Nordic Fuzz Con (Sweden) Cancelled

As announced on their Telegram

We can now confirm that NordicFuzzCon 2022 is cancelled. We finally reached an agreement on the contract a few hours ago. After negotiations over the previous two weeks with our partners, we were able to achieve cancellation terms that work for NFC and help to ensure the future viability of the convention.

Those who have chosen the roll-over option will have their registration rolled-over to NFC 2023. Anyone who has not yet chosen to roll-over is still able to do so via their NFC Account page (https://nordicfuzzcon.org/Account/Rollover). The dates for NFC 2023 are February 22nd through 26th.

Thank you for your patience while we have worked through the various options on the table for NFC this year. The overwhelming majority of you have committed to rolling-over to 2023 – this was a key part of helping ensure the financial viability of rolling-over and we are deeply grateful for your support. While we are disappointed about not being able to see you all in Malmö this year, we feel this is the best option for attendees’ safety and enjoyment, staff planning, and the convention as a whole.

More information is available on the NFC website https://www.nordicfuzzcon.org/Attending/RolloverInfo

The Article that Started New Zealand Furry Drama

Here is it

Who runs the internet? Furries

Without coping the entire article

Despite the furry fandom’s low public profile, it’s often suggested, and appears anecdotally true, that IT experts are over-represented among the membership of the community. As such, there are hundreds (perhaps thousands) of furries behind the scenes inside communications and technology companies worldwide. Apple, Google, Facebook, Amazon: it’s likely that all of the world’s biggest tech names have furries in key roles.

It’s a really nice piece on how many furries are ITs and how many of them work tirelessly to keep our tech happy world going.
