Holy shit. Sounds like things got bad at @goldenhorn.si

Really hope everyone is okay.
Screenshot of the Goldenhorn announcements Telegram channel: 22:56: "Dear attendees, security has again noticed people that have been around the resort and being a nuisance to attendees. We ask you again to avoid contact with them, to walk around the resort in groups instead of alone and to try avoiding staying outdoors for longer periods. Security is working hard with police to resolve the situation. If you notice anyone, please call the emergency number listed on the back of your badge to help us in solving the situation." 23:16: "We have wonderful news - security and the police have managed to resolve the situation! Enjoy the rest of your night." 00:04: "Dear attendees, we have been alerted by you that the situation has not been resolved and it's more serious than before. Please stop any party you're having and remain inside." Screenshot from Goldenhorn Announcements Telegram channel: 00:23: "IF YOU'RE AT THE ROOMS, LOCK YOURSELF IN YOUR ROOMS. DO NOT STAY OUTSIDE. PARTIES ARE NOT ALLOWED." 01:22: "We're very sorry about tonight, believe us that we did everything we could have, as soon as we could. The police will continue their investigation. If anyone wants to leave already now, the convention centre has been temporarily opened again, so you can gather your items, and will reopen at 9:00. Regarding Sunday's events, we will unfortunately be cancelling the events in the morning and will be moving the closing ceremony to 12:00. DO NOT LEAVE YOUR ROOMS TONIGHT AND KEEP YOUR BLINDS COVERED."

Regarding the fluid situation at the GoldenHorn furry convention, involving non-furs (assault, theft, and tear gas/fire extinguisher attacks on rooms), the Wikifur article will not be updated until the situation is stabilized by local law enforcement personnel and all attending furs are safe.

Furry creators, lend me your ears (tails, paws, maws, etc...)!

We are starting to build out some educational materials around the Furry Economy and would like your help.

If you make money in the furry economy we'd love you to take a little time and fill out the following survey:

Despite the typo, sharing this announcement that Carole Curtis, writer of Katmandu, has passed. @joeartguy.bsky.social & I worked on those books way back when they first started at Antarctic Press, it's always a bummer when colleagues pass away.

AC 2025’s attendance (if final so far) is set at 18,357 congoers, which puts it away from FWA’s attendance (17,736) by 621 (no connection to e621 [https://en.wikifur.com/wiki/E621]).

That makes Anthrocon the largest worldwide furry con so far until Midwest FurFest comes to bat later on the year.

We lost a member of our staff family today.

Peony was a gifted artist, and a sister to many of us.

Her warmth, laughter, and creativity shaped our con in countless ways.

She will be deeply missed, but never forgotten.

Para los que quieren viajar a EEUU a una convención siendo artista invitado, reconsidere de viajar allá o te meterán preso.

Hubo un caso de una artista de cómic de Gales que fue detenida por 11 días hasta que La soltaron por la ayuda de la familia y de abogados.

Furry creators who travel internationally to US conventions may want to hear this warning from Comic con. If you travel on a tourist visa and accept any form of compensation, like a hotel room for guest appearance or sketches for cash, you could be detained by ICE. comicon.com/2025/03/18/f...

Good afternoon,
Please read the following statement regarding the haitus of Furcation 2025. We plan to work hard to develop the con for upcoming iterations, to make sure the future of Furcation is a brighter one!
Dear Furcation Attendees, We want to take a moment to share an important update with you all. Furcation will be going on hiatus this year, meaning there will be no event in 2025. However, this is not goodbye - far from it! We know you’ll have questions, and we appreciate your patience as we work behind the scenes. More details will be shared as soon as we have them, so keep an eye out for updates. Thank you for your continued support, enthusiasm, and love for Furcation. We can’t wait to get things going again and hope to return in 2026! Stay tuned, The Furcation Team
