At the end of the day, it's fanfic. It's not a compliment, but it's a deep engagement with your work, and it struck a nerve, and it's a world of uncomfortable ideas they feel the need to write their way though. You got 'em.

She needed the black nitrile ones...

Five Lionni Classics (1986) VHS : Random House Home Video : Free Download, Borrow, and Streaming : Internet Archive Here is my recording for 'Five Lionni Classics' which is a tape from circa 1986-1987 that adapts five of Leo Lionni's children's book stories into...

I ran out of time to show two cartoons during Feel Weird(er) at FC. One was the inflation classic "King Size Canary." The other was "Frederick," about the power of art in dark times. It's not kinky, but it's good medicine. (If you think it's too simplistic, relax and be less cynical.) First 7:00

Not gonna Weigh In since there’s been an abundance of Weighing In’s but if yall ever see me advocating for or (Heaven Forbid) using AI in my artwork then I have been replaced by a doppelgänger and you have my permission to shoot on sight.

Stuck in my head for months: this old meme, but the lyrics are "Fox, I'm a Pufferfox, and I puff puff puff"

True story.

whoa!

The thing in that book that stuck with me was the way she uses the word "scalloped" - I had a dissociative episode in 2017 and it really captured that feeling of emptiness and loss.

I've read that book. No one knows who the author is, so it could be fictional, but the descriptions feel pretty legitimate. Nothing quite like this, though. The operators are really just anyone who she perceives to be pulling the strings.

It's been a while since I looked through it. A few fun collections of shorts and oddities, but mostly 70s things like Emmanuelle, Candy Stripers, Au Pair Girls, etc.

They got us good.

I have a lot of porn on betamax. From the time when old men typed labels for their off-air recordings of softcore sex comedies.

Well shit, I have the same model.

Mitsuwa Marketplace for Japanese food, but vegan options are limited. The Hala Kahiki for cocktails, but not the food. Food court at fashion outlet mall. Chicago diner in Logan Square 30-60 min on the blue line. So uhh mostly, you gotta go to the grocery. Also fun: American Science and Surplus.

Artist Panel 2: Atty and I moderate, with an all-star lineup - @cat09tails.bsky.social, @glopossum.com, @notyet-here.bsky.social, and @outsidewolves.bsky.social. We were all exhausted and manic but we powered through! Thrill as I interject with a long rant about furry contemporary art!

Non-human?: This is where all the queer trans therian weirdness is! Highly recommended!!! Also, anti-furry legislation, and art historian Belle Walston talks sparklefurs.

Rod O'Riley's keynote is straight from the heart.

In Media Roars: Sticker semiotics, games, music. Ian Gray's talk was one of the best of the conference.

Furry Planet: Eurofurence, campus furries, Furscience.

All of Barroo's work is great, but I especially recommend "The Trade," which screened this year at Room Party and BLFC.

furrystudies.org - and videos of all the talks will be posted soon. You can watch the videos from 2024 under "past events" though.

Furry Studies! Furries studying furries! Furry art, furry culture, furry identity, furry history, furry futures!

Furry Studies 2025 was an academic conference in the same way Room Party was a contemporary art show. Which is to say, we did it on our terms - silly but serious, personal and political, playful yet powerful. Feral.

From now on, this is a conversation between furries, not about us.
