(Taking a break from posting the Big House sequence...)
Pretty sure I haven't told you folks yet, but I've been invited to "Furry Studies 2024," the first international academic furry conference (*not* a convention!) They've asked me to give the keynote speech, which I've been working on for the past week, just finished up a Powerpoint to accompany it.
It's an incredible honor to be asked to do the keynote at this event, and I'm looking foward to it. Furry has always been very important to me, and a very central part of my self-identity these days. For most folks I guess furry is a hobby or a diversion, but to me furry is important & speaks to some very deep aspects of human consciousness (which is the kind of stuff I'll be talking about in my keynote.

Ooh, I was in Rotterdam this past summer! It's a blast!
If you like spicy food, I highly, highly recommend Urumqi Restaurant. I'd never had Uyghur food before, and I was pleasantly surprised by how good it was!
Also, the Rotterdam Zoo is fantastic: you could easily spend the majority of a day there. In addition, if you're comfortable with taxidermy, there's the Natural History Museum, which features (among other things) the body of one of the stone martens that caused a short circuit in CERN last decade - a creature many a particle physicist would damn, but since it died due to curiosity, I consider it something of a martyr to science, a martyr marten if you will.

I hope I have a chance to check out those spots - I enjoy zoos and nat history museums. Not sure how much free time I'll have after the conference though. I have a few day' stopover in London on the way back to the US - I'd like to check out the London Zoo while there. (Already visited the city's nat history museum.)
