Duncan da Husky @duncandahusky@redwombat.social

It appears an #introduction is a common thing on Mastodon (pardon the hashtags):
- I'm a 50 year old pharmaceutical #engineer who helps organize #furry #conventions in his spare time.
- I identify as gray-#asexual/#demisexual.
- I am a widower; my husband of 18 years passed away in 2017.
- I am a voracious reader of #mmromance (especially with #werewolves), and try to post a #bookreview of ones I enjoyed (and some I didn't) when I can on my #blog at http://wolfhusky.net/duncan/wp/

So...hello!

Also, I've been Coordinator (or Co-Coordinator) for the Furry Convention Leadership Roundtable, an informal gathering of furry conventions from all around the world, since 2009. FCLR now includes over 75 conventions, who freely share ideas and support one another.

Are you currently or have you been Staff of any furry convention? If so, for how many years and in what capacity? (And, thank you for your hard work!)

It's been a dark, thundery morning with heavy rain. I'm glad I decided to work from home, at least for the morning. After lunch I go in to work for meetings and more meetings.

Asexual porn is mostly just two people snuggled up on a sofa, sharing a bowl of popcorn and binge-watching episodes of Great British Bake Off.

I’m at my happy place, with this weirdo 🙂 @Rasslor@twitter.com

The new Lion King movie is going to take a dark turn when an emaciated Simba, starving after attempting a diet of only insects, eats Timon and Pumbaa. Hakuna Matata indeed ('cause you haven't have worries when you're dead!)

Man, this is so true. I have exactly as much loyalty toward my employer as my employer has toward me.

I love how every company assumes that in the event of a major environmental disaster, that their workers will be loyal and help them recover.

Companies have spent decades laying people off them when it becomes a dime cheaper to throw work elsewhere. That “loyalty” got torched.

I am now suitably equipped to visit Minneapolis this weekend! $20 gets you a free beer at 32 different dog-friendly breweries in and around the Twin Cities, plus it raises money for @Pause4PawsMN@twitter.com 🙂 #SidewalkDog

@Buried_In_Books@twitter.com This weekend a box of cookies showed up on my doorstep. Thank you @Buried_In_Books@twitter.com and @QQH_Designs@twitter.com! You guys really made me smile.

Last week, I discussed the awkwardness of dealing with others' loss. @Buried_In_Books@twitter.com noted that sending cookies or summer sausage just seemed wrong, but I figured that if I'm down, "I feel like crap but at least I have cookies" isn't the worst thing. (1/2)

Wow, that was a very social weekend. From Saturday's awesome brewery adventures with @roscoraccoon@twitter.com and dinner with @furfest@twitter.com staffers to today's full slate of MFF meetings and discussion, it was a good time all around, though.

I love this thread so much 😀

Because people are dinguses and I'm still mad, a Thread:

Fantasy needs to get over its weird attitude towards romance. First off, there would be so many fewer crappy romance subplots if people read romance books & respected it as a genre. 1/?

What is best after an afternoon of beer (and spirit) flights? A cider flight!

This will almost certainly end well.

So @roscoraccoon@twitter.com and I are realizing that our furry roots both trace back to the late 90’s and just how much our paths have crossed without us knowing.

I have SO MANY issues with the interior decor here, and for some reason @roscoraccoon@twitter.com is laughing at me.

Song of 1,000 Birds IPA from Lake Zurich Brewing Co. Pretty tasty!

Round 2, @RoaringTable@twitter.com in Lake Zurich with a really excellent raspberry/peach fruited sour.

Kicking off a short tour of breweries at @LTLBrewery@twitter.com with @roscoraccoon@twitter.com.
