Early season snow has melted off around town, the mountains to the north are glittering white! A lone spruce kept me company on today's hike.
Disgusting sexist trolls online are trying to expose the identity of Jane Doe, the brave former Cornell student who says she was drugged & sexually assaulted by seven members of the Chi Phi fraternity in 2024. If they want a name, they can have ours. Share this. All Jane Does step forward!
Substack commenter Michael Tracey wants to doxx Jane Doe, the young woman who was brutally raped by seven Cornell University students. He’s using social media to source information about her, saying he will publicly identify Jane Doe if he can. Well Mike, here I am. #IamJaneDoe.
COMMENTARY: Peltola’s words create a teachable moment, but an apology is required, writes Anchorage pastor and former U.S. House candidate Matt Schultz in a commentary republished from Anchorage Press alaskabeacon.com/2026/09/30/p...

We can show Alaska and the nation that apologies are a sign of wisdom and strength, that choosing words of compassion matters, and that people of good character can win elections.

🔥JACK SMITH: "Trump engaged in serious crimes against 🇺🇸- a criminal scheme to prevent a lawful transfer of power... the rule of law faces challenges unlike any we've experienced. I won't be silenced by threats of prosecution. While fear may be contagious, courage is as well."
There are more Cornell frat boys accused of raping one woman than there are trans athletes competing in all of NCAA sports.
Some thoughts on the Cornell rapists I posted on Instagram
Falltime colours are pretty well gone and this next week forecast below freezing temps....winter is not far off I guess
Painful, important read: "Almost 8,000 Native American & Alaska Native students attended the school, part of an oppressive government attempt at forcefully assimilating Native students into White civilization. Its aim was to change them forever by cutting links to their family, language & culture."
An unexpected clue leads to family for an Alaska Native student who died at the Carlisle school, reports Charles Fox for @ict-news.bsky.social via @alaskabeacon.com alaskabeacon.com/2026/09/25/a...
Author Ch'igiionta' gave a talk outlining their upcoming book "The Seward Peninsula 1815-1840" Super interesting of a little known time in this area
I needed a book, a diversion from the swirl of life. This one, like all of @alisonbechdel.bsky.social stuff I've read is so dang good 😊
This is what happens when you get loud and demand Dems not drop trans people. We CAN get orgs to realize this. But we can’t stop with Kaptur. She’s the worst but not the only one. There is NO acceptable anti-trans vote or statement or ad from a Democrat. None. GET LOUDER!
The Congressional Equality Caucus has released the following statement in response to our story indicating they will not back candidates who "scapegoat transgender people." Kaptur does not appear as of this morning on their endorsed list. Several who took the same vote as her still do, sadly.
Blanket response to replies from cis people telling me Dem politicians actually support trans people
I would simply like to live my quiet little life as a trans woman and buy fruit and sing and walk my dog and wave to my neighbors and watch movies and use restrooms without being the subject of a culture “war” where both political parties agree I’m a disgusting freak who doesn’t deserve civil rights
Mandatory read for this flock of politicians abandoning trans and queer folk this election. newrepublic.com/article/2155...
Centrists Won’t Tell You Where “Moderating” on Trans Rights Ends Up
The recent example of the U.K. Labour Party shows that “compromising” rarely stops at some acceptable midpoint.

Yesterday's hike into a waterfall. I'm so appreciative of the time I am outside with friends...
I told the @marypeltola.com campaign: I will literally not rank Peltola if she takes a step further in her anti-trans rhetoric. And if they want my campaign contribution, she will not only walk back those remarks but will FULLY ADVOCATE for the safety and equality of our transgender siblings.
@marypeltola.com Peltola needs to read this. She fell head first into the gop trap.
For my newsletter, I wrote about Democrats coming out against "trans surgery for kids" (which do not happen) and how the myth took over our politics. www.burnsnotice.com/the-trans-ki...
Peltola uses the same bigoted rhetoric as Sophie Cunningham, juxtaposing "men" with "girls" (SC fearmongers about "young girls" competing with "men"). The asymmetrical use of men/girls—rather than the symmetrical boys/girls or men/women—defines trans girls as adults (and infantilizes cis women).
Mom found the ad she called me about yesterday
#Alaskasky if you are a donor or volunteer for Mary Peltola, or just if you want to see her win, please contact her campaign and demand she walk back her transphobic video ad and instead support Alaska's strong tradition of medical privacy. Trans kids have been here for thousands of years.
Fall season open mic night, right here in lovely Nome Alaska 💥
I enjoy printing, except I need to start doing larger pieces. Something like a storyboard.
NEW ESSAY on last week's deluge of Dems embracing anti-trans positions. let's stop fixating on trans ppl & instead recognize that Dems have a cisgender problem. pls share! Medium (friend link): juliaserano.medium.com/on-democrats... & Substack (no paywall): juliaserano.substack.com/p/on-democra...
On Democrats Who Cave in Response to Anti-Trans Attack Ads
and more importantly: a response to all the cis people responding to the way that trans people are responding to said Democrats’ responses
