(I am not as strong as I was,... True. I am "stronger" now than I was, too; I am tired, we are not well nourished, we have put everything to keeping what's been earned, & we've doing maybe "impossibly well at it", too; we've missed care, chances to have things be better,... Where have people been?!)

(I have needed "real people";
I have & do invite self to "bring it" respectively, too.
("Please!?!")
I have not just given-up - & why not? Well, have you noticed, "What's happening?"
I've been needing, asking, inviting, been working to "bring more than it would take",... & been still "too many '🦗'")

Those compromises made, all that 'playing it safe', it has "helped"?

What's our ability to be reflexive, "Alaska", eh?
Who is the "we", when referring to "our", much less, "ability", eh?
I mean "for reals"?
Where are those able, who are those willing to face what are the, "our Knowns"?

(It's criticism some yet may not want to face, but there continues to be too much of the same behavior happening & I'm not so certain it leads to "best outcomes",...Eh?
Do "Progressives" want to, do many maybe need to be "so Progressive", they forget to "walk their own talk", & in own communities?!)

What do you expect?
What do we expect? What have we been expecting, eh?

Eh?

U.S. Coast Guard adds icebreaker to fleet for first time in 25 years Federal officials see the refurbished ship Storis as the first of many new additions and a statement of sovereignty in the Arctic under the Trump administration.

The U.S. Coast Guard commissioned its first additional polar icebreaker in 25 years in Juneau on Sunday, marking what officials called a new era in Arctic activity for the United States. (via @alaskabeacon.com) www.adn.com/alaska-news/...

Anchorage was actually still pretty tiny at the time. It had only been established in 1914 as a work camp for the railroad and wasn’t incorporated until 1920. So it wasn’t considered a major settlement during Harding’s visit.

“He allotted only two hours for Anchorage, which reflected the town’s limited importance.” 🤣

The history of presidential visits to Alaska, starting with Warren G. Harding’s ill-fated ‘Voyage of Understanding’ Histories of Anchorage (first of two parts): In summer 1923, Warren G. Harding departed on an expansive tour that included the first trips to Alaska and Canada by a sitting president.

1/? Oh, tons. This article of mine has the details on the Alaska part of the trip, including Anchorage. www.adn.com/alaska-life/...

The Ends as Methodology: Write Yourself In On Reparations, Memory and Making Our Own Worlds

Too often, projects aimed at “supporting” marginalised communities begin with a deficit model: identify what’s missing, import external expertise and measure “impact” through state-approved metrics. Reparative work requires a different methodology amahraspence.substack.com/p/the-ends-a...

"Instead of building fixed solutions, we need to become architects of adaptive systems. Instead of designing for the average user, we need to create frameworks that can be adapted into interfaces that meet a person's unique circumstances"

I dunno, but if you're arresting hundreds of people for peaceful, quiet, civil disobedience and calling them terrorists, but egging on people who actively seek to harm others and last year left several towns and cities damaged and afraid, maybe you're, like, totally wrong about everything?

60 Words How one sentence -- just 60 words written in the hours after the September 11 attacks -- became the legal foundation for the "war on terror."
