Tsundoku. Guilty!
Called out 😭
Twitter accounts are based in Russia. BlueSky accounts are based in homes with, frankly, too many books, plants, obsolete cables, and pieces of rustic pottery, that could do with a bit of a tidying up, to be honest.

So many problems remain with their permitting processes. Not an engineer—but when I looked at this some years ago it appeared their gas pipeline plans for going under braided rivers were not adequately considering substantial risk of undercutting and earthquakes.

As various emails come to the surface I am thinking with care about SA survivors who are waking up to evidence of truths long understood but hidden. May the coming days of emotion bring with them, ultimately, some justice.

@brdemuth.bsky.social awhile back you asked Bluesky followers about books which cast non-humans with agency.
I imagine you already know of the book Storm by George R Stewart, 1941, but definitely I am thinking of you as I read it.
Looking forward to Kachemak this year! Hope you are well.

Excellent read. Both stories remind me so much of why I choose AK as my home. There’s a richness to the cultural values here that is unobtrusive but infuses so much of our lives, if we choose to allow them to.

I said I would do this last night but I was too tired so lets do it today. A few caveats - not saying this list is exhaustive, it's just a good place to start. It's also not in chronological order because I'm a chaos gremlin
I'm going to a thing with other humans but when I get back I'll make a little reading list so you can educate yourself and others on why the NYT is an objectively bad for democracy news outlet we've been tricked into respecting. Skeeting this to hold myself accountable

So, I’ve never heard anyone describe the experience of transporting a cat on a long plane trip. First trip went fine. Yesterday’s trip, not as fine.
Let’s just say the layover was messy, and neither of us were a fan of showering together after arriving. But we survived and are still friends.
