The number of people in Alaska who are outraged at the need for a passport when they cross into Canada (a foreign and sovereign nation) is boggling.
Especially considering how many of these same people have opinions on the borders of the United States.

Teach your children about Johnny Telephoneseed
before mobiles we used to plant phones along the road and the youngsters won't even believe me
“Grandpa is it true you used to have to print driving directions from a website onto paper?”
Grandpa paused. *Should I tell them about _going to an office_ to pick up a AAA triptych?*
Finally, he said, “Sure. We printed all kinds of things.”

I’m Scandinavian death cleaning and finding some things I’m not quite ready to dispose of.
But I do like the grouping of my UA medal (got an award), my WorldCon ribbon and the badge on a lanyard from the time I was designated as Media at a UAF event. I did use hashtags at the event!

When someone engages in addiction transfer activities such as going from alcoholism to ultra running it's fascinating how many are cool with the change in compulsive activity but don't follow through to address the issues that drive compulsion. Eh, gotta get that dopamine one way or another.

So my girlfriend is an amazing stop motion animator, and she recently did a medieval cat themed bumper for Adult Swim!
Sharing it here because she only has Instagram and I think everyone needs to see her animations. She's so freaking talented, y'alls. PLEASE go follow her!
