The sun has officially set in Utqiaġvik, Alaska and won't rise again until January 22nd 2026...

Once sun dips below horizon in mid November, it stays below it for roughly 65 days. This period is called polar night, but it’s not pitch black whole time.

Suffragist and educator Frances Willard riding her bicycle, Gladys (because it made her glad).

“I learned to bicycle when 50... and I think it is one of the best things I ever did. What pleases me is to see other worn-out women take it up, and find a new lease of health and life thereby."

It turns out that the folks at Anthropic used two of my books to train their Large Language Models. I've gone and submitted my claim via the class action settlement. If you're an author whose work has been stolen, you should too
