Circa 1950s/60s Lindgren-Turner decal of Anchorage. This Spokane-based company made similar colorful stickers for states, national parks, monuments, and cities that were common gift shop and truck stop fodder for decades. #alaskahistory #alaska #anchoragehistory

yep, they're still at it in LA and Portland too

the media is gonna be like "time for a new narrative" and it's so important to keep talking about how none of the cities they invaded have become more safe since the spotlight shifted away from them

I hope the feds in our group chat enjoy spending the weekend taking online assessments to see if they have adhd

Chadwick Boseman and James van der Beek both died in their 40s of an illness that's treatable if a colonoscopy catches it but almost no insurer covers them for people under 45, this is what Engels meant by "social murder"

And one of the kestrels picked up a quick dinner!! 🐁 It was very adorable, I love birds so much...

We also stopped by the (free, but always accepting donations!) Glen Helen Raptor Center while we were out that way hiking, and one of the owls was just chatty chatty chatty, but only when I talked first, so maybe she was just telling me to shut up. Cute!! 🦉

something from minnesota that i would like people to learn, that i don’t think is hitting people yet:

helping MN is good. people need it. but people in your community need mutual aid too. care. resources. food. outside of times of crisis.

and you can help.

A screenshot of a post on X (formerly Twitter) by the account "Libs of TikTok." The text of the post reads: "LGBTQ protestors in NYC took down the US flag and raised a Pride rainbow flag in its place despite Trump's orders. The American flag was then put up alongside the Pride flag amid disapproval from the crowd. This is a clear violation of Trump's orders." Below the text is a video thumbnail credited to "Oliya Scootercaster" and "FREEDOMNEWS.TV." The image shows a large crowd of people gathered in a city park area with bare trees and brownstone buildings in the background. In the center, a Pride rainbow flag and an American flag are being flown together on a single flagpole, with the American flag positioned above the Pride flag. Several people in the crowd are holding smaller Pride flags and recording the scene with their phones.

Cry more.

Crisis and Backlash How Trump's agenda will ultimately fail, and upend American politics.

On 2028: "The economic situation will make neoliberalism seem woefully out of touch to most voters, particularly the growing progressive alliance of Hispanics and economically disaffected people from the cities and blighted suburbs. This means that the winner will be a Progressive."

I have an eye appointment to renew my contact lens prescription today and I have decided not to shave just to protect cis feelings. As I have often said, God doesn't promise pretty/It's not illegal to be ugly!

I'm making art!

Legal status doesn’t matter: if you exceed ICE’s melanin threshold, you get snatched. It is ethnic cleansing. There is no other word for it.

The news has shown you video of these often violent detentions. What you don’t see is what happens to these individuals after.

I’ve had a front row seat.

I don’t really know what I expect in posting this, but maybe some people see it and can learn from it.

I’ll call it “lessons from an unwilling immigration attorney.”

whenever i bring up that trans men are quietly banned from playing sports, i am told that this isnt happening. yes, you havent heard about this because *its quiet* lmfao.

Wilson's snipe, Merritt Island NWR, Florida. I saw way more of these birds in one day in Merritt Island than I'd previously seen in my life, probably a hundred or more. It was hard to get a good picture, though, since they're small, shy, and mostly in the grass.

Our neighborhood has a lot of overly friendly deer, but the latest celebrity is a piebald that has dwarfism, and we've all been rooting for them. They were born in June extremely small, and now they've survived the January snowstorms with their sisters.. 💕🦌

Tastefully seductive 💕 🪱

A text exchange. Blue bubble: Did you tell them they could eat in the tub? Grey bubble: No!

Our kid: I want something to eat
Me: You can have something to eat when you get out of the tub.
Our kid: I want something to eat IN the tub
Me: You are not eating in the tub.
Our kid: Abba said I could.
Me: He did? I’ll ask him. (Starts typing)
Our kid: No!! Don’t! DON’T!!!

I found one at Sierra that was on discount, but I know all the stores don't necessarily carry the same thing. The brand is BTinesFul. It's basically just climbing rope + rubber lol (I am adding RHINO carabiners because I'm gay/don't trust tiny metal latches not to break in some annoying way)

*specifically because the Kurgo car harness, the only one even close to rated for his weight, has to latch by you reaching under and around your dog -- when their undercarriage is covered in mud, it's less than ideal, so I just leave his car harness on a little looser... Win/win.

A large dog looking very happy on top of playground equipment

Omgosh his happy little face. Today I was laying on top of him with my face half-buried in his mane and my arm wrapped around him -- and he stretched and mooed -- and a lady near us startled and said "Oh my God, I thought that was a giant toy!!"

Also he's wearing his car harness because MUD SEASON

Also I finally found a 20ft leash that I like -- he's perfect off leash but this gives me the ability to not get yelled at by random rich people -- and we've learned that with more freedom he will choose to play on all the playgrounds by himself, I think he has the husky instinct to be Up High. 🐺
