In Yellowknife!!!! Practical magic!!! The perfect title for those who support the work of the Yellowknife Women's Society.

Lovely colours

Happy Cool as a Cucumber Friday (gin), admittedly not the same ring. But follows a good bison watching day.

Please tell me your secrets. My came in a few weeks ago and they’re really really unhappy.

Wired is dropping paywalls for FOIA-based reporting. Others should follow As the administration does its best to hide public records from the public, Wired magazine is stepping up to help stem the secrecy

They're called public records for a reason. Starting today, WIRED will *stop paywalling* articles that are primarily based on public records obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, becoming the first publication to partner with @freedom.press to offer this for our new coverage.

Yeah eh?

Hope the healing goes well and more smiles lay ahead.

A little kayaking contrast from outside Yellowknife, 10C (afternoon) and clear (and glad to get out paddling).

I’m surprised there’s even a debate-cold of course.

Amazing berry picking season, the forest floor keeps giving.

This is the same company that owns the Yellowknifer, News/North and the Yukon News.

I wonder what Sig would say.

Yuck…

Seems a bit early for this.

…when I switched to Starlink a couple of years back, I kept Xplore-very$$ but I didn’t trust Starlink. Now Xplore just ditched everyone in my area leaving Starlink as the only option. STILL waiting for some Canadian company with LEO sats to sell internet direct to the consumer (ahem, Telsat??).

I’ll have to try it. Makes more sense than my usual strategy of buy it, put it in the fridge, wait several months and then make scientific observations of the various accumulated molds, throw it all out, repeat process.

It doesn’t go weirdly watery?

Overnight temperatures are getting close to 0°C. It was time to bring the tomatoes in to finish ripening on the laundry dryer😏

Amazing cranberries this year.

Do people use “Hok” Skiis there? New discovery for me (non skier) a few years back. Short, fat little skiis with edges. Perfect for deep snow-they act like super nimble snow shoes in deep snow on flat land, and go downhill fast.

Pensive? Or just in deep concentration?

The only good thing about forest fire smoke is it makes splendid sunsets.

In the NWT, during the pandemic, it was “Kami” (Dr Kami Kandola, our Chief Public Health Officer).

Can you expand on what this looks like?. I’m intrigued by the “sufficiency” idea, but it seems economic growth also lets us afford things like health care, seniors and child care, education…

thanks, I follow then from other sites but forget to do it on Bluesky. They’re an excellent media outlet.

Thank goodness CBC has people on Bluesky to help amplify CBC’s story that they would like help amplifying Indigenous climate stories.

And moon tonight.

Loon…🧵
