I love this story by Keith Uhlig, and particularly the ending:
"I think for a lot of us LGBT people, the message resonates," Mountain said. "Maybe people tell you you can't do something, but you can go ahead and do it anyway.""

After officials pulled him from the Iditarod, this Wisconsin musher finished anyway
Because he lagged far behind race leaders, officials pulled Quince Mountain from the Iditarod. He finished, unsupported and unofficially, on his own.

Look what Republicans were trying and failing to do while Quince Mountain started for Nome? #Qditarod #uglydogs
The final vote: 51-45, with 4 people absent.
CLOTURE FAILS, A CONGRESSIONAL SPORTS BAN WILL NOT HAPPEN.
Democrats hold firm, not a single dem voted for cloture.
MAJOR victory for everyone who called in today and this week in support of trans people.

It's Iditarod time! Which means #uglydogs and others fund tons of projects while trying not to go feral watching trackers. This started in 2019 when @blairbraverman.bsky.social's tracker stopped moving and no one knew what to do, so everyone started funding Donor's Choose projects in AK.
The #UglyDogs spreadsheet elves have awoken from hibernation! Follow @igivearod.bsky.social for the latest, but I'm going to thread some key links to bookmark 🧵
👀 who’s ready for #Qditarod25??

Public comment is now open for passport gender marker changes.
You can go here to go to each of the three proposed passport rules, and submit comment.
My suggestion: be unique, argue for trans-inclusive policies, against the constitutionality of the changes, etc.

At a meeting today with staffers for Senators Markey and Warren, the staffers made two concrete asks:
1. Please call or email and share your stories about how the current administration’s actions are hurting or will hurt you personally. The Senators can use these human stories to persuade those /1

Everyone is less fucked when they understand *why* this is happening. You can’t solve a crisis without knowing the roots. That’s why oligarchs are trying to erase history. On that note — get this one while you can.
Just finished this one and I am SHOOK and we are fucked. A must read.
