He came promising to cure their ailments, and for that they #exalted him They treated him like royalty, when he was nothing more than a con artist with a few powers He gave them the illusion of health, then slipped away with their money, leaving them to die horrible deaths #vss365 #vsshorror

Before Rosa Parks, before Brown v. Board, there was Sarah Keys Evans. In the summer of 1952, she was arrested and charged with disorderly conduct for refusing to give up her bus seat for a white Marine. A new book tells her story.

It starts with the policing of #conduct. One cannot criticize the ruling party without repercussions. One cannot support marginalized groups, or dress or act provocatively, for fear of becoming an outcast. When we no longer have freedom of expression, we are no longer free. #vss365

Dunleavy proposes 92 percent property tax cut for gas line NO! Stop the giveaways to billion dollar corporations. Alaska is a failed petrostate with no money. You know who isn’t failing and has money? It’s not the State or Alaskans. #akleg

Good day to be vanlifin' in the western Nevada high desert, just across the border from Death Valley. Kinda hot today, but the stars are going to be great tonight! #photography #bloomscrolling #Nevada #wildflowers

NK3 March downtown Seattle wrapped after a MASSIVE turnout that took over an hour to funnel over the finish line The organizers of this event were seriously on point, things were so much smoother and well planned than previous marches: We’re getting good at this NO COPS. NO KKK. NO FASCIST USA.

Fairbanks is here and it isn’t even noon!!

NO kings rally juneau Ak! Lots of music & positive energy to defend our neighbors and our country

Excellent choice. Good work, Wikipedia!

Long walk in the woods & bog

Hell yes!! This badly needs to happen. If Dunleavy vetoes, he needs to be overridden.

Question for Entangled authors: did Entangled file a claim on your behalf in the Anthropic settlement, without your authorization to do so? (They are reportedly charging a $50 administrative fee for this.) Contact me (Writer Beware) in confidence: [email protected]

Pretty much. I hope all the voters who were super happy they "won" the last election are enjoy what that's getting them. www.youtube.com/shorts/T_13L...

Check out this #sciencefiction #horror story I wrote a while back! It's about scavengers who find far more than they were bargaining for. I'd love to know what you think of it. www.patreon.com/posts/153547...

There was ONE ATC in the tower at LGA during last night's crash. ONE ATC, at LGA!, dealing w ALL air and ground traffic, including a plane filling w a strange smell and no gate to return to. The Pentagon wants $200B for a vanity war, but our ATC towers are empty. Budgets are moral documents.

This really needs to happen! Please make your voices heard in support of ending DST for Alaska.

Every picture of ICE agents in airports is just this again

Made a lil short for the people who’ve been sold the narrative that ‘The left wants to take your guns’ Gun ownership doesn’t divide the left from right, it divides the top from the bottom youtube.com/shorts/NJhM0...

Don't shed a #tear for the #violets. They'll be here next year, popping up through cracks in the asphalt, coming up at the edge of the landscaping. Mourn for the spring ephemerals paved over, the streams diverted, and the 300-hundred-year-old wolf trees felled. Those are gone forever. #vss365

From birth, we're taught about the #divide: good vs evil. Right vs wrong. Us vs them. We're taught that our strength and conviction must never #waver, lest we be plunged into darkness. Here's the thing, though: I think they've been lying to us all along. #vss365

Couldn’t sleep.

You'd think the prospect of potentially falling into the road would be a deterrent... but the accessibility of it probably overrides that.

Caturday involves warm spaces like the kitchen window shelf and the convenient computer butt-warmer

a clear #divide in people: those who love cats and those who are wrong #vss365 #Caturday

Good morning and #Caturday greetings from Box Cat, aka Luna!

You can send written testimony by email, with “support HB 229 to end DST” in subject line, to [email protected]

I can't go, but I'm hoping others will! DST needs to end for good!

The void looks back

Bustling when the sun's up, but haunted at night.

We miss the sun. Every day is #overcast. The billionaires' solution to global warming and drought was to seed the clouds, to tease rain out of the dry sky and cool the scorched earth. While they retreat to their island paradises, we remain: vitamin D deficient and depressed. #vss365

Highly relatable.

getting a nazi tattoo is a stand on the issues, you putz. he's also used homophobic slurs, boasted about how he likes colonial wars, said racist garbage, claimed that women who are sexually assaulted are at fault. 1

I don't like talking about the cost of universal basic income, not because it's some high number, but because it assumes not doing it is free. We spend $1.5 TRILLION a year on the costs of child poverty alone. We cut child poverty by 40% for a cost of $100B in 2021. That would have been a $500B GAIN

“It’s toddler AI misinformation at an industrial scale. It’s very risky for the developing brain.” Children’s media experts say AI-generated “slop" has infiltrated the internet, preying on young children and their unsuspecting caregivers.

THIS. SO MUCH THIS. If you aren't excited enough about it to put it in your own words... maybe don't write about it at all.

On Monday, March 30, @foodandwater.bsky.social is holding a volunteer meeting to share how they’ve stopped data center proposals. If you’re fighting a data center in your community — or want to be ready to fight one — join Food and Water Action to hear about their winning strategies! #Alaska #MatSu

The news lately is unrelentingly grim, so here's a win: shield laws in in 22 states + Washington, DC allow those experiencing pregnancy in states where abortion has been made illegal to access abortion services from another state via telemedicine. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

The Republican Party is once again telling everyone exactly who they are. I hope people are paying attention.

Mind-blowing how many stars and galaxies there are in this one image

This @the-independent.com story is such an obvious lift of mine that they didn’t even bother deleting my site’s referral URL. And no, they do not credit me for reporting it first or (intentionally) link to my story. In j-school, rewording someone else’s reporting was called plagiarism. 1/

Considering what's happening with fossil fuel supplies, especially in light of certain totally unnecessary elective wars, maybe we should not be stifling renewables right now?!

This. Stop normalizing him. Stop normalizing the insanity. Stop normalizing the incompetence, carelessness, and corruption. Call it out and call it what it is.

We're tiptoeing across a wood slat bridge. The spray of the rapids below spits up at us through the mist. Somewhere up ahead, a very important man is cutting the support ropes one by one. At the other end, another very important man is doing the same. They both #assure us everything is fine. #vss365

I am unreasonably fond of this excerpt from Chapter 6 of The Ferret's Tale. This was really fun to write.

Wow. Click on it.
