I'm not online much lately, for reasons. One of ours, all of yours. Alaskans - remember Schaeffer Cox and his 2-4-1 plan? To take out two people in authority (or their family) for each one of his militia who was arrested? Yeah. That's what I keep thinking of.

The number of people in Alaska who are outraged at the need for a passport when they cross into Canada (a foreign and sovereign nation) is boggling. Especially considering how many of these same people have opinions on the borders of the United States. Why yes, I am in line at the post office.

Hey gang, my Clarke Award shortlisted novel SEA OF RUST is on sale for just $1.99 this week. Got two bones? Get the book Esquire Magazine called one of the best 75 science fiction novels ever written. Quite literally one of my favorite things I've ever put to paper for less than the price of a soda!

I leave the info for those who have died in my address book as a way to be reminded of them randomly, when it’s a nice memory. Poignant, but it’s good to be reminded of those who still bring a smile. That being said, I think today I will finally delete the card of Nordstrom Anchorage. It’s time

OK, enough drowning myself in miserable homicidal politics on my personal bsky… I’m thinking of taking my new funky medieval sled dog illustration, and turning the individual dogs into stickers. Whaddya think?

A very rough draft of a very stylized illustration of a sled dog, with a thick white outline around it, to mimic how the image might look if it were cut out as a sticker.

I’m Scandinavian death cleaning and finding some things I’m not quite ready to dispose of. But I do like the grouping of my UA medal (got an award), my WorldCon ribbon and the badge on a lanyard from the time I was designated as Media at a UAF event. I did use hashtags at the event!

When someone engages in addiction transfer activities such as going from alcoholism to ultra running it's fascinating how many are cool with the change in compulsive activity but don't follow through to address the issues that drive compulsion. Eh, gotta get that dopamine one way or another.

Not only does the FDIC not fall under executive branch control - IT DOESN'T EVEN USE TAXPAYER MONEY. IT'S SELF-FUNDED. DOGE is lying about their purpose. They are a nihilistic attempt to destroy the government due to a belief that all government not in the service of oligarchy is bad.

The cover for Uncanny Magazine Issue 59, “Lunacy Act I" by Broci: A woman with a red dress with tattered ends and white collar stands on the right side. Her hands are held out, disconnected from her arms as a moon lies beneath them. Around her there is a forest in shades of brown, grey and green; one of the trees has a charm attached to it. Her brown-blond hair is held upwards as if the wind were running through it. Nearby there are several butterflies that glow a light green. The names of the contributors, as well as “Uncanny July/August Issue 59,” are atop the image in white letters.
