I went to Costco yesterday and did not buy any peanut butter. Please congratulate me on my strike against my addiction.

Hey, folks from Minneapolis: Thank you. We see you fighting for all of us. Stand your ground.

Minneapolis, like Anchorage and Fairbanks, is a "winter city." And Greenland, of course, is also arctic. Assaults on both feel personal to this Alaskan.

Found this pendant at a thrift shop today. It's the tip of an orca or sperm whale tooth. For $20. Perfect for today, I sent a demand letter to the contractor who really, really screwed me over. It is a rare but important time for me to defend myself---to show my teeth.

It's so satisfying to try a new recipe and end up adding a new favorite. It's pork loin in Caribbean sauce. Should freeze great!

We rounded up Japanese people, no matter their citizenship status, and sent them to camps, for YEARS. How is this different? Or not even worse?

Greenland residents are 90% Native. Invading for their resources is indefensible. Have white people (yes I'm white) learned nothing?

I hate cleaning my oven so I got a very powerful fan hood instead. Just put chicken thighs in the oven in cast iron. If I disappear from my home in the next 35 minutes, I've been sucked up the duct onto the roof. Probably still hungry.

In my small city we are not to tell even good friends about upcoming parties by a mutual friend. Lest they were not invited. It may result in an awkward "oh so that's why you were so secretive about what you were doing tonight!

Behold the Airport Heights Stonehenge. For a few days each year, the afternoon sun reaches through the bathroom, across the hall, into the tiny bedroom, splashing my fuzzy shadow on the far wall. Solstice is near. Time to celebrate!

I've chosen to capitulate/accept several big losses this year for my long term benefit. But a contractor that I trusted really screwed up, requiring all to be yoinked out and redone to code/make functional/safe. Will cost thousands of dollars and hundreds of hours to make right. He finds out today.

So... the switch to Calibri was "wasteful" but somehow switching it back to Times New Roman won't cost anything?

As an artist, I legitimately feel for the sculptor of the FIFA "Peace Prize," regardless of how I feel about the resulting trophy or much more so, the person receiving it. It was a design job, with client input/direction, probably a board, and likely rushed.

Shared some dark, dark places in my memories today with a friend. My friend kindly witnessed those fears, and shared her own. I held her hand. We both cried. It was a beautiful day.

I am assaulted at my front door by a thick cloud of whatever scent originates in my Costco brand laundry detergent. First time, last time I buy that. Wow, just wow. It may be months before it clears...

while I’m being cranky, access journalism needs to go. When the president does his “I’m alpha because I insulted you” thing somebody needs to fall on his sword and say “what the fuck is wrong with you, old man?” on a hot mic. the hero of the wizard of Oz is Toto.

i hate that AI has now caused me to question the authenticity of cute animal videos online, which is my primary use of social media. i don't even know if this baby penguin actually wore a beret to go buy a tiny baguette in paris

Recent thrift store observations: 1. New art isn't sold with glass over it anymore. 2. Never buy a new stock pot (again😛). 3. Tupperware is hard to find. It's been replaced by light plastic containers.
