I'm a mid-30s bean counter (🐾) by trade living in the Toronto area. Married since 2022, furry since 2004. Like to go fast as a runner, triathlete, and motorsport watcher.

I have a confession.
Everything I’ve done in the fandom in the last ten years, including being a con chair… I never mentioned a word of it to anyone in my family.
That changed this past weekend when I told my mom. (Thread)

Hot take: If you see a Code of Conduct violation at a con, your first reaction shouldn't be "I'll take a video and post it to social media".
It should be "I'll take a video and let Security know."
As a conrunner, I always greatly appreciated the latter.

I stand corrected! With EF's revised total...
Furries have raised over US$80,000 for charity this week.
YOU ARE DOING AWESOME, FANDOM.
I just want to point out between all the cons happening this week, they have raised over US$60,000 for charity (assuming 25k euro from EF, probably more).
You are a damn amazing fandom and NEVER FORGET IT.

Apparently because this is Discourse now:
Being old in this fandom is not a bad thing.
Not learning, evolving, and responding to a community that too is evolving, when you're in a position that is community accountable, is a problem.

This is a remarkable statement from Arnold. Sharing the effects of fascism on his own family is a vulnerable story, but necessary.
It's tempting to skip the process of "tempering the sword". We can't. It means self-examination, accountability, consequences, improvement.

(12) Ten minutes later (there were many more words), I stopped.
“And you never told me all this?” my mom asked.
“I guess I’ve always been pretty modest…” (I had my reasons.)
“You should be proud,” she said, “and I’m glad you’ve told me.”
We embraced.

Some public health reminders as conventions (
@FurnalEquinox
included) get closer:
- Practice 6-2-1 before AND during a con.
- Also, handwashing. Lots of handwashing.
- Listen to your body and don't dismiss symptoms.
- Please do not go to a con if you are sick!
Thank you. 😊

Also going to be very direct - helping to bring this FE to the finish line over the past seven weeks was one of the most difficult things I've ever had to do.

A name we may not all know, but one could say Fred Patten was a Stan Lee within furry; he was instrumental in providing a voice for furry creators in the pre-digital age, and built a strong foundation for today's fandom. He passed today at age 77.

This was the most gut-wrenching decision. But at the end of the day, twelve other people in the same Telegram chat all agreed it was the correct decision.
I'm so proud of them, the hard work of all FE staff, and the community for their support and love.
FE will return.
ATTENTION:
It is with great sadness that we must cancel our 2020 convention until further notice on the advice of both health officials and business partners. Our attendees’ next steps are our priority and we want to make sure you’re informed. Read more:

(16) A big objective of my life is to build a world where people feel more included, and what I’ve done in furry has been a key part of that. FE has opened up innumerable friendships and social circles for this community, and that is not by accident.

(13) I know some people may have expected that for somebody who ran a convention for several years, I’d be a better ambassador for the fandom in my personal life. I feel I could have done better, and I’m truly sorry that I couldn’t speak up before now.

(18) Lastly, there is one big reason for all this – someone showed up at an FE Christmas party many years ago with a promotional video in hand. We kept talking in the months that followed, and it eventually blossomed into a relationship that’s been going for over five years.

Equally hot take:
Any decision made by a con should be anchored in two questions:
- Does this serve our community?
- Will it be received well?
They are not an afterthought. And they should not be something you figure out answers to after hitting Send on a communication.
