We are on an epic journey here in Alaska, but this little town of Wrangell might be our favorite. At least so far.

I've been eavesdropping on two great horned owls in conversation, but now a saw whet has taken over the discourse. Punctuated by a winnowing snipe.

Y'all, watching fascists take over your country is exhausting. Anyhow, I've been doing some graphic design, printing t-shirts, trying to paint, dropping the ball on #The100DayProject... and I made these. You're welcome to use them. Pls link them to a statement promising not to use "AI" in your art.

Each time you ask an AI chatbot a question, it sends a request to a data center and strains an increasingly scarce resource: water. A 🧵on our investigation into how the data centers that power AI are increasingly being built in highly water-stressed places: www.bloomberg.com/graphics/202...

Happy 80th, dear Christy Moore. I finally got to see him perform last year–in Vicar Street, no less. Something I'd dreamed of for 25 years. What a force. www.youtube.com/watch?v=-mjW...

A big win for Alaska's Chilkat Watershed. For the last decade a scrappy group of Tribal and conservation leaders & local residents has fended off international mining companies' attempts to develop a mine at the Chilkat headwaters. We've run off yet another mining company. khns.org/mineral-expl...
