[4/4] We’ve also shared a longer note about community involvement and where we want to take DEFCON Furs from here: paaster.io/69c61841780f...

[3/4] If you are interested, know someone who might be a fit, or can help boost this to the right people, please reach out at board@hackyourlives.org or DM @Junaos / @Tanuski on Telegram.

[2/4] We are looking for a vector artist who can help with badge artwork for PCB production (2–3 colors), with a preferred timeline of Friday, April 3. We are also open to connecting with artists for other event visuals and creative assets. All commissioned event artists are compensated.

TL;DR: We urgently need a paid vector artist for this year’s DEFCON Furs badge.

[1/4] We had an artist lined up for this year’s badge, but they had to step away unexpectedly right as we got to the wire. Shit happens, and we hold no ill will — but it does mean we need to move quickly.

We're extremely excited to finally release our official donation swag!

Now if you go to https://soaring.fitness/ and go to our support us page, you can pick up some fits including this comfy design by @kamaustarpaw.bsky.social

We've got 4 amazing designs and more on the way, so nab your swag now!

If you are at @furcon.bsky.social today join us this evening for our panel "HACKING THROUGH THE AGES"

Room: Hilton: University
8:00 PM - 9:00 PM

I got to help illustrate this badge for @dcfurs.com as part of #defcon33, which took place last weekend.

I love creative technical projects, so being part of the collaboration on this furry circuit based toy has been great! Thanks for the chance. Hope it was a fun weekend!

Hey #badgelife we dropped a bunch of badges at Hacker Warehouse in the defcon vendor hall! Get them while they last. They come with drink tickets for our events today as well! #defcon33

We assembled 550 @dcfurs.com badges this year. Here's the YSM20R-2 ripping thru RGB LED placements on the top side! We are picking from a single 8mm feeder since there weren't enough LEDs in total to justify setting up multiple.

The air quality has unfortunately gotten worse as the day has continued so we are moving our outdoor BSIdesLV events indoors for tonight.

The DEFCON Furs+Queercon meetup today will now be in Copa from 10-11:30pm.

Notes: You do not need any badges to attend, just show up at the pool gate nearest the Piazza Lounge/Casino and we will get you access. Bring your swimwear. Towels and changing facilities will be available. Parking is free.

Please join us tomorrow at the DEFCON Furs+Queercon meetup at the Tuscany Suites & Casino Pool

When: Monday August 4th. From 10pm until late

Who: you!

Why: As we kickoff the wee of Hacker Summer Camp meet old friends and new at our DEFCON Furs+Queercon meetup and pool party.

We are also partnering with Hacker Warehouse, which will have some of our badges available in their DEFCON Vendor booth. (Note: you can not pick up our preorders at their booth)

Hey #BadgeLife - the DEFCON Furs 2025 badges are NOW available for preorder on our website :D

One of the core principles of Hack Your Lives has always been the importance of living your most authentic self. Now, more than ever, it’s crucial to reiterate that we stand with our community. In these challenging times, it’s essential to uphold our principles. /1

If your whole bluesky profile is you asking people to commission you, or you give off bot vibes, you will not get a response and you will be blocked.

We are looking for an artist that can help us design the next iteration of the DEFCON Furs badge. You must have experience with vector art, designing for PCBs is a plus.

If you are part of our community (DEFCON/hacker, furry, queer, and/or GNC), and an experienced vector artist, reach out.

Our parent org now has it's own BSky as well :)
