I'm here for the dogs.
#uglydogs
I ordered this in February, maybe? Whenever they were released, and had completely given up on getting it, but look what showed up in my mailbox yesterday 😆. I'm thrilled! This Iditarod was a wild ride but I'll happily wear my shirt.

The thing I didn’t know I needed most in the world right now.

You don’t have to give up because people tell you too.

You have everything you need within yourself and the people who believe in you.

@quincemountain.bsky.social you are an amazing human. Thank you so much.
They fucking did it. They mushed to Nome.

Not to repeat myself, but...

Beautiful, Beautiful People.

Look what you did 😍

The #igivearod2025 totals are in! This drive in honor of Quince Mountain's #Iditarod run brought in a record $138,646, breaking the previous 2019 record of $127,500. This brings the sum total of all #igivearod drives to an amazing $525,720 to support Alaska school projects and organizations.

Okay maybe I had one more #igivearod post in me for the year. We got 136 projects in by lanterns light, surely we can make it 137 in a sneak finish.
#uglydogs, we know sometimes a straggling team doesn't get a chance to make it to the finish line.

We have some unfinished business with the final remaining DonorsChoose #igivearod project.

Donations won't count toward that total. Let's welcome this red lantern anyway.

I have no words. The astounding generosity of each person who donated or shared, not to mention the organizers, matching donors, spreadsheet elves...

You've changed so many lives for the better. And you've shown countless people what care and community look like, at a time when it's easy to forget.
We will have to wait a little bit for the spreadsheet elves to calculate the final number but I am absolutely stunned by what you all have done.

Thank you all so very much for the wonderful 2 weeks.

It was a great pleasure to see so many old new faces again.

My city boy is living his best farm dog life this week while I'm on vacation. Pretty sure I will be booking him a bath as soon as I get home, but the absolute delight in his expression with every pic my mom sends is making me happy.

It's my 38th birthday today

I ignored my family during my birthday brunch to watch Blair come under the arch the year of the first @igivearod.bsky.social . This year I'm at the zoo with niblings while tracking the final push, loving this birthday memory and the #uglydogs corner of the Internet.

I saw you bringing up the tracker by more than $20.000 in my sleep.

I double dare you to do this again while I am awake.

Let us be a team once more and Push to Nome!

For Pepé.
For Leap, Mazzy, Yotam, Jelly, Waller, WeeGee, and Kiwi
For Opal, Monster, Deshka, Tickle, Bob, Hades, Cream, and Whip

This is the tracker.
You will notice that the distances are measured a bit differently:

The number at WM is the current state of the #Igivearod Donation Tracker.

The number at Nome is the total amount donated during the bleral 2019 Iditarod.

Missing in between are 15.500 USD.

One last push, friends. Can we do this? We have a map! #uglydogs love a good map 😆.

If the BM team was disqualified, it is on the #UglyDogs bring the team to Nome.

There are rumors that Jenny Roddewig will scratch in WM.

In true #UglyDogs fashion, let us do the Red Lantern Run ourselves.

This is your map.

I haven't been on for over 24hrs, came back and found this.

Beautiful, Beautiful People. Look what we did.

Well this is the coolest. I just threw some more at Inspiring Girls Expedition, in honor of all the women who did amazing this year, including Sydnie.

Let's do this thing, #uglydogs
#UglyDogs this is not a drill! We have an anonymous donor who wants #IGiveARod to exceed $100,000! They will donate the last $10,000 if we can get to $90,000 in the next 12 hours. We are currently at $79,000 so that's $11,000 for us in the next 12 hours! Can we do this?!

Friends.

We do good things. I'm so proud to be part of this (not so) tiny corner of the Internet.

($49,763 raised. 92 projects funded. 46 schools served. 69 teachers supported.)

Photography has brought me so much joy, and is such a good life skill to teach teenagers. I have mostly supported lower elementary school projects this year, maybe we can complete a big ask for big kids with our big emotions?

There will be time for other thoughts and critiques, but for now I'm focusing on two - love and pride for Q, Pepe, Leap, Opal, Yotam, Waller, Whip, Bob, Kiwi, and the rest of the team (sorry, I can't find the roster right now). Rest well and travel safe. New adventures await. #mushersky 6/6
March 13, 2025 at 3:56 AM
The dogs finished their race, and did it well, and made their humans proud. And we are so proud of them too. All of them, from all 3 teams.
But, as disappointed as we humans might be, the dogs don't know they didn't finish. As far as they are concerned, they did their jobs and had a great adventure on the trail - and the dogs are absolutely right. They were beautiful and perfect and that will never change. #mushersky 5/

Abe was mad about the scrubs today and wouldn't acknowledge snuggles. 5 hours later, I fully get the mood. I too am mostly grumpy at the world.
March 13, 2025 at 4:51 AM
What I'm going to remember about this year is Pepé running lead at 11yrs old for almost 700 miles, across what many called the worst trails they ever ran.
Q running while in the midst of mourning, but never quitting.
The #uglydogs coming together for @igivearod.bsky.social
That's worth celebrating
March 13, 2025 at 2:41 AM
It's 0530 in Kansas and @quincemountain.bsky.social and team Bravermountain have exactly 500miles to go.

To celebrate I donated to this @igivearod.bsky.social donors choose, because kids learning to cook is a blast. It's one of the bigger asks but surely we can finish it off, right?

There is a lot of resting happening in the middle of the night iditarod, but for those racing, they are really RACING. Average speed currently seems to be in the 8-9 range.
March 12, 2025 at 9:05 AM
Q is making great forward progress, Nic just made a concerning U-turn and is back in Kaltag, (I hope his team is okay) and Paige has been resting on the trail 11miles before Unalakleet for 3+hrs. It's 0100 on day 8 and there is so much happening on the #iditarod53 trail.
