I know everyone is struggling but I need help. Due to my loss of income, dad & I are at risk of losing the house from debt. Any help/reskeet you can give me to hold onto this house until we're better situated to sell it vs losing it would be greatly appreciated. gofund.me/fa508967

Some folks are getting confused by this scenario but the upshot is that vaccines are already approved on the basis of placebo-controlled trials, what RFK is trying to do is eliminate vax updates, which don’t require placebo controlled studies. So basically trying to kill annual flu/COVID updates.

Good morning #UglyDogs! I missed all the fun last night; congratulations on hitting the big $100K! It looks like there are still projects to be funded on Donors Choose, so I am working on friends like my housemate who said they'd give, but haven't yet... ;-) www.donorschoose.org/igivearod25?...

#UglyDogs I just sent out this signal boost request. Sometimes Mr. Newmark shares teachers' Donors Choose requests with his followers and I am hopeful that he will do the same. If you come across my post in the feed, feel free to repost and maybe it will catch his eye! ;-)

@craignewmark.bsky.social can you signal boost this project to raise money for Alaskan School teachers? the #UglyDogs work with rural Alaskan school teachers during the Iditarod every year to raise funds and we have 6 Donors Choose projects left to go. Thank You! www.donorschoose.org/igivearod25?...

Folks! Let's help get this crew across the finish line!! Mac is help by donating or offer a signal boost! #UglyDogs #Igivearod
