Trump is a pedophile (this is not new news). Trump should be in prison until he dies there. And so should Musk. And so should Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor And many, many others. Corrupt, powerful garbage. Pedophiles control the world. #epsteinfiles

Been making a lil protest art. Still sending the White House anti-Trump & anti-ICE postcards whenever I need to blow off steam. #protestart #art #noice #iceout #fdt

Winter activities. I love Alaska. 💕 #iceskating #winter

Recent shenanigans: Soar body checks his little sister! 😂 #dogs #whippet #lurcher #pets #snow #winter

Recent shenanigans - queers on ice #lgbtqia #🏳️‍🌈 #skiing #alaska

It has snowed a bit #anchorage

This is Boots (Pacific Crest Middle Sister) who is my new sport mix pal. She’s foxhound x Italian greyhound and she’s just over 1yr old. She gets along great with Soar and he’s so happy to have a sister. Boots is enough of a sighthound that she fits my aesthetic haha #sportdog #dog #goodgirl

New dog who dis? #sportdog #italiangreyhound #foxhound #sighthound #dog #dogs

The rocks are red!

I’m on a desert climbing trip for Christmas!!

Holy smokes it’s been 3 weeks since my last post on here!?

I moved across the street over the past couple of days to a freestanding house (was in a triplex before) and I now have a private fenced yard, a washer/dryer, a bigger kitchen, and basement storage.

More bucket list stuff. #alaska

My dog wondering why I’m like this. #whippet

It’s 35° and snowing right now in Anchorage, I’m going to the grocery store dressed like I am from Portland. I think I look cute! It’s not like I am going to be walking around in snowbanks or anything #Alaska #Oregon

9:25am sunrises are still fascinating to my southern-raised brain! It’s only gonna get weirder from here but I kind of love it. Yes I’m taking vitamin D and have bright lights in my house! #alaska

My friend is flying in to visit me for the weekend on Friday. The government is still shut down and air traffic controllers received partial paychecks this week. Shit has been bad for a long time but it’s about to get much worse. #FDT

If I can go full send 5.9 and 5.10 and I haven’t climbed in a year…the climbs are over-rated lol. #rockclimbing #climber #indoorclimbing #climbinggym

Hey check out this waterfall. #pnw #pnwonderland #waterfall #basalt #oregon

I wasn’t sure we were gonna go all the way to Rabbit Lake but we did. It was beautiful. #winterwonderland #winter #snow #mountains #alaska #hike

We hiked to some snow yesterday. #whippet #snow #winter #hike #hiker #dog

I’ve got to work today and can’t go physically but I have small protest signs for my car and house. If you can, get out there and fight fascism!! #nokings #releasetheepsteinfiles #fightfascism

This is the lake we hiked to. The edges were slushy, it’ll freeze before too long. #alpinelake #hiddenlake #alaska #hike #chugach #mountains

Happy as a whippet in the mountains. #whippet #snow #snowday #alaska #mountains #hiking

Alpine whippet found his favorite thing today: snowwww! #whippet #hiking #hikingwithdogs #dog #alaska

Met this dude out living his best life today. #moose #alaska #hiking

My adult life could have gone very differently. I was not set up for success. I am glad I got to where I am now, sitting in my apartment in Alaska, fully supporting myself and my pets, having experienced a bunch of incredible things that I bravely chose to pursue. #life

My coming of age was “best of luck, you’re an adult now, hope you figure it all out!” I did, mostly, but it took a long time and so much struggle. I was so poor and depressed and unable to get it right for so long and felt stupid. It was NOT MY FAULT. #millennial #struggle

I didn’t even know how to clean a house. When I was a kid, my parents could only barely keep up with keeping our home clean. I didn’t know how to clean or manage my time to clean my home till my early 30s. It took so long to learn how to hot glue and tape my life into what it is now.

I have taught MYSELF all of this stuff. I now have navigated healthcare and advocated for myself. I haven’t overdrawn a bank account in over a decade and I have excellent credit. I am still learning communication and find it challenging to address concerns, but I’m better at it than I was.

I did not learn basic communication. I could NOT ask for help until my late 30s. I couldn’t openly discuss problems, concerns, or discomforts. I had no idea how to talk to doctors about BODY FUNCTIONS. Mental health was never discussed, everything seemed so secret. We got a vague sex talk once.

My parents taught me about money by saying “we have food at home” or “no we aren’t buying ___ today.” I had no idea why, I didn’t understand budgeting. I thought we were poor, but now I think that my dad was just very careful with money because he did grow up poor. #money #adulting #millennial

It took me a long time to learn to be an adult. I didn’t know how bills or interest or investing or retirement worked. I had no clue how to navigate healthcare and mostly didn’t have it before my 30s. I couldn’t balance a checking account and didn’t understand taxes. #life #adulting #milennial

Sometimes I’m just like “shit I’ve come a long way.”
