My husband baked a Meyer lemon pie. He doesn't bake, so this was a big deal. An old high school friend sent him a box of lemons from California. Also a big deal. Thank you. Thank you. #ME2AK #MeyerLemonPie #HusbandBakes #Friendship

It’s indefensible because Alaska Governor Dunleavy can find $28.5 million dollars to subsidize a ferry for a mine that nobody wants but he’s got no money for your kid’s school. #akleg
Alaska lawmakers are blasting the administration of Gov. Dunleavy for advancing a new ferry terminal north of Juneau that lacks support from residents of the communities that the project is meant to serve. www.adn.com/politics/ala...

Social media marketing is just spam in my inbox. Everyone who's collecting emails before I can read your stuff, even for free, just stop. My Google storage is full, and I'm not paying them for more. One or two emails a month is enough. Nobody can read all that. #StopSpammingMe

First time drawing with charcoal. Thank you #mkmac and #FriendsOfTheAlaskanSLAM for the #SketchingInTheMuseum series. This simple sketch was also a good perspective practice.

The new model of US free market economics; only companies authorised by him (following a generous donation) are “allowed” to operate. And the irony is, there appears little appetite from most companies given up front costs & limited returns. Helps explain why so many of Trump’s businesses went bust.

TY @ThatWordChat!
Timely talk about AI as it relates to writing and editing. A few ideas that resonated with me:
1. AI is math, not intelligence.
2. AI doesn't sense or understand.
3. Many benefits & many concerns with AI.
4. Sustainable/energy requirements of AI is a big problem.

Boycott Walgreens. Bah humbug!
After buying it for $18.8 billion, Walgreens' new private equity owner has eliminated paid holidays for all hourly workers on Christmas and New Year's.
Last year, Walgreens had a CEO-to-Worker pay gap of 410 to 1.
Corporate greed that would make even Scrooge blush.

It’s been two weeks since ICE took Yuanxin Zheng from his father. He is six years old. He’s still not home. This has to end.
