Not many know this, but I have long been involved with helping save the endangered Channel Island fox, found off the coast of S. Calif. We just finished the annual meeting where we learn the latest info about them. I’m happy to report these cuties, about the size of a housecat, are still doing well!

And here it is! The #PurplePic from @furryweekend.com/ #FWA2026 in all its purple glory! Big thanks to all you purples that showed up! And huge thanks to @yukonbarksalot.bsky.social for taking the pic!

At @furryfiesta.org/ #TFF2026, THREE giraffes made it into the giraffe pic! That’s @lontan.bsky.social, Geoffrey (tallgeoffrey on tumbler) and me! #FursuitFriday 📷: @varekmorro.bsky.social

Today we got ourselves a Purple @zarafa.bsky.social and a Red @beagleinred.bsky.social here at #FWA2026

At the #FWA2026/ @furryweekend.com aquarium takeover, the beluga whales were extremely interested in my handpaw squeakers. I don’t know what I said, but apparently I’m a good whale conversationalist! :) An amazing, unforgettable experience! Big thanks to @konekocloud22.bsky.social for the 🎥!

Whew! @furryweekend.com/ #FWA2026 has come to an end! Big thanks to all the staff and volunteers who planned and worked so hard so we could all party hard!

At @furcon.bsky.social/ #FC2026, I got into a big discussion about life, the universe and everything with @nikofox.bsky.social. @fluxpaw.bsky.social couldn’t get a word in edgewise. :) #FursuitFriday 📷: @yellyxp.bsky.social

Wooo! Here it is! Presenting the #PurplePic from @lasvegasfurcon.org / #LVFC2026! Big thanks to all the purples for waiting around, and to our photographer, @[email protected]

Enough people have sent this to me that I consider it my duty to repost. :) IFYYK

That was a memorable day! :)

After Frolic last night, headed down the street to V Cafe to get my traditional post Frolic cheesesteak. Growing up in Philly, I know to ask for cheez whiz, but it’s not on the menu. I haven’t been there in 4 months: the lady behind the counter immediately says “Welcome back! Cheez whiz, right?” :)

Eeeeeee! Tonight is @frolic.bsky.social, my favorite furry event in the Bay! I missed the last one, so it’s been awhile, and I can’t wait to be back! Looking forward to seeing all you fuzzies there, and dancing my purple butt off!

Zarafa isn't kidding about the whirlpools!

Never! Purple shall not be subdued! :)

The pool parties at @lasvegasfurcon.org were simply off the hook. I felt like I was in the coolest party I’d ever seen, something you’d see in a movie. Animals everywhere, in the pool or sunbathing. And that was the first time I’ve ever been caught in a furry generated whirlpool! 📷: @rezwolf.com

Wow! Just wow! @lasvegasfurcon.org/ #LVFC2026 was amazing. It gets bigger and crazier every year, in all the good ways. Huge thanks to the staff and volunteers, who work so hard to make it all happen.

Today marks 7yrs since my friend Dogbomb left this earth.The words he asked me to read at an ALS walk still resonate:1)Be kind 2 strangers.2)Help those in need. 3)Have a smile& a good word 4 everyone.4)Tell your friends &family that you love them at every opportunity. 📷: @Loc0.bsky.social

Let’s do this again! The #PurplePic at @lasvegasfurcon.org/ #LVFC2026 is happening TOMORROW/Saturday at 1pm, right after the group fursuit photo! Meet on the main central walkway outside Building 11. Spread the word!

Two cons in two weekends: #TFF2026 last weekend, and now @lasvegasfurcon.org/ #LVFC2026! Whew! I’ve been recharging the batteries between cons. :) #FursuitFriday 📷: @varekmorro.bsky.social

Ok! On my way to part 2 of a double header! First #TFF2026 last weekend, then visiting family in ABQ, and now on to Vegas for @lasvegasfurcon.org / #LVFC2026! Looking forward to seeing even more of you fuzzbutts in Vegas!

Ta-dahhh! Here it is! The #PurplePic from @furryfiesta.org / #TFF2026. Big thanks to all you purples for showing up! And special thanks to our photographer @bluehasia.bsky.social!

*blushes*

Bye Dallas! Wow, what a con! @furryfiesta.org/ #TFF2026 is in the books! Caught up w/ old friends, made new ones,danced till my legs gave out. Huge thanks to the staff & volunteers who work hard to make it all run,so we can have so much fun! Next up: Albuquerque to visit family & then on to LVFC!

Hey purple furs at #TFF2026/ @furryfiesta.org! The #PurplePic is TODAY at 1 PM, after the group fursuit pic! Meet in the con space just outside the main ballroom. Look for me, the purple giraffe! Spread the word to other purples!

One of my all time favorite pics: me w/@asherthedragon.bsky.social, who gave me my first intense hug. The way the bustle of the hallway fades away,the lines in the carpet make us the focus… A perfect representation of getting lost in a REALLY good hug. :) #FursuitFriday 📷: @lostwolf321.bsky.social

Alrighty then! The #PurplePic at #TFF2026/ @furryfiesta.org will take place SATURDAY, 1 PM, immediately after the group fursuit pic. Meet in the con space just outside the main ballroom. Look for me, the purple giraffe! Spread the word to other purples!

Hello Dallas! It’s good to be back here for @furryfiesta.org/ #TFF2026!

As a dedicated window seat flyer, I _finally_ got a beautiful view of the Grand Canyon enroute to TFF! I frequently look for it, rarely see it! :O

On the road again! Sailed through security at OAK in 5 min. Whew! Heading to Dallas today for TFF, then to Las Vegas for LVFC. Double play! See all you fuzzbutts soon!

A colorful crew! :) #FursuitFriday That’s @tjfoxdubz.bsky.social, me, @campion608.bsky.social and @goldenwolf2879.bsky.social at @motorcityfurrycon.org 📷: @goldenwolf2879.bsky.social

For the first and probably only time in my life, I’m driving a Maserati today. :) My Corolla is in the shop for some repairs from a minor accident. The other driver’s insurance paid for a rental, and all they had on the lot was a Maserati SUV. LOL!

Fursuiting in SF’s Chinatown last weekend, the day after the Chinese New Year parade! :) #FursuitFriday Big thanks to @sagemane.bsky.social for organizing. 📷: @ochrecoyote.bsky.social

2/2) I asked the nutritionist if she was watching #ThePitt. She was. She remembered the furry scenes. I said “I’m a furry”. A very cool convo followed, with an accurate description of my exercise levels. :)

As a follow up to seeing furries on #ThePitt, I was getting a nutrition consult as part of my cardiac rehab, and was asked about my physical activity levels. How, exactly, do I describe the hours of dancing I do at every con I go to? (1/2)

The Pitt is one of the few medical shows I can watch. Seeing the fandom portrayed reasonably on a hit TV show was epic. The character refers to AC as “Pittsburgh’s annual furry convention” with a sense of pride. Totally accurate for that city, & why I say every fur should go to AC at least once.

Working in Pacifica today. It never ceases to amaze me that I can be working in a place where I can just stare out at the ocean. :)

Hey Bay Area furs! The Berkeley Furmeet is TOMORROW, 7pm at LaVal’s on Euclid. See all you fuzzbutts there!

THOU SHALL NOT PASS! Unless, of course, you want a hug. :) #FursuitFriday 📷: @veehicles.one

Every year, in late February, my fruit tree blossoms. And every year, I go WTF? It’s FEBRUARY! I grew up on the east coast, currently under a blizzard watch, which makes sense there at this time of year. THEN I remember I live in Calif. Stay safe, all of you expecting snow.

Just one…more…step…and I think I can nail’em with a snowball… :) #FursuitFriday 📷: @barkleybeaver.bsky.social

And here it is! The #PurplePic from #MCFC2026/ @motorcityfurrycon.org ! We have two versions as we explored the best photoshoot locations at the new venue, the Renaissance Center! Big thanks to all you purples for showing up! 📷: @skarth.bsky.social
