Yes, it's a classic. But, walking with backpacks while wearing thick down jackets... in the rain? Bizarre costuming choice. Filming it must've been miserable.

I have worked with hundreds of Alaskans in 8a-supported Native corporations who voted for Chump, both Native and non-Native. They are just now realizing his racism has no boundaries, to their own downfall. This is devastating to my state, to my city.

Did anyone in Anchorage feel an earthquake last night about 9pm? A long roller?

People on TV with blinding white teeth just look... weird. C'mon folks, you don't need a full RGB 255/255/255. Put down that 20th bleach tray and pick up that yummy cup of coffee. Enjoy.

Judging from the 35 foot flat walk from my home to my shed, avalanche danger is very high around Anchorage. Dense icy crust resting on several inches of fluff. Please be careful out there!

I've always felt Minnesotans and Alaskans are siblings. So many from Minnesota live here now. Sending Alaskans to invade Minnesota... wrong, just disturbing on so very many levels. 😕

Bluesky will go dark and our voices here will be added to their enemies spreadsheet. Please know I'm grateful for each and every one of you, Alaskans and worldwide. We will simply reconvene somewhere else. Online and in person. I will stand by you. Not going anywhere. There are more of us than them.

I went to Costco yesterday and did not buy any peanut butter. Please congratulate me on my strike against my addiction.

Minneapolis, like Anchorage and Fairbanks, is a "winter city." And Greenland, of course, is also arctic. Assaults on both feel personal to this Alaskan.

Found this pendant at a thrift shop today. It's the tip of an orca or sperm whale tooth. For $20. Perfect for today, I sent a demand letter to the contractor who really, really screwed me over. It is a rare but important time for me to defend myself---to show my teeth.

It's so satisfying to try a new recipe and end up adding a new favorite. It's pork loin in Caribbean sauce. Should freeze great!

We rounded up Japanese people, no matter their citizenship status, and sent them to camps, for YEARS. How is this different? Or not even worse?
