Florida's Supreme Court just nuked the right to privacy despite strong language in their state constitution. Here are the relevant articles of FL and AK constitutions. Worrisome to think a simple change in Alaska courts could do the same here. But also, FL is going to flip blue, because this is BS that women won't put up with. #abortion https://wapo.st/3IYT8ii

I am stunned. Bravo to Sec. Haaland and Joe Biden. It's worth reviewing this reporting from 2021 on the Ambler Road and Seth Kantner's 2014 essay. https://www.politico.com/interactives/2021/how-joe-bidens-green-climate-agenda-threatens-the-alaskan-wilderness/

Peony simple syrup. Verdict: not as good as lilac but has its place. Turns from brown to pink with lemon juice.

Trying my hand this year at saving ranunculus corms. Basically dig up em, let em dry, rehydrate in spring. Sounds easier than dahlias! #bloomscrolling

I wasn't too interested in SCOTUS flag-gate but I am sure glad @nytimes kept digging. Now we know #Alito is a liar. Unfit for Justice.

"It is pure insanity that Israel is now more than six months into this war and the Israeli military leadership — and virtually the entire political class — has allowed Netanyahu to continue to pursue a “total victory” there, including probably soon plunging deep into Rafah, without any exit plan or Arab partner lined up to step in once the war ends.

As a public school teacher in Anchorage, I had to report any gifts from parents worth more than $50. Most years I taught in Title I schools and it wasn't an issue.
