Chopping wood. Carrying water. Living in Alaska. Reader, writer, researcher. You’ll find me on a walk, playing in the snow, or growing things.
I remember learning in history that we dropped pamphlets in countries. But I didn’t know we also did that with books like Animal Farm. Only a little ways in & already longing for the days Russia could drop some Dostoyevsky on my head instead of hate filled viral videos.

This is great movement on the new shelter!
Juneau Animal Rescue is a step closer toward a long-awaited new shelter as the Juneau Assembly on Monday advanced a proposal allowing the facility to lease an eight-acre site at $10 a year for the next 35 years.

And it's exactly stories like these, about local people and our communities instead of click bait, that are the real tragedy in the big media battles. When KYUK loses, we all lose.

KYUK, one of the few sources of local news and native language programming in the region devastated by last month's storm, lost federal funding that was up to 70% of its budget and plans to make cuts in January.

I had a hard time donating food in Douglas, no response from pantries, so ended up driving out to the food bank and tetrised my bags of food into the already almost full bin💜
Since then I’ve seen lots of local places collecting food as drop off locations. Juneau Urgent Care, the city museum, IDEA.

Good info on ways to help and where to get food in this article.
Food assistance payments are unlikely to be distributed on Saturday as scheduled. That leaves as many as 2,000 SNAP recipients in Juneau without the means to buy food.

Yesterday I finished Welcome to the Hyunam-dong Bookshop. It was a balanced mix of coziness and deep thoughts about finding happiness and community. Some dialogue felt out of place, but I’m not sure if that’s translation or cultural. Overall, I really enjoyed it.

It’s going to be a rough winter if this is how AEL&P rolls. Third outage in a week with calm weather.

Good morning from Bethel. I was here to cover a few cultural events, and am now covering the Western Alaska storm - damage, rescue and recovery efforts.
