I don't like bots and won't stand for being followed by one. If your profile picture is of a lovely woman and you immediately follow me after I mention a specific keyword, I am going to block you. I deeply apologize if you are a lovely woman who happens to like what I like. Stop looking like a bot.

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.

Then vs Now

This #Anthrocon marks 10 years of me organizing/hosting Anthrocon's Fursuit Dance Competition. I've been doing Floor Wars for even longer (since 2012).

I'm humbled to have helped grow this community and event to where it is ❤️

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.)

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.
