MFW I write two flawed characters so perfect for each other, that every time they have a moment together, neither will walk or fly straight for the rest of the day. Is it me, or them that keep hijacking the plot for sex? I don't know who's in charge anymore. #furryfiction

If Dolly was our constant reminder that it was Good to be Good, Tim Curry was our reminder that it was Good to be Weird. Embrace your strangeness, sing with Muppets, wear your lingerie with a leather jacket, and fuck with uptight people who hate anything that makes them remotely uncomfortable.

I saw that DV was financially supporting FA. I attended their panel at NFC & saw nothing to make me think they’re a threat to anyone, the only real reason for banning imo. The equivalence the callout vid makes between ferals and zoos is unsubstantiable. I’ve pulled my funding from FA. Sad to see.

Sorry to hear this happened to you. Do you have any details you can share? I’m a feral artist so if this is banning targeted at ferals, I’d like to know more & take action.

You have an outdoor job? Nice. I miss that.

Happy hatchday, birdfriend. Hope you have a good one. Also, glad to have finally met you in person this year at my party at NFC. Hope we can do that again some day!

Think I'll pin this one so new folks can see how crazy I am. This is the original BirdsTaking from 2021, that was actually done in 1 year.

I bought a couple of cheap plastic fake candle lanterns at the thrift store (hey it was 99 cents! 🎶) and with a bit of sanding and hammer forge paint, they look stellar! Gonna use these on my dealer table as decor.

Working earnestly on The Bonding again after recovering from weeks of travel for bird work & book/art appearances & catching up on neglected business stuff. A thread involving Sol (Pepro's mother) & the Folegal she is encamped with is my current, & final, addition to it, & ouch it hurts my heart.

The bells are my favorite part! I wear my eagle bells around sometimes on their own, but especially fun to jingle in private nest encounters. ;>

Applied to #Fursquared w/ my new avian anatomy ("Getting to Know Your Bird Body") and Avian Story Hour (reading from Whiterock) panels. I really enjoy the reading panel as I love voicing the characters. Got some good compliments on it at FM 2w ago. Anyway, hope to get approved & see you there!

Did some thrift shopping a few days ago for fake foliage to adorn my dealers den booths. Easily found several options and disassembled them for repurposing. If you need similar, don’t buy it off Amazon. Buy it secondhand. Better quality & you don’t feed the oligarchs.

Caught a glimpse of Mount Rainier while driving up White Pass this morning. Always a shock this time of year to see so much more exposed rock and smaller and thinner glaciers than even 30 years ago. Mount Rainier National Park #nationalparks #climatechange #glaciers #mountains #MountRainier

Foreground has shadowed firs framing the side of the photo that lead toward low forested hills below Mount Rainier showing so much rock now and much shorter and smaller glaciers. Blue skies overhead.

Yeah pretty pristine. Had some thread jammed up in it. We figure it was COVID project but whomever moved on or died & relatives put it to the curb. Pretty good stock of parts and thread too.

Hal Aetus @aetusart.com · 22/09/2026

Husbird found this free sewing machine on the curb a few houses down. I set it up and did my first sew job, hemming up this table runner/banner. Not perfect (dt my inexperience) but looks pretty good! Not bad for free.

I didn’t forget you, but I didn’t want to put you in the spot in social media lol. Thank you for coming by. I appreciated the lady’s candor and we got a little (nervous) laugh out of it at least.

I did all right at yesterday’s rainy book event. Made some new friends & sold books & stickers. A furry came by & bought a copy of Whiterock. Priceless moment: A lady saw the adult edition of Whiterock & asked, “Do birds have orgasms?” I was speechless for a moment, then simply replied, “Yes.”

The app runs in a stupid phone-sized sliver. Annoying, isn’t it? I shitcanned the app and just use a browser tab.

XD I suppose it does. “These are my eagle guardians. They are trained to protect me from all annoyances. So what business have you?”

I got a stupid idea this morning, after contemplating how Orange Asshole will still be annoying us after his body dies. So I photoshopped this together. I'm so sorry.

Hal Aetus @aetusart.com · 19/09/2026

Maybe they're actually Kuato from Total Recall, and that's his mutant baby-sized dude reaching out of his shirt to help. Nah, it's AI-slop I'm sure.

Photo of Kuato show his mutant embedded in his belly.

Nice job on uncursing the usually-cursed, beak-forward view! ❤️

Hal Aetus @aetusart.com · 19/09/2026

I hear ya. I'm an avian vet & it's so common in the industry to refer to clients as "owners," & totally rubs me the wrong way, along w/tendency to perpetually infantilize adult sentient creatures. We wouldn't want that done to us. Animals deserve all the same respect, just for being who they are.

010

Hal Aetus @aetusart.com · 19/09/2026

I hope you continue to get the respect you deserve. And if we can't get respect for who we are, at least the quiet, normalized dignity we all deserve as human beings.

Thanks birdfriend! I gotta say that dealing at cons is not, for me, a great way to make money (I usually don’t if you count all expenses and prep). But the encouragement & inspiration I get from others is priceless. So many good comments at this con. 🥰

One of the time-filler sketches I did at my #furrymigration dealers table today. It’s a scene from The Bonding, but the next book in my Avian Age series. The vellum layer is plotting out where to position birds in the scene. Probably one of several sketches I’ll do before the final piece.
