#uglydogs Are any of you hiring a bioinformatics pro, or know of remote opportunities for one? A dear friend of mine got laid off and I’ve said, “I am tapped into a wildly helpful community of dog people, let’s see if that helps.”
My people! Do you need a translator for the reasons?
The irony as I'm sitting in a voluntold AI training that's supposed to give us back "our time"
Oh my gosh. I'm so so so excited and awed by this. And Pepe! The queen! 😭
Look at what you did!
The #uglydogs are a beacon of light and love and absolute unhinged chaos in this absurd world. The @igivearod.bsky.social is an amazing event to support people and dogs in rural Alaska. Go donate and soak up the feeling of doing good in this world.
Well folks, An anonymous donor wants to see the Igivearod go over $100,000 and is will to donate the last $10,000 if we can get to $90,000 in the next 12 hours. We are currently at $79,000 so that's $11,000 for us in the next 12 hours! LET'S FRIGGIN' GO!! WE CAN DO THIS!

Mac's a mensch and he knows that I can't resist a good opportunity to match something. So, here it is, I will match whatever Mac ends up doing (this way he does the math) but I will split it between the ReRun GFM and the Igivarod. So both funds win a little. Ready, Set, Go! #mushersky #uglydogs
My new motto:
Pepé never quit.
#uglydogs
🧵 And Pepe does run the world. It's a fact.
We’ve just exceeded an amazing $46,000 in donations, including 72 funded projects for 39 schools and nearly $7,000 for other Alaska organizations including housing and support for LGBTQ+ people, medical care for animals, funding for arts programs, and funding for shelters. #igivearod #mushersky
I don't post much about some of my passions because well, life. But I'm so damn proud of Q and Pepe and the whole team. What a run. #UglyDogs
It's 0530 in Kansas and @quincemountain.bsky.social and team Bravermountain have exactly 500miles to go.
To celebrate I donated to this @igivearod.bsky.social donors choose, because kids learning to cook is a blast. It's one of the bigger asks but surely we can finish it off, right?

funniest highlights of the philly police scanner, a thread
Has congress passed a law superseding or eliminating the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961?
Has the Supreme Court declared it unconstitutional?
Then why are journalists reporting that Trump and Musk are "shutting down" USAID. They are not authorized to do so.
Merry Christmas Illini Nation!
The refs have officially lost control of #braggingrights. Not a fun game to watch at all.
We raise cattle so sometimes business takes us there. Not in the next 6 months though!
Reason number 100 why I won't be traveling to Texas during this pregnancy.
An interesting discussion about farm inheritance tax issues on the other side of the pond. As ground/machinery values rise, this becomes increasingly important, even for "small farmers"
And that time shall not be spoken of.
Right!? Had the brief Geronimo Allison time as well but it's really annoying to see Illini playing for division rivals.
Good weekend. Illini win, Packers win, all is right in the sports fandom.
Red and white hereford cow with two baby calves nursing.
Gotta love a cow that is successfully raising twins!
Let's see, Mom of a crazy toddler, farming, cattle/livestock, ag policy - esp. farmer safety and mental health, U of Illinois sports, politics, also, I like posting pics of cute baby calves.
I like finding interesting people doing interesting things.
Just ugly basketball tonight. Get it out before the bama game I guess.
I'd like it if they could start on the "pull away" part of the plan.
Blair Braverman, wearing bib 11, raises her arms in triumph has her team of 8 dogs wearing red dog jackets an black booties trots into the finishing chute in the 2019 Iditarod.
Five years ago, Blair Braverman (along with Pepé, Wickson, Helli, Flame, Spike, Wilbur, Boo, and Ebony) trotted into Nome. Along the way, over $120,000 was raised for local schools (the start of the Igivearod). It was a very good day for #UglyDogs everywhere. Photo from @firstelder on Twitter
