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.

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.

UPDATE: Senate votes to advance a tentative deal to end the government shutdown, clearing a key hurdle.
Senators reach tentative deal to end the government shutdown
The deal, negotiated by a group of Democrats and GOP leaders, funds the government through Jan. 30. If it passes, it will still need to clear the House, which will likely take days.

Following up on this. This remains a ‘cave is minutes or hours away’ situation. If you want to impact how this plays out you need to contact senators literally now. I want to add additional points of context. What I’m relaying is what I’ve picked up from highly reliable sources.
Sounds like the squishes in the senate caucus are ready to pull the plug with no ACA changes. This is real. If you want to register your opinion you shld call yr senator in the next hour. They not only want to reopen w/nothing. They want cover from their colleagues who still want to hold out.
