It looks like I'll be back at MFF this year for the first time since 2018. Not sure when I’ll be back again after this year, but thanks to my best friend I have a room and figured I’d give it a shot.

The reality is that the con is massively larger since I last went, and it was difficult to hang with anyone then. So my expectations are not particularly high when it comes to seeing anyone I really want to see.

But I will make my best effort, and if you want to see me, please let me know.

I saw The Wild Robot last night, and rarely has a film ever felt so close to my heart.

So much beauty and sweetness, but well balanced with some dark wit and mortality themes. It all blends so poignantly, and so many times during the movie I just felt so profoundly in love with it.

Also haven’t cried this much in a long time, but if that sounds like a warning or a negative, it isn’t. This movie couldn’t have come at a better time, and I hope it makes a billion because it should.

Sometimes learning to love yourself can be frustratingly difficult.

But sometimes it’s blissfully easy.

Because I feel bad about putting so much negative energy out, and never posting stuff that people wanted from me, here’s an awesome pic of Croc done by OMG Fursuits from about 2 years ago.

I promise I’m mostly still myself, in spite of everything. I just haven’t done a great job of showing it.

Getter older and all that. Anyway, peace and love to you all.

I don’t know how many people will see this, but you all seemed to be a fan of Foster Dad, so I was thinking…

What if he had an occasional video series where he talked to viewers and answered audience questions, offered life advice/wisdom and general dad-wolf thoughts?

Would anyone be excited for that?

Today, June 17, is both National Mascot Day and World Crocodile Day, which is also why it’s Croc’s birthday.

He’s meant everything to me over the past 30 years, he’s helped me come to terms with liking myself, he’s been a beacon of kindness and a way to bring joy to strangers AND friends.

I don’t know why or how it happened, but Croc and I are permanently embedded in each other and I’m so grateful for him.

Thank you so much to everyone who has ever liked, loved or supported him, and me.

Happy Father’s Day from Dad.

There’s a you shaped space next to him. *hint*
