Discovered the Yukon in 1985, never leaving. Historian, traveller, photographer, writer, wilderness hiker, naturist, dog lover, antifa - on some particularly fine days, all of those things. Photos are mine unless otherwise credited.

Alaska Sen. Dan Sullivan is a Republican - of course he lied. He is firmly convinced that you're all stupid, or he wouldn't have been elected even once.

Sen. Dan Sullivan made claims last week that the proposed Ambler Road is supported by all Alaska Native people, but that is a bold lie. Over 70 Alaska Native Tribes, 14 Canadian First Nations, & 3 major tribal consortia, as well the National Congress of American Indians, ALL OPPOSE THE AMBLER ROAD

I pulled the motorcycle out to put it away for the winter yesterday, then changed my mind. The next 4 days could all be riding days.

The No Kings/Anti-Trump rallies (over 2,200 of them) throughout the States on Saturday could get very "interesting". Stay safe, my friends, but #RESIST the fascist regime. deanblundell.substack.com/p/breaking-c...

Yesterday, Ukrainian kamikaze drones again attacked the Russian oil refinery Bashneft in Ufa - 1,400 km from the front line.

In a fairly crowded medical clinic today, 2 people were wearing masks - a staff member with a baggy-blue and me with an N95. Logical thinking just isn't a thing anymore 😔

Burning sourdough bread that badly should get the kitchen staff jail time. And yes, that's twice as thick as mine.

I know you don't want to hear about covid, but here's the situation in Canada today anyway. Pretty serious, don't you agree?

Tara Moriarty @moriartylab.bsky.social · 2d

Infections in Canada this week are expected to result in 4,500 hospitalizations, 780 deaths (people who die at least 1 year earlier than they would without COVID) and 25,000 new long COVID cases serious enough to limit daily life activities.

3 tables showing total expected hospitalizations since Dec 2/21 by province (error range -/+ 10%), total expected ICU admissions since Dec 2/21 by province (error range -/+ 10%), and total expected deaths since Dec 2/21 by province (error range -/+ 10%)

And the men with guns and masks would kill you. It'd be a dramatic statement, though.

The Trump fascist regime has now murdered at least 27 people at sea, with no legal cause.

George Conway 🇺🇸🚫👑🐸 @gtconway.bsky.social · 2d

That's twenty-seven flat-out murders. That's twenty-seven lives taken without even a semblance of a legal justification under domestic or international law.

Today was the final day clearing trees from the long-abandoned corral. I haven't found a supplier of fence posts to rebuild that fence yet - 5-6-inch round, 10 feet long. I may cut trees for them. I don't have a use for the corral but I like the character it adds.

"Don't let people yuk your yum." Love it! Kids sometimes have great ways of phrasing important stuff ❤️

Darren Dahly @statsepi.bsky.social · 2d

What I think I've learned from my kids:

Don't let people yuk your yum

Children are real people

Listen to people when they tell you what their needs are

Accommodating needs seems to more often result in better outcomes than forcing adaptation to environment

The head of the ICE gestapo hates this photo. Yes, it does make him look like a floppy old dick.

Thank you for your attention to this matter

We had a wonderful day, thank you. Because Thanksgiving began as a harvest festival, our colder climate makes celebrating 6 weeks earlier more appropriate.
