Readers (especially Australians), Radio National is running a poll for the top 100 Australian books! I can't wait to see where things land :) Permutation City by Greg Egan is one of the most prescient pieces of sci fi I have ever read.

If only one thing convinces me that the future is free and open source, its trying to use Adobe products on a Windows environment in 2026. Nothing I need it for works any more, so why would I pay for it.

I've decided that the little pingusphere characters in Big Walk are canonically nudists.

Old conbooks are so cool! Something about fantastic proto-furry illustration, mono ink and that cheap textured paper stock you only see on old computer manuals. Look at these amazing artworks by Ken Macklin of Bubsy fame. Ebay listings cached on google. I wish we had digital archives of these.

Front cover of Octocon II, subtitle reads "SCIENCE-FICTION CONVENTION 1987". Depicted in mono ink is a cartoony anthro character leaning against a wall marked with bullet holes and adorned with creeper vines. He wears a flight suit with flared legs and cartoonishly large accessories including belt and star shaped shoulder patch and holds a helmet at his hip. His hair sweeps across his face in the wind. He has a world weary expression.

Cover for OCTOCON IV, printed in mono black on cheap paper stock. Subtitle reads "A science fiction and fantasy convention for charity. October 9 and 10, 1982. El Rancho Tropicana Hotel, Santa Rosa, CA."
Depicted is a cartoony scene. A dragon with an amused and relaxed expression lies in repose filling the background. In the foreground are three cute little kobold critters in culturally ambiguous plate armour holding pikes, also looking towards the viewer.

#Aurawra had such a lovely theme this year. The Solarpunk ethos fits so well with this fandom and the staff, volunteers, presenters, guests and attendees embodied the hell out of it. The community feels more developed and rich every year and that makes me so happy.

Night photo in an alley under unnatural blue light, depicting me wearing my Fox McCloud fursuit and foxo's lovely Starfox jacket. Striking a pose that is altogether way too confident.

Birthday Wednesday. Road trip Thursday. Aurawra Friday. Big week! And I finally made a conbadge!

Conbadge design, featuring vurt's ringtail lemur fursona leaning with a conspiratorial expression over the bright hand lettering of his name.

I didn't end up having much to contribute to the fireworks this year, but it was a huge privilege to have some involvement and it was wonderful seeing how excited and diligent the group were in putting together something really special. Well done :3

Matrices has super kindly put together all sorts of guides on fursuit making! I refer to it frequently. Check out their booth!

The Lion King II: Simba's Pride Parade (2007)

(As if)

Various LGBTQ animals, one of which that might be a furry, we're not asking them, and Dorian Electra apparently, march in a Pride Parade that is definitely not on the Chinese version of this service and probably not the American one either at this point.

I don't think I'm gonna win any aerobatics competitions with this lopsided half cuban-8, haha. My partner @fairbank.bsky.social got me a flight in a L39 jet trainer for my birthday! Zoomcat! They coached me through flying some basic aerobatics, which was a lot of fun to do for realsies.

Me trying to wrangle the furry homies to agree on a date for a house party.

A wall painting of the labours of Hercules. He is wearing a lion skin, and appears to be having very strong words with a very alarmed house.

A wall painting of the labours of Hercules. He is strangling a lion to death, and the lion does not appear to want to be strangled to death.

I am so proud of so many of my friends right now, making laborious or stressful changes in their lives for better long-term contentment. I gotta try to keep up!

Furdu was really good this year, got quite a few photos to work through now and a bunch of film to develop. Spent a large portion of the weekend just spending time talking to new and old faces though. Nice to take a break from the world for a bit and hang out with a bunch of critters.
