Life long Alaskan - Anchorage, “the worst mom IN THE WORLD,” and the best mom to 2 small rescue doggos, alpine skiing, hiking, whiskey, binge watching shows. I love winter and Beyonce.

It’s a very hard thing to read, but I recommend people read “I Saw Death Coming” by Kidada E. Williams for an in-depth exploration of first-hand accounts from people who suffered from attacks like those propagated by the Klan here in the US, to have a full understanding of how disrespectful this is.

Back from my one week of ski coaching I do every year 😂 sunny days at Mt Hood can’t be beat with a bunch of awesome female ski coaches. Having just ONE female coach coach me when I was kid had such a huge impact on my skiing. I’m pumped Keely camp and to see so many female coaches now!

If you’ve ever hired a contractor in USA what usual happens is a white guy shows up in fancy pickup truck with a beer gut and gives you an estimate and then the actual workers are skilled immigrants who do the job with precision and efficiency and receive a fraction of the money.

I wrote "The Trial" on June 11, 2021, the day Darnell's Frazier—an 18 year old Black girl— received an honorary Pulitzer Prize for her video of George Floyd being murdered by those cops. Today, though, I share it because I’m struck by how it applies to Tyre Nichols as well.
