1962, children with Blazo cans & boxes at Kokhanok. Most Alaska historians--myself included--fail to emphasize Blazo's prominence. Made by Chevron, this fuel's wooden shipping boxes became furniture & decorations across Alaska. Via Anchorage Museum #alaskahistory #alaska

It’s almost like green energy is the only way forward and a handful of oil barons are doing everything in their power to keep that from happening so they can get even richer at the cost of literally everything else in the world.
Wall Street’s biggest banks made more money financing green projects than they did from working with fossil fuel companies for a fourth straight year, even as they faced ongoing pressure to pull back from the business

Chugach received boatloads of scathing criticism from their members over the fact that they’re automatically including everyone in the program and requiring you to opt out if you don’t want to participate.
I suspect this is their way of withdrawing the idea while trying to save face.

The AFL-CIO should start throwing some money towards labor journalism. If it was done right (i.e. with them accepting that journalists must have full editorial control over what’s published, whether or not union leaders like what they have to say) it could really have such a hugely positive impact

Chena Ridge Road is not yet included on this Fairbanks map. I know Chena Ridge was mostly homesteaded in the ’50s.
@chenaridge.bsky.social Do you know whether the road existed in 1952?

1952 USGS map detail of Fairbanks area. The Weeks Field airstrip is still present, probably for around the last time. Note how far the new airport was from Fairbanks proper then. #alaskahistory #alaska

I am not going to compromise my values. I am not going to speak in platitudes or shy away from the truth. And I certainly am not going to throw immigrants or trans kids under the bus because some consultant told me it polls really well with Republicans.

A report published by the Alaska Department of Revenue last month says the state treasury will benefit far less from the new Willow oil project than previously estimated. (via @alaskabeacon.com)
New estimate projects 50% less Alaska state revenue from proposed Willow oil project
Some state officials have pinned their hopes on new oil revenue as a solution to the state’s ongoing budget woes.

My Weingarten rights mean that I always have a witness when the boss wants to be an asshole.
Why do you appreciate unions?
I’ll start:
Weekends off
Paid vacations
Work breaks
Sick leave
Paid holidays
No child labor
Safer working conditions
Health care and retirement benefits

![There was disagreement among labor unions at this time about when a holiday celebrating workers should be, with some advocating for continued emphasis of the September march-and-picnic date while others sought the designation of the more politically charged date of May 1. Conservative Democratic President Grover Cleveland was one of those concerned that a labor holiday on May 1 would tend to become a commemoration of the Haymarket affair and would strengthen socialist and anarchist movements that backed the May 1 commemoration around the globe.[18] In 1887, he publicly supported the September Labor Day holiday as a less inflammatory alternative,[19] formally adopting the date as a United States federal holiday through a law that he signed in 1894.[2]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:grvqetqdu4ws6qbb5wfah5go/bafkreihycnfsti4o2shhbjoyqdan35n44c22qfr5owpjt3zyma6q6bz3fi@jpeg)

This is like a Eurail pass for Southeast Alaska. It could be marketed in combination with the Alaska Long Trail to backpacking travelers. What an amazing way to spend a summer!
I think that there was once an off-season pass. For quite a while, there was a round-trip ticket from Bellingham to Skagway (or maybe it was earlier, so Seattle to Skagway) that would allow walk-on passengers to simply get on and/or get off within a month.
