My thanks to everyone who attended Tugrik's memorial service on FurryMuck last night.

There were people taking logs, and I'll post links when they are up. In addition, there are at least two memorial pieces being written about him, for there is much to tell about the man.

FURRYMUCK USERS: The memorial service for Tugrik on FurryMuck will be this coming Friday (August 8, 2025) at 9 pm CST (10 EST, 8 MST, 7 PST). Instructions for how to attend are on the Park bulletin board.

Please pass the word to all who may be interested.

A blue square with a photograph of the goddess Isis in a painting from the tomb of King Siptah in the Valley of the Kings in Luxor, Egypt. She is kneeling behind a lion bed and her hand is reaching out toward a round hieroglyph on the floor in front of her. Hieroglyphs for her name (a throne and an egg) are on her head and she is wearing a short white bag-crown. The text says "Happy birthday Isis!" and "Epagomenal Day 4."

Happy birthday, Aset (Isis)! (see patreon.com/tsiuda for my annual birthdays-of-the-gods countdown to the pharaonic New Year).

I am heartbroken.

An important person in furry fandom died today. Rest easy, Tugrik. May we carry on your legacy

Federal employees can pray and preach in the workplace under new Trump rules The White House noted that similar language was issued under President Clinton.

From the Department of "This Won't End Well Department" the feds have approved proselytizing and public prayer in work spaces. Mormons vs JW's vs Pentecostals vs Muslims vs Satanists vs FlyingSpaghettiMonster.

Sounds apocalyptic.

Always glad to answer brief questions here. The forum at HallOfMaat.com is a good place to ask questions. So is the Message board at UnexplainedMysteries.com -- but more snarky than Ma'at.
