Found this piece of trash while walking the coastal trail along with another Patriot Front sticker. Took them down. A few fascists are looking for friends in Anchorage. Let’s make sure these cowards‘ little club withers.
ALSO: note the North Star in the wrong place, just like theirs is.
A sticker advertising Last Frontier Active Club, a fascist organization. The sticker shows a moose in crosshairs with the text around the edge. The Big Dipper is shown on the moose’s neck, but Polaris is off the correct line down under its chin.

Three objects placed by the 3 year old in front of the guest room tv this morning.
A wooden cross with Edmund 2025 written up the side, which has been decorated with a sharpie; a tiny plastic rabbit, maybe 1/20th the height of the cross, faces away from the edge of the entertainment center ledge it is on; a large wooden Kendama toy, slightly taller than the cross.

While wrong about many things, Roald Dahl’s idea here about beauty has always stuck with me.

We have more technology to change our appearances, and somehow there is a convergence amongst people who could afford different to look like…that.
A page from the Twits by Roald Dahl. “If a person has ugly thoughts, it begins to show on the face. And when that person has ugly thoughts every day, every week, every year, the face gets uglier and uglier until it gets so ugly you can hardly bear to look at it.” A series of 4 drawings of the same person get meaner looking, the hair more unkempt, the face with more spots. “A person who has good thoughts cannot ever be ugly. You can have a wonky nose and a crooked mouth and a double chin and stick-out teeth, but if you have good thoughts they will shine out of your face like sunbeams and you will always look lovely.” Another drawing of a person fitting the above description with a smile who looks kind.

I think our protest signs represent each of us well. The protest today was a great reminder that we’re not alone, and how powerful the people are. We heard way more appreciative honks from drivers than anything else, and it was good to build a memory of standing up as a family.
A family of three—woman, toddler, man— stands in front of a vehicle holding protest signs. The woman’s reads VINDICATE the weak and DO JUSTICE to the poor and the afflicted. RESCUE the weak and the needy DELIVER them out of the hand of the OPPRESSOR. The child’s reads LOVE ONE ANOTHER. The man’s reads MAKE BILLIONAIRES MILLIONAIRES AGAIN.

Without downloading any new pics, what’s your energy going into 2025?
An illustration of Miles O’Brien, Kira and Rom from DS9 seated at a bar. O’Brien is gesturing, and text above and below them reads “The boss needs you, you don’t need them! Labor is entitled to all it creates.”

Brother, toddler and I went to Christmas for the Animals at the Alaska Zoo. We all had fun, and when we left, Edmund shouted “Goodbye, Animals!”

My son is correct about the vibe for today. Not pictured: chill west coast jazz.
A toddler sits with his hands behind his head with a picture book on his lap and his feet out in front of him.
