Minus The Airlines

Ahmar Wolf

With the 10% cut in airline travel starting this week, and with the threat of a total shutdown of all airline travel. I felt it was time I address the issue. I am fully aware a lot of furries count on the airlines. Mainly due to work schedules. As in they can sneak a fur con in when they got the time off.

I am fairly lucky where I live, MFF is not that far away. I take the local public transportation, CTA and PACE. Then Uber back and forth from my hotel. Unfortunately I am not on any of those handy buses routes.

I know many of you can, and do.

Which only leaves getting to the con. I call this article “Minus the Airlines”, because that is a good possibility. By the time MFF rolls around in just a few weeks. There might be nothing flying. Let me make that clear, I am not saying it’s going to happen… but it might.

Then what to do?

I have made it no secret that I love trains. I think train travel is the best, wide seats, food options and if your inclined you can get an adult drink. Are all great.

But I am also fully aware that this is not an option for some, neither are the buses. For all 6′ 2 of me I don’t exactly sit comfortable on a bus. But I do take them when there are no other option. You see I don’t drive, that is a choice, too many aggressive drivers.

So that only lives the final option… DRIVING

Is driving halfway across the country a real option?!!!

For some this maybe the only option.

Look I am not saying change your actual travel plans. But be aware of what is going on in that Looney Bin we call the White House.

I would also advise everyone “Know what your options are”.

If that includes cutting back what cons you see that maybe is another choice.

I was contacted by more than one, telling me they have already cutback. Limiting to cons they can actually drive.

Because we don’t know what those nuts in DC are planning to make our lives worse.

MFF 2025 and Future Plans

Ahmar Wolf

MFF is just over a month away and a friend and I have already made plans. I know that sounds crazy but MFF being so BIG also makes things a bit complicated. Like how to get from Point A to B, and where is that panel room is exactly.

Even though they did post a schedule, and it’s not official as it leaves out The Sponsor Brunch, which is frankly about 90% of why I get a Sponsor Badge. The food is always excellent and more than I can eat. Yes I will be making videos, they will more be split between our YouTube accounts. Speaking of food it’s a bit better this year as roughly a mile from MFF is a few really nice places to eat, that won’t having you take out a loan to buy food. Let’s not forget that Poke bowl place that usually sits in the Lobby of the Convention Center.

Then there is Denny’s, last year it became a real hangout for Furries.

Also a quick message to those staying at hotels, try and keep your room clean and toss your own trash whenever possible.

There is not much to say about MFF and the way I cover it. More or less the same as last year.

Future Plans

Indy Fur Con will be my extra con for next year, and I plan to stay at the main hotel. Unsure what the con means on their site openly wondering about Venue Plans. But it still way early to their next event around 8 months from now.

I know if they don’t move I will be eating at the Waffle House again

No Kings Day Aftermath

Ahmar Wolf

The Republicans can say what they want. BTW the orange one wanted to send roughly 500 troops to stop this. Literally how can 500 stop 100,000+ . I say plus because what you may not have heard the Cops stopped all traffic in and nearby downtown. Speaking of cops, I give many of them a big furry hug for being apart of this march. Officially they monitored the situation. But many were seen laughing and joking with the protesters.

One rumor I am already hearing it took a thunderstorm to break up the last of them. That happened around 8PM

So how big was it? Officially I am not going to say if I was there or not. But from my view if someone told me they has 500,000 I would not be surprised, one Union already posted a few had 7 million combined.

Nov 4th is Mid terms looks like we already know how it’s going to turnout

Jimmy Kimmel and Free Speech

Ahmar Wolf

It seems everyone was outraged when Kimmel was dropped. The writers, the actors even Ted Cruz was pissed off. The reason why Kimmel has a lot of friend on both sides. He even stated that in last night’s monologue. But what you may not know this extends to members of Congress. Ever noticed his list of guests. Ask yourself this, if they truly hated him, why were they on his show?

Speaking of which everyone was pissed off. Except hardline idiots who I would bet would give you the death sentence for chewing gum.

You might be wondering about why that image? Kimmel is on YouTube and it doesn’t matter who owns what. You can watch it on YouTube and it’s 100% legal and it’s there. From my understanding that new episode of Kimmel isn’t even on Hulu currently. To be legal that’s as of 6:23am 9-24-2025

It’s honestly nice to have Jimmy Kimmel back.

Furry Protection Network

Ahmar Wolf

I was recently contacted by the Furry Protection Network for an official endorsement. Which this isn’t, to be honest how can’t I endorse anyone group based upon a few DMs. I have nothing against anyone, just these days the term, “Watch Your Back”. Is something more of us really need to do.

I suggested that once they get a few gatherings without issue. Then I will look at this deal again.

I have screenshot our conversation all because “I am watching my back”, same with this post if any issues a raise.

Fred Patten’s Final Wish

Ahmar Wolf

Fred Patten is well known about the furry community. I was grateful before his passing that I was able to do an interview. I have never told anyone, and frankly only his friends knew he was a frighten old man. Who really felt intimidated.

It seems Patch O’Furr and Dogpatch Press are refusing to abide by Fred Patten’s Final Wish.

You see in his later years Fred Patten wrote 100s of reviews. I don’t quite understand the circumstances but Dogpatch Press got all of them. Before Mr. Patten’s death Patch O’Furr was slowly releasing them. But had to stop when they died.

I found out from one of Mr. Patten’s friends a letter was sent to Dogpatch Press which included his final wish.

That was to release every review online, either a free site or archive dot org

To this very date Patch O’Furr has simply refused to release them.

I am not asking for the reviews, I just want them to be shared to the entire furry fandom. Possibility Furry Preservation or Furry Writer’s Guild

#NSFW Tiniest Mens Swinwear I Could Find #NSFW

Ahmar Wolf

Since there was so much reaction to the 1st post I decided to a follow up and this is the last this year on this subject, and you can see why.

To me that 2nd one looks uncomfortable, having to wear a ring so your balls don’t fall out?!!

It’s a Nearly Nude Summer

Ahmar Wolf1 Comment

So why am I using that above image because I saw a guy wear that at my local beach. No I am not going to bash it, as far as I am concerned people can dress or undress as they like. Personally I wish that nudity was allowed.

But if your raised a certain way and you have always seen a certain style of swimwear all of your life. It can be quite surprising. Like when a few years ago I saw this woman wear only 4 pieces of tape for a top. And before you ask she did remove that tape later. No the cops never came.

I know with conservatives rampaging like Godzilla. You figure that the cops would be monitoring the beaches. They do occasionally here, and only if they see something they react. But 99% of the time they got something better to do.

I know elected officials are always saying the cops will enforce this moral behavior. Most cops just laugh while saying “How”. Believe me what we expect the cops to actually do and all this idiotic nonsense. They just don’t have the time. That is not an excuse but the facts.

In fact a lot don’t mind the nudity, and neither do I

Oh yes, there was one image I wanted to post. But I figured if I posted it, I would look like a rampaging blogger.

But telling you about it, might get some excited.

Open mesh pouch, with openings big enough to put your figure threw.

And That was on my local beach, and yes it was magnificent

The 4th

Ahmar Wolf

But today is the 4th, and in my opinion one of the biggest messed up 4th I ever lived through. We are faced with bad news coming from seemingly everywhere. Where both rich and poor are on the verge of…. 

But we are alive, I may not have as many family connections as you. But you are alive, and hopefully the weather cooperates and you can do what you like to do over this extended weekend. Having fun, traveling, even if it is just to a restaurant to have a good meal. It is doing something and I guess that is the whole point about today. Doing what YOU enjoy rather than someone telling you have to do this or that. 

All I can wish is that you have a good day, and maybe think of me and this message
