As anyone who was supposed to attend Carolina Furfare has probably heard by now, the con was cancelled for 2024, so I will not be doing anything for it after all. Reg is being rolled to 2025 or to Bewhiskered 2025, but tbh I have no idea if we'll go since we'd planned on not doing ANY cons or traveling next year to save for our Japan trip instead. We'll see how things turn out next year I suppose. Since we already had the PTO approved and it's too short notice to do much else, we decided to kinda just chill at home and have a little 'staycation' instead. C': Salvage what we could of the weekend. Gonna go see Transformers One on Friday and to RenFest on Sunday, so not a total waste of time off at least!
In regards to the storm aftermath, we finally heard from my family (who were in a somewhat remote/far west part of NC) on Sunday afternoon; everyone is safe! They said they didn't even lose power, surprisingly, and my cousin's home has Starlink so once they got that back up we got ahold of them. The river/lake near my neighborhood is still pretty high and the main bridge out of town is still closed out of precaution, but we're fine enough. Water levels are going down as the lakes' levels are monitored and dams controlled, but it's a very very slow process.
That said, Western NC and Appalachia in general have been and are still suffering badly. Please think of them and if you can, donate to the various aid/relief funds being set up and run through the region. If you're near a donation center and can (safely) offer water/other supplies, please consider doing so. Anything is better than nothing! At the very least, I ask that you keep everyone affected by the storm in your thoughts, as cliche as that may sound. I don't make a habit of asking for help, for myself or really much of anything, but a lot of these places are very special to not just me, but my family and thousands of other families and generations of people, and I can't in good faith not at least TRY to get more eyes on this.

I was angry at Tilt longtail and his friends. What I did just unwatch him on furaffinity because of my behavior and my actions did had consequences.
