It's been one year since Furtannia was published.
The UK furry fandom means a lot to me, and I'm grateful to everyone who picked up a copy and showed their support, including those who were inspired to study the fandom further.
Thank you all.

I've now fully caught up on Spy X Family, all three seasons. Overall, the show is really fun, with plenty of sweet moments.
The later episodes tend to focus on the war rather than the Twilight, Yor, and Anya trying to be the best fake family. #SpyXFamily

I know it's been eight years, but yeah I don't see myself flying to America anytime soon.
Heck, despite enjoying Anthro New England, I don't feel comfortable going to a US furry con seeing how tourists are being treated at the moment.

Craziest thing that happened today: Spent weeks, if not months, getting a contractor to do some work on my house. Last Friday, got an agreement in writing for one to arrive on Tuesday (aka tomorrow).
Earlier this afternoon, they messaged me saying they're on their way to do the work.

Can't believe it's been 10 days and only now I realise I spelt fursuit wrong. -_-
Happy first #FurauitFriday of the year! Started off with snow and crazy stuff, but if you're reading this, you've made it.
Was at @yorkfurs.bsky.social last weekend, no fursuiting but got some pics on FurTrack.
Sadly I can't find their names here, apart from @draks.bsky.social being classy as ever

This photo was taken in 1911 using glass plate technology by Herbert Ponting who was part of Scott's Antarctic expedition,
The composition and detail are exquisite with the band of white snow/ice creating a perfect frame around the two people and the ship in the distance
Iconic imo

Idk who needs to hear this, but it's ok to set fandom boundaries.
You aren't less of a fan because you can't go to a concert or can only buy one copy of an album/only stream it.
You are a fan if you consider yourself a fan.

It's not gonna go into massive detail, or anything like that, more like my personal history with it. If you want a proper in-depth history of the UK furry fandom, @gamepopper.bsky.social wrote a whole book about it.

So I've watched through the first season of Spy X Family (great show, funny and wholesome). Things that bother me:
1. How is Twilight a master spy yet cannot figure out that the woman pretending to be his wife is an assassin?
2. How come we hardly see Yor actually do her work?
