Dog sponsorships are officially up for the season! Things may not have gone as I hoped in the northeast, but I still plan to hit up the Midwest circuit and could use your help for the final push getting there! 🫶♥️ yukikazesiberians.weebly.com/dog-sponsors...

I just want this week to be over so people at work stop smiling and asking "how was your Christmas?" Mine sucked. I'm dairy free due to doctor's orders and my parents know that, but they gifted me thinks I like but can't eat because dairy is in it. They admitted they weren't thinking and (1/?)

Don we now our gay apparel 🎄🏳️‍🌈

As it's Christmas Eve 2025 it is now the five year anniversary of when I was driving for doordash and had a pizza delivery and when the delivery instructions popped up they just said "leave it on the doorstep and get the hell out of here."

"Every friend you've got Is someone that you didn't used to know - So why build walls? Around our homes, around our hearts? We just stay small, Always thinkin' we're so smart. But that story's gotta end though, Or we could lose it all. So I'm lookin' for a window, not a wall."

Pro tip: you can still get the 2025 parks pass design (without that guy's face) if you get it this year! They are good for one year, so this one, that I ordered earlier this month (arrived today) will be good until December 2026! I have some fun shit planned for this next year and I can't wait. 🙌🏻

Being tired does the weirdest things to your brain I am at work looking at a patient's due date like "she can't be 28 weeks and 3 days pregnant because 3 is a prime number." What the fuck does that mean, Nicole.

this field biologist does a great job highlighting the insidiousness of AI editing these one-click AI edit buttons are incredibly appealing to many photographers, amateurs and professionals alike, and are framed as innocuous this is worth sharing and educating people about

Me: *hasn't been religious since I was 18* Me when certain Christmas Songs come on:

I realize there are approximately one million things going on right now worse than my 'problem' but I've been dairy free for a week as part of an elimination diet and have lost 12 pounds simply because I stop feeling hungry when I think about the meals in this house that I'm 'allowed' to eat.

My mother had me unmedicated and somehow is convinced that I am in pain that would be unbearable to her. (I am in no pain at all.)

After being on the pill (for cramps, not contraception 🏳️‍🌈) for twelve years, I switched to a new method today. Hopefully it will work for me because if it does I don't have to worry about paying out of pocket for pills each month if I lose my health insurance. Please cross your fingers for me!

Every part of this is bonkers. The intro is bonkers. The transition to his health is bonkers. The mention that other presidents didn't need cognitive exams is bonkers. The claim that this screening test is somehow hard is bonkers. The idea that criticism of him is treason is bonkers. All of it.

Me after eight hours of not eating dairy (per doctor's orders)

Today I'm thinking of when some of my fellow Americans say they are glad they don't live in places with socialized healthcare "because those people have to wait months to see the doctor." I got a referral from my primary to gastroenterology today and there is nothing until April.

I am so tired of people acting like their own flakiness is someone else's problem, but it's that time of year again where people miss appointments or don't show up to jobs and claim "it's the holidays, life happens" when life is happening for everyone around the holidays and everyone else managed.

Fourteen years ago tonight I drove home from college to be there as my childhood dog/fourth birthday present was put to sleep. Jenny lived for fourteen years, so this anniversary is harder than recent ones have been, because now she has been gone as long as she was here.

Winter gets a lot of hate but it's quite nice when you forget to bring your lunch in from the car and when you realize on your break four hours later you can just go get it and it has not spoiled.

I've had either work or a doctor appointment like every day for the past week and a half and my body does NOT believe me when I tell it we don't have to leave the house tomorrow if we don't want to. It's convinced I'm wrong and is on high alert mode and will not let me relax.

I just cannot get warm today and I have been inside all day save going to and from my car to go to the dentist and walking to the mailbox twice. And no it's not because of where I live because I've lived here 97% of my life and inside my house is 70°F and even warmer by the woodstove. 🙃

If we are friends you already know how I stand but: Trans girls are girls Trans boys are boys NB kids are NB. It's simple, and maybe a few trans girls grow up and decide they are men and vice versa, and that's ok. Believe the kids. Support them. Love them.

Pleased to see 40 (38+2) mushers already signed up for Iditarod. I'm sure we will have some pre-race scratches but we'll also probably have a few more sign up as well. There was some speculation last year that the field size would be tiny this year and I'm really happy to see that isn't the case.

Just had to inform someone who had penciled star gazing into their summer 2026 itinerary at Denali National Park that this is what it's gonna look like at midnight 😂

Holiday card tiiiiime!

I am so angry and sad about this. Draconian staff cuts at KYUK in Bethel are an incalculable loss for the region and indeed all of Alaska. #AlaskaSky #PublicRadio

Wow look what happens when you don't vaccinate your fucking kids.

Two years and it still feels like yesterday. It hasn't gotten easier. I still cry regularly. I still say goodbye to your urn before leaving on vacation. I still panic if I cannot immediately find the ring that holds your fur after I shower. I miss you, Eliza, every bit as much as I did back then.

My dad has managed to turn 39 every year since 1997, and what do you know, he's done it again! Happy birthday dad, crazy to think I'll be older than you in a few years! 😉

It's just very hard to go about my day knowing that I've probably got six weeks left of health insurance and then my pain will go unmedicated and when my gallbladder starts acting up like it absolutely will given my family history that will just be the end for me and I will die.

Pillars would be more noticeable if the clouds weren't blocking the bottom, but I'm never going to complain about getting this view in any capacity.

How to pay for this? The moral thing to do is to tax the corporations who cause climate change. Change the tax structure for corporations that profit off of Alaskas oil and gas putting Alaskans at risk. #akleg

Just because I'm *not* texting you every time they're visible.

Some people in my life need to learn what "gatekeeping" means. No I am not gatekeeping the Northern Lights from you just bc I'm texting you every time they're visible and bc I don't want to spend the time they're visible walking you through camera settings bc you didn't think to do it ahead of time.

JEFF DEETER LET'S GOOOO #Iditarod54

When the sun is giving us great aurora conditions but you live near massive lakes.

The Dems folded AGAIN! Their lack of backbone and their inability to get their hands dirty lost the country to Trump.Now,they rolled over again! 80% of dem voters Said DON'T! They didn't care!

"And the iron boats go, as the mariners all know, with the gales of November remembered."

I slept on it, and I'm even more angry.

Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory: Democrats 2025

We get a pinky promise with fingers crossed behind their backs and they get what they initially wanted on September 30th. And all it took was having to *gasp* work a weekend.

Two of the yes votes are retiring, and the others aren't up for reelection for three more years.

Learn these motherfuckers' names, they just betrayed every single member of the Democratic coalition and let Republicans rip healthcare away from over 11 million people. Durbin Hassan King Cortez Masto Kaine Shaheen Fetterman Rosen

Good bye you racist, thieving prick.

I love this time of year. #PureMichigan
