Hi #UglyDogs

I don't know if B&Q are doing a card run this year.

We do a card swap in the disco if you want to still participate in one.

@eekappy.bsky.social helps a lot with it.

Kaylee had her surgical consult and CT scan yesterday. I've got a lengthy update here: www.gofundme.com/f/save-sweet...
The short version: She could live several more years if only we can pay for the surgery. Any help is so gratefully appreciated. #uglydogs

The Foodraiser runs through 11:59pm tonight (well, actually, the matching portion runs until then - Greg's not gonna turn down your money afterwards, it just counts differently). So, if you haven't but you can, please do. Also continue to spread the word so more people can see it. Thank you!!
For those of y'all just seeing this, the thread start is here -- it's a long thread, featuring a lot of history

Please reskeet and help spread the word since we don't have a universal algorithm here! 🥰

Journalist friends, you know what to do.

Sarah Kendzior was suspended, she doesn’t know why, and the head of T&S said he won’t confirm whether or not the suspension was intentional unless media requests hit a threshold
We usually do that in response to media requests once they hit that threshold. I’ll try not to weigh in here, since that’s still details of an individual case. An interesting topic for a separate write up though, without discussing case specifics.

If any #UglyDogs want a crocheted phone sock, just buy the yarn and pay for shipping to/from me. I’ll make it during chemo. I’m almost done with my current project, so I need stuff to do!

I mean, you *can* pay me $230 if you want, but it’s definitely not necessary.

A reminder that my wonderful friend Bex still needs a lot of help to pay her bills and keep her house. She is a wonderful supportive friend who has donated so much to us and now needs us to help her & her wife out. #UglyDogs #MutualAid #QueerMutualAid
hey #UglyDogs I seem to have developed another CSF leak that's going to put me on bed rest for indefinite time. I would very much appreciate any shares/help you can give, because I don't know what this will do to my job hunt.
