I should have saved this for Mother's Day. 😅

Happy Mother's day to all those wonderful mothers.
It looks like mamma and baby moose pooh in the backyard. So cute!

Maybe like 20+ years ago my dad had me do a report on this & it involved more than one drunk rambling on his part but hey maybe he was just ahead of his time

Life has been so full I'm noticing I'm just going through the motions. On my way solo to Sitka for the yaaw ḵoo.éex' & am early for the first time this week. Here for what comes my way this weekend!

Started process to buy family property in Wasilla, long story but

3 of the owners want us to do it so they can buy out the 4th and be done w/ him & and we've gotta do this or move out and walk away from what we've put in over 6 years

Lots of dynamics & likely more to come. Send strength

If you’re willing to expunge all mention of things you “stand for” at the slightest threat from fascists, did you ever stand for those things at all or were you maybe just doing performative bullshit like many of us suspected?

No one has ever—EVER—made any kind of “deal” with Trump and come out ahead. NO ONE. How do big law firms (whose currency is risk) and elite universities not get that? In addition to being pathetic and cowardly, capitulating to Trump and making “deals” with him is just bad business & a shitty bet.

I'm trans (nonbinary), Indigenous, and direct a Federal "DEI" grant for a Tribal entity.

Finding a lot of strength in the absurdity of these times and trust that the ancestors have seen all this shit and more.

Much love all.

I'm not going to stop saying this. We need to stop calling it "deporting." It may not always be fair or humane, but deportation has a process. And it means you're sent back to where you came from. These people are being trafficked and sold to slave prisons. Not deported.
Leavitt confirmed that the WH is working on deporting US citizens to El Salvador

It is human trafficking.
Totally agree with this. Flying a person to a third country that they may never have been to, directly into a prison where they are going to be forced to do hard labor, is not a deportation; it's something else entirely.
@washingtonpost.com They were not DEPORTED. Deported means sending them back to their country of origin. These people were sent to a maximum security prison in El Salvador, without any due process or any analysis as to whether they feared harm in El Salvador!

A child living in a group home, away from their relatives, isn't protected from predatory violence. Another Indigenous life, murdered.

A story all too familiar for #MMIR

Emily, may your spirit journey in peace. Adults let you down. You deserved so much more than you ever had 🙏

Some bright news ☀️

I worked here for 6 years from hs through early years of college and learned so much about my community here.
For nearly seven decades, family has been the hallmark of Lucky Wishbone. Now the restaurant is adding to its reputation among local diners with one of the biggest institutional endorsements in the food world — a James Beard Award.

I hate this
The University of Alaska Board of Regents has voted to change the school’s affirmative action language, following a recent warning from the Trump administration that called for educational institutions to remove race-based policies or face federal funding cuts.

Pat Pitney's dumb email got me to write to UA leadership again

And now I guess the Legislature 😮‍💨🙄😑

We know what the UA BOR is there to do, but that's not the full story.

Words can't be banned.

Interesting to see how the Right has lumped together centuries of liberation work under a contemporary concept (DEI), and that we've also agreed???

Don't be tricked by doublespeak. "Freedom is a constant struggle."
