Uncle Kage's suit jacket bearing the Ukrainian tryzub pin on the label.  He has also done a lousy job of folding his handkerchief and hopes nobody will notice.

So United Airlines imposed a rule that you can't play a video onboard with the sound on or they'll throw you off the plane. When you connect to their wifi, the first thing they do is play a bunch of videos with sound.

25 years prior I had watched the World Trade Center collapse and learned of the loss of more than 300 fellow emergency responders. I went to the bar and asked for the strongest vodka-orange they could fix. Every year since then I drink one, and remember.

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...

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....

And before the questions come in: 1) I was GoH at a furry convention (Furrest Con) 2) Shaheds are "meh." Rockets, though, are scary. 3) I spent more time in an air-raid shelter than I did in bed. 4) The Russian attacks are indeed indiscriminate. I mean, the farmers market? Seriously, guys, WTF?

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

And finally, I am a comedian. There are some awful people out there, and I figure that the best way to deal with them is to point out just how silly they are. Point at them and laugh. But it seems that I'm not good at it. I'm sorry. I'll stop.

And yes, I had my picture taken with him. Fifteen years ago. If you prefer, I will simply refuse any requests for pictures from now on. "No, I'm sorry, you can't have a photo because you may do something horrible ten years from now and I don't want to be associated with that."

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.

I do, too. I see these people parading around and spewing their hate and I would love to come up with a way to needle them, to make them see just how idiotic they look. But I missed the mark pretty badly. I didn't mean to offend decent people, and I apologize.

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.

I have known people who stormed the beaches of Normandy. I have known people who were members of the NSDAP in Germany. I have known people who were conscripted as Kamimaze pilots by the IJN. I find myself now the custodian of their stories. "Dulce et decorum est pro patria mori." ##Nokingsday

This gentleman driving by disagreed with the message we were communicating. He kept asking "What makes you think he wants to be a king?" He was at least civil about it, but I did not think that I was able to explain it in terms that he would understand.
