I will go so far as to propose a musher theme for the next Met Gala. I wanna see Timothee Chalamet in @blairbraverman.bsky.social’s snow skirt and a @thegirlpurls.bsky.social sweater or bust!

Matt’s sweater, Emily Ford in a Dallas Sweater dupe, Quince’s @thegirlpurls.bsky.social sweater — this is The Year of the Musher Sweater.

One of my better shots of @quincemountain.bsky.social at the #Iditarod start. Pepe looks so happy (so does Q)! 🥰 #Qditarod #UglyDogs @blairbraverman.bsky.social

Okay, let's do a full field rundown on Day 4 of the 2025 Iditarod. Paige Drobny is the leader, having just pulled into the Galena checkpoint at Mile 369. For being the first into Galena, Paige earns the Feast on the Yukon Award which is a gourmet dinner. Hope you enjoy the feast! #mushersky 1/

#Uglydogs — if you DM me confirmation of an #Igivearod donation, I’ll mail you a mushing-themed friendship bracelet like the ones some of us made for the ceremonial start. I can do one per person and will go till I run out of beads or the 2025 @igivearod.bsky.social ends, whichever comes first.

Good morning, race fans! I will do a full field run down a little later, but had to pop on to say that we now have a clear leader in the 2025 Iditarod and it is Paige Drobny. She's about 20 miles ahead of Matt Hall at the moment and zooming down the trail. #mushersky

Once again, the #uglydogs corner of the Internet introduces me to writing I love. “You cannot make [trans & nonbinary kids] un-know the truth now. The truth that they belong in the world, and that this world is for them, too.” This is something to protect! Thank you, @sandyernestallen.bsky.social!

Helping this trio out today was incredible. Three very skilled mushers and incredibly kind people! 💕

Three generations of sled dogs on the Iditarod trail! #UglyDogs #Iditarod53

Someone asked about my background with sled dogs, and the answer is weird enough that I figured I’d try to make a thread. TLDR: I’m not a musher. I’m working on a novel, the main character is training for the Iditarod, and many mushers have been incredibly generous with their time and knowledge!

It feels amazing to start this year’s race rooting for everyone and every dog. No real controversy (that I know of), lots of compelling stories, all of it. #Iditarod #UglyDogs

Remember you don’t need to be an #UglyDog to donate and you don’t need to donate to be an #UglyDog! We welcome all kinds of contributions in the spirit of #IGiveARod! There’s so many ways to support your communities and spread kindness, particularly this year. #MusherSky #Iditarod

If you are able: one way to fight despair is to help others, & the Igivearod is underway for this year! Fans of the Iditarod donate to help schools & other orgs along the trail in Alaska. It's a truly wonderful thing.
