Happy birthday Ro!! 🎉🎈

Heya there!

If you’re going to BLFC this October, I’m hosting the “Dungeons and Dining” panel for the fourth year in a row! We’re gonna focus on making good food on thin budgets!

It’s taking place on Thursday the 14th, from 11AM to 12PM, in the Ruby Room! Hope to see you there!

Look what my friend Brew drew for me!!

I asked him for a creative liberty commission, and I’m very pleased!

Green cartoon dragon with a back of large yellow scales and belly and digitigrade legs with plump drumsticks, in an apron and thigh high socks and nothing else. A gust of wind has blown the apron skirt aside showing a peek of dragon belly. He holds a big bowl with a soup spoon and chopsticks on a platter in one hand, the other hand at his hip. He smiles and winks at you.

#furryArt sketch commission for @stalerice.bsky.social ! I could kill for some pho right now... but only something small, like a carrot

just keep yourself as safe as you can, and stay with friends. If you go to TFF, I’ll be there

I don’t know how things would go down, best I can say is to look into what they’re expecting you to have on hand at the airport and to, if anything, over prepare

There has been recent horror stories, but not every holiday for folks abroad have been bad ones,

Oh gosh, thank you a bunch!! That all means a lot, thank you for checking out my stuff, looking forward to it!

Help Rodney Taylor, a Disabled Double Amputee Being Held by ICE Rodney has been in the country more than 40 years. He's in solitary confinement in Georgia, being denied disability accommodations and having his medical needs ignored. He must be released.

Rodney Taylor still needs our help!

He’s still locked in an ICE camp.

He’s still going without his new prosthetic legs.

He’s still facing deportation to Liberia.

He’s still having necessary disability accommodations ignored.

Please keep sharing his story. Public pressure works!

Thank you Chuuu! Ima certainly try! 💚

Heck yeah, it’ll be good to see you there again!

You can be a counter spokespup for other beer companies!

“Try this other company’s beer!”

Thank you all again who shared this post a bunch this week, I was so surprised, and I very much appreciate it!

It’s now Friday, and the dragon didn’t get any bids, so they havent been sold just yet! If anyone wants to claim them for $50 (or wants to work out another arrangement), I’m happy to talk!

I’ve never said it before, but I’m dragon-kin, but for now saying “I’m a dragon” still feels the most appropriate for me

🧵 5/6

That’s who I was back then, better than any photo could depict. I was a timid, shy little dragon. I know I’m a human being, I don’t know why I’ve always felt this way, what kinda neuroscience is behind it, but it doesn’t matter

🧵 4/6

I’ve had these feeling for all of my cognizant life but didn’t have the words when I was little. Art of my sona has always felt very “authentic” to me. Seeing my sis draw an event in our lives with our adolescent selves as our ‘sonas was very visceral for me in a positive way

🧵 3/6

I’ve been grappling with this for a long time now. I don’t believe in spirituality or reincarnation, but I’ve always been a dragon to myself. With a lot of thought and advice from friends, ultimately I recognize that that’s the part that matters, I’m a dragon

🧵2/6

For years now I’ve known the concepts of otherkin and therian exist, but haven’t called myself either, because I wasn’t sure if I fit the description, given that most sources I found alluded that spirituality was a default

🧵1/6

I’ve been thinking recently about otherkin/therian in relation to myself. As far back as I was cognizant, I’ve always seen myself as a dragon, had feeling from deep within me about wishing I was one, while feeling that deep down I was one.

Nana-nana na na na, nana-nana na na

(Looks fantastic!)

Hey so, my friend Rudolf aka RudolfWolph aka Rudolf.bsky.social had to deactivate his account due to his toxic family finding out about him being a furry, and is getting kicked out of his housing situation. If you're able to, pls share or donate to his ko-fi ko-fi.com/rudolfwolph for moving $$

Relish and fries, with a side of yogurt!

I saw a post you made to someone implying that those disagreeing with you are evil and intentionally trying to spread lies and literally seek to hurt you. I hope you don’t believe that

I don’t glean insincerity from you, but I think you’re painting a false picture of others intent internally

1/2

I’m only sharing links to data because you said “all the data” proved Rolo false, and I’m trying to share data to to actually bring weight to what’s being said

I don’t dislike you Duncan, but I think you’re paranoid, and that worries me for anyone

Heya there!

I made this little neck-pillow dragon as an experiment back in December, and they’re a comfy little pal!

If anyone wants to own them, I’m doing a bid! Starting at $50, ends week from today, Friday the 26th!

Comment or DM your price, and I’ll count you!

The Business Impact Of Diversity, Equity And Inclusion One of the challenges that DEI initiatives face is the difficulty of measuring their impact on organizational performance. This new study attempts to address this shortcoming.

“36% of Leaders compared to 14% of Nascent organizations report beating their most current fiscal year revenue expectations by more than 10%”

“This study is an excellent first step in trying to provide actual data that leadership can use to advocate for a budget to support DEI initiatives”

DEI Doesn’t Lower Hiring Standards—Here’s the Data That Proves It Think DEI lowers hiring standards? The data says otherwise. Discover how inclusive hiring leads to better talent, stronger teams, and real results.

“Organizations that invest in DEI aren’t just “being nice”. They’re being smart.

According to a McKinsey report, companies in the top quartile for ethnic and cultural diversity outperform those in the bottom quartile by 36% in profitability (McKinsey & Company, 2023)”

Big freakin congrats Derg 👏

Thank you for putting it in such a concise way!
