Working on a new book.

Across from Alaska Division of Elections in Juneau.

In other news...

Disingenuous and terrible people stop perceiving Alaska's existence challenge.

This headline structure is literally the joke format we use to make fun of people like this

#akleg The guy who demanded the Georgia Secretary of State gin up an extra 11,780 votes would like us to reprint our ballots so they're more fair to our terrible incumbent Senator.

(This is at 2pm at the JAHC if you're in Juneau)

Trick or treating didn't become big in Anchorage until 1930s (1942 article below). As across US, organized trick or treating was meant to curb existing traditions of Halloween night "pranks," like fires, assaults, egging, soaping windows, throwing flour, knocking over trash, etc.

I don't want to be forced to disclose what I put in my burgers bc making them with rat meat is so much better for my bottom line as a small food business

Cheating at #batober by posting old stuff

Does this qualify Mary Peltola and Dan J. Sullivan for a cash payout from the Anti-Weaponization fund?

We live in interesting times. You can subscribe to the Alaska News Feed here, it collects posts by news sources and Alaskan journalists. To weed out personal posts from individual journalists, there's a filter for hashtags: #aknews #akleg #akelect or #akgov If I'm missing anyone, lmk!

It's like if Joseph Guillotine had originally designed his invention to help the rich people chop their giant blocks of cheese

And there it is.

Dear DOJ, this applies to you, too. Elections are the states' responsibility, especially since you gutted the voting rights act. Feds out of Alaska elections.

I’ll be expanding this all day long and will update you as I add more.

States running elections instead of the federal government turns out to be a pretty solid policy call.

We don't need outside direction. This is our goddamn election. Try to buy us -- you're bound to fail. I co-wrote a song with Josh Fortenbery with help from @pat.alaskarobotics.com. We have THOUGHTS about billionaires spending for Prop. 2 in Alaska, and we will be voting NO. youtu.be/W0u7nS1_O_4

I love hearing all the different takes on this. If you find others, please send them my way!

Life drawing night at the gallery.

This is horrifying.

North Carolina’s Democratic governor warns that the absentee ballot rejection rate is twice as high as in 2022 thanks to last-minute changes by Republicans. He recommends voting in person if you can (early voting is even better!) wcti12.com/news/local/g...

@kevinberryecon.bsky.social Do you know if there's a rule of thumb for calculating the benefits of in-state spending? For example, it's worth paying X% more to print our Official Elections Pamphlets in Alaska because that money rattles around the local economy.

Comics pals! This is my favorite thing I do all year: ALASKA COMICS CAMP. Cartoonists from all over North America (& the world!) gather at camp outside Juneau for self-taught classes on cartooning, business and FRIENDSHIP. It's pure and joy-filled and every year I leave with a full heart. Join us!

Hi comics friends! Applications for the Alaska Robotics Comics Camp are now open. minicon.alaskarobotics.com

From 1992-2004, the Anchorage International Airport had a bar with animatronic, talking, and rather cursed-looking customers who randomly told each other bad jokes. What a world we live in. Learn the history of our replica Cheers bar in my latest article: www.adn.com/alaska-l...

Voting is the coolest. It may not always seem like it because you're often making imperfect choices. But make the choice that inches us closer to where we need to be, and you just helped save the world.

Made a curated AK list (Basically if I can find AK-ish content while browsing past posts & open to nominations) Pulled from: @shayne.bsky.social AK BIPOC list, @alaska.bsky.social list w/ the honorary AK, & @krazytheealaskan.bsky.social which also has past residents.

#akelect It's been surprising to see Nick Begich sustain such a lead in this race. His DOGEy enthusiasm should have been a bigger albatross around his neck. We've only got a week or so to help Bill Hill find his rocket skates.

The great moose has decided. Vote accordingly.

🔮 CALLING ALL LEFTWING TRANS WITCHES: Please hex Dan Sullivan and Ted Cruz’s peepees for rolling back our rights. It would be nice to return a tiny taste of the suffering they’ve inflicted on us all. Thank you!!!! #AkLeg #Alaska #Transgender #Witch #MidtermElections #Election

we can only hope this obscenely Baroque election cycle leads to some sort of reform. y'all know it's illegal to campaign for longer than 30 days in some countries? that PACs are illegal? that contributions from businesses are capped?

“The internet is a store but it used to be a library” hits me like a slug to the chest

Ted Cruz really brought out the Dan Sullivan voters.

Props to all the leftwing transgender witches out there in the muskeg bogs of Alaska. 🖤🖤🖤

No ISBNs in Canada for AI writing. This is a fantastic policy, and every country should do the same. www.canada.ca/en/library-a...
