#ef30

Join us at our EF30 Furry Fediverse Meet-Up! Meet your Fedi friends in a relaxed atmosphere, exchange stickers, take photos together, and spam our Fediwall again! Fursuits are welcome and hugs are free (if you ask nicely). Now even cuddlier! This time we'll also have a short intro by @tuxel@meow.social for people who are new to the Fediverse, so bring your friends! Thursday, August 20 19:00 - 20:30 CCH room Y 7-8 Hope to see you there! Find us in the official schedule #Eurofurence #EF30 #FurryFediverse

The printed stickers for our Fediverse meet-up at Eurofurence 30 are done! The beautiful art was done by @fennek@bark.lgbt Like every year, you'll be able to grab them at our meet-up and (with some luck) at the sticker tables around the con! And if you can't make it to EF, I might be able to send you some by mail afterwards. We will also have another little sticker-related surprise at the meet-up, so come join us at EF! The time & date for our meet-up will be announced as soon as the event schedule is finalized. Thanks again to everyone who donated to make these possible! #Eurofurence #EF30

@wolfwalks@app.wafrn.net asked Have you been to a furry con before? What was your favorite part, OR what are you most looking forward to? yes i have, though i've always gone to eurofurence. i like the freedom of it. i am pretty openly a furry with my friends but i have had people say that furries are weird, and that they're acting strange on the internet. and honestly? i agree. but i do like that weirdness and strangeness. it's freeing. i like that the furry community has a place for everyone. eurofurence hosts several kink events and while i'm not personally a part of most of them (rubber/pooltoy furries, for example) i'm so happy that they have a place here because it also makes me feel safer to express myself. i love seeing people's obviously kink-inspired fursonas. i like the authenticity of people proudly saying "yeah, this is me, this is all of me". i use it as a chance to get my freak out. i can be weird, i can be strange, i can be free. it's nice. i would go to more conventions if i could afford to, but for right now it's just once a year. and i do try to make it count. for this year i am mostly looking forward to presenting the game @Caramelcorgi and i have been working on for a few months now. it's still in very rough shape (and there is no public footage yet, sorry -- i would prefer the first impression to be as good as possible. though caramelcorgi has a few sprites on his profile), but we are working on polishing it. i've already had very good feedback the very few times i've shown off real footage to others in person, so i hope that in two months of additional polishing there will be considerable interest at the convention. i love the furry community. i've been in it since i was a teenager. i love the radical inclusivity of it - no matter how weird or niche your interests are, you'll find a place within. #ask #ef30 #eurofurence
