For new folks: Hiya! I'm Tofte, Boston-based professor of classical studies, alpaca, fursuiter, amateur artist, regular con panelist, cat dad, and co-director of a furry archive and history non-profit (@fangfeatherfin.furryhistory.org). Nice to see ya here! 🦙🧡🏳️‍🌈

I have gotten to be more myself than ever, have made more friends, gotten closer to people, loved more, and am living my best life (occasional hiccups aside) in large part because of social media 🦙✨
