Thank you @adn.com for publishing my obituary for perhaps the most beloved bear in the world: the late, great, king 480 Otis.
Fat Bear Week has arrived, featuring some of the biggest and brawniest bears of Brooks River. But longtime fans will note that there are several beloved bears missing from this year’s bracket.

I’ve been awake for 45 minutes trying to remember the name of a local (I think) teen girl clothing store I thought was so cool in the early ‘90s. It finally came to me, I yelled it aloud, and now I can sleep. (It was called Clothestown.) 😅

I am going to try Dry January in 2025, but since I’m already sober, I’m just not gonna drink anything at all

Day 2 of grading: so far, no grading this afternoon, because it’s obviously very important that I watch the 2023 “Heelwork to Music” international dog dance competition. (I did not know this was a thing and I recommend it, especially if you have something else you should be doing.)

Grading papers, lost in a sea of despair and futility, when @bradabbott.bsky.social unexpectedly brings me a bag of saltwater taffy. This is why we've been married for 20 years.

This excuse is obviously BS but it’s also insane how many people want kids but don’t seem to want to talk to them about anything
Pixar has removed a transgender character’s storyline from their new series #WinOrLose
A Disney rep says, “When it comes to animated content for a younger audience, we recognize that many parents would prefer to discuss certain subjects with their children on their own terms and timeline”

Every year my grandma used to churn out Thanksgiving dinner for a dozen people in a very tiny galley kitchen. The older I get the more I’m amazed at what she did all the time.

This is not a drill: the orcas’ salmon hats are back in fashion! 💁♀️ www.livescience.com/animals/orca...
Orcas start wearing dead salmon hats again after ditching the trend for 37 years
Orcas off the coast of Washington State are balancing dead fish on their heads like it's the 1980s, but researchers still aren't sure why they do it.

People who know things, is it better to upload my video directly to a Bluesky post or to post a YouTube link to it? Does it magically embed it into my post?

My celiac blood work came back looking good enough (in my entirely uneducated assessment), so I’m celebrating with a LOT of bread until my doctor tells me otherwise.
