Another Rainfurrest has come and gone, and I really loved the convention this year. The panels were fun and interesting, but more importantly I got to hang and chat with a bunch of people I had only known online -- JM Horse, Phil Geusz, Makyo and others in the [adjective][species] crew. There were a lot … Continue reading Rainfurrest 2015 Wrap-Up

The Seven Panels of Rainfurrest 2015
Rainfurrest is one of my favorite conventions. It's held every fall in Seattle, which means I have a great excuse to visit the Pacific Northwest during one of the prettiest times of the year. There is a TON of great coffee to be had, which is handy when you're putting in those late nights at … Continue reading The Seven Panels of Rainfurrest 2015
A Look Into the Future
I've been a little more quiet on the writing front than I feel comfortable with, but there's a reason for that. When I get deep into various projects, I tend to talk about them less because I guess I don't want to reveal how the sausage is made before it's presented. When I push a … Continue reading A Look Into the Future

A Furry Mental Health Podcast?

Sometimes, it manifests as anger or frustration that things are happening in your head that you … Continue reading The Good We Can Do
Non-Responding to Drama
In response to the controversy that's been continuing to flare, 2 released a video response last weekend. You can see the video here if you wish. If you don't, here's a summary from what I get from it. 2 doesn't believe that anyone has approached him with legitimate criticism; most people are haters who are simply … Continue reading Non-Responding to Drama
My 2 Sense
When I woke up from my suicide attempt, I had only one thought -- "I can't do this again." I wish I could say there was some identifiable process that led me away from suicide, but for me a switch was simply turned off. I feel incredibly fortunate in that regard; I know that for … Continue reading My 2 Sense
