his book "is not an analysis but a story because the truth of the revolution in Morelos is in the feeling of it which I could not convey through defining its factors but only through telling of it." Albert Hirschman quoting John Womack's Zapata and the Mexican Revolution

Anthropologists tell stories in order to analyze the sh*t out of them, but sometimes I'd rather they'd just run with the story and cut the analytic crap.

It’s VERY important that #Vancouver’s Downtown Business Association, who were originally against downtown bike-lanes, are now among their most vigourous supporters, because of the evidence that they are better for downtown business than any street parking they replaced. Bike-lanes mean business.

Wow. When I was there 20 years ago this was still decked. (Though I was told to walk on the nailheads. In case.) 20ish years ago, at another cannery upcoast of this, Butedale, I saw dozens of barrels that the caretaker said were full of PCBs. Dock under them was still solid then. Now?

This might be a big deal. Appeal court disagrees w NWT that govt-led caribou management is the only way. Allows Colville Lake community plan based on Dene practice to be considered. Hurdles ahead, but still. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

The 'atlantification' of the Arctic, reported earlier around Svalbard, extends east to Yakutia, according to Russian scientists in this report. It also notes European scientists haven't had access to Russian data for three years. www.thebarentsobserver.com/climate-cris...

"Atlantification" of the Arctic Ocean first noted almost 75 years ago, though without that label. Nordic scientists were recording temperature and wind change, calling it 'climatic changes." Scientists in Canada were among those paying attention. www.thebarentsobserver.com/climate-cris...

Still true among fishers. I've seen bird books on tuna boats and other West Coast boats that go offshore.

it's only a mandate to continue the process, but NWMO approach seems far different to Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission in the Chalk River decision, and far closer to - 1980s Alberta. www.nwonewswatch.com/local-news/w...
