I’ve already had two offers to move my lab out of the country. This is real. Not hyperbole. The risk for an American brain drain is real.

Winter is mostly here which means mushing season is in full swing! Reading is the warmest way to get excited for race season, so please enjoy and share my list of mushing books I’ve enjoyed. One a day. Until I run out of reads I liked or I forget. #MusherSky 📚 #UglyDogs

Proof that there are still good people in the world. Money raised in less than 13 days Red Lantern racer still not in so possibly a couple more days to raise money for schools and organizations in Alaska. #mushersky #uglydogs

#uglydogs need another dog-related sport to watch for the weekend? AKC National Agility Championships are this weekend and can be watched for FREE (if you’re asked to pay it’s the wrong site) at akc.tv or on the AKC app on your tv

Well, well. Team. You did not understand the assignment. I wanted to string you all along on a nice multi-day journey of donations and stories, but you had to do it your way. @esp1371.bsky.social and me just sent our matches, and once @elmtree.bsky.social does, the GFM is fully funded. #UglyDogs

She is an acclaimed veteran. She has run the trail, done the race. She has run though blizzards. She has navigated sea ice. She has been down The Gorge. She has screamed into the Blowholes. She has got this. He is stoked. In theaters now. Iditarod 2: The ReRun #Igivearod #MusherSky

Things are terrible inside Alaska's rural public schools. What's worse, is they've been this way for decades and what's even worse than that is Alaska Native students are the most negatively impacted. Read my story for KYUK, @propublica.org and @npr.org: www.propublica.org/article/rura...

What I'm going to remember about this year is Pepé running lead at 11yrs old for almost 700 miles, across what many called the worst trails they ever ran. Q running while in the midst of mourning, but never quitting. The #uglydogs coming together for @igivearod.bsky.social That's worth celebrating

Great list here of issues with the Iditarod in this thread as we all continue to process what happened and how to respond. #uglydogs

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

Justin went to the uni where I work and since I’m in their PR dept, I knew immediately what we had in Justin. How could Iditarod not see it too??

In honor of the three leading teams currently resting in White Mountain, I've added a few additional projects to donorschoose.org/igivearod25 from close to each of their kennels. I'll thread them here. #UglyDogs #MusherSky #Igivearod

I’m sorry I haven’t done any #iditarod63 updates tonight. I wish all the remaining mushers the best. They e completely taken the fun out of it for me, I am beyond disappointed for Justin, Sydnie and @quincemountain.bsky.social No where near as crushed as they are, of course. 1/ #mushersky

#uglydogs Just in case anyone might want to, I dunno, give some feedback on the rookie withdrawals…

The ITC has never known what to do with the #UglyDogs. They don't understand how or why UglyDogs are so devoted to Blair & Quince and their dogs. They can't quite grasp the power of storytelling in communicating. They don't know why UglyDogs don't automatically support Iditarod in general.

Hey #scicomm and 🧪 journalist BlueSky, we have a really good opportunity here to get away from some of the things we did during Covid. There are a lot of people sharing their thoughts on various topics related to the U.S., but follower counts and engagement ≠ expertise! Vet your sources! (1/5)

#UglyDogs @jamesfrye.bsky.social caught Sean trying to express how many fans Quince has. And he really has no idea of the actual numbers. Let’s continue to show our support on chat, in Mushergrams, and here. Mushergrams are online on Iditarod.com.
