Today's culinary experiment: Beef short ribs instead of chuck in my Every Vegetable Roasted Stew. I make enough for an army.

I am just now understanding what it did to young me that women were not considered fit to be priests. American caste.

I love my fellow Anchorage old people. They give great directions based on what used to be across the street from the place I'm going.

The best cure to gerrymandering is open primaries and ranked choice voting like Alaska has. Districts that are 51% in one direction or the other should not be electing extreme candidates.

Appreciate this detail from CBS News reporter Jennifer Jacobs. It's an important part of the story that seems to be missing from a lot of comments & coverage.

I've become grudgingly grateful for so much in my life, by lowering my expectations of everything and everyone. A correction may be necessary though.

I could not agree with this more. When I take the performance out of my actions, what remains is far more powerful. When men embrace this, which admittedly is a heavier lift under the expectations our culture demands from them, they become wildly attractive. www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/ar...

Dangit I tested positive for Covid

A forecast is likely to change in 4 days... right?

Watching The Pitt because I'm stressed. What is wrong with me?

Here I am craving a chocolate cupcake and Fire Island is... RIGHT. THERE.

Doomscrolling all day wasn't good for me. 😕

The ballroom is the breaking bad car wash

Even with all *that,* it has been sunny for nearly two months and it makes me happy.

Heather Cox-Richardson is an American treasure.

Peaceful. Loud. United.

If I'm understanding correctly, Trump just signed the end of 8(a). Devastating for Alaska, Anchorage in particular.

A business in town has dropped the ball on an important project. He whined about his workload and I said, not my problem. He wouldn't look at me. I didn't raise my voice. I was clear about expectations and gave them another week or call it undoable so I can pivot. 10-year old me would be so proud.

Lemurs have very forward-facing eyes, like most predators

Nothing more poetic than Alex Jones going on a disgusting coughing fit directly into the mic for half a minute, then sputtering out, "We're winning"

if there tiktok videos sending up your software, and they go uber-viral because *everyone has experienced your software doing what they're making fun of*, maybe it's, like, bad software?

Perfect snow and temps for Rondy this weekend!

I had not predicted the abundance of ai-generated white people trying to sell me ma-jong apps on TV.

So they're calling a military operation "Epic Fury." Sounds like the ravings of a toddler and well... it is.

One helluva forecast.

It becomes easier, as I get older, to distinguish between news that does not deserve my attention, and news that requires my action.

Cleared a huge hurdle today. Put together a binder of evidence clearly showing that the construction contractor I hired knew about "code," but lied and did tons of work not to code, which must all now be removed and rebuilt. Papers are signed at court, binders filled and mailed, signature required.

I was stressed last night and I ate fried chicken and tater tots for dinner and it was SO worth it.

I am scared. Still, I worked hard today to shine a light on truth and give a voice to justice in my little world. Enough. I did enough for this 24 hours of my life.

I realized to my horror that with all the crypto that he now owns, Rump has more incentive to crash the dollar than not. 😳

Someday I will wear a fancy dress with matching long gloves. Just for fun.

Yes, it's a classic. But, walking with backpacks while wearing thick down jackets... in the rain? Bizarre costuming choice. Filming it must've been miserable.

I have worked with hundreds of Alaskans in 8a-supported Native corporations who voted for Chump, both Native and non-Native. They are just now realizing his racism has no boundaries, to their own downfall. This is devastating to my state, to my city.

Did anyone in Anchorage feel an earthquake last night about 9pm? A long roller?

People on TV with blinding white teeth just look... weird. C'mon folks, you don't need a full RGB 255/255/255. Put down that 20th bleach tray and pick up that yummy cup of coffee. Enjoy.

Judging from the 35 foot flat walk from my home to my shed, avalanche danger is very high around Anchorage. Dense icy crust resting on several inches of fluff. Please be careful out there!

Taking a break from politics, for my health.

I've always felt Minnesotans and Alaskans are siblings. So many from Minnesota live here now. Sending Alaskans to invade Minnesota... wrong, just disturbing on so very many levels. 😕

Breaking: per @abcnews Trump readies 1500 paratroops at Alaska base for possible deployment to Minnesota Reminder to commanders and troops: you are OBLIGATED by your oaths to disobey illegal orders abcnews.go.com/US/live-upda...
