Anthroposcreaming into the void

Glorious hike with a truly lovely human today. Appreciate the moments of levity despite all the shit in the world. (Bird Ridge outside of Anchorage, Alaska for those wondering)

Wishing everyone a happy Lucy Dacus album drop today!

The true number of infected is likely *much much* higher due the relatively long incubation period averaging 11-12 days. Even then early measles symptoms mimic other common viral illness and most won't think it's measles until a rash develops - typically 14 days post exposure.

“ACAB includes…” Babe, we’re living in a police state now… everything is computer, everything is cop

I appreciate the ACLU as much as the next person. But the ongoing "know your rights" content they are pushing feels out of touch. Previously held "rights" no longer exist. "How to resist and avoid arrest" see more pertinent. The rules of the game have changed and we must adjust accordingly.

I officially have 4 friends who have tangible plans and a date to emigrate from the US due to political environment. Know indirectly of friends of friends who've left the country. 
I haven't seen much reporting on it yet but curious anecdotally - Do y'all know anyone who has or is fleeing the US?

So high I just gave the little floater in my eye a whole identity and a character arc.

sry I didn’t text u back, I was in international waters

As a longtime Alaskan and former longtime smoker I welcome this news.

An AI misgendered me after making post-publication changes to subheadlines in a national media outlet. Not on my 2025 bingo card but here we are. What a time to be alive. (After phone call with the standards editor today it has been fixed)

we’re starting to see evidence of news outlets retroactively detransitioning contributors to their publications — as in, stories were published under correct pronouns initially but have quietly changed to misgender the authors.

I'm not giving up hope. There are still plenty of scenarios in which they could remain stuck in space.

There's just no fucking way we actually put humans on the moon 56 years ago

Just looking at a map there is no way Trump doesn't seize the Baja Peninsula.

If Paul McCartney dies first, Ringo should immediately announce a new lineup of the Beatles

Train heists are back, baby!

The people of a city that has to preemptively grease its light poles automatically have my utmost respect. 🫡

December, 34 AD: “I miss Jesus.” “I’m gonna bring a tree into the house. He would’ve loved that shit.”

happy solstice all!

1:48PM so little light. so close to solstice

Real quote from a parent of a toddler shot in a mass shooting. "Toddlers are funny because they can get shot but still want to run around and play. We are thanking God for that." If those two sentences don't summarize American culture I don't know what does. (From a shooting in Texas in 2019)

This is either the height of consumerist excess or a genuine effort to democratize investing in alternative asset classes.

millennials are the best generation bc we ate the perfect amount of microplastics

Grinding this week

Friendly reminder that there is no medication to treat or cure polio You either get better or you don't I'm personally investing *heavily* in iron lung futures markets

fred flintstone was the first ever man to become a vitamin

If the Tiktok ban goes through Gen Z is going to make January 6th look like a tea party.

Happy anniversary to all who celebrate! If Al-Zaidi’s on here thank you for the birthday gift, it brings joy every time I look at it.

revolution is imminent. godspeed, furby collective. godspeed

Big loss for access to abortion, gender affirming care, and other sexual/repro health services in Juneau and Alaska more generally. 😔

Long Furby is my Roman Empire
