🚨 WHAT HAVE YOUR LAWMAKERS DONE FOR YOU, LATELY?
It’s the end of the session in Juneau. Everything lawmakers worked on this year has been pulled together and measured with a single grade.
🚌 Schools. 🏡 Housing. ⚡️ Energy. 💰 The PFD. 🧠 Mental health funding. All of it feeds into one final result.
The report card is out. 👉🏿 https://shorturl.at/oAHOl

🚨Alaska is seriously debating … cabbage! 🥬
Yes, really. A giant cabbage is moving one step closer to becoming an official state symbol. But, behind the jokes is a bill that says something about how Alaska defines itself. Now it heads to its next stop.

My friends will be in Juneau briefly at the end of the month, I'm *trying* not to photodump. They aren't hiking, which is pretty much all I do when I'm there, are there any really good restaurants? I usually buy things from Rainbow foods, takeout pizza..., they're fine diners, so I'm clueless.

I think I’m going to turn in early tonight, y’all,

(for me, anyway).

I’m processing a lot and my brain feels so overtaxed that it’s a struggle to think or even breathe at times. I’ve been struggling to even message Juneau, and that’s been quite easy of late. I think I’ve overworked myself into a hole.

So I’m going to have a leisurely smoke and then I think I’m going to attempt sleep.

G’night, y’all.

If y’all want to help me feel less overtaxed, please check out my Patreon. It would be a huge help. 💛

Eight wrote this in 2022.

it’s images like this i’d live and die for 
kept securely within my chest, 
a less piercing form of homesickness 
more beautiful - 
you aren’t here and yet i feel - and i want you -
as if you were in the next room 

it’s been years and i am just now telling you 
things that i, before, kept lodged in my throat 
it scares me still but i want you to know 
the same way i did that way in july when i first 
overcame my fear 
so let me find words for the finest kind 
of golden hour within my mind - 

you call me a hurricane, a sea
but what if, for a moment, i was still, 
held, wrists in your hands 
above my head?
i am all angles and curves in all the wrong places 
hard-edged everywhere i should be soft
eyes too dark to be this light 
but what if i was beautiful, something close to gentle,
then, there, to you?
i’ve spent my life as soon as i could 
running, but what if, for once, 
i didn’t want to flee, 
held fast in that early morning light?
then at last, desperation could go unspoken, 
but be known and seen and felt…

🇺🇸 In 1942, Juneau High School left an empty chair at graduation.
It wasn’t a mistake. It was for their missing valedictorian.
What happened next became one of Alaska’s most powerful stories of injustice, courage, and community.

Be The Fletcher To My Island

Sometimes having DID and headmates that are JUST as talented as you at both the same things – and different ones – is a fuckin’ gas, y’all.

Back in 2014-ish I wrote a poem that turned into one of my better-known songs about a crush of mine. It was called “My Island”. I was obsessed with the Mutiny on the Bounty for reasons I still can’t quite articulate, and the second verse contains one of my favorite lines I’ve ever written:

“Be the Fletcher to my island, be the Fletcher coming coming home”

I’m not entirely sure why that line gets me so bad more than a decade later. It may be the fact that it’s a reference to Fletcher Christian, leader of the Mutiny on the Bounty, choosing the South Pacific over duty, country, etc., and settling with a few members of his crew in one of the most remote places on Earth, Pitcairn Island, after mutinying, and wanting to feel chosen like that. Maybe it’s my love for history references in general. Maybe it’s that I still yearn for people like I did when I was 14-17 and I struggle to express it now, and I love that line so much because it’s My Peak Teenage Yearning, something I feel like I can’t verbalize anymore, even though I’m arguably more safe now to do so than I was then.

Anyway, here’s the original take as it appeared on our first self released EP Fletcher Coming Home: Good Stuff From 2014.

A different cut appeared awhile later on our first album The Mellon Session as well:

But my favorite version of “My Island” came much later when Eight was host and he snuck into a church while bored out of his fucking skull to record this absolutely achingly beautiful take of “My Island” for his then-partner Juneau.

I can still feel the longing even now, and his arrangement is so fucking beautiful.

Holy shit.

On people crawling out of the woodwork…

Eight’s ex, Juneau, resurfaced a few days ago. They broke up a whole bunch of times, most recently in early 2023 after a series of events beginning with what we now call Kiragate and ending with his polycule splitting in half over him dumping his ex, Leigh, and refusing to pick a side in the months-long conflict between his then-partner Sol and best friend at the time, whom we will call Birch. Juneau took the contingent who had bonded with Leigh and Sol in the divorce, as it were. You can read more about that situation here. We call all of this the Great Schism of 2022-23.

He’s popped up a few times since then, but given Eight’s history with him and the fact that they would break up, get back together, and break up again over the years over a variety of things, he ended up blocked on most everything. He reached out via a comment on our old LiveJournal blog that I had honestly half forgotten about since I mostly post here these days.

He didn’t know whether I was alive or not and he wasn’t sure if I was going to even respond. I responded because the fact that he’s popped back up after all this time made me laugh. He also added me on Snapchat. I despise that app, so I ended up giving him my number.

I asked Hawthorne if he’d also reached out to them, and weirdly enough, he had.

I’m wondering what the fuck he wants…
