Here’s another rural AK school need for #IGiveARod, #UglyDogs! I went to college in Fairbanks with kids from two families for whom the closest “big” village was Kotzebue—they are very remote! I tasted bear meat thanks to them—not a fan! I’ll stick with salmon! Can we help this classroom tonight?

#UglyDogs only $199 left on this! Can we close it out before my 9 pm Eastern bedtime?

Another personal fav. Get $50 off this weekend. I can also mat & frame the *original* 4x5 Polaroids in 8x10 frames for $255.

Here’s a good rural AK Donors Choose project—they just need a color printer! #UglyDogs can we help them out? #IGiveARod

Hey, #UglyDogs! I wanted to give the #IGiveARod a little boost, so I'm raffling off a small dog painting to anyone who has donated at least $5 US to one of the #DonorsChoose campaigns on the list. 1/3 #watercolor #art

Get this set framed & I’ll take $50 off - good through this weekend!

Bringing back this special - through this weekend!

Get this set framed & I’ll take $30 off - through this weekend!

The couple of square studies I have on the soft, linen-like paper (that I’m almost out of) & the Polaroid color studies have been added to the store! Happy to frame any of them.

Booster post! #IGiveARod

#UglyDogs while we donating to #IGiveARod let’s not forget our own who need help. Some have GFMs, some are looking for sales. Sol’s work is great for gifting. If you don’t have the budget and just want to throw a little her way, DM me for her PayPal.

Hey #UglyDogs here’s another #IGiveARod school we could easily help with basic sports equipment! ❤️

Working on layers & layers of a WA coastline project & want the colors just right. Haven’t been able to visit my birthland since 2011, so it feels distant. Thank you to expired Polaroids for helping me in this process (I am in love w/ these sets).

Almost 2 weeks now. No income for 2 weeks outside of small, local jobs I pick up (bar shifts, trivia hosting, horse care & stall cleaning etc). Bills are stacking up & groceries are needed. Good on pet food in big part thanks to the incredible community here! New work in the store & in the feed!

No sales in over a week has put me in a bad spot w/ the beginning of the month bills. Check out this special below!

Y’all are amazing, as usual! Only need 6 more donors. 🥹 #uglydogs

If 14 people give $25 (actually slightly less) we can get these kids fed. Only 3 days left to fund it. #uglydogs www.donorschoose.org/project/chil...

It's #igivearod season, and I just donated to this project which only has 3 days left!! #UglyDogs www.donorschoose.org/project/chil...

My troop has 10 days left to sell, and over 300 boxes in our inventory. If you would like to help us out and don’t need cookies, our troop is taking donated cookies to our local food bank. You can use the link below to choose and pay. Use girl delivery and send me a DM that you want it donated!

#igivearod #UglyDogs. I just made sure that no organization has a zero on the spreadsheet. Thank you to those who make spreadsheet magic, and to those who give of themselves in all ways. It's an honor to do this with all of you. igivearod.com

Another project to give healthy snacks to rural AK school kids? We can fund this, #UglyDogs! #IGiveARod

Now that we are warmed up, how about another Donors Choose project for rural AK schools? #UglyDogs

Day 3 of the Iditarod (well almost to day 3) also brings Day 3 of the Igivearod. Pick a charity and make a donation if you can, but retweets to spread the word are great too! #igivearod docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

Hey #UglyDogs can we finish up this request for healthy snacks for a village school? #IGiveARod

This all sounds good, but my 4 24-31 year old kids are already so cynical they think nothing can change. Trump has been a fixture of their adult lives and they have no idealism left. I don’t know how we break through apathy from older people and cynicism from younger ones.

If you’re interested in #MusherSky, an #UglyDog or just someone who cares about supporting education in rural #Alaska, please consider donating during #Igiverod if you can www.donorschoose.org/igivearod26?...

With the start of the Iditarod, we also have the official start of the Igivearod. The link to the spreadsheet is below and you'll find a list of very worth charities to contribute to. Please help if you can and spread the word too. #igivearod2026 docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

#UglyDogs make sure you follow @esp1371.bsky.social She has excellent race threads!

It is ok to vibedraft your Iditarod fantasy team. Just do it soon. (And join pack Karens Ugly Dogs if you like.) fantasymushing.com

Why is there all this fur in the servers? ‪ Mapping servers spinning. Trackers bribed, bots greased. This is the Iditarod 2026: Yes, this thing is big. That is either the curve of the globe or the rim of the world. Whatever you believe these days. 😬 #UglyDogs #MusherSky #Iditarod54

Next order over $100 will receive this gift set! Includes an original painting, two prints, a sticker & a magnet.

Special! Last print I have from this scanned negative taken w/ exp. Polaroid Type 665. Overlooking the incredible Beartooth mountains. www.sol-exposure.com/product/bear...

It's #Iditarod time! Ok, #UglyDogs, I've got something fun for you. I have about 40 boxes of these vintage Iditarod trading card sets. If you want one or a few, email me at [email protected] and I'll send them your way.

This brings up a great point! igivearod isn't limited to financial donations. It's about community and finding some joy, while hopefully learning a little about some overlooked topics and people along the way. There are many ways to contribute to #igivearod, and being a happy voice always counts

BREAKING on @mprnews.org right now: U.S. Sen. Klobuchar confirms the number of immigration agents in Minnesota is "close to" the original footprint of 150 agents, per call from 'border czar' Tom Homan -- that is contradicting Sec. Noem's claim in front of congress that the number is currently 650.

It is 2026 and we are not fucking doing this anymore. EIGHT WOMEN came forward and told stories of Franken GROPING AND FORCIBLY KISSING THEM. The man was a sexual abuser. He did not and does not belong in congress. Fucking period. End of conversation.

Can confirm, every Signal chat in town either said nothing or made one snide comment and then immediately got back to work

I just donated. Can we up this one a bit b4 #igivearod starts? #uglydogs
