“Imagination is limitless,
but skepticism is meaningless
- if nothing improves.”

Hi - I'm Camstone Fox, a red fox #greymuzzle (61yo) Mustached #Fursuiter, scientist, #inventor, #photographer, hopeless romantic, flirt & “all-around nice guy” - part of the #Anthropomorphic #Furry community.

Yes, #Fox, Faux, Phaux, Phacques, & Fuchs are the same, as I fauxed around, found out & have no more faux to give. Therefore, I rant post a lot.

(Pronouns: he, him, his & idiot).

I am an American, White, Non-Hispanic of #Scottish highlander descent (Yes, I wear a kilt and enjoy single malts, fish & chips and haggis) I wear a handlebar mustache in memory & out of respect for my late father, whose avocation was a magician.

In real life, I am a remarried widower with a teenager, (#Dad) financially stable, & work F/T as a tenured #research #scientist / manager in high energy #physics & #engineering. Known in some circles as "a rocket scientist with a mustache cut by lasers" & as a patented inventor. I have 39 years of continuous work experience, managing multiple large-budget programs, & considered a Highly Qualified Expert (HQE/SME). Politics are also a daily part of my life.

The computers I work on are mainly PCs running Windows 10, but have Macs, run a Linux based NAS, with far too many electronic devices (IoT) networked together. I tend to use cutting-edge technology including optics, supercomputers & Machine Learning (AI), but value hard data & reliability. I travel extensively domestically & internationally, also going and been to multiple professional & furry conventions in my free time. I love to meet up with friends & family when on travel, & often been described as a #foodie. I love alternative music, animation, movies, and graphical arts & am a skilled photographer. I am also a skilled horseman, having trained, competed & won multiple ribbons, instructed, & managed stables at larger riding academies. My passion for riding is three-day eventing, but I loved just going for a trail ride in the woods.

My personality tends to be one of a hopeless romantic & unrequited optimist. The glass is not only half full, but it will only take a bit more to cause it to overflow. Therefore, I try. I am often sending wishes for & hoping for love in return because I am often very low on realized self-appreciation. I’ve also overcome several personal, genetic health issues (AFIB, hypercholesterolemia, HBP, allergic to statins) & therefore know what it is like to be knocked down only to get back up again.

I believe in democracy, a woman’s right to choose, freedom of (or not to have a) religion, that Black Lives Matter (- not all lives & not "blue" lives), and that too many Christians (which I am one, an “unreformed” Presbyterian) have done far too many wrongs - than done actual “good.” I have been vaccinated 5 times for COVID & will encourage you to get vaccines - because #SCIENCE matters. I will try to respect your background, choices & beliefs, so please try to be considerate & understanding of mine. But Nazis, White Supremacists, RNC/GOP members, pedophiles, Conspiracy Theorists, 2020 Election Outcome Deniers, 3%'ers, “Ye” & "Melonusk" can all “phaucque” the way the heck off of this planet!

Updates on Mastodon of my meandering thoughts should follow on a regular basis. I’m always interested in mentoring or sharing ideas with others & learning. For me, there are no dumb or “out of bounds” questions - most are welcome through a DM. Answers may or may not reflect actual facts, mood, or personal beliefs depending on the audience. I have no AD instance, so just please put those topics into DMs to send them to me. Don’t be shy, we’re adults, right?

(!) general cw tags for political, home situation or family venting.

what to expect: I toot like a blog, in that I tend to talk about everyday life, #science, computers & #technology, cooking, #photography, #horses, and nature in general.
- I will discuss my family, emotional, and work situations.
- I do not game on my computers, as much as I edit images and photographs, as well as edit videos
- Sometimes I post photos of my dog & cat, travels, work, home projects, hobbies, & my OC’s art - and they may even be suggestive, but I will not post nudity or sexually explicit items on my timeline.
- I will use profanity if the situation is warranted. I'm a city boy but tend to be mindful, and respectful, use manners & do things that are traditional or considered old-fashioned.
- I have a strong personality and oft found thinking or overthinking problems.
