oh my gosh the Met gala is NOT the hunger games made into dystopian reality, people! it is an annual fundraiser for the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute! I, for one, am pleased that famous people pay too much for their tickets and peacock around so that a museum can remain funded

don’t let the twee little cultural trends of our time blind you to the fact that Millennials are broke, feral hustlers who learned all of our survival skills from Gen X (the forgotten generation hiding in an alley, being ignored, smoking cigs and listening to the good music)

In Alaska, there’s an annual sled dog race called the Iditarod where mushers race 938 miles from Anchorage to Nome with a team of 12-16 sled dogs. This year, there’s an indigenous woman competitor named Jody Potts-Joseph who decked her team out in beadwork for the big race kickoff and I’m obsessed 🤩

Our federal government killed a disabled genocide survivor and is covering up for a child rapist. And that is just today’s news. It is just unconscionable to be treating this as normal or acceptable in any way. www.investigativepost.org/2026/02/25/b...

I got so mad about what this administration is doing that I jumped on the treadmill and ran a mile as fast as I could. And I (usually) hate running with all my heart. I hate what’s happening more.

it is your DUTY as a parent to be basic and cringe. if your child says "6-7" and you do not say, loud enough for their friends to hear, "8-9?", causing profound silence and intense discomfort, you are neglecting your responsibilities. being cool is for kids. your days of being laughed WITH are over

A year ago, I became an L&D nurse. I didn’t know how to stop a hemorrhage or resuscitate a newborn, but I learned. I keep count of my deliveries with a bead jar: 🩷 for girls, 🩵 for boys, and 🤍 for my angel babies. I have 120+ deliveries under my belt and it’s just super cool to have a job I love 🫙

My first protest was a union strike with my dad at age 10 (my future high school teacher got run over by a scab). I marched during different administrations, phone banked, attended meetings, etc…the online do-nothings complaining about protests not being perfect enough for THEIR liking are my enemy.

I found a 19th century Cat Villain!
A huge chonk of a fluffy cat sitting on a table near an open fire. The cat is cream and grey and appears to be shaped like a barrel in a fur coat. They are scowling fiercely with their moustache and bewhiskered ears apparently flowing back into the cold wind. There's a definite vibe that this villainous cat twirls their moustache as they evict orphans into the aforementioned blizzard and think Scrooge was an easy-going lightweight. They are magnificent.

As we get closer to the end of aurora season here in Anchorage, the northern sky will begin to glow orange at night since the sun will go less below the horizon. This was mid April 2021, one of the later dates that I've photographed the aurora. Send clear skies.
