Found this in my phone just now. Part of the positive of losing my phone is that I have less pics now and the old ones are what Apple has backed up.

Seemed appropriate.

One thing I still can’t quite get over is how different last year vs this year has been in terms of social media engagement.

Last year was so quiet!

Some people were here, some were over there 😆

I had no idea how to use this platform (still don’t, tbh) and it just felt different.

Hey #UglyDogs, this is your reminder to turn off the auto renew on your Insider. It defaults to renew so you do actually need to turn it off or you’ll get charged.

But first — more of this.

There’s still so much to digest from this running of the Iditarod… so many featured videos I haven’t watched, screencaps still untouched in my Dropbox.

I think I’ll hang for a while more (this is a seasonal account) as we collectively celebrate as well as lament over the 53rd Iditarod.

It's that time of year again...

Jenny Roddewig chose to scratch in White Mountain in the best interest of her team (her family has said it was fully her decision).

Ebbe Pederson is this year's red lantern and will be given the honor later today. #Iditarod53

Can someone remind me where we stream the Finisher’s Banquet?

Is it on Insider or their Facebook?

Iditarod has confirmed that there will be a "Red Lantern Banquet" for those that do not finish ahead of the banquet tonight. This tradition has happened for decades, nice to see it be able to be brought back. #Iditarod53

I've never woken up to a better thing happening.
Y'all started literally 10min after I went to sleep and crossed the 100k in 2 hrs!
Lumi just came over to look if everything is alright with me.
Might have screamed for a bit.

You all are wonderful people. Every single one of you.

I miss the feature where you could keyword search your own posts…

Anyone know if there’s a way to do it here on Bluesky?

This is still stuck in my head, btw 😆
Because I think our Queen Pepé needs her own Disney Princess theme song —

Here’s “How Far I’ll Go!”

Melody from Moana, but with the reprise ending.

{Thank you to @seaglass7000.bsky.social for the prompt 💛🐾}
