Is this how much the United States hates women?? Even, obviously, the women of the United States hate women? How f’ing depressing

Maybe THIS will be the dumbest thing I read today: Florida’s education commissioner announced Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice as a book of the month to “highlight the importance of American pride.”

Was recently regaling friends with children in daycare with the fact that in 1993, several Clinton appointees’ nominations were sunk by revelations that they didn’t pay employment taxes on their nannies.

That’s what used to qualify as a great big DC scandal.

Ha! True!

Hmmm 🤔

The latest season of True Detective on HBO Max ended perfectly this week. And two of Alaska’s best actors, Diane Benson and Yaari Walker, both Alaska Native women, have nice meaty roles. Such a thrill to see them both!

Paxlovid Cuts Covid Death Risk. But Those Who Need It Are Not Taking It. With Covid deaths rising to about 1,500 per week, researchers question why Paxlovid use has remained low among high-risk patients.

This is a photo of the Bridge of the Gods in Oregon.

I’ve wanted to see The Bridge of the Gods in Oregon ever since I first read about it years ago in “Wild” by Cheryl Strayed. It did not disappoint. My wonderful son drove me there today and took this great photo. The clouds and mist just made it all the more beautiful.

Wow I'm shocked that "return abortion to the states" turned out to be an obvious lie and in fact Republicans generally have zero interest in the public having any input on their rights and specifically want to criminalize abortion nationwide.

Such a photogenic place! After I was born in Anchorage we moved to Bothell for a few years. My playground was a giant evergreen stump in our yard and a little creek from which I was always grabbing pollywogs to try to “grow” a frog in my bedroom. Never worked!!

Well, dammit. RIP to Andre Braugher, one of the greatest actors — and perhaps THE greatest talker — TV has ever seen.

Lots of aurora at my house tonight (and early, too, which is nice)

Ah. Makes sense!

Me too. It was just delicious tv.

Well, not necessarily, but it was a great show with my favorite actor, Donal Logue. It was incredibly well written and acted. I still miss it. (I can’t remember why it was called Terriers, come to think of it!)

Terriers was perfect in every way.

Gorgeous!

Rachel Maddow posed a trenchant question: how likely is it that a Jim Jordan-led House would certify an election that Trump lost?

Take care of yourself, friend. That’s what matters.

I get it. It’s an awful place. But I also still love parts of it. Hard to leave.
