The Medium is a spooky scary opera, and Anchorage Opera’s production ratchets up the creepy to 11. Come see it! Nov 6, 8, and 9 at the PAC. #anchorage #alaska #anchoragealaska #alaskalife #ak #anchorageak #wasilla #travelalaska #downtownanchorage #explorealaska #thealaskalife #alaskasky

One Battle After Another is a fantastic movie, in which the U.S. military-police state are the bad guys (unlike in real life) and in which the aforementioned military-police state is underwritten and in league with white supremacists and right-wing militiamen (also unlike real life). Very fictional!

Anchorage Opera’s The Medium | Gianni Schicchi will be a treat for the eyes and ears. Spooky, funny, with gorgeous singing. #anchorage #alaska #anchoragealaska #alaskalife #ak #anchorageak #wasilla #travelalaska #eagleriver #downtownanchorage #explorealaska #alaskaadventure #thealaskalife #art

“Two morons” is absolutely my favorite genre of comedy and that is why I am so pleased to have recently discovered the entire back catalog of “On Cinema.” Bless u, @timheidecker.bsky.social

Gianni Schicchi is a tale of family politics gone mad; a scheming family tries to falsify a dead relative’s will, with surprising results. Come see Anchorage Opera’s production, November 6,8 and 9! anchorageopera.org/2025-2026-se... #anchorage #alaska #anchorageak #anchoragealaska #alaskasky #arts

If you’re in Anchorage, you cannot miss Gianni Schicchi and The Medium, a fantastic double bill of two one-acts on Nov 6, 8, and 9. #anchorage #alaska #anchoragealaska #alaskalife #ak #anchorageak #wasilla #travelalaska #eagleriver #downtownanchorage #explorealaska #thealaskalife #art

Just Anchorage things!

Watching Pam Bondi answer questions in a Senate hearing reminds me so strongly of the classic Miss South Carolina video. Can’t believe she is the US’ chief law enforcement officer (or earned a law degree). www.youtube.com/watch?v=lj3i...

Bruins look good. 24-7 lead over Mich St coming back from halftime. Let’s go Bruins!! #ucla #losangeles #uclabruins #la #uclafootball #hollywood #bruins #gobruins #westwood #uclabound #uclaalumni #college #california

Congress yesterday overruled Department of Interior’s carefully-developed Central Yukon Management Plan. Needless “break everything” mentality on the part of GOP.

Did u know that the XCX in Charli XCX stands for eXpired Cambodian Xanax

Can’t believe huge upset, Bruins beat Penn St yesterday. Sad that, having already written off the Bruins, I didn’t even bother watching what sounds like it was an amazing game. Sounds like Jerry Neuheisel was the hero as interim offensive coordinator. Go Bruins!

Core memory: the smell and feel of the air in one of these Crew Quarter rooms, when it is wintry outside but warm within, and the air inside the room smells like coffee from the hot cup thereof you’ve brought in. First experienced that exact sensation 12 years ago, and it’s very distinct.

Aurora reflected

Comey indictment, ICE malfeasance in Chicago, ¿1800 missing from “Alligator Alcatraz”: worst timeline. Shocked how many Americans want fascism explicitly. Not shocked the overall system has trended this way (read good theorization on capitalism->fascism pipeline).

Travel back to my remote home: 3.5-hr flight from Seattle to Alaska. 2 days of waiting while we wait for some transport to become available out to the lodge. Ride up on day 3 with the grocery run: about a ~9hr truck ride.

Currently in Seattle, role with Vashon Opera (in Cendrillon). Home base still AK (work tourism, dig wilderness, practice music). Rn reading Pynchon’s “V.” & McPhee’s “Coming Into the Country” (try to read 1 fiction + 1 nonfiction at any time).

Excited for college football to return (shocking any person who knew me prior to like the last 3 years of my life). Let’s go Bruins tonight vs the Utes.

As a trained musician, nothing pisses me off more than the “432 Hz is healing” shit

If your Twin Peaks fandom does not make room for both Windom Earle and Chet Desmond, if your Twin Peaks theory does not weave in both Desmond, Earle and the events of the Mark Frost Books, your fandom is not truly intersectional and you are at best a partial ally #dobetter

Traveling Canada’s Dempster Highway was a hoot and a half 7/4/25-7/6/25

Just finished Samuel Delaney’s ‘Dhalgren.’ Someone commiserate with me. #dhalgren #scifi #sciencefiction

I feel like Deleuze and Guattari probably smoked a lot of weed. #happy420 #theorysky #deleuze

Once more unto the Interfolio… #academicsky

Super proud of UCLA women. Jaquez is a beast—“all gas Gabs”! Amazing stretch when Betts was on the bench and they still ran the floor!

If you're participating in the economic blackout today, that's great! But please, consider avoiding all these companies as much as you can moving forward. These overly rich companies are directly harming all of us. We need solidarity to build a better economy with better wealth distribution.
