Alliance Comes Wearing Fur

 Hello. C J here. I’m an introvert. I expected this last week of Pride setup and Pride attendance would burn me out. I planned a week off for it starting today. Nope. Not a bit. It turns out healthy community is rejuvenating even for someone who normally prefers a good book. Time for more non stop people time. The math and writing part of this job takes an hour or two a week these days and I’m not launching until next Pride anyway so I have time.

I’ve completed step one, leave your home office. Now for step two, have coffee with a friend. This sounds like a reasonable skill progression tree to be following. And to any furries out there reading this, remember that the rest of the world considers us to be the cool people. I don’t think they know we forget that. We typically have a lot of money, support animal charities and have all the best art in our back pocket on a phone. Furries and the entirety of Pride are really exactly the same, just one has fur.

So next steps. I’m going to start posting on the Ontario and Canada Facebook furry groups. My goal is to put together a backyard furry potluck barbecue by the Summer Solstice, here in Kingston and the Islands. My birthday is on the Summer Solstice. I know a lot of these Facebook groups meet regularly and I am hoping for a large number of attendants. The food will be great.

Also, there were cool tarot card readers and some Wicca themes at Pride. I’m going to look into whether there are any communities for Wicca or similar subjects already in Kingston and the Islands I can go join. I am certain, absolutely certain, that a furry and a tarot card reader would have a lot in common and both come away from a conversation learning a lot.

My ultimate goal here as a company is to take the vast knowledge that communities like these have and want shared widely, learn it, and then make it accessible to the whole internet. Furries want everyone having a fursona and tarot card readers would I’m sure like everyone to understand how tarot cards work so they have someone to read for them. As a Norse rune reader, I agree.
