Today I introduced Oakley to Creamer’s Field 😊 He was a very good boy.

GREEN … the difference 2 weeks makes. 😊

I really needed to hear this “Best People” hopeful episode. Ken Burns and Nicolle Wallace interview, well worth a listen. youtu.be/mXj07imTjsE

@idaholark.bsky.social My to-do list, a blast from the past … made me think of you and those happy days at ABO 😊

THANK YOU David Letterman & Stephen Colbert for a lifetime of smart satire, laughs, speaking truth to power & sending us to bed with a smile on our collective faces. You will be missed. 🙏 #EndOfAnEra

Here are the Top 5 Dogs of the week!

Life! And the last of the snowpack …

Mamdani has demonstrated something that Democrats have largely forgotten. You can't just do good things for voters and expect to be rewarded for it. You have to tell them about it, over and over again. You have to advertise your work in office just as much as you did on the campaign to win it.

Tripod tipped and floated downriver at Bethel: break-up on the Kuskokwim River at Bethel clocks in at 800am AKDT May 12, 2026, a few days later than typical compared to the past 50 years. #akwx #Spring2026 @markspringer.bsky.social @climatologist49.bsky.social

Last fall, just before the snows, I lost one of my work gloves outside.The snow is gone and what was lost is now found, but I noticed an interesting pattern of nibbling … Some little squirrel’s idea of a joke?

What’s taking you so long?!? Let’s get going!

New summer outlook just dropped. This is the multi-model C3S ensemble forecast for June-August. Hope you like pain and suffering.

🚨 Heavy Freezing Spray Warning issued May 11 at 3:45AM AKDT until May 12 at 5:00AM AKDT by NWS Fairbanks AK 🚨 Additional Details Here.(2/2)

Happy Mother's Day to the mother of us all. (And who deserves to be treated better.)

It’s always a good day when it’s #Caturday! The other six aren’t too shabby either. @annie1x.bsky.social @runnergal.bsky.social @deephi11.bsky.social

Introduced Oak to Obe’s fave walking site … a lovely path along the ag fields at UAF. While we were there an Alaska Railroad train was rolling into Fairbanks with various supplies.

When I was a kid I was SO SCARED of accidentally wandering onto quicksand 😱 This was a flashback moment.

Oak thinks he’s a cat. 😊

Another IYKYK for #AlaskaSky, especially #Fairbanks...

Oakley, don’t look now but you’ve got a naughty gnome spying on you.

Happy May Day from Oak and Ola. Also known as Oakley and Viola ☺️

Fairbanks 60-month (five year) running total precipitation (rain plus the water equivalent of snow) over the past 90 years. It’s as if something changed about 2015. #akwx #Climate #Precipitation #ClimateChange

Following months of activism, 1,500 beagles are being released from the Ridglan Farms testing facility to animal rescue groups: the Beagle Freedom Project and Big Dog Ranch Rescue. To all the dogs being released, we wish you many years in loving homes. 14/10 for all

@deephi11.bsky.social @annie1x.bsky.social @cameratrapsue.bsky.social @harryfoster.bsky.social And humans think they’re so smart 🤔.

Real heroes, a family rescued a swan stuck in a tree and what followed was incredible 🦢❤️

The view from work this morning. #Alaska #Alaskasky #Fairbankssky

theirs was a love that could never be

I don't think I'll ever get tired of this view, Isle of Skye

Coming up at 11am AKDT today (Thursday), ACCAP's annual Green-up webinar. Birch and aspen leaves a'popin is important seasonal milestone in the Boreal North. We'll discuss why this matters and how we can forecast when this will happen each spring. #akwx #AlaskaSky uaf-accap.org/event/green-...

Lindsay Graham calls Trump and is very excited. Sen Roger Marshall says Trump has a serious "Truman like" decision to make. Sec of Navy resigns immediately. Reports of 100 National Security agents fired... Something bad is coming.

Oak is definitely starting to feel comfortable in his new home.

As f'kin if. Virginia, respond accordingly. I know you will.

This girl teaching her new puppy how to go down stairs . 😍

Looking forward to stopping by @colbertlateshow.bsky.social one last time. Tune in tonight!

I thought this felt relatable

Look at this chart. Tax cuts for the rich are a policy choice. Cutting the social safety net in exchange for them is a policy choice. States like New York have an opportunity to help undo this trickle down nonsense by raising taxes on the rich (who will still be rich). I hope Gov. Hochul does.
