The Science desk is all the emotions today. I love it.

As a fellow scientist, I can't say enough how much I LOVE every clip/quote/eager question from the Science room. We are the same. What a career day for all of these folks! Sending you all the biggest cheers in your epic career day. #NASA #ArtemisII

If you are able to help, please consider assisting PAWS of Nome.

#UglyDogs this is a reminder to all of us. Trackers are fickle and not always accurate. Try not to panic, but if you do head over to igivearod.com as there are matches being made until the Red Lantern crosses the line. #IGiveARod #Iditarod54 #Mushersky

Plaid if this is with the administration. It's more professional.

Post a gif of who you wanted to be as a kid

Yes, the pictures are so wonderful and very much capture some personalities. :)

A lot of good going on today in the @igivearod.bsky.social world. If you are able to give, a number of folks are matching donations today to amplify the impact. Find more information about wonderful organizations to support here: igivearod.com

Thank you all! Just donated and added it to the spreadsheet. :)

This is so beautiful. Thank you @blairbraverman.bsky.social for sharing stories of your pack for all of these years and especially for sharing such a personal experience of letting go. Change brings grief and grief brings change. Much love. ❤️

Current #Iditarod54 leader Jessie Holmes is out of White Mountain and incoming to Nome this evening! Just a reminder that #igivearod runs until the red lantern (the final musher) arrives safely into Nome. Let’s go Jessie and team!

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

Closeup of one of the blankets, featuring beaded flowers and northern lights. Description from Vogue website: "A detail shot of a beaded blanket by Erika Scheffen and Keisha Green from Dawson City, Yukon. “There is so much meaning, from the northern lights to the stars. I put in the Big Dipper and Little Dipper, which Tr’ondëk Hwëch’in and many other [nations] have traditional stories about that have been passed down through generations orally,” says Scheffen. “I also added forget-me-nots to represent the Alaska state flower.” Photo: Emily Sullivan"

Closeup of another blanket, featuring a beaded dogs face surrounded by a circle and snowflakes. Description from Vogue's website: "A detail shot of a beaded blanket by April Monroe of Fairbanks, Alaska. “On this blanket is Jody’s sled dog Flash,” says Monroe. “He was a foundation dog for her team, and many of the dogs running the race with her today are his children and grandchildren.” Photo: Emily Sullivan"

Hän Gwich’in musher Jody Potts-Joseph has outfitted all 16 of her Iditarod dogs with handmade beaded blankets made by Alaska or Canadian First Nations artists! The time and love that went into these, wow...

IGiveARod 2026

While the mushers are (mostly) doing their mandatory 24 hour rests, it's a good time to check out the #Igivearod and help some charities and schools along the trail. We're up to almost $3,000 raised in just over 3 days of race time! Lots of room to grow! docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

Pepe knew they weren't in Nome yet. She wasn't done. :)

This is so wonderful.

The tears. I love everything about this. So glad they completed the journey on their terms and had the experience as a team.

Love everything about this :)

Thank you for this wonderful push!

Nudged it a little closer!

🫣I feel like every time I check, it's moved 5 figures! This is amazing.

Same. So far I've take up knitting and am working on my "to be read" pile, but those are both solo activities. The Katmai bear cams are fun, but more of a zen/zone out kind of thing. Maybe we can convince Blair to interview one of the dogs each week for patreon. ;)
