i’ll let this anchorage daily news op-ed have the last word here: “Lower 48 news outlets have a history of failing to understand Alaska, and only randomly and quickly coming north to dig for gold, though often just taking home dirt.”

Opinion: New York Times Peltola story wins the Fox News Unfair and Unbalanced Award

New York Times journalists have allowed half of the story to elude them — the half that most Alaskans know, and Lower 48 reporters should too.

3 Days until midterms & there are still people you know who won't vote. They are waiting for you to show them why their vote matters. GOP have delivered corruption & cruelty on scale we have never seen. Share this with someone today. #DV1 #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory #USDemocracy whovoted4this.org

We can all unproductively argue with each other now while ballots are being cast with fascists currently in power, or we can have much better arguments with each other when we're in power. I know which scenario I prefer. Win in November, argue in January.

Happy Halloween! I’m part of the culture crew for remote teams at work & co-lead a social club called Bird Nerds for all things birdwatching & nature & arts & stories for wellbeing. Asked to host our virtual Halloween party, there was really only one costume for me: Dr. Clara Mandrake. Caw! Caw!

None of the comedic talent of gone too soon Catherine O’Hara…but I did enjoy poking fake crow feathers into a lab coat and all throughout my hair for my Dr. Clara Mandrake DIY Halloween costume. My inspiration — Catherine O’Hara in character as Moira Schitt as Dr. Clara Mandrake in front of a green screen “filming” The Crows Have Eyes: The Crowening. Caw! Caw!Full view of my DIY Halloween costume: Dr. Clara Mandrake. Out in my front yard with yellow gold autumn leaves all around. A neighbor came outside across the street and simply yelled: “The Crowening?” :)At work and on screen for my agency’s virtual Halloween party The Battle of the Boos. I’m in costume - at work - as Dr. Clara Mandrake and I created a faux green screen with a giant nest with crow feathers sticking out and in the upper right in Halloween font it says “The Crows Have Eyes 3: The Crowening.”

It’s a perfectly moody Halloween morning with a rare overcast October day in Ohio this year. Today & tomorrow are the last days to vote early in person at our ONE voting location in all of Franklin County. And then it’s Election Day. Work some magic Ohio & let’s start to untrump our State. 🗳️💙

Our post WWII-built home under a soft get overcast sky. Some trees have already lost all their leaves. We have pumpkins and purple, red and yellow mums and purple Sherrod Brown and Amy Acton yard signs along with a sign that says Love Your Neighbor in red white and blue listing LGBTQ+ and BIPOC and Religiously Different and Immigrant neighbors. Looking up into an overcast Halloween morning with the tops of trees and autumn leaves framing the view. Looking through threes with golden orange autumn leaves with a cloudy morning sky in the background.

Love it. My favorite part about this is Buc-cees is owned by conservatives who have vowed to never let their gas stations open in blue states. It's like Talarico wandering into the lions den and the lions loving him instead of eating him.

Happy #Caturday! And a happy update to the kitten battle over the kitchen counter orthopedic chair cushion now fancy cat bed: there is peace in the land of cats who run our home. Queen Scout and Prince Séamus are sharing the throne.

Orange boy Prince Séamus is tentatively settling in next to Queen Scout. Each loafing one on side of an orthopedic chair cushion set out on the kitchen counter. So a cat in each “cheek.” 😂Queen Scout the grey tabby has allowed orange boy Prince Séamus to fully settle in and lay down next to her on the chair cushion. Truly impressive cat tushes squished next to each other — a photo of Séamus and Scout taken from behind as they loaf in the chair cushion.

Update. The old orthopedic support chair cushion now fancy new cat bed situation is getting tricky. 3 year old Scout is unamused by baby Séamus right now. #cats #caturday on a Wednesday.

Trump is reportedly planning to restart war with Iran after the election. Some of us have been briefed on the war plan. And while I cannot disclose any details, I can say this: the plan is insane. It will not achieve objectives and will set off a new cycle of escalation.
