We are aware of a scam hotel email going around currently targeting 'exhibitors' for VF2027: Nightfall. Hotel scams and fraud targeting furry cons are becoming more common. We have NOT sent out any hotel information yet to ANYONE. Do not be fooled by these emails and protect yourself from scams.

Naturally, since she was a poet, the poetry section in the Rebel Loon Archives chapter about Renee Good is really moving.
This section of a long poem by V.M. Stone really hit me

Earlier walk was okay, gait felt a little closer to normal (stretching payoff I guess) but now left knee is ANGY and doesn’t want to bend correctly unless I twist it, as if the kneecap won’t slide into place.
Hell. Ibuprofen and heat time!

Surprise grocery run! But necessary. Is life worth living with no peanut butter, coffee creamer, or chicken-flavored bisque topper for the cats? I know they’ve all been very annoyed the last two days, and they should be.

Hair bleaching day. Finally turned the heat on last night, as 45 F was too cold to endure (not that COLD INSIDE).
Thinking about what pattern to use for a witchy dress, and all the ones I ponder have a LOT OF RUFFLES, and I don’t have that much fabric

I threw together an explainer on what is happening with Olmstead rights (and what those are, for people unfamiliar). My latest @19thnews.org
The federal government is backing away from a decades-old disability rights promise
Lois Curtis and Elaine Wilson won a victory that gave people with disabilities the freedom to choose where they live. That legacy is now under threat.

Gonna stretch that back and take a shower and stretch that back and take some Advil and see if I can get started on the Gunnar Deatherage dress I’ve been trying to get back to for two months, after I had to clean up the dining room for guests.
Where am I in the pattern? No idea.
