Check out WWFC @wwfcofficial.bsky.social October 2-4, which will be at Hidden Hollow in Belleville, Ohio for the first time this year. Registration is now open! wwfc.carrd.co #FursuitFriday 1103
Jaru @jaru.bsky.social · 25/05/2026Kicking back after the end of the rock tour! Thanks to all who joined us at @anthrohio.org 2026: Rock You Like A Furricane and helped make it such an amazing experience! We look forward to having you join us for AnthrOhio 2027: Island Paradise! 1142
Jaru @jaru.bsky.social · 22/05/2026Jaru is all set for @anthrohio.org 2026: Rock You Like A Furricane! I hope to see you there, today through Sunday! #FursuitFriday 0283
Jaru @jaru.bsky.social · 05/05/2026Be sure to vote in your state's primary elections if you can! They help the parties get a feel for how extreme/centered their voting members are trending and what talking points are making more of an impact. Many important local issues are also often put on the primary ballot! 031
Jaru @jaru.bsky.social · 20/04/2026Hmm, I guess that could be a bit misleading. The pic with the beard is from today, having regrown my beard over the past year, letting it grow freely since after AnthrOhio 2025 and getting longer than it had ever been before! 030
Jaru @jaru.bsky.social · 20/04/2026Today is one full year since the shaving with @shutterbear.bsky.social at closing ceremonies @anthrohio.org 2025. It helped raise an extra $2,000 for a total of over $15,000 for Ohio Nature Education! Having a beard since 1995, it took weeks to recognize myself :P OhioNature.org 2101
Jaru @jaru.bsky.social · 11/04/2026Welcome home Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and Jeremy Hansen of @nasaartemis.bsky.social ! Truly an amazing achievement! #Artemis2 #FursuitFriday 031
Jaru @jaru.bsky.social · 10/04/2026@bucees.bsky.social opened their first Ohio location in Huber Heights this past Monday. I'll have to swing by next time I head out that way! #FursuitFriday 000
Jaru @jaru.bsky.social · 13/03/2026Happy Friday the 13th! I used a Dremel to modify the hockey mask for Jaru's snout, I found the real machete in the back corner of my yard after the cable company did some work back there, and I got the shirt from @Woot #FridayThe13th #FursuitFriday 022
Jaru @jaru.bsky.social · 13/02/2026Happy Valentine's Day! Kija has only made a few appearances over the years, but Jaru wanted to give her a valentine. It looks like it came as a surprise to the doggy in the painting! #ValentinesDay #FursuitFriday 040
Jaru @jaru.bsky.social · 06/02/2026I've still got my Kermit the Frog Muppet Show mug from 1978 that was brand new when I got from my aunt. My younger sister got Miss Piggy and my older sister got Fozzie the Bear. Amazing to see Made in England vs Made in China 000
Jaru @jaru.bsky.social · 06/02/2026I was apprehensive about what to expect with the new Muppet Show, but wow, they did an amazing job of staying true to the original look, feel, goofiness, heart of the original! It is definitely worth catching it if you can! I am looking forward to the future episodes :-) 110
Jaru @jaru.bsky.social · 03/02/2026Happy National Sled Dog Day! For some reason some other furry little critter seems to be getting all of the attention today. #NationalSledDogDay 041
Jaru @jaru.bsky.social · 02/02/2026She was also an absolutely amazing writer and performer on SCTV! That is how I will always remember her 010
Jaru @jaru.bsky.social · 30/01/2026We got about 16 inches of snow this week. Great time to go skiing! Jaru skied in fursuit for the first time last year, and will be doing it again tomorrow! #FursuitFriday 040
Jaru @jaru.bsky.social · 20/12/2025My great-grandmother made the Christmas banner back in the 1980s. I thought that mice had gnawed at the side while stored in the basement, but no one actually saw the critter in action. I am now wondering if maybe it was a beaver! 020
Jaru @jaru.bsky.social · 20/12/2025I saw @hundredsofbeavers.bsky.social again on Wednesday, this time in Dayton with friends who had not seen it yet. They were giving out Christmas mini-posters. I figured the @bucees.bsky.social Beer Cheese popcorn goes well with the theme. Not quite a fursuit, but close enough for #FursuitFriday ! 150
Jaru @jaru.bsky.social · 02/11/2025Same here. Let Noon remain when the sun is at the peak in the sky. Change the mentality of what people think is a good number on the clock for when they wake, sleep, eat, work, etc. But Noon should be left alone to indicate the natural phenomenon of the sun, NOT the psychological number on a clock. 010
Jaru @jaru.bsky.social · 01/11/2025November 1st - Woke up to a bit of unexpected scruff and realized it is the start of No-Shave November. If this is Day 1, I wonder what Day 30 is going to be like! #NoShaveNovember 010
Jaru @jaru.bsky.social · 30/10/2025Try "clicking" with your wheel "button" on a web link in a web browser. It should open the link in a new tab. Lots of programs work as if you did a Ctrl-Click or a Shift-Click when you use the middle mouse button. 100
Jaru @jaru.bsky.social · 30/10/2025I've always had three (or more) button mice, first one came with our old 286 which came with DOS (we installed Windows 3.0 on it a couple years later.) The middle mouse button was program specific. But just about all mouse wheels actually act as a middle mouse button if you press down on it. 110
Jaru @jaru.bsky.social · 30/10/2025And then @naturalhabitat.bsky.social posts this today: www.youtube.com/shorts/SD9C8...youtube.comCats may curl up to passing patients, likely sensing changes in scent, body heat, or breathingYouTube video by Natural Habitat Shorts 000
Jaru @jaru.bsky.social · 30/10/2025As usual I am finding out about National [TOPIC] Day from Dom Tiberi late at night while watching the local 10TV News. Happy National Cat Day! (Yes, dogs and cats can get along!) #NationalCatDay 2262
Jaru @jaru.bsky.social · 24/09/2025I was just about to head to bed when I heard on the local news that today is #NationalDogsInPoliticsDay! 190
Jaru @jaru.bsky.social · 19/09/2025We want a pitcher, not a belly itcher! Hey batter, batter, SWING! Sell the team! Let's Go Bucs! Happy #NationalTalkLikeAPirateDay! I wonder what type of pirate Jaru will be at the Ohio Renaissance Festival on Saturday for their Pirate Weekend.... #FursuitFriday 040
Jaru @jaru.bsky.social · 02/09/2025SPAM, Tang, and S'mores are all necessities for a proper camping trip! And cobbler is a definite bonus :-) 000
Jaru @jaru.bsky.social · 08/08/2025Happy National SPAM Musubi Day! I have wanted to try musubi for years so I tried my hand at making it myself to celebrate the special day. These two got to it before I had a chance to eat it though! #NationalSpamMusubiDay #FursuitFriday 030
Jaru @jaru.bsky.social · 31/07/2025Jaru is just a bit of a fan of SPAM (and yes, the meat product is in all caps, that is not just yelling, but who wouldn't be happy to enthusiastically call out for *SPAM*? Spam when not in all caps refers to junk email. #NationalSPAMDay 2203
Jaru @jaru.bsky.social · 16/07/2025People are posting about grilling hot dogs today. Here is a pic of a hot dog grilling a foot. For some reason no one wanted to partake in Jaru's Blackened Italian Foot-Long at the picnic. #NationalHotDogDay 051
Jaru @jaru.bsky.social · 12/07/2025I don't always dress up as a @bucees.bsky.social beaver, but when I do, I go out and see "Hundreds of Beavers" @hundredsofbeavers.bsky.social at the @gatewayfilmcenter.bsky.social #FursuitFriday (Well, it isn't quite a fursuit, and it is no longer quite Friday) 050
Jaru @jaru.bsky.social · 21/06/2025I popped up to Toledo to visit my Dad while my older sister from Dallas was in town. We went to the Toledo Museum of Art since it holds a lot of memories for us. I was not expecting to come across a fursuit amongst their collection! #FursuitFriday 031
Jaru @jaru.bsky.social · 06/06/2025Happy #NationalDonutDay ! My friend NPC is a donut fanatic and found out about a donut fundraiser run back in 2019 that was looking for volunteers, including people to wear donut costumes. We applied to help. I'd love to do more events like this! #FursuitFriday 010
Jaru @jaru.bsky.social · 01/06/2025Thanks to the skilled coaching of Maroon's mom, 4 out of the 5 of us on our lane improved on our second game. I am always happy to break 100! 021
Jaru @jaru.bsky.social · 11/04/2025We are just one week away from @anthrohio.org 2025! AnthrOhio is moving to a new location and a new date for this year. Jaru took a spa day to prepare, with a nice bath, massage, pedicure, and facial. #FursuitFriday 5205
Jaru @jaru.bsky.social · 28/03/2025*Jaru ponders if he can be a celestial dog too* Sadly it looks like we will have clouds Saturday evening when both Canis Major and Canius Minor should be viewable. But if Jaru can't see them he can still howl his greeting to them! #FursuitFriday 060
Jaru @jaru.bsky.social · 28/02/2025I spent a lot of time with Gedrean in the Reg/Safety/Gopher/Con-Ops/Silent Auction Room back at our old, old hotel (yup, all those departments used to share an area). He was always very friendly, kind, welcoming. He is one of the staffers at Morphicon and persuade me to staff 000
Jaru @jaru.bsky.social · 09/02/2025Happy #Superb_Owl_Sunday! Ohio Nature Education will be the AnthrOhio charity again this year, and has some fun merch available! Be sure to check out their site and support them, their superb owls, and all the other critters they care for! www.ohionature.org/store 0141
Jaru @jaru.bsky.social · 31/01/2025Video of Jaru skiing down the slopes, with his ears flapping in the wind at 10 and 20 seconds in :-) 031
