Purple giraffe living in the SF Bay Area! Hugs and puns may occur!
Two weekends ago I was at San Diego Comic Con. (#SDCC26/ @sandiegocomic-con.bsky.social) I arrange a big furmeet of furries with con badges and also local SD furries. Wonderful chaos ensued. :) And a purple pic! 📷: group shot: Andy 📷 purple pic: @Atchi.bsky.social
On my way to Furrydelphia2026/ @furrydelphia.org today, my first time at this convention. I am SO excited to be back in my hometown, the city I grew up in, but this time actually walking the streets as a purple giraffe. :)
Hey Bay Area furs! The next Berkeley furmeet is tomorrow, 8/4/26, at LaVal’s Pizza on Euclid! Come join us at 7pm for some low key socializing with your fellow furs! AND there’s good pizza! :) Bring a badge if you have one!
Eeeeee! Frolic is tonite (@frolic.bsky.social) our local furry dance party. I missed the last one in June so it’s been 4 months! Looking foward to seeing the new venue! I can’t wait to get all purple and dance my butt off! See all you fuzzbutts there!
Thank you all for the wonderful birthday wishes! I can barely believe it, but I turn 68 today! :O Thanks to @gutex64128.bsky.social @wolfwithdances.bsky.social @banditraccoon.bsky.social @suntattoowolf.bsky.social for all the bday msgs and all y’all on telegram and anyone I missed. I love you all!
Well _of course_ I want to take the Purple Line! #FursuitFriday 📷: Taken at San Diego ComicCon by @manedcalico.bsky.social
In the heat of summer, a picture from @motorcityfurrycon.org / #MCFC2026 in February to cool you off! #FursuitFriday 📷: @barkleybeaver.bsky.social
That is indeed me in my purple and yellow mountain goat, Klahanie. :)
Was super surprised to see myself, @zarafa.bsky.social & @omglenn2k.bsky.social on HBO’s The Man Will Burn (episode 2) Those clips were filmed at the unofficial renegade event in Sep 2021. Series is still airing, but it’s definitely worth a watch if you were curious about the history of the event!
Woo hoo! The #PurplePic from @anthrocon.org/ #AC2026 is here! Big thanks to all the purples for braving the heat! And big thanks to @exkhaniber.bsky.social for being our photographer once again! So. Much. PURPLE! :)
Another in a series of unusual fursonas: meet Malarkey the aardvark! (malarkey_aardvark on Furtrack) #FursuitFriday
Bye Philly! I had a great time traipsing around the northeast, from AC in Pittsburgh to Cedar Point in Ohio (actually Midwest) and then up to New England. Heading back to SF Bay today. My carry on has a Lee’s Hoagie and two soft pretzels. I am ready. :)
Seen on a SEPTA (transit) train. This is so Philadelphia. :)
It’s still Friday! So for #FursuitFriday, a colorful duo (and also lots of purple!): me and Mimlo (@NikkiScribbles.bsky.social ) 📷: nikkitheduck
Mission accomplished: Cheesesteak acquired. Tried the newfangled (to me) Cooper Sharp cheese. Verdict: it may tie with cheez whiz! :)
Heading into the ol’ hometown, Philly, on a rainy day. Just had a soft pretzel, and now a snack from Reading Terminal Market: cinnamon bun from the Pennsylvania Dutch place. Cheesesteak will be the choice for dinner. Life is good. :)
Just one of the several amazing furries I got to hang out with the last night of the con! @zarafa.bsky.social #Anthrocon2026
Whew! #AC2026/ @anthrocon.org is in the books! Despite all the heat, it was still an amazing con. And still one of my favorites! It’s so amazing to see how much Pittsburghers love having us in their city! Big thanks to all the staff & volunteers who worked so hard so we could party hard!
Hey Bay Area furs! The Berkeley furmeet is TOMORROW, at LaVal’s Pizza on Euclid! Come join us at 7pm for some low key socializing with your fellow furs! AND there’s good pizza! :)
Sure it’s been beastly hot. And yes, the Parade and Block Party got cancelled. But there is no other North American city where you’d see this. :) @anthrocon.org / #AC2926
Hey Purple Furs at @anthrocon.org 2026! The parade is canceled due to the heat, but we will STILL have the #PurplePic TOMORROW, 7/4/26. We will meet indoors in the West Lobby just outside of Hall D, at 3:30pm!
Uh oh! Here comes trouble! :) Me and @rathtolar.bsky.social. :) #FursuitFriday 📷: @flittingphotos.bsky.social
Hey Purple Furs at @anthrocon 2026! The #PurplePic is this SAT, 7/4, immediately AFTER the parade! If you’re IN the parade, look for me, the purple giraffe, in Hall D, where the parade ends. If you are NOT in the parade, meet us in the West Lobby OUTSIDE Hall D. Est time 3:30pm!
Presenting the #PurplePic from Pride in SF! Such a huge turnout for the furry contingent in the parade! I’m guessing there were around 250 of us! Big thanks to @zoren.bsky.social and @relayraccoon.bsky.social for organizing the parade and afterparty! 📷: @tailsofastoat.bsky.social
And so, once again,from all across the land, the great migration to @anthrocon.org /#AC2026 begins. Heading to Philly today to visit with my mom, heading to Pgh on Wed. AC is one of my all time favorite cons! The way the people of Pittsburgh welcome us home is wonderful, & hard to describe. :)
Hard to be lighthearted today in light of the news coming out of Venezuela. I was here for the ‘89 Loma Prieta quake in SF, and the news is bringing all that back to me, not in a good way. My heart goes out to the people of Venezuela. #FursuitFriday 📷: @ArtemisDergon
Hey everybody! Today is World Giraffe Day! The longest day (or longest night) of the year is a good day to celebrate the tallest land mammal! Giraffe numbers in the wild are decreasing, & today’s the day to raise awareness of these gentle, curious creatures! (not that I’m biased!)
