I voted by mail, so no sticker. 😑

I love that I live in a place where the following can be heard at a single party. "You should call the mayor about that" and "the soon-to-be governor fell asleep in my car" (said STBG was NOT drunk)

Vaccine ambush! In a successful sneaky operation at the grocery store today, I got the covid and flu shots without planning ahead. That way I dont worry about needles ahead of time. It doesn't ever hurt, but illogical anxiety is what it is.

Today a woman I don't know came into my home without knocking, walked down the hall and stared at me. I was sitting up in bed. Then she walked out and tried to enter each house down the street in turn. Cops were called, I really hope she gets the help she needs.

You can tell photos and videos are AI because there is usually an uninvolved person in the photo or video watching the action. It's like p*rn.

My facebook algorithm is feeding me videos of cats on sailboats. It's awfully random but I don't hate it.

Bra shopping. I do not get the extravagant efforts to lift and separate. "For who?"

If you can see this post, you said something funny and/or clever. Congratulations and take a bow.

All my wood clamps be clamping. All is right with the world and tomorrow I rise to a bright new day. Wood glue is spectacular.

Rebuilt garage passed MoA electrical inspection! I am unreasonably excited about this. Next, foam. Just in time.

Thoughts on all those political ads: I have lived in Alaska 40 years. This does not make me any "better" than a person who just moved here. Welcome.

@sex---wizard.bsky.social hey it's Anne, we met a couple weeks ago at the meetup in Anchorage? I just posted two large steampunk hordes on marketplace, thought you two might be interested. Thanks.

Had a surprising and delightful day. Super fun.

So stressed, wore my bite guard all day so as not to crack another tooth. 😕. Used the circular saw (perhaps not wise due to aforementioned stress), but did not lob off any body parts. Now I need to snuggle up with Chris Hemsworth. Is he available?😌

"Y'know the thing about a shark, he's got... lifeless eyes, black eyes, like a doll's eyes. When he comes at ya, doesn't seem to be livin'... until he bites ya."

I will not be offering emotional support to anyone else today. I'm out.

The 3 young contractors in my home have music on. Loud. Classical music, like, an orchestra. I don't know anything about anything anymore.

The guy at the postal store today told me he calls all men customers "boss" and all women customers "ladies." I pushed back. He said it wasn't sexist because his bosses are ladies.

"Everyone forgets, Icarus experienced flight. I believe Icarus did not fail, he just came to the end of his triumph." Oof. That hit me. From Roadrunner, the documentary about Anthony Bordain.

Screenshot from the last second of a Yes on 2 ad. Turning a totem pole into a joke. They have no honor.

Nick Begich, that font you're using in your ads does not suggest gravitas. It's giving " small town bingo and potluck" circa 2005

What a treat... I got to meet the Diva dog Revna today, along with a spirited group of Anchorage Bluesky Buddies. Thanks, all!

Nature shows REALLY need some women writers. "The winner of the elk battle claims his reward." Ew. The female animals in these shows don't have agency, nor do they apparently ever get horny. 😑

My court case is not resolved yet (my house was damaged) but a big win in my favor yesterday by the judge. It's excellent progress towards making things right again.

It was a beautiful day in Anchorage. Photo out the window from the most comfortable bed in the world.

Although eye-wateringly expensive, having electricians resolve issues/questions in my old home is so satisfying. I'm so very grateful for the time and skill of the team from Supreme Electric. And now my Christmas lights are powered up 🙂

This morning's storm battered the hell out of the Pea Wall. But I think most survived unbowed. They've reached the eaves. How're your beauties doing?

Didn't sleep last night. Memories and worries.

Passed a man in a parking lot today on my way into a store. Tall older white guy in cowboy hat and cowboy boots, shades, tight denims and zig zaggy western shirt. I had to struggle to stop myself from saying "hi, Tex." I just said "hi." He brought a smile to my face, tho. There's gotta be a story...
