I’m an ER nurse in Anchorage and completely bummed I have to work this weekend, I would have been there in a heartbeat, I luuuuuuuurve your work and its 💯 relevance to my life ❤️ Welcome to AK!
I 💯 recommend the Highliner downtown, it’s wicked affordable and quaint. Not fancy but the details to local history and design are great. My friends were happy, it was comfortable and clean and did I mention way cheaper??? If price/quality ratio matters this is good bet and it’s downtown
I wrote my Senator, Lisa Murkowski, imploring her on behalf of all
the present and future women veterans like me who experienced sexual assault in the military NOT to confirm. The Commander in Chief will be a convicted sexual abuser, must we add to the misery??
Since politics and fringe beliefs matter more than science and facts, I propose a secondary medical care system ran by the conspiracy theory nutballs which they can all use, let’s see how raw milk cures their stroke in the ER, administered by a podcaster
Houses I have spent time in are incinerated, and I have other close friends evacuated, awaiting a horrifying wait for good/bad news. Anyone in my life brings politics into this will be shut out. Tragedy transcends class and politics and geography
Welcome to the snot party!
You are not crazy, everyone you know and probably your own self has either Flu A or RSV 🤧😷
Hello from Joshua Tree👋🏻👋🏻 Did an 11 mile hike on the northern edge and I can’t bend over, hope to repeat the same “mistake” tomorrow on a flatter trail and give this meat sack a break
This nurse is proud of you🫡 I’m looking forward to mine next year. Having taken care of legions of shingles sufferers, I don’t want any part of that. I hope RFK Jr doesn’t take it away before I get it
The app has been garbage for me, I just hand jam the website in my browser daily and I stay logged in that way
I grew up in a small community on the Arkansas River, will never tire of looking at her
The loss of AK Twitter as it was in its best times is a real thing. Absolutely jazzed to find so many lost contacts over here!!
The ADN has been a big part of my morning routine and connection to Alaska since I moved here, what a loss to the paper and to our local news community. I wish you peace in your professional and personal lives!!
All I can think is Rasputin 2.0
As an ER nurse, may I just say that I bow down to the awesomeness of RT☺️
I’m working ER tonight and Thanksgiving, I’ll be here for all your holiday emergencies! Just please bring me some leftover turkey ❤️
I wouldn’t wish that health journey on anyone, and I’m Glad for you that you came out on the other side intact. The vaccine deniers and anti-maskers destroyed trust in the medical care system and in the tenets of public health. I’m so demoralized, I see every shift the sequelae of their PR lies
Don’t forget about TB, we aren’t doing so hot there either. Funding public health is not a “sexy” platform but the outcomes when it’s ignored is tragic on the ground level
GURL, you’re not the one giving antibiotic shots in the ass, so please reconsider 😂 Love, your neighborhood ER nurse
I LOVED this history narrative!! I’m biased, as a born and raised Kansan that eventually chose AK as home. DDE is a hero of mine and I can’t imagine the honor you feel knowing your uncle worked for him. What a rad story all around. Ad Astra Per Aspera!
Leon Panetta was a champion for women servicemembers as SecDef, and the nomination of Hegseth makes me physically ill as a female veteran. This will destroy his legacy and advocacy to root out sexual assault in the military. What female would want to enlist?!?
ER nurse here in Alaska, can confirm…and syphilis is on a comeback tour
I can’t imagine my musical life without daily George Michael, and the video for this song is 🔥
It’s heartbreaking in the ER at 0300 to discharge someone and they say “I have no nowhere to go” and you realize that came here because they really thought we had the capacity to give them shelter, we were their last gasp at a place to stay for the winter’s night.
I was Army during 9/11 under Bush, and as a Dem I still served with pride b/c no one talked politics. I can’t fathom women now joining the military ran by a convicted rapist as comm in chief and a SecDef who obviously denigrates women. I am mourning the loss of a country I sacrificed so much for
Pt Woronzof, the intersection of cargo planes and seasonal cranes, all my favorite flying machines
During Covid I used Twitter to share ER and community issues, with my own hot takes about Anchorage healthcare and policy. Can’t wait to keep you posted here about how the election will transform healthcare delivery…not expecting much joy at my end, at work we are already whispering of our dread
