The world is a weird, wonderful place. As I was leaving the brewery tonight I got to talking to a couple about their whippet mix puppy. The other part of the mix was...Alaskan husky. Turns out they run a dryland sprint dog racing kennel and volunteer with the John Beargrease Sled Dog Marathon in Duluth, Minnesota. We talked about the Doty Dryland and the UP200, as well as upcoming events including one in Rhinelander, Wisconsin that I may try to check out.

This is so great. Outside Magazine's The Daily Rally featured Iditarod musher Quince Mountain, who is trans and non-neurotypical, on growing up different, trans inclusion, and finding your people. It's an 11-minute audio clip, or you can read the transcript at: https://www.outsideonline.com/outdoor-adventure/snow-sports/quince-mountain-races-toward-connection/

I really liked his closing comments, aimed not just at trans folks but people struggling to find their place in the world.

Any #UglyDogs and just regular old dog lovers who live in Kent/SE England (UK) may find this event at Betteshanger Country Park in September of interest. Gives the opportunity to see (and try?) canicross among other stuff.

Tickets at www.paw-fest.co.uk :)

@Mackaracka that took FOREVER!

@mivox I keep up with Toni Chell Ak for #UglyDogs

@KrazyTheeAlaskan Same with all the #MusherTwitter community I loved… Blair Braverman went to Bluesky, so that’s the end of the potential #UglyDogs migration.

@jtb I just tried to view a bunch of twitter bookmarks - my old twitter profile, a bunch of other profiles, some random links - with no luck.

Each time I was redirected to the login page.

But one old bookmark did work, sort of, this tweet from Blair Braverman (#UglyDogs):

https://twitter.com/BlairBraverman/status/1050239434795491328

I can see one tweet but can't see the rest of the thread. If click on her profile I get "something went wrong, try reloading"

So I have no idea what's going on.

hey #UglyDogs i haven’t been keeping up with the BraverMountain crew since moving here, are Bler and Q going anywhere/have they already gone somewhere else social-media-wise?

Excited that my request for the library to purchase Small Game by #BlairBraverman came through! Can't wait to read it.

@autolycos Wait, was that a Blair Braverman #UglyDogs reference?

Hey #uglydogs - just boosting in case anyone wants in on this.

Re-writing my intro as I just moved servers. Hi all, I write about #dogs #UglyDogs (which are actually people because ofc there’s no such thing as an ugly dog), and #hockey. HIV #epidemiology, I live in Kenya but left my heart in #stlouis. Applying for #PhD.

I have to say: Bler’s latest Patreon update rating the dogs’ favorite treasures for grossness and degree of covetedness made me laugh so hard.

Never change, Flame. Never change.
