Rally trial this weekend! Poppy is all brushed up, so at least she’ll look beautiful lol. First outdoor trial for her so we’re putting our engagement training to a test! #belgiantervuren #belgianshepherd #tervuren #dogtraining

The MSNBC commentator saying that most political violence has historically come from the left just once again showed how we suffer from failing to learn history. Lynching, pogroms, race riots, the political violence that ended Reconstruction, and against the Civil Rights Movement. Come on.

I know this person and I was this person. And I know many people with the potential to be this person, too.

Age verification bills are bad for a lot of reasons. Check up on what your governments are doing, especially if it involves facial recognition, because that's a privacy nightmare.

In 1989, Susan Butcher won her third Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race, dominating one of the toughest endurance events on Earth. Her grit and bond with her dogs redefined excellence in extreme sports. #SportHistory

I guess the media needs it to be spelled out but the core principle of RFKj wellness fascism is that if you get sick it’s your fault, you could have avoided it by using the right “supplements” and working out, so you might as well die because you’re of no use

Poppy and some Arrowleaf Balsamroot on a hike last month. Taking it slow with the heat now but hoping to get up into the mountains soon! #belgiantervuren #belgianshepherd

Not all of us vote Red. My uncle is a retired Coeur d’Alene firefighter. He’s as liberal as they come and I know a lot of his old coworkers are the same. Don’t be an asshole to people who are staying trying to make the deep red parts of the US better.

The Republican public lands selloff is back, and just like the waking dead, it won't go away. This time it would require the sales of up to 1.2 million acres of BLM land near towns. That's where much of the outdoor recreation infrastructure exists.

Call your senators and representatives.

Holy shit, New York!

Here’s the full view.

"They are desperately trying to defend a destructive, deadly system that systematically puts short term profit & ...geopolitical power over the well-being of human beings & the planet. Right now It’s very, very difficult to morally defend that. It’s impossible—but still they are desperately trying."

25,000 turned out to support democracy in Utah

Obsessed with this photo I took of a California Condor at the Oregon Zoo looking out into the rain majestically 🌧️

JK Rowling is vile, and in no way an ally to LGBTQ+ people.
Asexual people continue to be persecuted through forced sexualisation. People stigmatise their clothing choices and behaviors which lead to harassment. There’s need for increased visibility and education on this issue.

Yikes not the best response to bird flu 😬. Even if there is some kind of response all of his chickens will be dead by that point and maybe a good chunk of the waterfowl too…

Beautiful article about Q’s Iditarod!

"broken business model" AND WHO THE FUCK MADE IT THAT WAY HUH. The post office is a service not a god damn business.

A brown and white sled dog with a white stripe on her forehead, looking straight at the camera as if to say "why the heck aren't we running yet?" She has a black harness and is in front of a team. She wears black booties on her feet and has an orange tag on her collar with her name - Pepe.

The very first Sled Dog of the Day here on Bluesky is... Pepé! At nearly 12 years old, she continues to lead her team and came out of retirement to help musher Quince Mountain on this year's Iditarod journey. She made it to Nome with Blair in 2019!
Go Pepé & Quince!

Photo of Pando, a quaking aspen with white bark and yellow leaves against the blue Utah sky - looking like a forest, but actually clones of the same organism.

This beautiful forest is not what it seems.

It's a quaking aspen (Populus tremuloides) in Utah, nicknamed Pando. It may *look* like a mass of 47,000 aspens, but it’s actually a clonal organism, connected by a root system over 42.8 ha./106 acres.

But this is not the wildest thing.

A snowy scene from the Iditarod in front of a stand of bare trees: A white and gray Alasan husky named Pepé howls as her musher Quince Mountain checks the lines attached to the dogs in the back of the team. Two other very good dogs look like they’re smiling.

Celebrating some trans joy today as my online friend @quincemountain.bsky.social has passed the halfway point in the Iditarod! His dog team is led by nearly 12yo badass Pepé 👑 (howling in the pic). Wishing Q and team a smoother trail and positive vibes 🏳️‍⚧️🐕🛷❄️ #UglyDogs Who runs the world? Pepé

Can Paxlovid Relieve Long COVID Symptoms? For Some, Yes Research on long COVID patients who took an extended course of Paxlovid shows mixed results.

It’s been estimated that about 400 million people worldwide have had long COVID. For some, Paxlovid can relieve some of the symptoms.

Poppy encapsulates how I’m feeling this week with the time change #belgiantervuren #tervuren

An alaskan husky with a white stripe on her forehead (Pepé) running towards the camera in snow, eyes closed in happiness. Based off the 2018 video of her continuing to run tirelessly after finishing a 400 mile race.

An alaskan husky with a white stripe on her forehead looking at the camera mouth open. She's wearing an orange-ish harness, with black and grey booties. Her coat is a mix of dark and light browns here (though in reality it's a bit darker.)

Some Pepé paintings to cheer her and the team on in the Iditarod!! 🎉

Two dogs in front of a team trot forward confidently on a snowy trail. The lead dog on the right side of the photo is lanky, with dark fur and orange paws and ankles. The lead dog on the left side is gray and white, with an unmissable white line across her forehead. They both look confident, comfortable, and perfectly content.

So scary for owners and breeders. 💔 Best a breeder can do is outcross to lines that don’t appear to have issues and cross your fingers.

First time qualifying in Rally today with a score of 95! Poppy did awesome this morning, super proud of her! 🥰 #belgiantervuren #belgianshepherd #rallyobedience
