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...

Bluesky will go dark and our voices here will be added to their enemies spreadsheet. Please know I'm grateful for each and every one of you, Alaskans and worldwide. We will simply reconvene somewhere else. Online and in person. I will stand by you. Not going anywhere. There are more of us than them.

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.

Well, those boots were not made for walking

So then... Scott Adams didn't get a medbed after all?

Hmmm, I need to dig out my very loud emergency kayaking whistle. No reason.

Hmm. I keep expecting the -21F forecast on Thursday to change. And it's not. 😬

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.

This is how I'm treating 2025 on its way out

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?

No more Christmas music in stores!

Merry Christmas to everyone whose joy isn't heightened by the misery of others.

Perhaps the internet is simply too leaky for Truth to be imprisoned. Perhaps.

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.

Did anyone get yesterday's wordle?🙄

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 happen to think that Rob Reiner had a much bigger cultural impact than Charlie Kirk did.
