I think what i love most about the mcelroys is that theyre two Scorpios and an Aries, they get anger. they get how it lives under your skin and bubbles in your stomach slides down the back of your throat cloaks the back of your eyes, it just lives there. But they also get that it isnt a universal anger, they get how to keep that anger inside, how to use it as spite to make the world a better place. They aren’t ignorant or uncaring to what is happening around us, they are just using their anger as part of their, and our, healing.

PROTESTER: Look at me when I’m talking to you. You are telling me that my assault doesn’t matter, that what happened to me doesn’t, and that you’re going to let people who do these things into power. That’s what you’re telling me when you vote for him. Don’t look away from me.

Look at me and tell me that it doesn’t matter what happened to me, that you will let people like that go into the highest court of the land and tell everyone what they can do to their bodies.

PROTESTER: Do you think that he’s able to hold the pain of this country and repair it? That is the work of justice. The way that justice works is you recognize hurt, you take responsibility for it and then you begin to repair it. You are allowing someone who is unwilling to take responsibility for his own actions and willing to hold the harm he has done to one woman, actually three women, and not repair it. You are allowing someone who is unwilling to take responsibility for his own actions —

— to sit in the highest court of the country and to have the role of repairing the harm that has been done in this country to many people.

[…]

ANOTHER PROTESTER: You have power, but so many women are powerless.

[…]

PROTESTER: Do what is right.

Anchorage Resident Tim Newton Awoke To The Sound Of Something Running Across His Deck

“Tim was awakened by noises on our deck last week – and looked outside. In astonishment, he grabbed his camera.. and can you believe it? Mama Lynx and her SEVEN kits!! She called to them and they all lined up right outside in front of where he was standing (he was inside the screen door!) Amazing ALASKA WILD LIFE!!! They proceeded to run and play on our deck, and then in our yard.”
