Happy #FursuitFriday from a HAWT, HOT, HAWT FOX while at #anthrocon2023 (And remember, if it's still smoky out- it's no longer a Jalapeno, it's a Chipotle!)

@cosmo - What's the going rate for rent in your head... asking for potential #furrygeezer purposes... for a friend... y'now. ;)
Whoa… just brain crashed (fell asleep for an hour in my easy chair) and barely even noticed it. #furrygeezer
@ThylacoleoCarnifex - Can’t really recall my 40’s, as I was too busy living my best life…and am still going strong as a #furrygeezer ;)
@Ferles - Re: #FurryGeezer - the real origin goes back to when the late, great friend of mine "Jugular Jaguar" (aka Draconis or Loren McLaughlin) discussed older furries sitting on lawnchairs and watching the grass grow, & yelling/telling youngsters to "Stay off my lawn!" (see also recent "touch grass!" arguments.)
#Greymuzzle & #FurryGeezer are voluntary words & signs of affection. Use by young furs as derogatories shows their ignorance, prejudice & disrespect. #greymuzzle is a self taken sign of maturity & enjoying better things in life. Also I'm now an involuntary member of #FurryUndead , as I've been defibrulated 6+ times, & still alive. So, if your heart ever stopped - then restarted, you can be #furryundead .
We also need to start a #undeaddogparty theme for cons. That would be so awesome/cool.

@lupestripe You realize it’s not going to happen, right? I actually take pride in being a #greymuzzle. And I’m also proud to be a #furrygeezer (for those furries over 55.) The context was always appreciative, denoting maturity and fun later in life. Only recently did anyone consider it derogatory and age discriminatory.
@duncandahusky - Welcome to being a #furrygeezer , Duncan. Care for a lawn-chair? At least we have Hawaiian shirts, long bar tabs, and some dignity… I think.
@drmaddkap - Hint: your next smoking section is the crematorium. (ow, that burns)
#furrygeezer
I literally lost focus, passed out in my arm chair, just fell totally asleep while working on a project & as I was drinking a cup of coffee… #furrygeezer
Damn it… A family friend just went on terminal leave with ALS, and put on a vent 24/7… (sighs) This is the part of being a #furrygeezer that I really hate. I am blessed with the friendship I’ve made, but it just sucks to see other pass on…
@bennie I feel called out in this, and I’m not sure if I like it. #furrygeezer
@Ferles @robinhood Oh, that’s #furrygeezer gold right there. (hands you a lawnchair)
@punkwasp Heyas, thought I shoild say Hi, so I am. Am a #FurryGeezer & #FurryDad , so don’t be alarmed at my mundane postings. I need something to write about other than my own bizzaro life… so, whazsnew?
Todays kids will never know the real labor of love that really went into making a toasted cheese sandwich back in my day… #furrygeezer
@keirFox - Bro… “One of us.”
Welcome to the other side.
#furrygeezer is optional. Be yourself. We love you for being you. Being a fox is a bonus, imho. I’m glad to know you, anyway. As for where you belong- look at the ground below you. That’s where you’re supposed to be.
@jackemled @soatok - See, you’re the kinda furs I wanna hang out with… even though I’m a #furrygeezer .
@LexYeen All good info, but I would offer that it be amended only to say that Ken should be credited with the “creation of foundational concepts for the modern fandom of furry characters and use of a fursonae.” Animal-Human anthropomorphic anthropology predates the fandom and Ken, perhaps by centuries in American Indian, Greco-Roman and Egyptian mythos. But the current narrative and vision are absolutely as you offer herein, and I welcome its reminder. (See also #furrygeezer )
