Hi @furryweekend.com, I was allocated a suite back in October, but have not yet had a hotel confirmation or request for payment. I've had a trouble ticket open since October querying this, but so far no resolution. Could you advise if there is a more effective approach I could take?

A bit silly to travel all the way to Oxford to drop off a tiny bag of cables? Maybe! But always worth the chance to get dinner with the great British crossy @xfoxlightning.bsky.social
Great ramen and amazingly decadent hot chocolate for dessert!

I've seen many comments from US furs saying that the actions of their government are not of their choice. Fair.
But you need to understand: the rest of the world is not coming to save you. Your government is coming for us, and it is coming for you.
The only power to stop this lies in your hands.

Following the overnight action, this thread is highly prescient and outlines in accessible terms the radical transformation of US posture that law and policymakers need to get to grips with.
It's New Year, so time to look back and forward. These are 10 things I think we need to recognise in 2026. It’s a response to what I think are profoundly damaging mistaken assumptions I’ve heard and read from practitioners, journalists, and analysts in 2025. Warning: very long🧵

I've had an incredible year with my fursuit. Lightning has traveled thousands of miles already, visiting cities, deserts, forests, and many conventions! I've loved becoming a fursuiter and can't express enough how well my maker @arvinslair.bsky.social executed this wonderfully expressive piece.

I really enjoy this! It's like a mix between RCT 2's 'Ice Style' music, with even more jazz, and some regional instrumentation!

Immigration policy as neurosis and paranoia of government. Executive decision-makers ill at ease with the character of the contemporary world, and the guiding principles of their nation; a politics so far off the reservation that popular support cannot be assured.

Haha, wow, imagine thinking you can just "Stop the Furries" with an email button. We're much bigger than one district and not dependent on money or corporations for our fandom. We have imagination.
I hope this badger continues making their opponent discover more about the world around them.

Yes the current UK government is quietly achieving some important progress in certain areas.
But meanwhile they are SHOUTING at the top of their lungs the most depraved and poisonous rhetoric regarding immigration and asylum in a manner that also demonstrates total political incompetence.

Sneaking up on Alexi in classic foxy style.

I had a great evening with @sammythedragon.bsky.social. We did the Hoop Dee Doo Musical Revue which was so much fun - they even had a song about the dessert! Then we wandered the campground and Wilderness Lodge afterwards.

If it was "a mistake for people to regard Brexit’s success on the basis of the number of trade deals that we could stack up", then why were they "anxious as a government to secure those deals in order to show that Brexit was working"?
