Absolutely no line for early voting in Fairbanks this morning.
Maybe they should make sure their own stuff is up to date before they purge other people’s records
These are the cool things we miss out on because we live in a shithole.
Loxy@loxy.bsky.social · 5d agoI never remembered to post that I refilled park sign magnets and keychains. If you want it as a pin, cufflinks or something else, reach out. I can do them custom.
Credible reports that ICE abducted someone in Fairbanks on Thursday, July 30. Credible reports that ICE abducted someone in Fairbanks at 8:30am on Friday, July 31 during a traffic stop near Fred’s East. ICE has been staging downtown in the federal building parking lot around 7am 7/30 and 7/31.
This is such a dumb, petty decision that makes life more difficult for military families.

Our friend James lost his battle with cancer on Wednesday, July 22. Revna is in good hands. Happy trails.
This might explain why local conservatives are running ads claiming they’ll do something about crime (despite advocating for candidates in races that have essentially no public safety role).

Someone should start a radwife trend. More wives doing kickflips would be neat
I think the most irritating discovery of the past year+ of activism is how often one needs to pay a private company to use a public facility. Want a permit for a public event at a public park? You need insurance. Want food in a government owned building? Have to use their vendor.
I went to a job out in the hills near Ester, and on the way back I stopped to help a guy with car trouble. He was all set up with his new tire, and tightening the lug nuts. His wheel had fallen off, somehow; but he had a spare and was cannibalizing lug nuts from the other wheels.
