#AmazingWorld
In #Alaska, nature sculpted this lone tree into a frozen wave at sunrise.
Relentless wind, drifting snow, and rime ice stacked layer by layer until the branches looked like feathers made of frost.
That soft golden glow is the sun catching every icy strand, turning the whole scene into a winter sculpture for a few brief moments.
Bent by the storm, but still standing. Still reaching.
Happy Winter Solstice from Fairbanks, Alaska.
This was the view from my front porch this morning at 11 a.m., right at sunrise (it's -40° outside).

The light in Fairbanks around the winter solstice.
It’s cold, dark, and some days it’s hard to get moving at all. Some winters are harder than others, and I don’t always know why. What I do know is that getting outside helps.
Even on the shortest days, there’s a brief stretch of low sun, long shadows, and quiet color. It’s subtle, short-lived, and always worth stepping out for.

A oggi i contenuti dei cosiddetti "accordi di #Anchorage" non sono ufficialmente noti. Da parte americana non è neanche mai stato fatto riferimento ad alcun "accordo", piuttosto un "incontro" a cui a volte ci si riferisce con "risultati".
Lavrov dice che la famosa proposta di #pace in 28 punti, in stile #Gaza, era frutto degli accordi presi in #Alaska.
#Putin, mentre affila gli arsenali, ricorda che per loro valgono gli "accordi di Anchorage" di cui si ha una sola conferenza stampa che, citando la RAI, fu una sequenza di "dichiarazioni che non entrano nei contenuti dell'accordo".
Accordo che non è mai stato reso pubblico, non sottoscritto dai presidenti nelle loro funzioni pubbliche, figuriamoci se ratificato da qualche parlamento o presentato all'ONU... solo qualche voce di corridoio.

Miss Wiggles (Velma Adkerson 1922-2012). One of world's most highly paid exotic dancers during the 50s/60s, she was a contortionist who stripped while on her head. Moved to Anchorage in late 60s & kept performing, could do splits into her 80s. Buried at downtown cemetery #alaska

If Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. wants more industries to support his plan to eliminate the sugar substitute, people must first understand the schemes that led to this sticky situation. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2025/12/11/world/americas-corn-syrup-addiction/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #worldnews #richardnixon #robertfkennedyjr #geraldford #jimmycarter #yoshiyukitakasaki #archerdanielsmidlands #jmsmucker #cocacola #cornysyrup #sugar #sovietunion
