Business cards for Plott Hound arrived today! I'll be handing them out after my writing + publishing furry short fiction presentation at Denfur!
My little contribution to the newsletter in the OR lounge. The entire anesthesia department already knows my hatred of AI so they should know who "contributed."
Here's my take on the "when you have a million hobbies but only 24 hours in a day" trend
Highlights of Anthrocon 2026: -panel on learning basic ASL led by a deaf furry, Gabriel Wolf -furry orchestra (!!) -night dance parties (my dance buddy and hypeman pictured here)
Anthrocon 2026 was a blast, despite the cancelled parade due to extreme heat. 3rd year's the charm, hopefully?
Ohmigosh, you're at Anthrocon!? We have to say hi! I'm dressed up today.
The impending end of physical games makes me value my signed box art and collector's editions even more
Starfox is my first physical Switch 2 game. (Very first one is digital download of Pokopia) It's Starfox Friday! ✨🦊
Guess who finished work early and swung by for the switch 2 pickup order
Lord of the Rings cast signed my LOTR friendship accordion book at Fan Expo Denver. Elijah Wood liked the art so much that he took a pic of it with his phone! Dream come true to meet some of the biggest names behind my favorite books/movies of all time.
The wall decor in my hotel room at Oslo. I didn't know what to expect, but it definitely wasn't a flower-censored chameleon man splayed under a shower of cigarette butts and framed by Mesoamerican art.
More of the lounge. What is the fox man hunting with his dogs? 🤔
Hotel lounge in south Sweden. And a close up of definitely-not-Louis-from-Beastars. (His name's not Louis, it's...uh, Gustav)
Cool Moomin books in Finnish that aren't available in English or the US: Snufkin's Kalakirja (fish book) and Moominpappa's Lintukirja (bird book).
Moomin schmoomin, I came to Finland to grab Ginga manga in Finnish as the ultimate souvenir. Ginga Nagareboshi Gin (Hopeanuoli) and its sequels are the national anime of Finland with a following and popularity of Dragon Ball or Sailor Moon levels over there. It never caught on in the US.
You've heard of run, run Rudolph, now get ready for yum yum Rudolph (Reindeer meat dinner in Helsinki, my first time having reindeer meat)
A perk of being anesthesia student coordinator is when I get an OR assignment I don't feel like doing solo so I give myself a (good) student to do it for me
I'm not unsettled that my copy of Night Shift somehow warped into this shape, with the back skewing higher than the front. Nope, not at all.
A little notebook my sister had engraved for me. I use it to keep track of Plott Hound-related things like author and artist payments!
I caught this shiny Yveltal in a remote raid and I'm so mad there's not enough allowed characters in a nickname so I can call it "CroatianBacon" (So I went with the actual Slavic word for their version of bacon)
Got my stuff signed at Animeverse today. I didn't ask for quotes, but the voice actors threw them in on the house anyway. I dream of someday vending at artist allies, so their encouragement had me (metaphorically) lying in a puddle of tears.
Autograph haul from Animeverse Houston where they had most of the Avatar cast
First local zoo visit and animal drawing session of 2026. This year I resolve to go and practice more often, like once or twice a month.
My two cats looking at me like I lost my screws when I said "perro" to them over and over all day
Psst did you know that Vietnamese udon (bánh canh) exists? And you could get it for 1/3 of the price of Japanese udon and it tastes just as good?
