A friend of the family found this in the Little Free Library by her house and grabbed it for me. #Iditarod #UglyDogs

I’m mostly asleep but the sweetest and wildest thought just came to me. When this community, one day, dies out (it will, they all do), I hope our gravestone says “Awooooo means love” #UglyDogs

Raven is a beloved member of the #UglyDogs community and a lovely soul. Please help if you can. 💜

A little clip from a recent keynote I gave, featuring Refried 🎶

Sabin would like to report the heinous crime of being bathed at the pet store. But also, he would like to know if you like his new bowtie? #UglyDogs

Good morning friends! Today is Word Down Syndrome Day. People with Down Syndrome live happy and fulfilling lives when given the chance. Rock your favorite mismatched socks today like me, and show your commitment to including people with Down Syndrome. #LotsOfSocks #WorldDownSyndromeDay

I’m CRYING watching Matt Hall’s video from the finish. He is getting ready to leave the finish area , and main lead dog Dyea had a little business to attend to much to fellow lead Quivit’s dismay. 😂#WhenYaGottaGo #MusherSky #UglyDogs #Iditarod

This campaign only has $254 to go! C'mon, #UglyDogs! #Igivearod

Hi, friends! I'd like to encourage everyone to try and make viewing posts on our corner of Bluesky as inclusive as possible. Some people use screen readers, so adding "alt text" descriptions of pictures and videos you share makes them more accessible. Example on the pic below. #UglyDogs

Alright, folks! We have a next up to the plate DonorsChoose campaign to fund. I think we all agree that a calming corner is often necessary. Let's get it done! #UglyDogs #Igivearod www.donorschoose.org/project/a-ca...

An idea inspired by @antigrinch.bsky.social, let's have a fun Braverdogs thread this morning. Share your favorite pics of @blairbraverman.bsky.social and @quincemountain.bsky.social's frens, past and present. I'll start because this photo of Hari always makes me smile. #UglyDogs

Less than $300 to go on this one, folks. Let's get it done! #UglyDogs #Igivearod

Okay, friends, now I want to put my angry energy towards something good. Let's fund all of the remaining DonorsChoose campaigns for #Igivearod. Since none have very near deadlines, I'm going to go down the list and share each one. First up! #UglyDogs www.donorschoose.org/project/brin...

So proud and heartbroken for these teams (mushers and dogs) I will probably never meet, but love with all my heart. Good run, Pepé. You run the world.

Alright folks! We're moving on to our second project that needs to be funded today! Please donate/boost if you can! #UglyDogs #Igivearod #MusherSky www.donorschoose.org/project/read...

Let's get this over the finish line! #UglyDogs #Igivearod

Good morning, friends! There are a couple of DonorsChoose campaigns that need to get funded today, and I know we can do it! First up, this one! #Igivearod #UglyDogs #MusherSky #Qditarod2025 www.donorschoose.org/project/the-...

Imagine if the media pointed out there was already a Government Accountability Office whose job it is to go after actual waste and fraud, not just things Elon doesn’t like, and found $70 Billion in savings last year and $2 Trillion in waste since 2003. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Governm...

How the Hell are, like, five techno bros going from federal building to federal building with OPM credentials and being allowed into computer systems and then locking the doors? Like, someone, anyone: just punch them or something. Pants them. They’re 20! Card them! Make them tie a tie! Something!

I'm sorry, but "they took over the whole federal payments system, fired the career staff, and won't let anybody see what they're doing" is not a situation in which you wait for more information. It's a situation in which you assume the worst. There's no explanation for it other than rampant crimes.

NEW: Archived tweets for Gavin Kriger, Musk's 20-something DOGE employee wreaking havoc inside USAID, shows that Kriger has retweeted multiple neo-Nazis including Nick Fuentes, leader of the so-called Groyper movement, and another popular explicit Nazi account recently unmasked by @travisbrown.dev

I’m old enough to remember when we had 3 branches of government. Forget checks and balances. I guess we are a Muskocracy now.

This lovely Chris Weyant cartoon is featured in our Trump/Greenland cartoon from the new video Caglecast at: youtu.be/DWHt9lsqdSs which was BANNED ON SPOTIFY!

#UglyDogs we can do this too, national media is not reporting any of this. @jeffsharlet.bsky.social ‘s feed is full of examples.

Here is truly the least we can all do: commit to reposting all news of protest and struggle you see. There's a lot going on--LA, San Diego, St. Louis, *Grand Rapids,* Michigan. But the press has been broken. It's not ideal. But we must be the news.

My creative nonfiction students and I talked about Trump's "Patriotic Education" executive order today, erasing so much history, compelling teachers to tell lies. I felt my throat catch. I saw some students' eyes get red. Here's what's at stake: slowcivilwar.substack.com/p/patriotic-...

In 2014 Dutch scientists left a hamster wheel outside, to see if wild animals would use it like their domesticated counterparts. The answer: hell yes! 734 visits from wild mice - plus rats, shrews, slugs ("running" being subjective here) & even frogs and snails. The apparent reason: fun. Just fun.

Erin does a great job of summarizing the terroristic attack on the rights of trans people represented by this EO. But it also includes horrifying rules for the teaching of US history that relates to nonwhite persons, as well as wildly fascist “patriotic education” edicts. Lowlights, a thread:
