A new single-convention record at BLFC: 57 new boings out in the wild. I've been avoiding signing up for any more conventions though, since my order queue has been exploding recently. I'll do ANW and VF soon, but 2024 is going to be all about focusing on taming the wait-list.

So I've been gathering up data on furry-specific scams recently and I'm noticing a disturbing trend where almost all of the victims are aged 18-23. So I want to do a bit of a PSA to the new generation of furries about protecting yourselves as you get involved in the fandom. 1/?

I've been keen to see a Boing in a furry dance battle pretty much from day one, and at VancouFur it finally happened. This is a small clip of Rororo (limp) vs Jynx (boingy)

I may have a little bit of catching up to do on my orders... The goal for 2024 is to triple production and get 500+ tails shipped out. New employee, new molds, new workshop. I won't be signing up to any more conventions in that time for vending, as I really need to devote

@DannyDeMitzo Because you haven't done enough damage yet? Under no circumstances should you contact the hotel about this without the involvement and supervision of the convention's hotel liaison, and I think you know damned well that it would only cause further damage and grief.

Today, Furry lost one of its founding fathers, Mark Merlino. If I spent the next 100 years devoted to Furry, I couldn't add 1% of what Mark did. Mark is to Furry as Neil Armstrong is to spaceflight, and our community is less without him.

Often a scam includes a sob story. "Parents kicked me out because gay and am homeless" and "my cute pet has disease, needs vet" are common examples. Legit emergency needs happen, but liars will prey on generosity to siphon support away from those truly in dire straits. 9/ ?

If it's your first time dealing with an artist or maker, SEARCH FOR BEWARES. Use the hard-learned lessons of others to protect yourself. If an artist changes their handle every 6-12 months, RED FLAG. Look at the signatures on their work from 3-5 years ago. 7/?
