Some people unwind on Saturday nights. I think about Wild Alaska Pollock… how one humble, sustainable fish keeps showing up in school lunches, global markets, and American jobs. Not a bad companion, honestly.

Opinion: One night outside provides a lifetime of perspective Alaska’s homeless and at-risk youths are just kids β€” and Covenant House gives them a real path to safety and hope.

This time of year I think it's worth taking time to reflect on all the good we can do for others. Alaska has more extremes than most places, and this place works best when we show up for others.

My take "goods and services cost money even if they're public goods" is still incredibly unpopular.

Mashed potatoes are a cheap filler food and don't belong at Thanksgiving.

The adults: "we don't keep score at this age"

The kids: "It was 6-7, I had a hat trick and went +2 with an assist, we're on a two game streak and are the second best team in our league"

Jobs brought most of my transplant friends here. Schools and childcare (and sometimes better jobs) have consistently been what sends them out of state.

I find it interesting when people think the solution to negative net migration is keeping more kids (who grew up here, have family here, understand the place, and have a good idea of the opportunities & want to leave) here, rather than finding more people who want what AK is offering.

Childcare is a big deal for keeping transplants up here. "Figure it out" works when Grandma lives in town. "Figure it out" for a transplant means moving back to the Lower 48.

Saw a take that most of the base of any statewide sales or income tax is mostly the Anchorage metro area - and that would make the politics of spending elsewhere interesting. Something I knew but hadn't thought enough about #akleg

I started looking into it when I heard they were here - sounds like crab cakes and lots of seasoning is the trick

I'm joining the Covenant House Alaska sleep out, and right now there is a dollar for dollar match to provide their kids (who are disproportionately LGBTQ, Alaska Native and/or young mothers) with housing & education. Please donate!

DU hockey falls in the series opener against Alaska Anchorage as the Seawolves win it in overtime. Back-to-back losses for the Pios in which they dramatically out-shot their opponent.

Thank you too thread Alaska for 40 years of working to improve quality and accessibility to child care. AK has come a long way and we have a long way to go in the next 40 years! ##akleg

For $10 you can take kids to the dump and watch big trucks for hours.

For the last 5 years Ive joined this event in solidarity with homeless youth in AK and raise $ to provide housing, food, and support.

Most years because of twitter/bluesky users I outraise oil co and executive types. A lot of you give a little, and it adds up

I know one way to help homeless kids in Alaska - and there's similar events across the lower 48
