An Alaskan through the looking glass, witnessing with unease impossible things I believed before breakfast coming true.

oh just a thought if your plan for overthrowing the Iranian government depends on the Iranian public rising up, you likely shouldn't have defunded the American government run news agency that speaks in Farsi.

Happy #AardvarkWeek Tilli!

Get ready to giggle, our girl Tilli is slurping up grub at lightning speed in this hilarious video. That loooong, sticky tongue is built for business, and she puts it to work, along with her oversized ears, adorable sniffer, and powerful digging claws.

Hitting home. Visiting Seattle and looking for local chocolatiers for gifts for a friend’s bday. My top three choices have all closed in the past year, citing costs.

A photo of an ice cream machine with a sign reading, "Anything is possible with ice cream." Beneath that is a hand lettered sign reading, "No ice cream".

Good grief. Everyone knows they were just friends.

A very long time ago I almost became a kindergarten teacher. I value this age. They throw tantrums one minute and are best friends the next. So emotionally transparent, genuine and with no filters. I wish I could live everyday like a 4/5 year old! So free. 💕

Graffiti on a boarded-up window reads "NO BARKING" with the top of a car visible in the foreground.

i think they’re being overly optimistic regarding the canine literacy rate

I dunked a cookie in my tea this morning. Held it under until the bubbles stopped. Thought of you.

I'm not going to ask if you're doomscrolling. Everything is hard right now. But you still need to eat some food, drink a glass of water, as well as time to rest and recover.

Try not to stay up too late tonight. Sleep deprivation will make everything you need to do harder, including helping others.

Love that age!! My gremlins have now taught themselves to also open house doors, crate doors, assist with moving snow (true!), ward off ravens, bring shoes to the door when they want to go out, and steal pillows.

Fuck! (intj) Fuck (n) can be used in many fucking (adj) ways. It’s the only fucking (adj) word you can fucking (adv) put every fucking (adj) where and still make fucking (adj) sense. e.g. That fucking (adj) fucker (pron) fucking (adv) fucked (v) us.

But that’s still only 6 of 8 parts of speech…

A favorite photo from 2025: A sunset walk at low tide with my ♥️ dog after a particularly stressful day. No news. No crowds. No demands. Just the elements and a friend.

a small lake, surrounded on both sides by trees, a cloudy sky, some rocks under a sign that says, crocodiles, do not swim here.

This is why grammar and punctuation is important 🤣

The Egyptian! Glad it’s seeing use. Last movie I saw there was Titanic. 🫣 But I love how it’s become a performance space.

Juneauites - our friend just shared that a friend of theirs had been walking their dog just north of the ND roundabout when someone fired a pellet gun at the dog. Dog is ok. Had a cold weather jacket on. Was reported to JPD. Vehicle was a black ford. Be safe out there.
