Little update
9 years ago
Things I'm currently up to:
- Making a knitting pattern 100% from scratch. It's essentially a face mask and it is one of the worst things I have ever convinced myself to do, but I'm stubborn and I'm gonna stick to it.
- Also participating in a lace shawl knit along. It uses a paid pattern that I don't have to buy if I finish before the deadline (which is the end of January; I'm not worried about finishing on time).
- Also, the NM Furs state page has been handed down to
inusnowpaw and me. Hello, to those of you checking out my page because of that! Inu already owns and runs the Telegram chat for NM furries, and I've been an admin for a while now, in addition to helping run the NM Twitter and Tumblr. I'm seeing a number of new names and faces in New Mexico, and it's refreshing to see people stepping up with new ideas for meets.
The furry community in NM has been stagnating over the last decade or so, and there's no reason that should be happening. By my count, there are well over 100 furs here; it's a large group that seems to be consistently growing. I would like to get to the point of hosting large meets and/or parties in relatively public spaces - perhaps renting a hall or a park or *something*. I'd like to see a more inclusive approach to large meets, especially compared to how some people are currently handling it (or rather, failing to). Long term goal? Who knows, maybe figuring out a bigger furry presence at local conventions. The point is, there's more than enough people here that we can call ourselves a community, and the *entire* community deserves to have a fun and safe way to socialize. And I intend to do everything I can to make that happen.
