I would love *so* much if these beautiful, large prints were picked up! Save room in my tiny studio, plus they are too lovely to be packed away. Normally almost $500 w/ shipping, these are $300 w/ US shipping included. Need more space!!

I’m originally from Des Moines. You are correct

They are already marching in Des Moines and Iowa City, Cedar Rapids and Davenport organizers are in my FB messages.

Grab this set framed & I’ll take $50 off! (The first two look amazing next to each other.)

Expanded my close read of today's Trump Terror Memo, with help from @audiosand.bsky.social & and unnamed federal-adjacent employee. slowcivilwar.substack.com/p/rubber-glu...

#UglyDogs small update from BraverMountain

Restock! Print from a large format Polaroid (Type 59) taken w/ the very cool Santa Barbara Pinhole camera down in southern AZ, around an area I lived in when I was a kid. www.sol-exposure.com/product/hwy-...

Slow civil war is just that, slow; and then fascism burps, and it jolts ahead. Read the whole terror memo. Read about Comey. Consider the generals. Read this passage. Note what’s now called “terror.” And what “funding” it means. I want to say this is in-the-street news, but I think it may be worse.

#UglyDogs any emergency advice?

Down to needing to sell 12 framed pieces (or the equivalent) to have all of rent! <3

@skeetstats.xyz !optin

Today is the start of rent making week after a very, very slow month of sales. I need to sell at least 14 framed pieces (or the equivalent) to have all of rent. Lots of fun things I’m including w/ orders, inc. original work!

#UglyDogs Jeff King has some ideas I hope the Iditarod people consider, worth a read! h/t @akchick.bsky.social

#UglyDogs we have at least two of us going through chemotherapy now, and for Kathy it’s on top of many months caring for her husband and him still recovering. Please help if you can.❤️

#UglyDogs Aleya comes home Saturday better trained than ever! Jordan needs $400 some more to fully cover the cost, if you’re still in a donating mode. She and Callan shouldn’t have to worry about this bill in the midst of chemo.

Very badly need new brakes (all, pads & rotors) to get back safely on the road. Also, groceries would be amazing! Next order over $100 will get this gift set, inc. an original “fox constellation” painting, two prints & a sticker. New work in the store this weekend!

Hey y'all, if anyone can help Kat in her cancer recovery & her husband in his surgery recovery, please chip in what you can &/or RT 💜 Colon cancer is beatable! We can help her do this! #UglyDogs gofund.me/7eb98cdb3

Last day to take advantage of the **Buy 2 prints, pick out a 3rd on me** special! This goes for framed pieces as well! That’s a $60-$120 savings. Perfect for picking up a gift for a loved one (& one or two for yourself). Art for you, brakes & a much safer ride for me & the many deer out there.

#uglydogs In cold weather (below zero) what make and model of doggy booties should i consider? I have a flerfy husky

We applied for an ambassadogship with one of Jasper's favorite toy and snacc brands, so I need to get his followers and engagement up! Please give my pup a follow if you have ig and appreciate my work on the Dogs of Bluesky feed? instagram.com/chalcedonydog

#UglyDogs now and until 9/30 is when you need to call your Dem or Ind Senators about the budget bill. Scripts down thread. 5calls.org will have your reps and numbers if you need them, but use this script relating to specific anti-trans provisions the House is trying to insert. It’s worth a shutdown!

Hi #UglyDogs! Andrew is one of us, though he only lurks on our posts. I met him in the early days of Bluesky and got him on my Christmas card list a few years ago. He’s legit and needs a hand. He’s had some bad luck and doesn’t make enough to have the ability to save for these things. I vouch.❤️

Please, y'all. We NEED to do this. We need to. I am terrified of the phone and it takes all my spoons, but I WILL call. I WILL email. I WILL even send a letter with an actual stamp. September 30 is the deadline. Please. We can't let trans people down. Please.

At this point, unless Senate Democrats change their mind and support the House-passed "clean" CR, it seems very likely we are headed into a shutdown. 🔥📞🔥 Maintain pressure on your Senators to oppose the House's blank check CR! 👉 5calls.org/issue/federa...

It's Friday. What if we do a show and tell day? Doesn't have to be extravagant or expensive. Can be something you cherish or a story. Can be just a normal thing in your house that you occasionally notice. Whatever. Just #SpreadLove and show us.

It’s 6pm on the East Coast, so you’ll go straight to voicemail! It took me 6 minutes, start to finish, to call both of my senators and read this message. This is the bare minimum you can do to be an ally for trans folks in the US. Go go go!

Congrats to our online winner 🥇 Pisco. Now I need your help selecting our in-store best dressed darling. Is it Violet, Lady, or Saoirse? Vote in the comments. We’ll tally it up Friday morning. Thanks!

#UglyDogs Signal boost, please

Last call! I like to believe this lone horse in northern AZ was more unicorn than horse. Special price today for $120 w/ free US shipping. www.sol-exposure.com/product/flag...

If anyone is interested in supporting the kennel while we get Queso and her other shy friend in good standing, we still have our clothing fundraiser live! All proceeds currently are going towards their care! criss-cross-racing.myspreadshop.ca

The emergence of Roland Zbigniew, Keeper of Lost Petals:

Trying hard to save up for new brakes & some groceries! The boys really need treats, too (I have updated the Amazon wishlist). Next order over $100 gets the first gift set, w/ the bison painting. Will be making sets w/ the fox constellation & elephant paintings! New work in the store!

#UglyDogs anyone who has the ability please consider helping Johnathan Perkins. He has 37 clients who have been kidnapped by ICE and he is providing counsel. He had to shut down his social media due to death threats. Let’s help him to help others 🙏🏻 Venmo: @JohnathanPerk CashApp: $JohnathanPerk

I’ve been full targeted by fascist trolls twice. 1st, local PD started doing drive-bys, cuz *they* were freaked out by the threats. 2nd, Jesus the 2nd, as I sat by my dad’s deathbed fascists posted my kids’ name & school & described in detail how they planned to murder them. Fucking “party of life.”

OK. Drum roll please! We finally have some merch. Its only taken 6 years. 🤗 We are starting small - a hoodie, t-shirt and toque! We’ll see how it goes and can expand once we test the water! Check out our merch page: canadianchallenge.com/merchandise/ #UglyDogs #Uglydogs

From the archives: I have *one* 16x16 print from this dreamy Time Zero Polaroid shot on the Beartooth Highway. Only 2 were made. Get it matted & framed *& shipped (in the US)* for $300. (18x18 custom made black wood frame, white matting.)

Last reminder I’ll post, but #UglyDogs if you can send BraverMountain a reminder of how loved and supported they are, this is the week to mail it. Postcard, card, letter, post-it note—we just want them to feel the love. Address two posts down in quote thread. Include your bsky handle.

#UglyDogs I’ve got numbers and video! So far we’re at $1459.60 in donations. Board and train/boarding through the 27th (which gives me a week to recover from my first chemo) is $1900. And Aleya has zooms!
