As various emails come to the surface I am thinking with care about SA survivors who are waking up to evidence of truths long understood but hidden. May the coming days of emotion bring with them, ultimately, some justice.

I heard about this book a few years ago and wished I could read it then! Just started it.

@brdemuth.bsky.social awhile back you asked Bluesky followers about books which cast non-humans with agency.
I imagine you already know of the book Storm by George R Stewart, 1941, but definitely I am thinking of you as I read it.
Looking forward to Kachemak this year! Hope you are well.

Yep! We can end the clock change with HB 229. The competing bill kicks the can down the road.

As far as humans know, we are the only species that chooses to fight against our biological presets, regularly changing our clocks and dragging ourselves into and out of bed at unnatural hours.

I loved this article! I am so grateful for the shift in seasons and being able to slow down, sleep. And will celebrate the turning of the year again in spring.

As Alaska resets its clocks again, we must ask if we can’t even decide what time it is, how can we lead our own future?

Excellent read. Both stories remind me so much of why I choose AK as my home. There’s a richness to the cultural values here that is unobtrusive but infuses so much of our lives, if we choose to allow them to.

I said I would do this last night but I was too tired so lets do it today. A few caveats - not saying this list is exhaustive, it's just a good place to start. It's also not in chronological order because I'm a chaos gremlin
I'm going to a thing with other humans but when I get back I'll make a little reading list so you can educate yourself and others on why the NYT is an objectively bad for democracy news outlet we've been tricked into respecting. Skeeting this to hold myself accountable

So, I’ve never heard anyone describe the experience of transporting a cat on a long plane trip. First trip went fine. Yesterday’s trip, not as fine.
Let’s just say the layover was messy, and neither of us were a fan of showering together after arriving. But we survived and are still friends.

The concept of cognitive dissonance is one of the most profound concepts I learned in college. In more recent years, I think about its relevance to our country as a whole—of cultural dissonance which becomes cultural dissociation. What do we choose, collectively, not to see? Look at that.
I remember the intense, quiet tension of holding two conflicting truths. My childhood preached "love thy neighbor," yet demanded I fear the outsider.
That inner friction has a name: cognitive dissonance. It's the mind's signal that our beliefs and realities have fallen out of sync.
