways that make bigots uncomfortable and scared. Stand fast. Nobody online can hurt us in a way that matters.

On Inauguration Day 2021

Wed, 20 Jan 2021 00:00:00 +0000

As I write this, Joe Biden is less than an hour away from being sworn in as the 46th President of the United States. I can’t say with honesty I feel tremendous relief so much as trepidation. Trepidation is a step up from existential dread, and I’ll take what I can get for now.

I’m not afraid of Biden per se. By all accounts he is honorable man who genuinely wants to do his best for his country. I also think he takes other opinions and, thank God, facts into account when making decisions. He’s imperfect but not irrational.
