Yearly observance. #September11
A large vodka and orange juice. Uncharacteristic for me but 25 years ago on this date I asked the local bartender for the strongest screwdriver he could fix. I have observed the anniversary every year in thd same way.

This picture was drawn by a 3-year-old girl in Ukraine after a devastating rocket attack on her neighborhood. If you support the Russian invasion of Ukraine, I shall respect your political opinion. But you must in turn respect my desire to punch your fucking lights out. ##slavaukraini

Russian Lullaby. This is what it is like to be woken up in the middle of the night. (NOTE: This is a reconstruction of actual events pieced together from recordings made during the trip. I did not sit there and record this all while rockets were being fired at me. Give me a little credit, here!)

By the way, if you want to see the photos I took while I was in Ukraine, I arranged them in a Flickr album. If you want to sneer at the fact that I am still using Flickr, you can just fuck right off. I am tired and am going to bed. www.flickr.com/photos/uncle...

Ukraine 2026
I have been honored to be invited as a guest at dozens of conventions, but I never thought that I would be asked to attend a convention in Ukraine, a country that is actively at war with its neighbor....

A year ago I allowed myself to get bullied off of social media. I spent the last 5 days in Kyiv, in Ukraine, where I met the bravest, most defiant and resilient people. It made me feel deeply ashamed to have given in to the internet bullies. I am not going to let it happen again. #slavaukraini

I want to make one thing clear. An unwelcome person snuck into our fursuit parade. I was standing by the escalators and saw every single suit that went by, and I did not see him. I still don't know how he got by me, but if I had spotted him, I would have said, "Hold it. You...come here."

You do realize, I hope, that if someone shows up at an event with the specific intent of causing an uproar in order to get attention, screaming about it is only giving them the attention that they seek and will encourage them to try it again.

I have been told I have to promote this by the tiny voice that screams at me “You need to get booked at some point” so be advised this is where I plan to do anything blue this year, because technically if it happens off site did it really happen? Hope you’ll come by.

If you are going to Anthrocon, you’ll be able to pick up a FREE piece of my original artwork of a Doc Rat character. Go to Bill Holbrook’s Kevin and Kell table. It requires one purchase of a very cheap Doc Rat eBook, and then the bonus free art can be yours.

Last year, the North Carolina senate approved a bill that would criminalize wearing a surgical mask in public, but which allowed Klansmen to wear hoods. At the time I tried to call out what I saw as blatant institutionalized racism, but the callout was misconstrued. My apologies for being unclear.

Onsite, of course, we must be restrained and observe proper decorum. But this is not onsite. We can talk about whatever we want to. And we intend to. (Note: you must be 21 or over and there is a 2-drink minimum. For us, at least.) Thursday of #anthrocon2025

Having an interesting philosophical discussion. Started with questions about Furry, followed by a challenge to "define humanity." Humanity, I said, is offering aid to another not because there is a legal or social requirement, nor for any tangible reward, but solely because that other needs help.

This simple drawing is still one of the most shared images I’ve made. Reo Grayfox was telling me his story, and said those lines staring straight into his fursuit's eyes. Hearing personal stories like this makes you appreciate the vastly diverse reasons why the furry fandom is essential to so many.
Drawing of a fursuiter with the fursuit head off on his lap, staring at its eyes while saying, “You have no idea how much this guy changed my life…”

A few words written by German poet Erich Kästner on the 5th of May, 1945, eighty years ago.
"Everyone is making someone else responsible. Everyone is blaming everyone else. And everyone is excluding just one person from this blame: themselves. Why are people irritable? Because they are surprised? But how can they be surprised? Did they actually believe the deception? Did they really confuse the outrageous rhetoric with facts? No one can be that stupid. You can only pretend to be. Now they are pretending to be surprised –- in other words, they are playing dumb again. They would rather be thought of as a complete idiot, than as a scoundrel."
