Great news! This issue has emerged most recently in a contested case on proposed uranium exploration, in which a number of parties are first language Lakota speakers. 🔥
Repeated appeals to include interpretive services have been rejected by the state Board of Minerals.

Wasn’t up for a full day of work in the woods yet after this latest bout of flu-sinus-crud.
But, oh! The air was so clear & lovely as I slogged through actual SNOW for a couple hours at 6100’ grabbing water samples and assessing wind damaged trees.

I swear I completed so many lil pieces of so many projects today that I can’t even account for all of it.
AND I got to stand in the SUN streaming through the upper window of my office like it hasn’t done since early November.
Feels like getting ahead ☺️

In a cabin in a canyon w/ no direct sunlight from +/- beginning of November to +/- beginning of February, I am totally vibing w/ #BigFebruary excitement
A quick reminder of what #BigFebruary is about…
Thanks to the magic of the cosmos, we start gaining daylight much faster in Feb than in Jan. Over 20 mins a week - setting us up for Spring.
This chart is by @neilrkaye.bsky.social and is one of my all time favourites.

Damn. I don’t remember why I was at home, but I remember sitting on the floor of our living room, watching the launch and subsequent explosion on tv.
Forty years ago, today, the Space Shuttle Challenger exploded in mid air after being launched, killing all 7 crew members; one was a school teacher. It was a sad day for space travel & history.

Hard to take my mind off friends in MN, but there’s plenty (so much plenty!) of work to do here in Western SoDak.
Good feelings tonight as Hot Springs City Council voted unanimously to support neighboring Oglala Lakota County’s request/appeal to hold uranium exploration permit hearing locally. 🧵

i feel like the viral bus thread resonates because at every step of the way you're like "ok surely this will be resolved shortly, any second now," which seems like what all the passengers are also thinking. then the fact that the situation doesn't resolve and the bus just keeps going is an Allegory
