Data suggest Education is a pretty effective treatment for Votingforfascists.

(Side effects may include empathy, critical thinking, and pain in the rectal area following the removal of one's head.)

It's #PhotoPhriday! I'm an Alaska Native photographer, and every Friday, I post a new photo from my adventures! This one is from Whiskey Gulch here in Alaska! (Doesn't this shell look like a butterfly? 👀)

P.S. If you want to support my work, I have a shop here: www.redbubble.com/people/jenst...

Grateful to Alaska Women Speak for my second Pushcart nomination for my poem, "snippets." 🤗
Black text on a white page which reads: snippets a day when there is light and color anywhere but the sun the way the night feels colder when the moon is small when the forest breathes out thick clouds of mist the way silver water perches and beads on purple velvet petals the way standing in a canyon feels like a hug from the earth herself an unrelenting rain that swallows up the riverbanks when steely waves race to deliver the frozen messengers of change wretched and familiar brown glass waiting in ambush in the sand the way the sea turns it and turns it and turns it soft and frosty and safe when a boulder commits mitosis and half its consciousness begins as someone else that way over and over and over until it’s just sand like cracked pepper that wonderful awful way we must experience earth through a pinhole that wonderful awful way we are all glass waiting in ambush in the sand until we let earth turn us and Jen Stever turn us and turn us into something safe

What's the excuse when "history" was eight years ago, and they're still repeating it? 🤦
A cartoon where two people sit in a library with the caption, "Those who don't study history are doomed to repeat it. Yet those who do study history are doomed to stand by helplessly while everyone else repeats it."

One reason I love spending time with my little sister is she is always making art and stoking my urge to drawww. (Something I did while visiting her this week.)

Brrr, it's a chilly -1°F here this #PhotoPhriday. Daydreaming about summer, when I made this friend on my lupine. 💜
