Got the new sungshade from my car. THAT IS BAD ASS

There's an unboxing video I made for Dire but that will have to go on YouTube due to length. It needs a little editing to make it shorter too. I wanted to at least share this video showing a close-up look and thoughts on the build of this head from @fursonalities.com

Today it finally happened! The hubby debuted the new amazing partial fursuit I got him recently, made by @fursonalities.com ! We suited together at the 50th celebration for Santa Cruz Pride today. Good times with the bay area furs contingent 🌈❤️

I made the lamp from A Christmas Story but worse :>

Here are the Top 5 Dogs of the week!

Even a small thing like a rainbow pin can mean so much to someone. I’m always so happy to see lil things like this. I started pinning my work gear last year for this exact reason.

Florida furs, help me out! Are you aware of any local groups/meets near Sebastian, Florida? It's 40 miles south of Cocoa Beach on the eastern side. I'm asking for a friend and I'd really appreciate the help. ❤️ & ✌️

Yo! Check out my FWA2025 Con video! Now live on YouTube. I think its my best one yet! For quite a special occasion <3 See you next time! youtu.be/1BZ1msHJsc0?...

Guess I'll toss one in for #Pawday just before midnight. Taken by the lovely @milobarks.bsky.social at FWA.

Lastly a few more photos with friends :)

To cap things off for FWA, I met many old friends and made many new ones. There will be some stellar photos in time from the Wildlife photo shoot, a video created over 2 nights at a party, and also random shots with friends once they're edited.

had a blast and I even met @alekgator.bsky.social while recovering from dancing hardcore to @twopiece.bsky.social with his incredible set. The next day I went with an awesome group to do the famous Brick Store Pub. Amazing brews were had along with incredible noms.

The moonlight festival worked out well for me but that was by luck because I went just after 10pm. I made an educated guess figuring kinks would need to be worked out. The dance was amazing and the vendor/display areas were great. Water stations and amazing DJs on stage. @yecent.bsky.social and I

But, it wasn't. No email, no mention on website, no mention by staff. I found out when I picked up my swag 2 days after activation of my bracelet. Epic fail. The best nicely organized FWA event for me was the aquarium and that was EPIC. Organized, smooth, efficient. Found the bus and used it.

was that the sponsor perks were not clearly defined on where to access them. I was mailed my badge, but I had to activate it on site...ok. The sponsors had a separate QR code to login for virtual queues. Where was that? In the swag for some reason? Had this been mentioned anywhere that's be fine.

Also, having things spread out so wide between hotels and on different levels caused massive congestion from point A to B. The virtual queues were a catastrophic failure of an experiment IMHO. The times were not adhered to and planning seemed shaky at best around its functionality. What was worse

So, quick discussion about FWA. The con faced big organizational issues due to 17K+ attendees and I'm sure the volunteer type nature of things...BUT, some things could have been much better. Renaming con-ops made no sense. I talked with over 10 staff who had no idea where or if it existed.
