No Kings Juneau Alaska!

I am sick today, so my support for protests means staying at home and wishing I didn't have knives in my throat. Remember protests are for us, for us to see and feel that we're not alone in our opposition to everything that's happening. Love your neighbors & lift some voices to say NO.

Why we peacefully protest: "Reclaim the stage. Publicly [frame] it as a moral emergency, not a political one." LA win conditions. For anyone out protesting this weekend. www.reddit.com/r/chaoticgoo...

another beautiful day in sheet’ka, lingit aani (sitka, alaska)

Are you attending a protest sometime soon? Here are EFF’s tips for how best to prepare one’s digital devices and oneself while exercising your First Amendment rights.

I just called Sullivan's office and actually got a staffer. Alaskans, keep calling your senators: (202) 224-3004 (202) 224-6665

anyone who got on social media after 2014 or so is under the mistaken impression that the primary goal of social media is for it to Accomplish Something while those of us who have been on since the start know the true purpose of social media is to give us a place to Post so we don't go (more) insane

oh dear. i remember al the people and podcasts freaking out about the coming post-truth media environment, and yah

πŸ‘‡πŸŽ― This is the entire answer & I’m not sure why more people can’t/won’t see that. The entire country, Bluesky included, is traumatized by the fascism & evil & the total failure of every one of our societal institutions to meet the moment. Yes, Twitter in the Obama era was more fun. So was democracy.

Oh dear.

one deeply unfortunate problem with the american handwringing over protests against fascism is that we've given french people another reason to make fun of us

"Part of our task in the face of generative AI is to make an argument for the value of thinking – laboured, painful, frustrating thinking." activehistory.ca/blog/2025/06...

When I wanted to start freelancing, as a digital illustrator, the lawyer said to me: ”Yeah! And when your business grows, you can hire more contractors to do the art for you!” That's... Not the point??😭 Did you guys forget small independent businesses used to exist without turning into big corpo?

Also helps to remember that hope is not actually an emotion, it is action engaged consistently. Hope does make space beside itself for all kinds of emotions.

I’ve never forgotten this picture from 2016 and how it completely reshaped my understanding of how the media covers protests.

oof

From the ThΓ©nardiers' reprise, "Beggar at the Feast":

A slightly farcical University of Alaska organizational flow chart published in J. Kathleen Stewart's 1984 Alaska Pacific U master's thesis on college organization structures. It was informed by years of mismanagement, turmoil, & byzantine organization. #alaskahistory #alaska
