Rest easy, Robert Redford. Thank you for your example of what to do with privilege.

this is, hands down, the best video I've seen on men's influencer content and it's not close either

I'm tired of riding the roller coaster of trump's narcissistic wounds.

Just because people freak out about national events, doesn't mean you have to respond by freaking out. Breathe. Live a day in your own body. See/hear what's happening in your own life. The world will spin, either way.

Picked up a cool gigantic platter at a local thrift store today. Turns out it's 150 years old. :)

I have spoken American English for many many decades, yet Connections usually befuddles me.

They locked us out of the mini crossword. 😕

Our government, from bottom to top, is raising risk for all of us to an alarming level. It's our money, not theirs. When it all crashes, we will take the hit and have to clean up. Classic abusive relationship with an addict.

North Country Knives downtown did a great job of sharpening my old cast iron scissors. Still... that place is extraordinary stabby.

Shop vacs are awesome.

I love old people. That is all.

Congrats? We Anchorage folks are now on stamps, sold on eBay, from Ukraine. ebay.us/m/LFu0z9

I hate truck commercials. Using a low, gravelly voice to convince men they shouldn't "settle" for "less" than "dominating" backcountry... weather... whatever... is an empty promise. The vast majority will end up with a huge loan and stuck in traffic with the rest of us. And lonelier than ever.

The largest Ukrainian flag in the world is on its way to Anchorage and we need your help to set it up! 1:30 pm | Park Strip (H Street) | Friday afternoon. #AlaskaStandsWithUkraine #SlavaUkraine #AlaskaVisit

Your 401K, if you have one, is probably more bound with this Jenga of a stock market than you think. Might be worth taking a look.

Hey world, I no longer have the pouty lips of a teenager. Get over it. I have.

Stephen Colbert is going SCORCHED EARTH right now. To RFK Jr: “Fuck you, you roid-addled nepo carnie! Fuck you, you roadkill-munching Luddite human slim jim!”

Nothing motivates like avoiding doing something really difficult. The upside is I got the shed totally cleaned out today! Yay!

Discovered the icy equivalent of Mordor this week in SE AK. Just then, the arch dropped into the sea, locking the souls inside to wail forever.

Hey Alaska airports, it's time to retire the taxidermy and the "shot by..." plaques. Please.

Ghislane will testify against the democrats that visited the island, but not the republicans (Rump), then Rump will pardon her in return.

White fireweed, Anchorage.

I did a friend a favor and he insisted on returning it, asked me what I'd like. ".5 lb of poke please," I texted. He just showed up at my door with five pounds of poke. 😁🐟

Rumor has it that JK Rowling's mega yacht is in Homer today and Seward yesterday.

I've been thinking about the Alaska mystique and the term "a simple life." It gets applied to rural life exclusively, but I don't buy that. I'm not convinced rural life is necessarily simpler, we can live simply in a large community. What does "simple life" mean? Fewer people fewer possessions?

Do Bluesky AK folks ever do group in-person activities? Maybe we should! Picnic in front of the Kincaid chalet? Who's in?

I don't have skin cancer. But I have a lot of sun damage from when I was a kid. Treating it now means my face temporarily looks 20 years older, and I need to hide from the sun for a couple days. I may just mow my yard wearing a burka. Time is short, grass is long.

A shout out to all No Kings patriots, especially in Alaska's smaller communities. Standing up/out takes courage. Integrity. We see you!

Saturday's protest is a time for us allies to be heard. Too many POC will justifiably be afraid of attending for risk of arrest or deportation, citizens or not. It's time to show them we see them, and we care enough to put ourselves at risk. Time to do the right thing. We're needed.

I've been getting calls all day from Outside. One, I answered. They asked me to call my senators to vote against the budget bill. I did. The other callers didn't leave a message. Y'all also?

Grebes are most closely related to flamingos.

So, two insurrections so far. Got it.

With all the wind Anchorage has had, my peas are unusually stout. Only about half the peas I planted in late March came up, but the survivors are looking great.

Weekday urban forage.

Resident Alien is very silly. Hits the spot. 👽

Apparently the whole 12-pack of fizzy waters I got from Freddie's are VERY explosive.

Start where you are.

Making a 4x recipe of rendang tomorrow. Gathering the long list of ingredients. 3 grocery stores today plus Summit Spice tomorrow for the aromatics. Some pleasures deserve full expression.

My heroes this week are the men and women telling their experiences who are risking P Diddy's well funded revenge.

45 years ago, I worked at Marineland. When crowds were thin, the two bored orcas, Orky & Corky, would stop, eye to eye through underwater windows. They calmed a very anxious young girl. Last year, I found out Corky was still alive! On Sunday, I went to Sea World and found her. Wiped away a few tears

If you are struggling on this Mother’s Day, may these words be the flowers that you wait for, or the call that won't come, or the conversation that you can't have, or the reunion that has not yet arrived. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/for-those-...

You don't have to be extraordinary. Full stop.

Frightseeing Alaska. Because the worst experiences make the best stories.
