How's everyone doing? Hanging in there? Anyone need a tiny duckling break?

I can't emphasize this message enough. Don't give up on voting. That's what they want you to do. If you stop bothering to vote, you've essentially done their job for them.

Good to know. Pass it along.

Maine there is a Facebook group recruiting people to infiltrate groups supporting their neighbors during an ICE occupation. Andy writes about it here. People are joining the Pine Guard “militia” with their full government names. #hostilepress #hostilepressME www.facebook.com/story.php?st...

nail polish + suppressed AR does go hard as fuck even if the implications for the stability of American society seem bad,

Our technological dystopia continues to evolve faster and in more horrifying ways than I ever imagined. (Partly because I didn't imagine this kind of data collection would take place with virtually zero pushback.) 1/2

The #murmurs of protest have fallen silent. The sound of running boots on pavement came and went, accompanied by sirens. Eventually, when they could not arrest all of us, they cracked down. If you don't use your freedom, you lose it. All that is left now is the sound of silence. #vss365

When the racist meme becomes national policy

"Which... creature should I take?" "You've never rode before? The #dappled one is docile." "What's its name?" "Why would you give it a name? That would be weird." <Pat, pat... Don't worry. I'll call you Spots. Do you like it? Yes, yes you do.> #VSS365

As requested, more Luna being Luna! Happy #Caturday, everyone!

This. I've never seen a people submit so fast.

Various Mutual Aid opportunities for those of us who wish we could be on the ground in Minnesota but can't linked below I donated to the Indigenous Protector Movement because they sounded like exactly what my crew is about Support the front line of Trumps racist war against Minneapolis

Block instantly.

My husband is less enamored of Chopper than I am.

If he wasn't before, the guy is now officially an international disgrace. This is something someone should never do. The Nobel Peace Prize cannot be transferred-- and if someone offers to, you should politely and gracefully decline. Not... what ever the fuck this was.

Our atmospheric river (AR) here in southern Alaska is literally starting at Hawai'i. A true "pineapple express". 🍍

I guess you can’t tell a story from the point of view of something that you don’t think has a point of view.

Clam chowder is not only a one-pot meal; it's also it's own bowl if you're not too stubborn to eat out of the pot you made it in. You're welcome. (This PSA brought to you by "I hate dishes" and also "it's -35 outside again!")

Some would say it's the Chena, or the Tanana. But it's the Chatanika for me.

I don't know how much louder I can scream "THEY'RE SHOWING YOU WHO THEY ARE". You'd think this would do it; but there's a sad lack of history being taught these days.

Useful info. And it should be assumed that this goes for all government agents as well, not just ICE.

As promised: a Luna timeline cleanser photo! She loves to sit on books.

In a few decades, we'll be hearing about widespread lasting negative health effects from this. Of course, it'll be far too late to hold the mine operator accountable.

Agreed. Or, at the very least, take away their firearms. Make them learn to use nonviolent de-escalation instead.

Anyone else seeing the buildup toward a possible armed conflict between local law enforcement and federal agents in cities like Minneapolis? It feels like that's where we might be headed, and I find that concerning.

The reactionary centrist logic is simple: if the left does something bad it’s the left’s fault, and if the right does something bad, it’s also the left’s fault for making them do it. It’s a simple formula and once you see it every one of their arguments is the same

At the very least we should impeach her hat. #PuppyKiller

I hope they do. And I hope he ends up serving life for murder. I know it's unlikely, but it's exactly what he and people like him deserve, especially considering his remarks immediately after her shooting.

I always think of that Stormfront editorial directive which was "blame everything in the Jews, since they're really responsible anyway." lying about disfavored groups is seen as virtuous because destroying them is seen as virtuous in itself. 1

Abolish ICE!

Timeline cleanse! Have a lovely evening ❤️

I didn't know it was this easy to sign up. Seems like a worthwhile investment!

Our soup kitchen served 74,327 meals in 2025... thousands & thousands more than any previous year in the Bread Line's history of feeding #Fairbanks. I am deeply proud of how this team shows up & we're not enough. The ongoing elevation of community need is alarming. #AlaskaSky #JustSoupKitchenThings

Put some thoughts together after talking with people at the rally against ICE's unchecked, unlawful, violent deportation machine after the killing of Renee Nicole Good We have many options, but it's gonna take all of us pushing back to see justice youtu.be/ELIKSgWwoBY

In that quiet, at midnight, the day after Christmas, distant barking of a dog to the north, its echo to the south, from the hills. An owl on a rooftop, softly hooting, and the #symphony of chimes in the wind. #vss365 #poetry

It's been a really rough week. I promise to post some cat pictures soon. I feel like we all need it at this point.

A taste of what we could have everywhere if we ran progressive candidates, supported them, and turned out to vote. Hopefully this change spreads!

Of course they were.

Good morning, friends! It's current -50F outside. How's your morning going?!

Those who do not study history are doomed to repeat it.

Some of the most intense and vivid light pillars I've seen on the south side of Fairbanks tonight! I took a few more photos: photos.lwpetersen.com/Recent-Photos #alaska #lightpillar #atmosphericoptics #fairbanks #nightsky

My dad was a sheriff. In the early 80s, a major manufacturer in the county had a walk out and the workers went on strike. The company called my dad to come out and push the strike line back to allow temp workers to enter the plant. My dad grabbed a picket sign, megaphone and kept the plant shutdown.

AST proving once again that you don't call the cops if your loved ones are having a mental health crisis. Rexford (the deceased) expressed that he want to kill himself, then went into the kitchen, got a knife, and charged the Troopers. They shot him dead and critically wounded another man.

One of the first things I did after installing Windows 10 Professional– after disabling forced Windows updates– was to permanently block OneDrive.

Happy New Year. Sorry for the double images but it was single digit temps and windy so I couldn't open the window. The plants would not have been happy. We do our fireworks in Anchorage at 8pm.

Good!! I live in Alaska precisely because I'd rather deal with extreme cold than extreme heat.

Ok, this is heartbreaking. This is really not cool.
