Meanwhile, hospitals in Anchorage and Mat-Su also report receiving a barrage of harassing phone calls from the public, berating providers for not administering ivermectin or just yelling at whoever answers the phone, a hospital association official says. on.adn.com/3oJJzuK
Last night, Mayor Bronson repeatedly said he visited @AlaskaRegional 10 days ago and everything seemed fine, so how could there be a crisis? 1 hospital visit, thousands of new cases, dozens of reported deaths ago. Seems like really incomplete, outdated info to work off of #AKgov

A consequence of making the Library a "division" of the Parks Dept? Dept. directors have to be confirmed; "division" heads don't. Charter 5.02.(a)The mayor shall appoint all heads of municipal departments, subject to confirmation by the assembly, on the basis of prof[.] qual[s].

Alaska’s 7-day per capita case rate is higher than any other U.S. state and any country in the world. At Providence, the state’s largest hospital, respiratory therapists are describing a challenging environment and extremely sick patients. on.adn.com/39ScFPM

I don’t care if you’ve had kids, there’s something inherently creepy about when a toddler looks deeply into your eyes and just says: shhhhh

One hyper-specific form of racism I've experienced and witnessed that I've been wanting to shine a light on for a long time is the discounting of Asian anger. If your reaction to an angry or upset Asian person is to infantilize them, then go fuck yourself. npr.org/2021/03/17/978055571…
We spent all morning thinking it was a crumpled up old sock in the corner of our living room. It was poo. #parenthood

I clicked on a video for “dark royalty core” (“a playlist for waltzing with your enemies”). Turns out: it’s just classical music.

1961 ad for Margee Fitzpatrick, first woman to run for mayor of Anchorage. She later said of women in politics, ""They are the ones who do the shopping, raise the sons who go to war, and bring up the daughters who chase the sons who go to war." #alaskahistory #anchoragehistory
