Cue the spooky music...Halloween is here!
This is the time of the year that I reflect on how quick kids grow up. Mine have been out of the house for years. One isn't even in this country. I miss doing all the holiday things with them. Grateful for friends and their kids!

Did Rep. Sarah Vance really just ask if there are any notable Hispanics in Alaska?

I heard it loud and clear. This kind of erasure is unacceptable.
Let’s show her just how notable our community is.
Give her a call: 907-465-2689
Let her know your name, your story, and why you matter.

10 years ago, I was behind bars, serving six and a half years.
My cellie Donna and I would watch TV in the evening and one night we watched Rick Steves Europe and he featured the Camino de Santiago.

The three photos are gruesome and heartbreaking, and the district attorney brought them out before the judge for sentencing only when it was convenient. Not at trial. Worse, the Anchorage Police Department did nothing.

How do police officers find images like these on a man's phone WHEN THEY ARE ARRESTING HIM FOR MURDER and do nothing? Imagine these images unaltered. Because I don't have to, I found them tucked into a filing before sentencing. amberbatts.com/2024/09/13/5...

The decision to abolish Native American Heritage Month in the military is nothing short of a slap in the face to the thousands of Native soldiers who have fought and died for a country that still refuses to respect them. It sends a clear message.

Alaskans, did you think you were getting a Begich? Because you are getting a Floridian...

I often look up Alaska court cases charged.
And when I want to be consumed by by frustration, I look up Alaska court cases disposed.
As a formally incarcerated woman in Alaska, seeing charges like this dismissed while I sat in jail with women in for non-violent crimes, disgusts me.

The Anchorage Assembly gave a grant to MASH Property Management, operated by Mark Begich, to operate up to 132 beds.
This is big money, in the hands politicians profiting on the unhoused problem.

I took a picture of this amazing art piece in the ARTS building at UAA last Wednesday. It is huge, and from someone taking a class there. I wish their name or initials were on here so I could give them credit. It is stunning.

You wouldn't last an hour in the asylum where they raised me...

This place was a regular school field trip location when I was growing up.

I still remember the smell.

Curious, where were your school field trips?

When I'm feeling depressed I just imagine the unhappy, miserable haters picking fights in the schoolyard of X.

What happens when only bullies are left?

Do they turn on each other.

I'm not staying around to watch that show.
