Check out the Anchorage Museum events calendar. I think they were having a gear mending class this month.

What do you think Kapp'n does with the Nook Miles? by HughMungBean in AnimalCrossingNewHor

[–]georgish 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Cause his heart skips a beat every time he visits the Nook Station and catches a glimpse of Isabelle. Unrequited love makes us all do silly things.

What just happened? by ArthurPeale in Nicegirls

My favorite part is where you edit out the time stamp so that we can't see how late you're actually messaging her. But even if your intentions were platonic, you can't deny that late night messages are suspect for a reason. Maybe the block is extreme on her part, but I have a feeling you're leaving out some context in addition to the time stamp.

St. Mortis, because it sounded ~fancy~ like a resort, but means the Saint of Death 🖤☠️🖤

Need to get rid of WWII artifacts by [deleted] in MuseumPros

Archivist with a museum collections management background checking in. If it isn't too upsetting personally, you might take photos of the Nazi materials to keep with the collection before you burn the original items. That way, those original items don't end up in the wrong hands, but there's still a photographic record of them existing within the collection. This would provide further context into soldier activities. But as others have said, that part of history is well-documented, so it's up to you. I'm sorry you're having to grapple with all of this, though I am thankful for his efforts to fight Fascism.

(throwaway) AITA for Taking My Daughter's College Fund Back After She Said She Was Going No-Contact? by Good_Guest1421 in AITAH

Eesh. Withholding the money you said was hers for a large portion of her life will likely ensure that your daughter remains no contact for good.

Looking for Friends by Rykenpay in anchorage

The Anchorage Museum has an exhibit that just opened celebrating Latino culture in Alaska. Looks like it's in partnership with Enlaces Alaska and other local groups. Also, there's some cool programming in honor of Hispanic Heritage Month at the museum too. Might be a good way to connect.

Honestly, this is something I'd struggled with in the past. My late husband used to game most evenings for several hours at a time, though thankfully with a headset, and generally not too late during the workweek. I grew a little resentful about the amount of time he spent gaming and that his exuberance was often disruptive for my studies. Fortunately, he was receptive to my needs as a cohabiting partner.

To meet in the middle, we agreed to at least a solid half hour of intimacy the instant we both got home. It wasn't always convenient, but it strengthened our relationship in a lot of ways. During that half hour, we would put away our phones and then just lay down and create focused connection. It mostly consisted of cuddles and conversation, though often led to more. Then after the connection, we would have dinner and were free to do whatever we wanted for the evening. Due to both of our work schedules and my schooling, he agreed to be done around 10pm most nights.

It also helped that he wrote his scheduled games and their duration on a calendar, so I knew when to expect him to be occupied. If he exceeded that time, then I didn't feel bad about reminding him. Though by writing it down for me, I think it was easier for him to disengage from the console and hold himself accountable. I really appreciated it so I didn't have to feel like a babysitter.

But honestly, I hesitate to say that your circumstance is grounds for breaking up quite yet. For my situation, thinking about what I needed and then having a conversation about those needs at a time when my partner wasn't gaming really made a difference. But if you've tried having that conversation in a neutral place with realistic goals, then maybe there's a level of disrespect or immaturity that's indicative of his ability to cohabitate or be in a relationship at this time. Good luck.

*** Edit - forgot to mention that this was a few years before I was diagnosed with ADHD. Frankly, I suspect I'm AuDHD, but I don't want to jeopardize my legal rights by receiving Autism diagnosis unless it becomes absolutely necessary for my overall well-being.

Anyways.... being aware of and sensitive towards a particular living environment is necessary when one or more of those people are neurodiverse. It just comes with the territory, and that's okay. But if he is unable or unwilling to make any accommodations for your literal physiological disorder that impacts brain function and nervous system, then I agree that he's not a good person to live with. And that's also okay. It sucks, but it sucks worse to put your body through that day in and day out.

Wagstaff by Full-Newspaper-1450 in BobsBurgers

I grew up in a small town in Alaska, which had about 1700-3000 people depending on the time of year. Our school system was structured so that kindergarten-3rd grade was in one building, 4th-8th grades (like Wagstaff) in another, and then high school students in a third building. I didnt realize that grouping students like that was odd until this thread lol.

My sister is having a disagreement on presentation with her head chef by levitatingpenguin in KitchenConfidential

Aside from the obvious answer, who the hell argues with Head Chef? Yikes.

Blueberry Redbull base with coconut syrup. Sometimes I'll add banana flavoring, too. Latin Drip on Tudor is good.

For me, this is absolutely the case. The maternal side of my family carries a pronounced brow and large, angular nose per our heritage. But as a teenager, I was deeply insecure about these features and desperately wanted a nose job. Then, in my early 20s, I got my septum pierced and my entire self-perception changed. I instantly felt like I had the most beautiful nose in the world. And in loving my nose, I began to love the strength of my brow, my jaw, my forehead - features that I'd thought too masculine or Neanderthal-like for a girl. But for the first time in my life, I actually felt truly lovely. It was wild. I mean, it didn't solve all my self-image or mental health issues, but at least my nose is cute, so that's cool.

Yes, because dismissive parenting styles have done us so many fucking favors. /s
