Yikes. An embarrassing moment for Sen. Dan Sullivan. Sullivan falsely accuses Mary Peltola of getting debate questions beforehand because she is doing a better job than him. Peltola then drops the hammer: “I’m prepared!”

Juneau’s Tlingit Culture, Language, and Literacy program received a $14,000 food sovereignty grant. The money comes from Native Movement, a nonprofit supporting grassroots-led projects that ensure Indigenous Peoples’ rights.

Good

This is all disgusting. I've had people accuse me of using AI when I do shit like use an em-dash. I struggle to avoid yelling but HUNDREDS OF ARTICLES AND AT LEAST TWO BOOKS I WROTE have been scraped by OpenAI. I'm part of why your chatbots write the way they do. They're copying me.

On the occasion of #TrumpInAlaska & on the coattails of the #ShaneGillis #RapeCulture monologue & after reading thru local bully & Trump/Putin enthusiast Landfield’s blame-everyone-but-himself Sunday blog & blame yours truly (😊) Livestream, here’s a brief video about the tipping point we’re at, here

“For Alaskan voters this election, we may not have a candidate we ❤️ in every race, but we do have candidates who are much better poised to improve our lives in concrete ways.” My Commentary in @alaskabeacon.com on childcare & frontrunners in the AK Senate race: alaskabeacon.com/2026/10/13/a...

“This is not a women’s issue, this is an everybody issue. Because the more that men objectify women in the media, the more that other men see them as objects and treat them as objects,” Levy said.

If you’ve been offended by the AI-generated totem in the anti-RCV ads, you are not alone. This was a very thoughtful perspective from Talia Eames in the Sitka Sentinel. #NoOn2 sitkasentinel.com/stories/no-o...

one thing we need to beat people over the head with is that picking class solidarity over shit like transphobia and racism is not only morally correct but also benefits you materially

This is how Dem politicians & white people SHOULD be plainly & directly calling out the dangerous racism of people like Mike Collins (& Donald Trump, etc.). Can y’all please take notes on Jon Ossof? #AlwaysFightaBully (& no, I don’t mean violently. I mean like this, naming their wrongs honestly)

the AI industry is full of people who would automate away playing with a kitten

Hey friends, I co-wrote a song with the incredible Rolling Stone-lauded Alaskana artist Josh Fortenbery. The working title was "fuck Elon," because he put over a million dollars into an Alaska ballot measure to repeal dark money laws. The final title is "Bound to Fail," which we hope AK Prop 2 is.

i was fortunate enough to profile Margaret Hamilton in 2019. A really kind and curious person. This was my favorite story she told me:

Heading to Fairbanks this week with @mariancall.bsky.social. Hoping to see some FBX friends!

Margaret Hamilton, trailblazer whose software powered Apollo 11 moon landing, dies at 90

NINE YEARS AGO

I just tried refreshing the downloaded CBJ prelim results PDF expecting it to change... Hopefully the mill rate cap can eke out enough votes to flip as they finish counting.

Men, esp white men: you need to remember that just bc you get along w/ a man & have had good times w/ him & he’s never harassed or denigrated you & maybe he’s even paid you for your work…doesn’t mean that’s true of how he treats ppl from marginalized groups, ppl w/ less power & more vulnerability.

People power works!

This morning, the D&D team and Magic's Studio X informed our leadership of our intent to unionize. We love the games we make and the work we do, and unionizing is how we protect that work. unitedwizardsofthecoast.com/news/dnd-stu...

I’ve been stewing on this topic of the AK Landmine - other media org debates for the last 9 days & mentioned it in my video & posts from last Saturday (& lots of private convos). Here’s a more extensive take, probably part 1 of 2 bc I had to cut out a lot of footage to keep it under 3 minutes).

Don’t ever think that your voice as an everyday person doesn’t matter. It does. Yr voice is esp effective when u understand who might listen to which arguments from which voices at which time & how to disagree respectfully. Now @adn.com @c-span.bsky.social et al alaskabeacon.com/2026/10/05/w...

We have a new voter guide for the 2026 General Election! KTOO, Alaska Beacon, Alaska Public Media and the Anchorage Daily News collaborated to publish a voter guide intended to help Alaskans make informed choices when they vote.

COMMENTARY: We’re making a tough call on an upcoming U.S. House debate alaskabeacon.com/2026/10/05/w...

Wow. Applauding the AK Beacon's decision on this: alaskabeacon.com/2026/10/05/w...

Oh my: LibreOffice just made "no AI" one of their official features: blog.documentfoundation.org/blog/2026/09...

The debates that I’ll actually watch. Alaska Public Media’s Lori Townsend will moderate all 3 Debate for the State broadcasts. Eric Stone and Wil Courtney will question candidates in the governor debate, while Liz Ruskin and Wil Courtney will ask the questions for the U.S. House/Senate debates

#akleg I've been scheming on an elections time song project w/ @mariancall.bsky.social and Josh Fortenbery. In the tradition of old folk protest songs, we've been inviting other Alaskan musicians to add their spin and pass it around. Here's the original from Josh: www.instagram.com/p/Dd-HkqavJQZ/

This is good to remember as you’re trying to figure out where to get your COVID & flu vaccines. Whether you’re a Costco member or not, you can book online your vaccine appt (people 12+) & even get Rx there too. I do most meds through Costco pharmacy.

#akleg The announcement about AKLNG either shouldn't be taken seriously or else the legislature did a great job in protecting value for Alaskans by not reducing property taxes on the project.

“So while sexist marketing like this is harmful to women & girls, it isn’t doing men any favors either. Corporations that want to exploit men…make them willing participants in their own exploitation, using sexism (& racism) to fool them into feeling like they’re in charge, like they hold the power.”

I know it’s hard right now, esp for survivors of sexual violence. In this vid, I share some resources to help us understand #RapeCulture & understand what happened w/ #Cornell7 — & what we can do about it. Some accounts I recommend following are: @metoomvmt.bsky.social @rebeccasolnit.bsky.social

absolutely crucial social technology

discord going in on age verification while being completely unable to prevent loss of the data they're entrusted with is the worst kind of joke. they're just feeding it to hackers

Were you aware there’s a little known provision in Alaska’s ballot measure 2 that would undo the will of Alaska’s > 70% of August primary voters who JUST voted for campaign finance limits? This is one of many reasons we need to vote No on 2 & check in w/ our friends, family, & acquaintances

Two dead whales and a dock fire… not a great summer for the Alaska cruise industry. Advocates have been demanding regulations for the environmental impacts for years and these incidents really underscore why change is needed.

I'm really glad to see this being reported on. If BM2 passes, we could be unraveling a key bit of the campaign contribution limits we just passed. Alaskans spent five years working on this and finally got the measure approved by 72% of Alaskan voters in the primary election. Vote no on 2.

One of my favorite spots in my hometown of Wichita, KS This was during some major flooding, but is the best picture I took of the river. The statue on the left is "The Keeper of the Plains" by Blackbear Bosin
