Here for all things migraine, POTS, mushing, & huskies. Everything is awful but I hope my dog makes you smile. Disabled not disposable. #UglyDogs. She/her. Unsolicited advice will get you shot into the sun.

Kieran & I were listening to the Hymn to Aten (Egyptian sun deity) by Erika Mermuse. And then the sun came out.

Sit with us a minute & breathe 💜

Someone wrote the lyrics to Tyler Childers' song Long Violent History in chalk on my campus.

"It's the worst that it's been since the last time it happened
It's happening again right in front of our eyes
There's updated footage, wild speculation
Tall tales and hearsay and absolute lies"

Leave it to Trump to get the CIA involved in overthrowing our own government instead of someone else's.

The deep snow is punchy now & difficult to walk through. So all the wildlife is using the trails in my yard that Kieran already created, then crossing over the frozen pond rather than the yards.

Need an emergency last minute handler for Midnight Run!!!

My handler may need to back out last second for health issues (TOTALLY VALID) but I can't do the race without a handler. If you drive yourself to Marquette, I need you Feb 13-14. If you ride with me, Feb 12-15. (Continued in thread)

"actually his stuff was very Derivative and not Original" like, you don't have to do this. it is good for us all to sit with the cognitive dissonance that a very bad person can make very good art. it is good for us to work through the moral ramifications of that.

Christmas is coming, the goose is getting fat
Please put a penny in the old man's rat
twitter must be dead dead cause someone posted a rat coin purse that would have 2019 twitter losing its collective mind and most of the top comments are bots saying random words or people not nearly amped enough about the rat coin purse

Fresh snow! He's not coming in so I have to go out to meet him. #UglyDogs

Neil Gaiman is attempting a comeback? Can't call it a redemption tour because he still claims he's innocent. Did he choose now - when another tranche of the Epstein emails is out - because he thinks he looks innocent if his victims were adults not kids? Nah. Fuck that guy.

In case any #uglyDogs were going to travel to Minnesota for the Klondike Dog Derby, it was just moved from Feb 12-13 and is now scheduled for March 6-7.

Note that this conflicts with the start of Iditarod, which I know some of you also travel for.

The ICE surge in Minnesota has meant dogs losing homes. If you can foster Murphy, get in touch at the email listed.

I know I'm named for a glossy fierce death omen but this bird is the real me tbh
Just found out about the Gibber Italicus Canary.

It has witnessed many horrors

I just heard a very loud cat meow coming from my hallway. I haven't had cats in 10 years. It sounded just like my orange himbo but I figured dad must be watching a movie in his room with a cat in it.

Nope. Dad's downstairs. TV's off. He didn't hear anything.

Hi, Tree! Miss you, bud! 🥹

I'm seeing a lot of snowy roads in NC on weather live streams. Sending good vibes to all the #UglyDogs in the storm's path! Check in when you can, please. 💜
January 31, 2026 at 3:57 PM
I love this whole vibe

Today's shut down to protest ICE is good! And. I'm fucking irritated by folks yelling at known leftist spaces that stayed open to provide heat & device charging for their neighbors in the deep cold*. Don't fuck over 1 to help another!

*Seen on IG about a Cleveland dog-friendly bar

Wild weather swings every couple days is the Great Lakes norm, so I'm overstimulated but bored in this long steady deep freeze. Wdym I just have to suffocate in my warmest layers all day everyday for 2+ weeks? And be stuck in the 2 rooms upstairs that I can keep warm? CHANGE, WEATHER! 😵‍💫
