donation request, trans youth 

Every year my husband, partners and I make stockings for the LGBTQ+ youth homeless shelter. Over the next week we're collecting donations to buy more gift cards for them. We will be collecting until December 14th.

We are trying to hit $1600 to add $40 for each of the 40 gift bags we're making.
If you are able, please donate here: paypal.me/orlvolunteer

We are also collecting items for the stockings. Here is the Amazon Wishlist: smile.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/l

Skijoring: the sport of X-C skiing while being pulled by "wolves on strings".

Art by Keovi (who I don't think is on Mastodon), ca 2014. We'd been chatting at a con (probably Further Confusion) about skijoring & described how deer we encounter likely saw our huskies as vicious wolves on strings, rather than the charming fluffy goofballs that we know them to be. She later gifted us with this sketch.

Y'all have no idea how hard you're gonna fall for this wolf. #PussInBoots
