Trump and Musk share a commonality of somehow being both quite clever and extremely dumb which I (and others) have found confusing. I have a model that has been working. I think they’re both clever guys with extremely narrow worldviews.

Oh look 👀 What a surprise, Alaska is in the bottom 10 for homeownership for under 35 year olds.

The thing about rights is, they're unalienable. Absolute. Universal. If even one person doesn't have them, none of us do. It doesn't matter how different that person is from you.

No lawmaker in Congress should be able to own, buy, and sell individual stocks. We need to ban congressional stock trading—and I've got a bill for that.

It’s weird* that the president can just decide to put a huge tax on American businesses without congress even being a little bit involved. * very unconstitutional

Pete Buttigieg breaks down DEI for everyday folks… “The opposite of diversity is uniformity. The opposite of equity is inequity. The opposite of inclusion is exclusion.” @petebuttigieg.bsky.social Our problem: too many value uniformity over inclusion and they’re the ones running the government. 🧵

Please keep writing. In the face of fucktastrophe after fucktastrophe. Please keep putting your heart on the page and sharing. Don’t let them take that as well.

We are experiencing an assault on science unparalleled by anything I’ve seen in my life. It’s not one issue or another anymore, the entire institution is under attack by the most powerful individuals in the country. This Friday, where will you be? standupforscience2025.org

Hey, artists, in case you were wondering if your work matters: I'm a scientist working on climate change and biodiversity, and I would not be who I am today without The Lorax, The Secret of NIMH, Watership Down, The Last Unicorn, and The X-Files. I know I'm not alone. Thank you for all you do.

My little sister is so talenteddd

This is long overdue.

The demonization & insurmountable cost of higher education, dwindling public school budgets, banning books, poverty wages for educators, bastardization of the term "research," eroding the arts & humanities: these are calculated efforts to keep you dumb & voting against your own interests.

Yeah, so, turns out when we let a small elite consolidate all of the wealth and power, it leaves us with faltering programs and infrastructure, a growing number of people in poverty, and corrupt leadership uninterested in the will or welfare of the people. Shocking, really.

My scruffy pupper, Toby, is 13 today! 🎂🎈🎁 (This was literally the best photo I could get because he NEVER stops moving. 😅)

AK’s kids & residents keep getting told to “do more with less.” We’re in “drill baby drill” mode & yet still we grovel to oil corps & give them tax breaks when we own the resource? Isn’t this a seller’s market? Why is our govnt letting corporations “do less with more?” Explain it to me like I’m 5.

The #1 reported reason people avoid doctor’s appointments is because they’re afraid of finding out they have a serious illness. If you have that fear, that’s normal and you’re not alone. Also remember, there is basically no serious illness that isn’t less serious if you catch it sooner.

The poems in this book are so deft, so layered, so beautiful. You won't be able to get them out of your head, and you won't want to. I know that I'll be returning to @akwenstrup.bsky.social's work again and again. It's brilliant! Get yourself a copy, pronto!

It’s fun starting a new hobby with ADHD because I never know if I’ve found a new lifelong passion or if I’m going to spend $2000 on stuff and immediately lose all interest

Yes, this.

I interrupt your doomscrolling to bring even more doom. January 2025 was the warmest January on record globally - breaking the January record set just last year.

Beautiful

Good news: my Redbubble account was found to be wrongly suspended, and has been reinstated! So, here is your #PhotoPhriday post a day late! Every Friday, I upload a new photo from my adventures! Prints and more here: www.redbubble.com/people/jenst...

In children per year, the US birth rate is at an all-time low, but in Miles’ per hour it’s at an all time high.

January 24th was one of the warmest days on record in Alaska during the month of January (1950-present). According to ERA5-Land, the statewide average was 26.7F above the 1991-2020 normal. Much of the northern half of the state was 40F to 50F+ above normal. @alaskawx.bsky.social

Some bad news: my Redbubble account was mysteriously suspended today while I was uploading my #PhotoPhriday post. I've submitted an appeal, but according to the automated email, it could be two weeks before I find out if it will be reinstated. 🥺

Aurora is out this morning!

Yesterday, someone in an online game said it was "cold," and when asked, revealed it was *gasp* 50°F. (For perspective, it's -5°F here....)

Trump isn't going to do anything to improve U.S. healthcare. That industry is already working as intended: raking in billions in profits at the expense of the lower classes. Trump wants every other facet of society to also work that way.

I respect any videogame that tells me the world is ending but lets me go fishing

Tons of people are talking about Hegseth's behavior (as they should), but not enough people are talking about the fact that the man is NOT *REMOTELY* FUCKING QUALIFIED??
