Justice Samuel Alito Took Luxury Fishing Vacation With GOP Billionaire Who Later Had Cases Before the Court
In the years after the undisclosed trip to #Alaska, #Republican megadonor Paul Singer’s hedge fund has repeatedly had business before the Supreme Court. #Alito has never recused himself.
Is there a #peony community on masto? I received flowers as a gift, and now I NEED to know what this one is, so I can try to grow them. I live in Interior #Alaska, so any zone 4 and up varieties are out right off the bat…
From what I’ve read, I think this would be considered a “semi-double” bloom? [edit] After looking online for HOURS, I'm pretty sure it's not a Buckeye Belle or a Chief Black Hawk. Black Panther is my current leading candidate.
Ruth Łchav’aya K’isen Miller (Dena’ina Athabaskan and a member of the Curyung Tribe) and Deenaalee Chase-Hodgdon (Deg Hit’an Dene and Sugpiaq) have a radical vision: To reinvigorate ancient #Indigenous trade practices as a means to redistribute wealth, return land and water in #Alaska to Indigenous stewardship, and show that a healthy economy and clean environment can coexist.
This Anchorage Daily News article may be paywalled, but if you can read this piece by Seth Kantner, please do. It speaks to my heart on how climate change is impacting our beloved #Alaska before our very eyes. For some of us of a certain age, solastalgia, the sadness and mourning for the environment we loved but that's been lost, is very real.
SUPER fucking excited to get an updated #COVID booster!
I’ve heard the updated vaccines should be hitting Fairbanks #Alaska as soon as Friday, and I’ve been very nervous about how long it’s been since my last booster—almost 7 months. :blobcatfearful: (I’d been getting updated every 4–6 months until now.)
Who else is planning to get their booster 💉as soon as humanly possible? :blobcatwavereverse:
my ancient iphone 8 couldn't really grasp what was happening, but my ancient panasonic lumix picked up quite a bit with its little leica lens on aperture priority #aurora#alaska
Thanks to a local summer veggie subscription, I’ve been #cooking with #morels for the first time. :blobcataww:
Tonight was morel risotto and seared #Alaska weathervane #scallops, with fresh grated parm & green onions. :blobcatjustright:
TBH the morel flavor kinda got lost in the risotto. If we get a third bag with the veg subscription this year, I think I’ll do a light cream sauce pasta instead. :blobcatthinking:
Thanks to @leepetersen, this is one of the most spot-on examples of media cluelessness about #Alaska in recent memory. This is like something we'd make up as a joke. If it's not clear what the problem is, explanation in the alt text. @tania@Climatologist49@CarrieinFbx
One Woman Died on an #Alaska Mayor’s Property. Then Another. No One Has Ever Been Charged.
Before they died, Jennifer Kirk and Sue Sue Norton were both victims of domestic violence, but the men involved — the ex-mayor’s sons — faced few consequences despite a long history of similar allegations.
I was late to work, but I'm my defense I had to negotiate with (only slightly) unexpected traffic. Still, my commute is probably prettier than yours. #Alaska#Winter#Trail#Moose
