A writer is a person who cares what words mean, what they say, how they say it. Writers know words are their way towards truth and freedom, and so they use them with care, with thought, with fear, with delight. By using words well they strengthen their souls.

Increasingly I feel like I favor furry because it espouses the idea that humans, for all our mastery over nature, are still animals. We need to nap and wander and frolic and utter strange noises. It is good for us to be weird little guys, which is something society is so committed to stripping away.

Every president has done this, though none so brazenly. Things are getting worse AND getting uncovered, not either/or. Our response cannot be to wait around for Congress or the Glorious Revolution to appear from nowhere; we must change how we live every day.
If we want change, WE have to change.

For the new year, I attacked my WIP box and found this friend I had forgotten! Tightened up, finished, and ready for matting for the FC art show/dealers table.

Forever boycotting Anthro Northwest.
I'll never forget when the chair of ANW jogged up to me at AC and, seeing that I was from Washington, asked if I'd consider going to ANW. Before I remembered who he was (we emailed back and forth a few years ago) I just wrinkled my nose and said, "Noooooooo" and then he jogged away.
