A cruise ship arrived in Seward on Friday with a dead endangered fin whale on its bow, NOAA Fisheries said. The carcass of the adult female whale — which was pregnant, based on initial findings — was towed to an area beach for a necropsy. www.adn.com/alaska-news/...

I love seeing unconventional and maybe even downright "weird" couples. The couples that make you raise an eyebrow and wonder how they fit together because then I smile as I realize that my capacity for imagination has expanded. Anything is possible and there is hope.

In full swing of a shutdown. I'm lucky that I don't live paycheck to paycheck, but my greatest fear is losing my job. Sometimes, I feel like I wouldn't mind taking a detour in my career -try something different, take a break. But isn't the job market dismal now? Can I work in a cozy bookstore?

Guess who's coming to town? 🤢 HOW does repressing all forms of energy production such as wind and solar in favor of a less diverse portfolio consisting of only oil, gas, and coal EQUAL sustainable energy??? I also read the comments on Must Read Alaska. God, those ppl are dumb as hell.

TMI I'm on a new BC after years of avoiding it. Today, I had a sudden episode of pelvic pain, nausea, and chills. Then, about an hour afterwards or so, I passed what I think was a decidual cast. It was the BIGGEST blood clot, I'd ever seen. Women have it rough & we still have to get through the day.

Week 11 of no bullet email. Leadership assured us that since we have lost people, we would be adjusting so that as a whole we're not trying to do the same amount of work with less people, but I'm getting assigned tasks already that I have no idea how to do and was definitely above my pay grade.

One of our state leads decided to take the Fork 2.0, & I'm a little sad that they're abandoning ship. I think they did a good job of bringing us all together & they were supportive. I never felt looked down upon even when I made a mistake. I'm also surprised b/c they seemed dedicated to the prog.
