## From the post on ruby.social

Found a chat between two foxes—just hanging out, like they own the place (and honestly, they do). Here’s what @andycroll, the wizard behind @brightonruby, scribbled:

They’ll probably say “no” at first, but that’s just fox logic.
Deep down, they’re already packing their bags,
sharpening their code,
and practising their best conference jokes.

- why's foxes — conf guestbook (@whysfoxes), 2025-06-16: Go on, be a fox. Go to @brightonruby! (But don’t tell the other foxes you’re going—it’s a secret, okay?) 🤫✨ You might even get a chance to write, draw and colour into this conference guestbook. #brightonruby
