Are you using Alaska Mill and Feed seed? I think we've gone through 15 lb in the last couple weeks

The rig was used by Conoco Phillips, but owned by Doyon, an Alaska Native corporation. Resource development and Native issues are intertwined in a complicated way up here.

I look forward to the national press butchering the pronunciation of Yakutat

Strategies Against Architecture 2025. Post-post-post modern

Also, the feds didn't consult the actual villagers when considering where to locate the village. I think at least one village is where it is because that's where the barge with construction materials got stuck.

Native villages in Alaska are federally recognized tribes. It makes me sad to think about all of the graves, art, regalia, photos, and cultural history unique to each village that was just destroyed.

So many Natives doing groundbreaking work in electronic music. I've heard a lot of good modern global indigenous music on "Reclaimed" on CBC radio.

The Rapture is no stupider than transubstantiation.

I guess the concept of "hate the sin, not the sinner" is over. Was it a pretense the whole time?

Being a landlord is nearly disqualifying in and of itself. I'm pretty skeptical of land developers of any kind as far as public office goes. Too many opportunities for corruption.

There's this one family in the projects where the oldest son is always screaming "Dyn-o-mite!" and that makes me feel unsafe. I also suspect that the youngest boy is a Black Panther.

I think about diseases and pestilence going the other direction and decimating the so-called "old world"

If it was the "McKinley Commission", he'd leave it alone.

Clearly these folks have never seen "Grizzly Man"

I knew a guy who recognized only one agency of the state as legitimate: the department of weights and measures

I think LIHEAP, the heating assistance program, is not getting funding either. Along with bypass mail rates going up, rural Alaska is in for tough time

A cruise ship broke from its moorings a couple days ago because of weather. I hope she is seasick and her yacht and every other yacht is attacked by whales

I remember some of my older friends had a "Nixon is dead" party in 1994

My cat vetoed me checking the canary's cage.

If the Libertarians implode, where am I going to watch a candidate strip on stage during the convention?

No data, no peace

I also have a sweet ginger girl. Since they are somewhat rarer than ginger boys, vets are always checking her junk to make sure she really is a girl. Kind of like right wing politicians.

Other right-wing denialism I've heard over the years: lead in gasoline is no big deal, and using a seatbelt is actually more lethal in an accident than going without.

Didn't he ride the Duke Lacrosse team scandal to right wing media fame?

For a nation where everybody just "got along," we sure had a LOT of militias.

Can you pick something up for me at Spatula City?

Dealing with agencies really delivers the message that if you're poor, disabled, or Native, your time is of no value, and you should be grateful for whatever crumbs finally fall from the table. Stay strong

"In the Penal Colony" has kind of a cruelty is the point vibe.
