Welcome #UglyDogs! Both @blairbraverman.bsky.social and @quincemountain.bsky.social have accounts here, but are sporadic users. Hashtags work. There is a feed that catches the tag only on top level posts. If you forget the tag, quote tweet, don’t reply. Many of us also have lists of UglyDogs.

Just 2 days left to sell at least 11 framed pieces to have rent. As of now, I don’t even have 1/4 of what I need & in a major panic. An order over $100 will get you an original continuous line drawing, like below, as a major thank you. I can also make gift certificates! Thanks for looking/sharing!

Which is why I think an altruistic response to fascism—“I fight on behalf of those targeted”—is well-intentioned but mistaken. Fascism’s ultimate target is all that is human. The response is solidarity, a recognition that whether targeted today or a figurative tomorrow all struggle for their lives.

Hey #UglyDogs! We have an engagement to celebrate!
Santa asked @rileyharden.bsky.social what he wanted for Christmas and he turned to me and said “all I want for Christmas is you!”
We got engaged on Saturday! Santa pulled the ring out of his sleeve.
Excited to see where life takes us, together! 💜 Love you, Riley!

Check out Sol’s store for Christmas gifts or gift certificates, while she’s too ill to promote herself.❤️
One of my jobs made me a small plate (very very nice of them) that I ate last night & I have had *the worst* food poisoning ALL day. It’s been one of those nightmare weeks. These two are the best, though, even if they can’t get me ginger ale.

I forgot to put a specific tag on this. #uglydogs mox is a wonderful human being who goes out of their way to take care of others.
If any of you can help fund the pot, that would be amazing. And if it's been a rough year and you want to get something as a treat or gift, just ask in the post.

🩷 let's make some magic 🩷
last year, this community turned the most consumerist day of the year into a day defined strangers saying "I got you" to people that really need a bright spot in their life.
it's time to run it back.

@ravenmae.bsky.social I have to tell you this bit of my family lore. My MIL (now departed) asked my then 3 year old oldest what he wanted to be when he grew up and he said “ancient alien researcher.” This was 1997 and DH watched too much History Channel. (It was entrancing even then!) lol
