My facebook algorithm is feeding me videos of cats on sailboats. It's awfully random but I don't hate it.

Working to live wisely. I live where the arctic ends. Left of center. Cis woman. Fish enthusiast. Tall. Born in the 1960s. Change is annoying. Certainty is absurd.
Bra shopping. I do not get the extravagant efforts to lift and separate. "For who?"
If you can see this post, you said something funny and/or clever. Congratulations and take a bow.
All my wood clamps be clamping. All is right with the world and tomorrow I rise to a bright new day. Wood glue is spectacular.
Transactional kindness isn't kindness. (That applies to god too.) My goal, and I often fall short, is to be kind, when appropriate, and without expecting anything back. This must be paired with the understanding that I don't control how other people, and the rest of the world respond tome (or don't)
Rebuilt garage passed MoA electrical inspection! I am unreasonably excited about this. Next, foam. Just in time.
Thoughts on all those political ads: I have lived in Alaska 40 years. This does not make me any "better" than a person who just moved here. Welcome.
@sex---wizard.bsky.social hey it's Anne, we met a couple weeks ago at the meetup in Anchorage? I just posted two large steampunk hordes on marketplace, thought you two might be interested. Thanks.
So... I built this platform for my frontload washer dryer. To bring it to code and to reach the (bottom) washer easier. First I built it strong, then reconsidered when I realized it will commonly be 🫨 violently shaking. Made it stronger. Big door in front for access. I did good for an amateur. 😀
So stressed, wore my bite guard all day so as not to crack another tooth. 😕. Used the circular saw (perhaps not wise due to aforementioned stress), but did not lob off any body parts. Now I need to snuggle up with Chris Hemsworth. Is he available?😌
"Y'know the thing about a shark, he's got... lifeless eyes, black eyes, like a doll's eyes. When he comes at ya, doesn't seem to be livin'... until he bites ya."
I will not be offering emotional support to anyone else today. I'm out.
The 3 young contractors in my home have music on. Loud. Classical music, like, an orchestra. I don't know anything about anything anymore.
The guy at the postal store today told me he calls all men customers "boss" and all women customers "ladies." I pushed back. He said it wasn't sexist because his bosses are ladies.
Had to tell a good friend I won't invite her on a remote group (AK) trip unless we car camp together first. She hasn't camped in 20 years and has no gear of her own. If I'm going remote, we all need to be capable of leading if things go sideways. Plus I don't know if she snores. She was mad. 🤷♀️
"Everyone forgets, Icarus experienced flight. I believe Icarus did not fail, he just came to the end of his triumph." Oof. That hit me. From Roadrunner, the documentary about Anthony Bordain.
Screenshot from the last second of a Yes on 2 ad. Turning a totem pole into a joke. They have no honor.
I have developed "trigger finger" in my right hand and now it looks like the hand of Spider-Man spinning a web.
Nick Begich, that font you're using in your ads does not suggest gravitas. It's giving " small town bingo and potluck" circa 2005
What a treat... I got to meet the Diva dog Revna today, along with a spirited group of Anchorage Bluesky Buddies. Thanks, all!
Nature shows REALLY need some women writers. "The winner of the elk battle claims his reward." Ew. The female animals in these shows don't have agency, nor do they apparently ever get horny. 😑
