Hi! I'm an owner of the Alaska Robotics Gallery in Juneau where we sell comics, board games, art supplies, and local artwork.

I make short films, comics, picture books, host a comics camp and post a lot about Alaska policy.

Sullivan already scrambling to rehab his healthcare stance ahead of the 2026 elections. He didn't lift a finger to defend subsidies when it mattered but he'll flail around just enough to create the illusion of action. Soccer flop policy.
Sullivan says he is working on extension of health care subsidies
Without action from Congress, the subsidies will expire at the end of the year.

#akleg Costello forced out as Minority leader after less than a year. Deepening rifts within the AKGOP it would appear.
Costello steps down as House minority leader
Anchorage Republican Rep. Mia Costello served just under a year in the role.

I did find some precedence in Alaska journalism for the collective butt. Most references to butts and kicking refer to rifles.

In self-interest but also general interest, folks: Black Friday is coming up, and small publishers/independent creators will always be a better choice than megacorps.

When the sales drop, please remember that!

I'm going to be signing my picture book out at Hearthside Books today if anyone needs a scribbled-in edition.

Also, you can find it at our online store and if you make a little note requesting scribbles, I will be happy to draw a bear or a goat or personalize it for a kiddo in your life.

I use Fastmail and it's great! So, I guess just send over your outgoing mail and I'll run it through my spell check and forward it back to you. Most efficient on my side if you just send one big email each day and then when you get it back you can copy paste the relevant portions into new messages.
