A spotlight on our mvp's - our sustaining partners

---

 Stories are cultural artifacts, whether it's epics on clay tablets or big-budget films. Those artifacts can tell us a lot about the time and culture that made them if we take a few minutes to shake them and see what falls out. To that end, an independent scholar goes rogue from academic respectability, wanders out into the wild, and talks to the trees and rocks about science fiction and its place in historical study. This is the Feral Historian

Small business owner  Mayra Cuadra of Rico's Threads is not just another clothing designer. Her puppy-wear evokes a confidence in our dogs that puts a strut in their steps that will warm your heart. Rico's threads is not just a partner, not just a friend, but an ally in treating dogs the way they ought to be treated. Respect with fashion.

 Located @ 3924 W Ina Rd in Tucson,  Cold Blooded Exotics offers custom bioactive builds!

 Bruce Caulkins, founder and president of Pawsitive Vibes, was born and raised in Galesburg, Illinois.  An artist educated at the School of the Art Institute in Chicago, Bruce has worked managerial retail for 30+ years.   Pawsitive Vibes is the result of years of planning and research, and a desire to create a unique, inherently Tucson local business with quality dog and cat products unavailable at big box retail.  He and his husband are the proud servants of 6 dogs, 3 cats, 2 ferrets, 1 cockatoo, and 1 arachnid. They have lovingly called Tucson home since 2019 and live in the northwest side of town. They currently host a donation box for Pause For Paws Animal Sanctuary within their store.
