I just donated to the @igivearod.bsky.social campaign in loving memory of Hari Bravermountain #UglyDogs Awooo in his honor

#UglyDogs Look at all the river puppies I saw today at Blue Springs State Park. Estimates place the number at around 900! Lots of babies too.

FYI: Dems in the senate can't defund ICE. ICE is funded by the Big Ugly Bill. Shutting down DHS on this vote wouldn't touch ICE, but it would shut down FEMA, TSA, Coast Guard, etc. Shutting down ICE requires taking back Congress in the midterms. Dismantling DHS requires the White House in 2028.

😍

Long shot but is anyone available specifically January 2nd-4th to drive a uhaul to help me move my kennel from Maine to Wisconsin? The person I thought I had lined up had to back out due to an unexpected loss this past week which is totally understandable.

We hit our initial goal of $25k to lock in 10 of these clinics for communities that need us most and now our final push is for $100k. Each one costs at a minimum $2,500 in supplies and medical resources. They directly impact hundreds. Donate below ❤️‍🩹 www.15outof10.org/donations/2026-clinic-fund/

@esp1371.bsky.social Thanks for posting the article. I wish the category for “drugs” was more descriptive. Pot vs fentanyl is important to distinguish between IMO

HALL OF FAME UPDATE This is for our awesome #Uglydogs community of race donors. We've had some incredibly generous donations, and I'd love to add you to the Hall of Fame. I've been sending personal 'thank you' emails asking for a photo/message ...think the emails may be going into SPAM...

I made a small donation to @ccsleddograce.bsky.social and received a lovely personal email of thanks. The CC team have always made fans feel so welcome. #UglyDogs

Word from Momb: I think people should keep in mind that even the reddest states are around 40% blue. So even if you think some people are getting what they voted for there are a LOT of impacted people who did, in fact, not vote for it. Maybe don't be an asshole.

Raven does SO much for others and brings such light and kindness to the world. Right now, she needs help. ❤️

"...so like i said a tariff is clearly a tax and in this case it is not even a reciprocal tariff he is just a complete dipshit tbh"

#UglyDogs @mac-b5.stickimporters.com @elkers.bsky.social can you really teach a dog to use the language mat? I mean literally you guys, not some like me 😂

#UglyDogs @mac-b5.stickimporters.com does anyone have any info on how Q handled logistics for his epic adventure? I was wondering about the provisioning requirements on his trip?

They made it to the start line. They made it through the finish line. With dignity, humility, grace and integrity. What an inspirational team of friends who travelled a trail and overcame - together. In their own way. Legends made. The story will be retold. The Spirit of the North is alive.

What a special story of an amazing dog team and a courageous musher. A triumph over adversity. Told with dignity and enormous respect. Q and team - legends. We 💕 you. #uglydogs youtu.be/PeCELG4aDuw

They fucking did it. They mushed to Nome.

@igivearod.bsky.social please mark me down for another $100 to the ARKVO! awooooo

A pattern I'm noticing on Bluesky today: people talking about the importance of a specific branch of science or data or research, but only identifying it by acronym. People who aren't familiar enough with your field to understand why it's important aren't going to understand your acronyms!

#UglyDogs I wanted to publicly thank the volunteer @igivearod.bsky.social organizers. They put a tremendous amount of time and effort into our “little” 😉 fundraising and morale boosting campaign. A big awwooo to you all! #igivearod

#UglyDogs if anyone is in contact with Quince or Blair, I know we can help fund their trip home.

#UglyDogs I remember after Bler’s run, one of the UglyDogs (I think it was Raven?) put together a really good list of suggestions on how to increase engagement and bring in new fans but got crickets back from organizing committee. One suggestion was to have more stories from the back of the pack 🤯

#uglydogs Just in case anyone might want to, I dunno, give some feedback on the rookie withdrawals…

I know the usual statement from them is they don't have enough people to be everywhere at once if there's like 300 miles between leader & lantern. But their lack of personnel should not be the mushers' fault when the mushers have qualified & paid their fees to be there.

#UglyDogs maybe this race should be invitational format? What is the point of letting mushers qualify but not letting them finish if they are doing well. Everyone can’t be at the top. I’m done!

The very first Sled Dog of the Day here on Bluesky is... Pepé! At nearly 12 years old, she continues to lead her team and came out of retirement to help musher Quince Mountain on this year's Iditarod journey. She made it to Nome with Blair in 2019! Go Pepé & Quince! #uglydogs #iditarod

The #Igivearod elves have gone back and forth on reaching out to teachers/schools before the race, but there's no guarantee that their projects will get funded, and we don't want to let anyone down.

#UglyDogs has anyone received their order yet from Spring? Mine has been “in production” since Feb 24

#UglyDogs I am not on Insider this year so am unsure of Q’s location. I think he has left Eagle?

@tonichelle.bsky.social Do you think a back and forth run is easier for teams or does it not make a difference? #UglyDogs

I'm going to add one. Supporting Israel's existence does not mean supporting Bibi's government, all of the actions in Gaza or the West Bank, or being anti-Palestinian. Most importantly at this moment, it does NOT equate to supporting the violation of anyone's first amendment or due process rights.

@igivearod.bsky.social I am having trouble with google docs. Can you please add a $100 donation to ARVO?

Wow! The Starship detonation was visible over central Florida. Spectacular sight.

Because I, Leap, am the VERY FIRST BRAVERMOUNTAIN DOG to star in a children's book!!!

Folks, if you know someone in Cobb with an absentee ballot, please remind them to either go vote in person at their designated polling place OR return that ballot in person to a drop box TOMORROW before close of voting.

@mac-b5.stickimporters.com I wanted to let you know we had a fantastic time in Germany and you were correct that the alcohol free beer was wonderful

Bluesky now has over 10 million users, and I was #568,678!

Ron DeSantis has fired the whistleblower who exposed the plan to turn thousands of acres of state parks into hotels and golf coursees

@mac-b5.stickimporters.com greetings! Other than cured meats, is there a lot of garlic in traditional German food? Google was not overly helpful. Getting so exciting for our trip…

@mac-b5.stickimporters.com @elkers.bsky.social Do you guys have advice for a juvenile dog that paws for attention? Humans have tried redirecting but with limited success. Ignoring leads to more pawing

I love you all very much and your pictures are very cool but you gotta be using alt text for folks with low or no vision etc

Consider donating your eclipse glasses to Eclipse Glasses USA so schoolchildren in South America can use them in October. eclipse23.com/pages/donate...

@mac-b5.stickimporters.com Howdy! Is there decent non alcoholic beer in Germany and is Apple pay in common use? Asking for a friend 😌

Just $200 away from $18,000 raised for Alaskan charities and schools!! The Red Lantern has just arrived in Elim, so there is probably only a day left in the race. Let's get this past $20,000 before the Red Lantern arrives in White Mountain!

Calling all the #UglyDogs! The Iditarod has started and so has the Igivearod.com. I just made my donation and hope you can too. Remember there are non monetary ways to contribute as well. Awwwrrrrooo 🐩🛷

Paging #UglyDogs crew

@mac-b5.stickimporters.com Dear Mac - would you ask Lumi if she would favor me with a German birthday stick?
