inevitablegoose - Official Identity Statement
=============================================

Statement date:   2026-10-05
Supersedes:       all earlier statements (this is version 1)
Canonical URL:    https://inevitablegoose.com/official

Who I am
~~~~~~~~
I'm Virgil, the maker behind inevitablegoose: fursuits, maker
resources, gooseeyes (the open source system for blinking fursuit
eyes), and various technical and artistic pursuits.

My OpenPGP key
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Fingerprint:  B9AF 34C3 6257 672B DAFE  99E0 0CD2 2A59 D030 C6C0

This statement is signed with that key. If the signature doesn't
verify, or the fingerprint doesn't match, don't trust it.

Official accounts
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
These are the only accounts I do business from. Anything else
claiming to be inevitablegoose is not me, no matter how convincing
it looks.

  * Website:    https://inevitablegoose.com
  * Etsy:       https://www.etsy.com/shop/inevitablegoose
  * GitHub:     https://github.com/inevitablegoose
  * TikTok:     https://www.tiktok.com/@inevitablegoose
  * Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/inevitablegoose/
  * YouTube:    https://youtube.com/@inevitablegoose
  * Twitter:    https://x.com/inevitablegoot
  * Email:      virgil@inevitablegoose.com

Commissions and payments
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  * Commission inquiries start through Instagram, TikTok, my
    website, or email. I never DM first. If "I" reached out to
    you unprompted offering a slot, it's a scam.
  * After first contact, I may move our conversation to a
    messaging app. I will always tell you about that move from
    the account you originally contacted. If someone on another
    app says they're me and I didn't send you there, it isn't me.
  * I only take payment through PayPal Goods and Services, Etsy,
    or Square or Stripe for in-person transactions.
  * I will never ask you to pay by gift card, crypto, or
    "friends and family."

If my accounts are compromised or lost
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I will update this page with a newly signed statement. A post
claiming to be me that isn't backed by a signed statement here
should be treated as fake.

If my key ever changes, the new statement will be signed by BOTH
the old and new keys, unless the old key was compromised, in which
case its revocation certificate will be published here.

How to verify
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Get my public key from any of these:
  https://inevitablegoose.com/pubkey.asc
  https://keys.openpgp.org (search: virgil@inevitablegoose.com)
  https://github.com/inevitablegoose.gpg

Check that the fingerprint matches the one above AND the one
shown on my other accounts before trusting the signature.
