I’d write a song that says “ I love you like a raven loves the wind,” but I don’t know if a human heart can hold that much of that kind of love. - quote from myself; watching them ride the storm today, Dzantik'i Heeni, Aaak'w Kwáan, Lingít Aaní.

Anchorage airport finally dropped below freezing early Sunday morning for the first time this autumn. This is the second latest "first autumn freeze" in 74 years of climate obs. The typical "first freeze" is now 11 days later than it was in the 1950s. #akwx #Climate @climatologist49.bsky.social

I knew it was gonna suck, but Congress giddily going along with the plan of having zero power is definitely not something I expected. I would have hoped that their egos would have prevented them from just allowing all their power to be taken away without a fight.
