Hello furries! No furwalk today due to the heat... but in good news, after a suggestion, we have a Steam group now! Still setting things up as people join; I hope it makes it easier to add all your local furry friends on Steam! ~lilia

The National Weather Service has upgraded Saturday to an Extreme Heat Warning that lasts until Monday. The Beerline Trail furwalk will be POSTPONED, likely until after Anthrocon since that's when I next have a free weekend available. ~lilia

Drawn in 1999. I drew this vixen for the Lake Area Furry Friends (LAFF) group calendar. LAFF was the group of Southeast Wisconsin/Northeastern Illinois furries/furry fans. I had been assigned the month January, so I picked New Year's Day as my theme!

There's @sewifurs.org today, though!

🌐 SEWI Furs chat directory update:

About a quarter of the groups that make up our community have grown so large they have their own websites too! These websites are now linked on the chat directory.

Also: no more white flash when loading the website in dark mode. Enjoy! ~lilia

#furry #wisconsin

A partial screenshot of the Greater Madison section of the chat directory on sewifurs.org. Two chats have links next to their names, that say "Website".

I then add my own edits on top of the screenshot. Two red arrows point from the links to text that says "These links are new!", with a sticker of Lilia Roo celebrating underneath. (Sticker by Recurrent)
