I do Zoo advocacy through words, ideas, and wit. I don't share porn. I share perspective. Zoo isn't degradation. It's Love. If you’re looking to sell, goon, or be degraded, you're after a different beast.

Dear Zoo, When you die edited, the angels don't sing. They just whisper, "It could've been."

I was promised a life of dangerous appetites and romantic transgression. Somehow this now involves buying dog food in bulk.

Once you know what freedom feels like, withholding it from others becomes terribly gauche.

Roses are red, The wolf's at the door, I've made worse decisions. And plan to make more.

Zoo culture is discovering that "he comes everywhere with me" can be meant figuratively.

Dear Zoo, You were taught certain doors should never be opened. Those behind them are wondering what's taking you so long.

Halloween is the annual reminder that monsters are often a matter of perspective. Some of us simply learned which black dog to follow.
The kids are all in bed. The parties are all over. And now it’s just you and #ZooTT. Time to cuddle up with a good ghost story! Check out, “The Hound of All Souls,” and our annual Samhain ritual! Listen here! zoo.wtf/s8e8-howloween-2026

Happy Halloween! If you meet a spectral black dog tonight, he already assumes you have taste. He appears at midnight, glances toward the woods, and leaves the rest to your imagination. It would be rude not to see where this goes.

The funniest thing about being called "unnatural" is how often the accusation arrives from someone dressed as an animal.

Oh hallway pause, oh trembling Zoo, A door awaits, a door for you. With cookies sweet, and stickers too, And knots that bind, yet set you true.

Zoo culture is knowing "I love dogs" has an approved depth setting.

Dear Zoo, Perhaps the greatest privilege of finding freedom is becoming part of the infrastructure.

Antis spend more time thinking about us than we spend thinking about them. If that's not devotion, it's at least bad time management.

Nothing quite like getting to breathe freely for the first time in your life.
There's nothing better for dealing with the shame some feel for being zoosexual than meeting and hanging with other zoos. You quickly realize we're all just people, we love animals, and the monster that you've built yourself up to be is made by people who have no idea who you are

Dear Zoo, Remember: you're not real. Just a mass hallucination spanning continents, languages, and history. Like Santa Claus, if Santa was into ferals and existential dread.

Speak not always, but when you do, let it be obscure enough to dodge moderation and clear enough to find your people. For sincerity is a dangerous game, and irony a safer sheath in which Truth may sometimes hide.

Zoo history is largely the story of people finding each other despite everyone else's efforts to increase the search difficulty.

Zoo culture is being told your relationship with dogs is unhealthy by people whose fursona has a Linkedin account.

Humans call the dog family, best friend, child, soulmate, therapist, and guardian angel. Zoos add one adjective, and suddenly everyone discovers taxonomy.
