Means Furry News
So what is Furrstein? It is a real fur con that takes place in a converted castle. Meaning it went from a castle to a hotel.
So being out in a rural part of that country. Con prices also include cost of rooms.
2950 CZK for the Basic works out to be $128 to the top price of $141 in other words cheap compared to US Cons. If you ever wanted to hang out in a real castle next to Wild North (Scotland) here is your chance.
Furrstein this is also their very 1st
In an article on The Animal Rescue site by Andrea Powell
They tell about…
Russian forces were driven out of the villages of the Nikolaev region near Mykolaiv by the Ukrainian military and left behind many dangerous objects – and a Belgian Shepherd.
Ukrainians view dogs as members of the family and took the abandoned dog in as one of their own. The trained military dog was renamed Max and joined the defenders of Ukraine.
The National Guard of Ukraine posted about their new team member and said, “This is a Belgian shepherd, about three years old and he is in great shape. All the base teams know. So far he understands teams only in the language of the occupiers, but Ukrainian language classes have already begun.”
These Guards and their animal partners save lives from all Russia has left behind in that senseless ware

As originally posted by My Modern Met
As the Russian invasion of Ukraine drags on, people continue to flee from unsafe parts of the country. Some travel by car or train while others, like Igor Pedin, escape on two feet. The 61-year-old walked from the besieged city of Mariupol to Zaporizhzhia—a place that’s 140 miles away. In the U.S., that would be the equivalent of walking from Washington, D.C., to Philadelphia. And Pedin didn’t make the trek alone. His faithful dog Zhu-Zhu was with him every step of the way.
Pedin risked grave personal danger to make it to safety. He strove to be “invisible” as he walked toward convoys of Russian soldiers and armored vehicles while navigating around destroyed bridges and buildings. Although he wasn’t invisible, he was incredibly fortunate—especially considering what he left behind. Mariupol has been the site of intense fighting and is a humanitarian crisis; people are having trouble escaping and many have died.
But they made it read the full story HERE
There is much I can say about what happened. But the only thing certain as of this moment that children are dead, while their loved ones cry their hearts out. There is only one thing I can say of how totally insane this world have gotten of late. We need to start thing about those left behind. I can tell you that when a family member such as my own brother dies… for whatever the reason. You feel that your life is gone forever. That there even might be a glimpse that suicide is the only way to stop the pain. But life goes on, and we really need to take it down a notch. Things are insane, plans have been changed even my own plans. You know I don’t even go out past sunset any more. Even at my job, we have people ready, will and able to use a gun to protect their co-workers. The High end shops now have armed security who act as doorpeople. Keeping the door locked unless someone wishes to enter.
Downtown Chicago is almost a Ghost Town. Bus drivers tell me that they rarely see anyone on the street at night anymore.
Do we really have to live like this?!!!
We’ll start: with a turnout of 181 attendees, FurcoNZ 2022 has been the biggest New Zealand furry convention in history (so far) – it certainly felt as though we had a lot more suiters than last time!
For the record FurcoNZ had had a 117 at their 2020 con, this is now a 3rd fur con to have record attendance. Still waiting on charity numbers
In addition
We have had an attendee test positive for COVID after con. In short: > fully masked at con and asymptomatic > 11am shuttle (Monday) We believe this is low risk, but please continue to be vigilant. If you test positive, please inform info@furconz.org.nz so we can notify contacts.
Joe Strike mentioned in his own newsletter about the piece
The segment itself was titled “Do You Identify as a Furry.” (Earlier in the episode though it was teased as “Furry Fetish?”) Apart from asking that obligatory question – and my obligatory response (“there are furry-related fetishes, but Furry itself is simply a community of people fascinated by imaginary, anthropomorphic animals”) they totally let me speak my piece without turning the segment into a debate.
They incorporated stills of me as my scaly alter-ego Komos and a clip of a furry convention dance rave video. At the end the two hosts decided Furry is a Good Thing – and even compared notes on what animals they’d like to suit up as: one chose tiger while his co-host said his computer screen wallpaper is a lion, so he’d go that route. (They also plugged Furry Nation, even put its cover onscreen, which I did not mind one bit.
