stuff and FURREST CITY MINI CON

obliviousally: (ally antitribu)
saturday was FURREST CITY MINI CON!!!!!





it was extremely successful - 192 attendees in total!! we had a small space at sears think[box] on the case western reserve university campus (a staff member used to work there and had organized a small meet there previously and discussed that it might be a good option for a larger than a meetup, con-like event). and that's something we worked on over the last year or so (definitely moreso others on staff than myself, especially our finances person)!

i spent all day running around, mingling, doing whatever was needed in the moment - hanging out up by the parking garage to be a wayfinding point to make sure people could navigate their way to the venue (love what a maze college campuses can be), going along to help with the west side market excursion (and also acquire lots of goodies!!), meeting lots of folks for the first time, watching in on panels, poking around the little dealer's room, watching people play video games, etc., etc.

i'm honestly so happy this came together so well and went off without a hitch - folks who know me know i've historically been kind of a debbie downer (and sort of an aggressive realist when asking pointed questions to the people who'd claim it would be 'so easy' to get a con going here) when it would come to establishing a furry convention in cleveland. lots of factors are already kind of 'against' it - we're sandwiched between anthrocon and midwest furfest, two of the biggest 3-4 conventions in the states. it costs money, it needs people willing to do the thankless work of running a convention (and events in general!), and it needs people willing to simply show up. and i think it really just needed the right combination of people to get the gears moving - we have an amazing board and staff that are really committed to cultivating a real, living community and that's so deeply, deeply awesome and i'm so very happy to be proven wrong about my prior feelings on the matter X3




after we closed up and cleaned out the space, the remaining staff walked up to little italy and had coffee/food at a little tea shop called algebra and i finally got off my feet lol






also, rode the rail for the first time in cleveland! i never, like, bothered with it previously, but we were able to take it directly from the corner by think[box] out to the intersection at west side market, which was really cool!

i also reeeeeeally wanted to be able to take photos of the graffiti along the rail lines, so much of it was SO good






ANDDD!!!! webri found me and was like 'hey did u ever check artfight??' (they had messaged me back during artfight if they could draw something for me and then i forgot about it b/c i never got back around to doing artfight) and i was like 'NO I DIDN'T LEMME DO THAT NOW' and was greeted with this masterpiece

stuff and current random happenings

obliviousally: (i can see it in their eyes)
i've been meaning to make a post for, like, the last two weeks lol

random things happening

the shitty feral neighbors moved!!!!!!!!!!!!! the handyman told me that they paid their rent up thru june and would be moving by july but it turns out they broke the lease and bailed last week b/c tony reported people whose voices he didn't recognize in the house over there complaining loudly about how awful it was.

turns out, it was their UPSTAIRS neighbors (i was under the assumption that, kind of, everyone i saw over there was part of the whole house and the shitty neighbors had somehow rented the whole place) who are cleaning the lower place out and moving in there? idk if the landlord is renting them the whole place or what exactly is going on, but they're chiller and SO much quieter than the ferals, so that's already a huge improvement

not making it to anthrocon this year, which is a real bummer. my mom can't watch the house (for a couple reasons) and the cats and i can't pay anyone fairly to have to feed beans so frequently lol. if it were just finn and oryx, i could ask someone to stop by and make sure their dishes are full and scoop the box, but beans needs extra care AND he's prone to pooping in the kitchen/outside the litter box and i can't afford to pay someone to deal with that

tony and i got out for a walk the other day, stopped at the little metaphysical shop down the road from us that i've NEVER gone in since moving here lol - very nice little place, chill owners, and they have a cute black catten named chance!! we also stopped at circle k and got taquitos and walked over to the cemetery to eat them where a HAWK landed on a tombstone near us before flying off real low




beginning of the month was, apparently, the 100 year anniversary of the first goodyear blimp flight, so they had all three blimps out taking loops around the city. i got some good photos of them above my workplace and it was pretty cool to see them out together in formation

in the first pic, there's a tiny speck off to the left of the blimp on the left-hand side - that's the helicopter that was doing the route with them to get photo/video and stuff. so tiny in comparison!




i biked up out to merriman falls at the end of last month and the ride OUT there was so nice, it didn't even feel like i was exerting myself, but the ride back felt ROUGH lol it also doesn't help the very end of it before i get to the house, i have to basically walk the bike up the hills in the neighborhood back there so i get home and i'm just D-E-D dead

but on the way out i stopped at each of the trailheads (which is, like, 3 + big bend b/c there's a nice little wooden deck to chill out on and it's about the halfway point)

while in merriman valley, stopped at the happy tails thrift and got a cute scarf, two card decks, some nice embroidery thread, and some wool balls for oryx (she keeps stealing the dryer balls)




after dealing with some shipping bullshit, tony's birthday presents for me finally showed up lol - he'd originally ordered a richard siken zine from someone on etsy and it never showed up, he contacted the seller and they re-sent one and IT never showed up, so eventually he had to request a refund and the seller got real shitty/guilt-trippy about it. like, sorry!!! i would've loved to have had the zine, but idk why nothing you've sent has gotten here, soooooo....

the keychain, postcard, and spooky stickers are from Enthralledyet and the opossum stickers are by niipon! he said he ALMOST bought me one of these shirt, both of which i lost my mind at



i have also acquired a bunch more chickensmoothie uma stuff lol













finally, here's some unfinished sketches from this year so far

stuff and happenings and things

thyroidectomy scheduled for 9/11 (lol) - whole thing is getting yeeted. looking forward to this mostly being over (aside from medication and whatever post-op iodine stuff i'm gonna have to do) b/c it is a big inconvenience. they initially penciled me in mid-august but i was like holy shit that's not gonna fly. work schedule was already made, tony's neutering is next week, akron pride is the end of august, we JUST got back from anthrocon not that long ago, i need some down time jesus christ

but i went in on tuesday to talk to the surgeon and stuff and they gave me another ultrasound and poked and prodded at my neck, which means it's irritated now. also went to the fair with my mom after the appointment and i think got overheated b/c i didn't eat properly beforehand/early on and didn't really drink anything lol so i ended up calling off yesterday because of that. monday night, as well, i had a teeny bout of that weird shaking like i did awhile back, but it was very short lived, thankfully (could it be thyroid related? who fuckin' knows! i feel like 80% of the shit i have going on could possibly be thyroid related so i'm interested to see what changes after the surgery)

i get two whole paid sick time weeks off for surgery/recovery (i'll be overnight for surgery), which is pretty nice b/c i have something like 300~ hours of sick time accrued

other than that, not a lot has been going on. went to a little furmeet in highland square...last week and met some local folks. took a super long walk on the towpath on....saturday. rode the scooter up to memorial pkwy and parked it there and then walked all the way up to merriman valley. stopped at the little thrift store up there and stopped at a fancy gelato place and got some really good cinnamon gelato before grabbing the bus back home. pretty good way to spend a really nice day

went to the fair, like i mentioned. the art in the park thing up at hardesty park is this weekend, but i work saturday so idk if we'll pop out to it (can never remember if it's fri/sat/sun or just sat/sun). i've mostly been putzing around working on art and playing chickensmoothie and stardew valley.

stuff and THE BIG ANTHROCON RECAP

obliviousally: (trash can raccoon)
holy shit was anthrocon a good, chaotic time. this was our first year helping out on staff and it was a pretty good time!! also the longest we've stayed (wed-mon)!

before wednesday, i worked two days with andrew for some final extra cash. i took off from, like, the 29th (our wedding anniversary) to, uhhhh, today (the 9th), so i didn't really have any downtime between work and the con lol

holy shit this post is at least 3k words i'll put most of it behind a cut )


i ended up coming home with a lot more stuff than i expected!



this is just stuff that i bought, traded, or was gifted to me by friends! there's a whole bunch of freebie stickers and things we acquired throughout the weekend, as well, but i don't have a table big enough for EVERYTHING. animal art crimes had a box to drop stuff in and take a free sticker, so i put a handful of zines in. also got to see divi again! and finally met katusedcharm!



zines i traded for!

stuff and malaise

obliviousally: (passum)
i feel like i've just dissociated through the last two months, what the fuck

we've had two false springs so far, which were pretty nice all things considered. half of this time of year that's a struggle for me is i KNOW nice weather is around the corner and i KNOW winter is not fully over. but every time the temps rise and the sun comes out and then winter comes back and kicks me on my ass, i'm just uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuugh about it

tired of layers tired of the house being closed up tired of not being able to just go and fuck around w/o worrying about the cold/weather/whatever

still trying to pay down this debt thing. i think i have $1700 left? so fucking much, it feels like, but so fucking close to being done with it. but motivation for commissions has been at an all-time low and i also haven't been picking up any cheaper/quicker (booties, for example), either. and i have a couple big pieces i need to finish up but, god, i do not have the energy/motivation/creative spark for any of them

the furry zine i'm organizing has been going well, however (i still need to figure out what i want to add to it myself, but tony submitted a short story). it's about at the point where the pages are gonna be maxed out, which is pretty cool! excited to be able to print them and share them with people



destiny has been kind of a slog/boring. i wasn't real into this last season (wish) outside of the story stuff, but at least guardian games gave me something to do for a hot minute. i guess i could go back and see what i need to maybe get the titles for the last couple seasons this expansion, but also hhhhhhhhhh at the same time

work hasn't been anything spectacular. we got a new part time guy, we finished our consulting thing, we're thinking ahead about summer reading and plans for that. i've been bitching about our 150th anniversary passport booklets and how marketing dropped the ball on actually creating cute stamps for the passports and, instead, sent all the branches stamps with our branch name in all caps sans serif font


deeply infuriating


i got mad and mocked up some sticker options, even tho nothing will come of it. helps get my rage about it out lol



D&D has been going well - we've been meeting pretty regularly (every other week, at least). we almost had a TPK session before last, but WE SURVIVED 。・:*˚:✧。

*** with the help of boozy potions our dm made for the party - luck (rumplemintz+blackberry) and health (rumplemintz+watermelon). we had to con him into letting us use the health potions to stabilize our party members (by physically pouring it into their mouth at the table lol) b/c FOUR of us went down and had to make death saving throws and they were NOT GOOD death saving throws, either

but WE SURVIVED 。・:*˚:✧。



i chucked a bunch of seeds in pots earlier in the month and i've got sprouts already, so trying to look forward to that! trying to commit to getting a jump on the garden so i'm not putting it in the ground in fuckin june or july or some stupid shit

started a multiplayer save on stardew valley with tony, since 1.6 launched and there's a bunch of new stuff. we ended up wearing the exact same outfit with no prior planning



sam and i were gonna go to see the crane wives at beachland ballroom next month, but when the tickets went up in december we didn't rush to grab them b/c we thought, well, who ELSE locally even knows them? we should be able to easily grab some in the next month or two

and then it turns out they sold out WITHIN THREE DAYS (good for them tbh)

but a little bummed about it! i keep trying to find secondhand tickets and no one is releasing their grip on theirs, unfortunately



i leave you, dear reader, with this

stuff and zipcon furmeet!! plus other stuff

obliviousally: (i can see it in their eyes)
i meant to write this post,,,,, uuhhhhhh last week?????

but this last week was a s l o g, so i'm writing it today!

zipcon was on the 10th! and i took over the furry panel for another local furry (thegothbear) i know (they had a mascot thing in pittsburgh that came up), so i was Required to be in attendance lol

got there early, ran into other furry folks i know (including jeff, who i recruited to help out) and ran around to get my panel attendee badge from staff before i got stuff set up/organized. i made new furmeet brochures and thegothbear made some cute panel badges for folks attending. when i helped with the meet in, uhhhh, 2020?? there were about ~25-30 people in attendance and a handful of suiters?? 'after' covid (loosely speaking - when the con started up again, at least) in 2023, there wasn't a panel/planned meet, but a bunch of folks gathered in the eating area and got a pic. so we figured - probably at least double. i made 40~ brochures and panel badges.............

NINETY-TWO PEOPLE
(give or take a couple)


when we had left the room to take a photo (b/c there was NOT enough room in the panel room they put us in lkghdflkghd) our door counter had clicked off 85 people. which means we gained almost 10!!! between taking the photo and returning to the room lol


click thru for bigger!




a blurry before/during and after - i was fuckin' beat lol. the meet was only an hour, but afterwards i just vegged out on the couches on the 3rd floor and ate lol. kovrick eventually found me and hung out/chatted for awhile before we parted ways and i went to browse the dealer's room and also ran into tutone and jeff again



i left early before the con to go to sweet mary's b/c i wanted a little treat for after the panel. i ended up standing in line for 20!! MINUTES b/c folks were picking up pączki x_x and the lady in front of me bought the last three red velvet macarons :( so i tried the grapefruit+honey and got a meyer lemon one instead

also had a little spending money b/c the irs actually gave me my federal tax return this year! so i bought some snackies (some of which i still haven't tried) and some stickers for my work planner and some pins lol (i'm scoping out tortie pins now, since snickers' passing). also traded some of my zines for a vampire zine!! the artist is vampyrbites

kitkats i got are:
- strawberry shortcake
- strawberry chocolate cake
- milk tea
- wholewheat flour biscuit (graham cracker-ish, apparently)



sunday, i returned to pathfinder (missed the previous week's session b/c i was replacing the alternator) to this scene



we survived, no one died, but one of the kobolds got cursed??? we're dealing with the aftermath of that now. it's A Lot!!



other than that, not a ton of anything monumental going on. i lost one of my nice gloves while running errands on friday. had d&d on saturday and had some tasty food and made everyone valentine's treat bags. sort of zoned out for a lot of sunday between pathfinder and stuff. it was too cold to go out and do anything (we got a layer of snow friday night), so i just putzed around the house instead

it's supposed to be nice!!! this week - in the 50's. we had our first false spring a week or two ago, but i'm grabbing on to any bit of warmth and thoughts of spring i can get

thinking about starting seeds indoors way earlier this year. i need to sort out the porch, as well. a lot of stuff has accumulated and i want to get things organized/start seeing what stuff is necessary/brings joy/want to keep and stuff we don't really need b/c it feels like the house is starting to get claustrophobic after five years here. if nothing else, organize stuff in totes if it's not getting used, i suppose

but! looking forward to spring! it, at least, gives me more things to distract myself from [gestures broadly]

stuff and ohiofur things and also fursonapins things

obliviousally: (Default)
i don't know where the fuck september went x_x how is it october already??? i think it just doesn't feel that way b/c it's been WARM all week (80's), but we're due to drop down to more 'seasonable' temps after the next day or two, much to my dismay

i feel like i've been doing A Lot this last month.

started a substack for ohiofurs stuff recently, as an option for folks who don't want to use discord/telegram/whatever. basically functions as a newsletter and it's easy to send out monthly and weekly updates and schedule out posts, as well. i've been enjoying using it.

also made an instagram for ohiofurs stuff b/c the two that already exist were pretty abandoned and the person who was last linked as managing the main one fell off of communicating with me. so i just went and made a new one lol. also utilized canva to make a nice, consistent post template. will probably make a new one in the new year, so help differentiate

fursonapins has a bunch of stuff dropping this month, so i did a bunch of updating on the checklists and spreadsheets for all the upcoming adopts



egyptian pins are for a kickstarter next year. ribbon foxes have been ongoing weekly-ish drops. adopts will be available in october, plus two others not listed here!



i've been using bluesky about as much as twitter rn and mostly i've just been crossposting back and forth between them. twitter is a slowly sinking ship, tho, so i've been thinking about locking and still maybe? still crossposting, but primarily using my bsky account instead. idk. idk!

i've been hanging out in the zine crisis discord lately and it's been really nice! i like the vibe there and i love seeing what people are creating



we had a water pipe burst in the basement yesterday - completely out of nowhere! heard something weird when i was going to put my phone on the charger before falling asleep and had to drag my ass into the basement to see one of the pipes behind the laundry just spewing water out. had to turn off the main water valve for the entire house (there's an apartment upstairs from us, as well) until the landlord could get his handyman out to fix it

garden is still going strong, as least until the weather swings. think i'm gonna try to just break everything down and cover it, see if that helps get some more nutrients into the plot there without me having to spend money to do it next spring. gonna have the tomatoes come back in full force, but that's not so much a problem lol

but i've been picking cherry tomatoes out frequently, as well as the peppers. out strawberries seem to be done producing, same with our cukes. hoping the brussels finish coming in alright. it feels like they've been slow growing but i know you're not intended to harvest them until after the first frost

we went brunch bowling with friends yesterday! food was pretty good and it's always nice to spend time with folks. and four weeks in a row! feels like trying to keep grasping on to the last bit of summer lol. got a good pic of tony and i, as well! bowling alley had good lighting



we got home just in time for pathfinder, too and i spent most of the session cleaning the living room in tandem lol - but got a lot of stuff tidied up and some laundry done. it was still a struggle to drag my ass out of bed this morning, tho, but i'm trying not call off/take any sick days if i don't need to haha

i also did some personal art (prev post)!!! and got a couple commissions done



i'm gradually working my way through my queue x_x

tony also scored two nice desk chairs from down the road at one of the industrial/office buildings - they're definitely a bit nicer than the one i had, so hopefully i can find something that works well for drawing at my desk again without my neck hurting (i think it's got something to do with how my monitor is positioned tbh)

stuff and pride and furry bowling

obliviousally: (ally head)
last weekend was pride! i kept meaning to post about it but kept forgetting lol. new season of destiny also dropped, so that was a distraction!

we went down to watch the parade with friends chris and sam - both of which this was their first pride. parade was fine, a lot of corpo garbage which is always somewhat grating even tho i know it's a complex thing. good to see employees and stuff showing up, but you know in your heart that business probably isn't as inclusive as it could be

ran into a handful of furries and gave them zines and ohiofurs biz cards. browsed a lot of vendor booths, ate some good food. spent a solid five or so hours wandering around until it started to get pretty hot with the sun directly over us between a bunch of concrete buildings. i miss when it was at hardesty park, but they outgrew that venue quick






around 3 or 4, we went home and laid around for awhile. hund asked me if we were going to the furbowl in oakwood that evening and tony wasn't up for it, but he offered to grab me so i figured why the hell not. i hadn't been bowling in awhile

and the meet was nice! a newer local furry was running it and kind of put it together last minute. the alley seemed to like us, they came over and gave us glowstick bracelets and took photos, which is always nice to see. we had some younger/elementary-aged kids in the neighboring lanes come over and pester the fursuiters, but that was about the worst that happened

i got some bad, blurry, dark photos lol







THIS WEEKEND we're going to cleveland to swim. a local trans group is rented out part of a beach for trans/gnc folks to come swim. we had a little cold snap this last week (high yesterday was in the 60s!!) so idk how warm lake erie is gonna be, but it's supposed to be almost 90F that day, so even if we just wade around a bit it'll be nice.

also planning on trying to hit up the cool curiosities shop in lakewood, too, as well as the queer thrift store nearby. i also have a bunch of stuff i've been holding on to to donate there, so this kills two birds with one stone haha

sunday is pathfinder (i think??? i also think i remember this week could be up in the air) and monday i'm off work for labor day and probably gonna go to the geauga county fair with my mom AND see about hitting up the area around camp whitewood (which i went to for an end of the year school trip in, like, 6th? grade??) - there's a little church near there that i've always wanted to go back and get pictures of. this is also the same camp i stepped on the sunfish in the lake at and it fucked half my trip up lol but not enough that it didn't leave good memories for me - i loved that we did a lot of rougher hiking and traversing the river around camp to go places. i caught A LOT of salamanders there lol

it's been very fun to do stuff with friends lately, even if i feel i need a couple more hours in the day to just lay in a dim room and decompress

stuff and neocities and punk rock flea market

obliviousally: (ally pox)
iiiiiii've been spending the last two weeks hyperfocused on the wrong thing! fucking around with my neocities site

i made a page for my zines, b/c i like to have them all in one place and viewable


click thru


also made a webring for, shockingly, the first time ever! they were more complicated to do back in ye olden times and i never tried to figure them out. STILL a bit of ???? with some of the coding, but a fun challenge at least. think i might also make a furry zine webring, as well :O


click thru


i've also been wanting to revamp my main page, so i've been pecking away at that. went from this...



to this!



love a good scrapbook-y style layout and this was fun to just throw together without a plan for where everything goes. still gotta throw some content on the collections and zines pages - i want to list the zines i own on the latter, at least. and collections is just gonna be a random assortment of things i like/obsess over/collect




also snagged a bluesky invite from a friend!



you can find me at obliviousally.bsky.social, if you're over there!

also managed to grab an @ for some ohio furry stuff, even tho king shithead grabbed TWO ohiofurs usernames. but folks apparently reported him for impersonation (lolol) so they're not getting as much attention. he was also mass following people not even in the state???? or even in the country. a complete idiot



today was the akron punk rock flea market downtown and...IT GOT RAINED OUT!!! ;___;

i did manage to swing down after work and there were, like............five vendors left. everyone else bailed due to the weather (which was, admittedly, pretty fuckin sucky and the event is outside downtown). i snagged some stuff from an artist i DID want to get something from, tho...



stuff from tittybats! also traded zines with him :D

after, i hung out and listened to the final band of the day and also hung out with local furry, kovric for a couple hours, just bullshitting about stuff. overall, a pretty decent day. i also didn't get more than sprinkled on, so i consider myself lucky

there were also a lot of Good Clouds today



pathfinder tomorrow and i think i may trek downtown to sweet mary's for a little treat, since i didn't spent hardly any money at the flea market today

oh! also! we finally finished the john wick series! we binged the first three a couple weeks back and i'd been waiting for my copy to come in at work. really enjoyed the series and worldbuilding and it felt like a fitting wrap up to john's story.

i have found no mercy, in these old bourbon hills

obliviousally: (ally pox)
still trying to make an attempt to try and post here more (failing). the instantaneous-ness of twitter/insta/whatever is a real draw lol. i gotta sit down and upload images, write a post, kind of get my thoughts in order instead of just spitting off whatever's on my mind

i think i need both, tho, tbh lol



work is STILL recovering from the ransomware attack. they're basically having to rebuild backend stuff from scratch. as of this past saturday, we still don't have printing from staff computers, but almost all the public pc's are back up. but still no color printing, no scan to email from the copiers, etc. a lot of interoffice extensions are still down, as is our intranet. it's been a ride, for sure






last weekend, we went to the botanical gardens in cleveland for friend sam's birthday - tony and i had never been (surprisingly!), so it was nice little trip. i was very enamored by all the grown over archways and hidden paths and treehouses and YOU COULD CATCH THE FROGS IN THE POND IN THE CHILDREN'S GARDEN FLGKDJGLDJ which is exactly what friend chris and i did when we discovered this information

afterwards, we hit up the only culver's in the area on the way home





i got my contributor copy of 'until it breaks', a zine organized by [personal profile] knifeorchid! i submitted a greyscale variant of my 'marrow made a wife of eve' illustration. you can grab a copy of the zine over here (heed the content warnings)!





quiz that was going around twitter for a hot minute. you can find it here. tracks pretty well for me, tbh. i'm overall comfortable with my gender/body/whatever. i just wanna be, like, a liminal creature basically, but i also don't feel like i need to, like, LABEL that??? idk, i'm just kinda like ¯\_(ツ)_/¯






i had to buy finn a soft cone b/c he's been scratching himself all up behind his one ear and when he has it on, it's just the best thing to watch. he has absolutely zero issues wearing it, i think sometimes he kinda likes it, but it also means just lots of pictures like the above where he's just zoned the fuck out with his one brain cell looking like a jaunty little court jester



i whipped up a neat little brochure for folks to put around anthrocon next weekend (bummed about not being able to go) and hand out at the ohio furs meet on friday



(click thru for full view)


i think they'll be a fun little souvenir lol - inside has info about upcoming meets over the next two months and the outside has info about the local groups and stuff



books and music time!

[L&L Backup] Free Furry of The Land: When SovCits and Furries Collide

Backing these up from Boozy's site because he was talking about closing it down recently and there's a couple good articles I sometimes link from there.

This is the original article Boozy did about furries and the RMFC sovereign citizen shit. It's no longer on the L&L site, but I pulled it from the Wayback Machine. Some of the images are missing, unfortunately.
