Trump is a pedophile (this is not new news). Trump should be in prison until he dies there. And so should Musk. And so should Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor And many, many others. Corrupt, powerful garbage. Pedophiles control the world. #epsteinfiles

Been making a lil protest art. Still sending the White House anti-Trump & anti-ICE postcards whenever I need to blow off steam. #protestart #art #noice #iceout #fdt

This is Boots (Pacific Crest Middle Sister) who is my new sport mix pal. She’s foxhound x Italian greyhound and she’s just over 1yr old. She gets along great with Soar and he’s so happy to have a sister. Boots is enough of a sighthound that she fits my aesthetic haha #sportdog #dog #goodgirl

I woke up to a 6.0 earthquake shaking my bed on Thanksgiving morning! It was crazy! The storms weren’t bad here in Anchorage. We did get a wind storm tho, that kinda sucked.

I do forage, but I absolutely do know what I’m doing and will not eat anything that I cannot 100% identify with certainty. Chicken of the woods, king boletes, oysters, etc. it takes a lot of experience and a mind for biology and nature to forage safely.

I moved across the street over the past couple of days to a freestanding house (was in a triplex before) and I now have a private fenced yard, a washer/dryer, a bigger kitchen, and basement storage.

Yeah - happens a lot with the iPhone. I have a ton of photos where my 12lb cat looks bigger than he does. Case in point:

It’s 35° and snowing right now in Anchorage, I’m going to the grocery store dressed like I am from Portland. I think I look cute! It’s not like I am going to be walking around in snowbanks or anything #Alaska #Oregon

9:25am sunrises are still fascinating to my southern-raised brain! It’s only gonna get weirder from here but I kind of love it. Yes I’m taking vitamin D and have bright lights in my house! #alaska

My friend is flying in to visit me for the weekend on Friday. The government is still shut down and air traffic controllers received partial paychecks this week. Shit has been bad for a long time but it’s about to get much worse. #FDT

If I can go full send 5.9 and 5.10 and I haven’t climbed in a year…the climbs are over-rated lol. #rockclimbing #climber #indoorclimbing #climbinggym

You were extremely reactive to my completely normal response, that’s on you, not me. 🙂

Reading my comment over and over again and I cannot fathom how you interpreted that I was insulted. What a crazy reply.

Whoa whoa I was just saying the location, I was perfectly calm and enjoying the conversation as i literally don’t remember the exact location. What is your deal? 😳

Rin @soarandexplore.bsky.social · 24/10/2025
I’m pretty sure it was near the Oregon coast but it could also be Washington. 🤣 I can’t remember everywhere I’ve been.
