On my birthday, May 25, I'm going to make some changes in my online life. I will phase out Junkshop Coyote as my main fursona and replace him with Brimstone Badger. I'm not yet sure how this will affect my online accounts, but it's something I want to do.

Junkshop is, on the one hand, painfully Mary Sue in his original form: healer, quasi-immortal, 800 years old, blah blah blah. I'd thought about doing away with that part of his story anyway. On the other, he's also painfully intertwined, especially on Twitter, with my neuroses and how crippling they've become for me.

Badger has strolled into my life as the spirit animal I need to learn from and embody if I want to recover. He complements and balances Coyote. They hunt together in the wild with far greater success than either alone. The more I study him, the surer I am of this.

I don't anticipate making any major changes with who I watch or don't.
