@righttorepair @pluralistic In Alaska, people living away from our 3 big cities learn to repair broken devices as best they can, often there is no repair business in a town or village Even in the city areas, businesses that seek to make repairs are stymied by lockouts, withheld information and anti-modification laws. Here are 3 examples from a repair business near Anchorage, AK.

Bright moonlight changes how you photograph the aurora.

With a snow-covered foreground, exposure becomes a balancing act. Too long and the snow blows out. Too short and the auroral structure is lost.

Michio Hoshino slipped his finger into a bear’s mouth — and found fragility, not fear. Now, his Alaska essays arrive in English in "The Traveling Tree." https://www.japantimes.co.jp/culture/2026/02/24/books/traveling-tree-michio-hoshino/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #culture #books #bears #alaska #michiohoshino #photography #us #animals #environment

Winter sunrise in the boreal forest often lasts longer than people expect.

The sun stays low, scattering orange and red light through the atmosphere while the snow reflects cool blue shadow.

5 of the 22 species of #bumblebee found in #Alaska are tundra habitat specialists. These hardy #bees have thrived in territories that are harsh even by Alaskan standards but now may face problems due to climate breakdown.

#Alaska has a relatively low diversity of #bees but quite a high proportion of #bumblebees which are suited more to cooler than warmer climes and in Alaska may not face many of the pressures they do elsewhere.🐝🌍

Circa 1969-1977 KFAR-TV (now KATN) footage of curling matches at the Fairbanks Curling Club building, an amazing display of sweaters. Though the moment seems to have passed, I wish I had written on Alaska curling history last week. #alaskahistory #alaska

Yesterday was a rare, windless winter day. Low sun and long shadows along Miller Creek in the Alaska Range.
