A rural First Nations community in Alaska has lost its’ only potable water source as of January in freezing weather. The laundromat was the ONE community location to get clean water. They rely on river water and donations right now.

There is an Amazon wishlist with cleaning products, formula, small electric-free washers for elderly + disabled people, washing buckets and water-carrying buckets, and hand tools to cut through the ice in the river to access water, amongst other things.

The Tuluksak Native Community is a Yup'ik Tribal Government in Tuluksak, Alaska. They have a 30%+ positive COVID rate. 

Please ignore the GoFundMe link right now. There is no way to access the funding as far as I know. Message CeeJay on Twitter ahead of time or direct funds to the Amazon Wish List, which can be sorted from lowest price to highest.

update 3/13: they have maybe a third(?) of the things they need! If you can’t afford the buy some of the items, they have contact links for smaller donations or you can share this to help!

I have the word s-h-r-u-g set to autocorrect to ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ and I don’t regret a thing.

Me at my med management appointment, telling the truth: I’m doing okay. I haven’t been sleeping great because of work stress, but I’m managing. Other than that life is going pretty well.

My brain at 11:49pm the same day: so here’s the deal, you can only get serotonin from doing jigsaw puzzles. They’re gonna stress you out while you’re doing them but you won’t be able to sleep until I tell you we’ve done enough. That number is currently unknown. Enjoy the anxiety!

Honestly I keep remembering how I read some memory expert's tips on remembering important things a little over a decade ago and it was that bs about putting things in weird places. Like "don't write notes! If I need to remember something I put an orange on my sofa so when I get up in the morning I will see the orange, think 'why is there an orange on my sofa' and immediately remember the important thing". Like wow, souds pretty NT to me lol. Imagine being able to notice "misplaced" objects lol

Imagine enough objects in your home having enough of a place that something being moved could be counted as "misplaced"!!

Seriously though this can kinda work on an amped up scale. I tend to put things that I need to remember (bags, bins to be taken out etc) directly in my path so that I can't get past them without noticing them the next day.

A random orange though? It might make me realise I had forgotten something, but I'd be all...

I’ve started putting trash by the front door because my kitchen is on the opposite side of my apartment from my front door and i don’t go in there in the mornings. I’m getting better at remembering to take the trash out on my way out in the mornings, but I’d be lying if I said I still didn’t overlook the bag of trash sometimes. Not laziness, just straight up am focused on getting my keys and purse and phone that by the time I’m to the door my mind has completely forgotten all about the bag of trash sitting *right there*.

I saw a tiktok the other day where a widow put on her wedding dress and found the vows she had written in the pocket. And that reminded me of the time that my ex asked for a divorce and when I was packing up my stuff to leave the house we had bought together I found the vows he had written tucked into my keepsake board with ticket stubs and photos from concerts we had gone to together. He’d put them there when he had moved out months earlier. And every time I remember the thousand little cuts he gave me as he walked out of the life we had built together my hatred of him grows a little deeper.

58 seconds to demonstrate EXACTLY why professionalism requires manners.

For those of you who do not speak Corporate, this is just:

“Fuck you.” “Fuck you, too.”

This gave me hives

Me in the office

Showed this to my husband and he was all: this is all I do every day

Actual footage of me trying to get bid quotes voted on by the board. Re-attaching documents became my forte.

Was it the 3 glasses of wine? Was it the bath? I don’t care. I’m relaxed for the first time since 7am.

I do wish I was content being single. I wish I didn’t crave a relationship. I wish it would hurt less when things end.

I worked out for the first time since the spring. It was only 14 minutes of Zumba, but it felt good. Normally I’m too self conscious to work out, even alone in my apartment, but I did it. It was only a 20 minute workout, so my goal for tomorrow is to finish it.

Not a single drive thru is open in my hometown. Several gas stations, but like, I don’t want to be perceived right now. I want to get Taco Bell and crawl back into bed. I do not want to be in the harsh light of a gas station.
