Game on! The puck has dropped. I'm on the north side by the Zamboni entrance with my picture book. My neighbor is @fumikasp.bsky.social and has an amazing hand painted pop-up book. #tcaf

Peep this new topper banner @gipki.bsky.social sewed for me :') I'm on the corner at table 101 on ice. See you this weekend at @torontocomics.bsky.social #tcaf ❤️‍🔥

#akleg I'm out of state at the moment and a bit behind on the happenings but I love that multiple friends decided to send me photos of Dunleavy in the big boy chair. Is this from the *sus*tainable energy conference?

Ok. So I have clearly found the last column in the spreadsheet.

Top Space Man is TEN!?

As I drifted through the eerily empty streets this morning, a sign broadcast an explanation and a warning, this region had already fallen to the Melon Madness.

Hey Alaskans: #alaskasky

A very kind assessment of our little three-ring circus 💛

#akleg It appears to be a fairly standard practice in the policy realm but I find it wildly offensive when people offer to ghostwrite an op-ed for me. "Would you consider writing an op-ed on topic XYZ" is fine but please don't show up with a draft of what you hope I think.

President Trump has granted clemency to 16 corrupt politicians—so far. It’s all part of a sweeping effort to decriminalize political corruption. Here's what you should know... 🧵

If you didn't get the switch 2 don't fret. You can always...switch 2 a book 😏

The honest reason I don't have microtransactions/season pass/ads/100 DLCs/etc in Balatro isn't just about the ethics of those practices but because when I play other games that have those things it makes me want to put my computer in the dishwasher and set it to pots & pans

If you're following Commissioner Deena Bishop's attempted $15 million grab from ASD, here's a thing. A cease and desist from Alaska’s own public education fire-breathing dragon Löki Gale Tobin and Rep. Himschoot. Wouldn’t want to be a DEED employee right now. 👀 #akleg

HAWLEY: Let's see the Trump chart. You don't think it's a little bit anomalous that Trump has so many more nationwide injunctions against him? KATE SHAW: A very plausible explanation you have to consider is that he's engaged in much more lawless activity than other presidents

I think you should know that Trump put the same gold-framed painting of Reagan in the Oval Office as can be seen in the office of the colonel in the movie “MacGruber.”

Now an editors pick!

Alaska's *only* jobs corps facility, now training and housing 160 students from around the state has been ordered closed by the U.S. Department of Labor by June 30. Some students were weeks away from graduating.

The Gov of Alaska has til June 19 to line-item veto things in the operating budget. We hope he won’t, but it’s vital to build that case w/ his staff & allies. If yr a constituent of 1 of his #akleg allies, u can share this film & the ILP film w/ them & ask them to speak up. vimeo.com/showcase/115...

Have you tried a *STANDING* desk?

First week of Tlingit opera workshop #3 is in the books! It was a looooot but it’s really taking shape. This week we covered Lingít language, Lingít movement plans, the history of the battles of Sitka, got a feel for the action happening in the libretto, and of course lots and lots of vocal work.

#akleg So what if I collect a bunch of ideas and historical markers from my comics and satirical short films into a small graphic novel along with salient interviews and visions for Alaska's future and also it's a scathing rebuke of the Dunleavy-aligned colonialist policy sect... Is that a thing?

Huge opportunity for a political party that believes government can do good things. Public opinion is finally shifting after 50 years of right wing anti-government propaganda. This isn't the time for cowering and throat clearing www.cnn.com/2025/06/01/p...

So, I think it's time I begin, in detailed specifics, talking about the mess that is Unbound / Boundless as a book publisher, in essence stealing most of a years royalties from me and many other authors, as a result of poor financial decisions, and legal BS. Please read and share this thread.

Someone else said something very similar to this the other day, but. It really burns me that our (millennials') generation was legally terrorized for like, downloading Radiohead discographies But we're supposed to be ok with billionaires stealing human intellectual output in its entirety bc AI

Don’t sleep on this

The Billiken Bar. Best Bar in Douglas, Alaska. Must be true if it's on a belt buckle.
