Silly, often profane, irreverent, and unapologetic dork. Lifetime Alaskan relocated to share the dorkitude with the beautiful people of the Netherlands. Generally classy broad. 🤪
It was a hell of a week, and I’ve got thoughts to share about health care systems, y’all!

On sudden illness
I went to the North Sea Jazz Festival on a Friday. My favorite band was performing with my favorite jazz orchestra, and I was set to meet some mutual fan friends and dance away the afternoon. I was…

Starting to realize that I love being the boss of my company, nascent as it is, and that I am simultaneously the worst employee for the job in the history of ever. 😂

On pain and healing
I was texting with a friend who is hurting this morning. Aren’t we all? And I liked the way the words came out, so I’m sharing them here. I’m having a hard time the last week or two mys…

Deeply silly dork does deeply silly things. Learn more inside! 🤪
Little rituals
My brain makes up little rules for me to follow, and I find life far more entertaining to just go with them, even if it means I draw stares sometimes. Here are a few, in case you want to share them…

To the very nice young Dutch man who asked me last night why American men are so obsessed with guns, you were probably not expecting me to say, “there’s a lot of tiny dick energy running the country.” But you only dropped your jaw a little bit before grinning and replying, “dat klopt.” 10/10, Prima!

I can’t stay off the water and be happy, so here’s what made it safe enough for me to feel comfy!
On solo kayaking with epilepsy
Hopefully I didn’t lose too many of you with that title. It’s absolutely NOT RECOMMENDED to participate in solo water activities with an epilepsy diagnosis. But if you find yourself in the position…

Have successfully made it to Christmas Day without being tortured by the worst song of the genre, Simply Having a Wonderful Christmas time. But I just got McCartney-ed. Does anyone on the face of the planet minus (perhaps) Sir Paul like this song?!?

I went splat but was reminded how lovely people are. And to watch my feet, not my churros!

I was taking a stroll through a lovely square in Leidsche Rijn, talking with a friend and showing off the city I love and the oliebollen we are obsessed with in the Netherlands. I had my cone of ch…

Thanksgiving is not a holiday in my new home, so I’m importing my own personal tradition of Funksgiving, where you listen to and appreciate only the best funk tunes. Dutch friends, we just finished Dumpstafunk, we got the B.T. Express, Sly and the Family Stone and my fave P-Funk on deck, join me!

The Alaskan village of Kipnuk was swept away by typhoon flooding this week, in addition to several others. Thousands of Alaskans find themselves without homes as our long winter begins. Here’s a response from an EPA official briefed on the situation. I’m not sure how much more evil they can be.

Think if we’re ever gonna defeat the speakerphone-aloud-in-public people, we’re gonna need to agree collectively to just sit down next to them and blatantly join their conversation that was so very important they needed to project it to the world. Who’s with me? 🤪

Multiple times this year I’ve had coffee with fellow immigrants who grew up in corrupt third world countries and the shared sentiment has been that Americans don’t understand how bad things are going to get.
