I NEED HELP! Please take this quick, meaningless 19 question survey so I can get data for my students to learn stats! I did a similar version a few months ago but missed an important question type. Even if you did the old one, please do it again! Please circulate widely!

Don't mind me. Just getting misty eyed at this photo of Kieran from his first couple months with me. He was still so anxious. But he felt safe with me & with his toys. And now look at him fully at ease. 🥹 #UglyDogs

Real Feel temp today is 38 (it was 72 yesterday). So y'all know what that means: I want to stay in a dark room to treat my migraine. Kieran wants to feel the sun on his back but the cold ground under his belly. 🙄

Okay, this needs a reboot. Damn, that is one lovely garment! Would look brilliant in waxed canvas.

Fix your hearts or die.

The cowbird was being an asshole at the bird feeder today, but the new settings on my trail cam gave me this image so I can't complain

Translation: "The Bluesky servers are delicious! I need second breakfast!"

i simply find it a little hard to believe that shortly after every website implemented ai code and fired a bunch of engineers they all started breaking constantly every single day but its not related to the ai code or the skeleton crew

Testing testing

Fun bit of accidental dog training this spring: when Kieran hears my weather radio alert sound, he gets up & looks at me to see if we have to go to our tornado safe zone in the house. It's definitely his same Are We Going? look. Love this for us. 🙃

Anxious people, check your Xanax. share.google/29WwLkigSdlt...

Trying to explain St Augustine to the pope, the former head of the Augustinian order, who wrote his doctoral thesis on Augustine, on his way back from celebrating mass at the Basilica of St Augustine in Annaba, Algeria, overlooking the site where Augustine lived is peak Adult Catholic Convert.

We have a winner! Fresh mulch on a blue tarp is very very sus & we had to cross to the other side of the street! #UglyDogs JC gets a Kieran kiss as a prize!

Get ready for the Kieran edition of Guess What's Sus! #UglyDogs @muppybean.bsky.social

Tulip bulbs. Just replace "AI" with "tulip bulbs" and that will tell you where we are.

I'm genuinely concerned with how many storms just go severe so quickly (& in April). We don't really have those gentle spring thunderstorms anymore. It's either flooding levels of rain or winds over 70 mph/tornadoes that cause heavy damages & long power outages. Summer will be brutal.

We're really gonna need the Pope to get tough on crime

Noooo. Baby Celtic pagans in the 80s & 90s like me are 💔 www.theguardian.com/music/2026/a...

Nasty looking supercell with strong rotation and a potential tornado coming into Ottawa #Kansas imminently. Take shelter immediately if in the path #kswx #tornado #wxbluesky

You know I knew that Door Dash woman looked familiar

I just came across this again so sharing in case anyone needs a good back unfuck right now (thanks @ravenmae.bsky.social for the thread!)

Happy botox day to me. I'm super POTSie today so I'm very glad I remembered to bring my cane by @bibiblossoms.bsky.social

There's a new receptionist at my neuro office. She was struggling with some admin tasks on the computer, but when a Spanish speaking patient came in, she was the one who spoke fluently with them. Worth her weight in gold 💜

#uglydogs I love it when my interests collide. From Malamute Planet over on FB.

> the emperor is at war with the pope what century is it

She can literally say she loves her dog to the moon and back 🥹

Hey #UglyDogs, y’all gonna love this 💞

The point of the university as a concept is that it's been here for a thousand years and meant to be here another thousand. Turning education over to producing what the market needed five years ago is never going to work well.

Hey Seattle & Tacoma folks, you have not one, not two, but THREE opportunities to hear me with the Mägi Ensemble next weekend! Friday 4/17, Plymouth UCC, Seattle, 7pm Saturday 5/18, First Lutheran Church, Tacoma, 1pm Sunday 5/19, Ballard First Lutheran, Seattle, 2pm Ticket links in replies!

The pope is weak on crime, weak on nuclear weapons is a sentiment that's frying my brain. 😵‍💫 (Sorry for the trump post. I'm intentionally using Trump here so no one will see this if they have his name muted)

I don't claim to know what this election means for Hungary in the long-term, but for now? I've got this song stuck in my head. GTFO, Orban! youtu.be/VwcKwGS7OSQ?...

Which one is Mazikeen & which is Alec, @jordansbrock.bsky.social & @leavesdancing.bsky.social?

This week on the Butser blog, we've written all about the origins of the wickerman, Maypole, bannock bread, butter churns & other ancient rituals to explore this Beltain season. Read more here: www.butserancientfarm.co.uk/blog/2026/4/...

“As of March 2025, victims from 66 countries were trafficked into online scam centres, with no continent left untouched.” Again: when you donate to shady accounts online, that money very well could actually be going to fuel slavery. I do not believe it’s worth the risk.

Trump: Vanilla, how do you think I should handle Iran? Vanilla Ice: Stop. Trump: I can’t. I need to save face. How should I handle negotiations? Vanilla Ice: Collaborate and listen.

You learned to eyeball your measurements because you trust your intuition. I learned to eyeball my measurements so I don't have to wash the measuring cup. We are not the same.

I haven’t posted the wishlist in a while, but there’s lots of stuff for the boys there. A little for the kitties. A little for me. www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/...

Every time a man gets outed as a sexual predator, in come the bots claiming to be women SA survivors who would never publicly judge a man for this. Every. Fucking. Time.

Here's a little substack for ya'll. I'd be honored if you join me. #uglydogs open.substack.com/pub/quincemo...

a poem about going

I'm always amused by online retail emails that say "we saw you looking at this & wow, you've got great taste" but it's just a roll of window screen repair patches or a can of Lysol.

Ykw? Goals 🤣

Only an hour and 15 minutes between these two scenes. I fucking LOVE space travel man it's so fucking cool

Can someone explain the logic to me? 4 people spent 9 days in 0 gravity in a minivan space capsule, then dropped 400,000 feet in 14 minutes to splash down. So their first steps on our home planet are going to be on an inflatable raft in the ocean?

Hello, I made you a feed of your cats watching the Artemis II splashdown bsky.app/profile/did:...

Okay but what if the astronauts just don't want to answer their phones now that they're back to earth bullshit? Have we considered that hypothesis for the comms?

That whole thing was cool af. The entire Artemis mission has been cool af. Abolish ICE and give the money to NASA
