While it feels like democracy is collapsing, there are bright stars.
I am so honored to have won this national Cherisse Eatmon Collective Impact Award with my colleague Rep. Justin Ruffridge.
We work well together because we respect each other and that makes all the difference. #akleg

This isn't a fight against one another. It is a fight against wanna be kings.
It is a fight to protect our freedoms.
That is the American dream that is worth fighting for.

After listening to EK & TNC, I am left with this:
“Now let us begin. Now let us re-dedicate ourselves to the long and bitter, but beautiful, struggle for a new world.” MLK, Jr.
The destination was never in question and I refuse to change the goalposts simply because we are behind.

My dad's Free Little Library is now mapped.
If you are up in Nome, stop by! He says he has kid's books, adventure books, and dictionaries!

Earlier today I submitted my comments to the State Medical Board.
In addition to a resolution prohibiting gender affirming care for youth, the State Medical Board is also considering new regulatory language to limit abortions that may occur after the first trimester.

How bad was slavery...
My mother's people were original land stewards with our own tribal identities robbed and stripped of our heritage.
And despite every endeavor to erase us, we resist. We persist.
I persist. Not just for my own people's liberation, but for everyone's.

The start of the weekend was awesome...went to McCarthy and spent time with a good friend. The end of the weekend, the absolute worst. It has been a total loss of all my refrigerator pickles, homemade sauerkraut, aged egg nog, and heirloom culture homemade yogurt. Saved the frozen corn stock tho.

I successfully navigated the hordes of well meaning out-of-state tourists who like to randomly stop in the middle of the sidewalk or trail.

It was simply horrible.
The easy-to-navigate public transit, the clean walkable streets, the delicious restaurants, and getting to see old friends.
Truly terrible. #DCStatehoodNow

In a rare moment, my gratitude and appreciation renders me speechless.
The words "thank you" are too blasé for how overwhelmed I am feeling.

Coming at you live from Nome, Alaska: A Little Free Library 📚📚📚
For Christmas my family gave my dad a Little Free Library kit so he could start to share with Nome all the books my sister and I enjoyed as kids.
Earlier this week, he was finally able to get it mounted.

Made a quick trip up to Nome to help my father fish and attend the opening of the 1990 Kegoayah Kozga Public Library Summer Reading Program time capsule.
Inside were "relics" from the 1990s, including - much to my delight - a mint condition New Kids On the Block poster.
