If you like any of the interviews I've published, consider checking out my friend Ash's blog!

He writes media reviews and posts about furry queerness that I might write if I didn't have an adversarial relationship with writing

As someone with an internalized prejudice against photography (I've seen too many photography shows, mostly by students, that were deadly levels of boring/cliche), there comes a time to be rational and say, "Yeah, that makes sense, Rinzy, it's worth thinking about."

β€œSo, that piece there with the kangal dog on the wood, I did that gold leaf halo behind it to kind of deify them because I really do see them as these holy and special critters. I feel like I need to honor them. They’re just so incredible!”

β€œI really like welding and metal sculpting because it’s like candy for all of my senses. There’s the sound, the feeling, there’s the physical aspect of it, there’s the creative flow, and it also taps into my more academic background... I love the chemistry of metal.”

As a furry who believes in FREEDOM, I reserve the right to make any animal noises regardless of species.

Locktober is when people lock in (by wearing chastity cages for the whole month).

current is a path winding its way to my palace, and my palace,
with its flowing structure, lies at the bottom of the lake, in the
triangle of fire, earth and air."

Fuck RFK Jr and everyone who's complicit in giving the quack power, may history piss on his grave when he's gone.

This is my political outburst for today. Stay awesome, neurospicy friends, we will prevail! Back to being a silly otter.

β€œ...the art side, the painting side of my art journey, if you want to call it that, started out as kind of a way to de-stress from the PhD… I think me and my undergrad helpers probably measuredβ€”I think I counted this out onceβ€”probably 10,000 trees over the course of the project.”
