Winter finally arrived. Erik is sure by rolling in the snow, he will be *Extra Erik* #dogs #bordercollies #DogsofBluesky #Dogsky

Two black and white border collie dogs are wearing bright orange vests. They are on a snow covered road. There is a hillside of shrubs to the right of them. One dog is standing. The other dog is on his back rolling in the snow.

Bluesky is that special place where someone will take time out from serialposting about how ICE can never defeat one mid sized midwesern city to post about how ICE is going to commandeer every voting booth in the US and all is lost

Our founders, though deeply flawed, understood that democracy requires an informed citizenry and a government accountable to it people. That’s why the press is the only profession protected by the Constitution. It’s also why autocrats and oligarchs seek to control and destroy it.

Walking the dogs this afternoon and its 55° out in the Winter that Wasn't. ( Very reminiscent of the winter of 1976-77)

A woman is smiling and just her face is visible in the lower left hand of the photo. On the right hand side is a dirt road with sage brush hills in the background. Two black and white border collie dogs are wearing bright orange vests and sitting on the dirt road

Sometimes you have to say it out loud to appreciate how dire t all is: The president just openly declared his plans to steal the midterm elections — in an interview with the former number two person at the FBI.

Posting this photo to document the oddest and warmest winter I’ve ever seen here. Today, we are out walking on the Croy Creek road — miles past the Rock Creek turn off. It should be covered with snow in January. Skiing has been excellent on upper half of Baldy, so we’re rolling with it. #dogs.

On a downtown street in Minneapolis, as people stream out from the massive march, Mary Tyler Moore says “fuck ice.”

A picture of the Mary Tyler Moore statue in downtown Minneapolis, depicting the iconic moment from the show where she throws her hat in the air. But the hat has been covered over with a protesters cardboard sign, reading “FUCK ICE.”

So-called federal agents standing in the street enforcing local ordinances about pedestrian in the roadway etc is a clue they want this violence. They are creating it. They are killing people to feed their angry supporters & outrage everyone else. That’s it. That’s their point

First day of skiing in the books. I think this is the start of my 62nd year of skiing. Ski resorts out West are hurting for snow and Sun Valley is no different. The only reason we are skiing is because of the man-made snow. #skiing

A woman wearing a ski helmet is smiling. She is standing on a ski run with mountains in the background. Sun Valley, Idaho. December 2025

This is a ski run called "College" at the ski resort Sun Valley, Idaho in the foreground. You can also see an orange boundary line rope and snow making guns. In the background are high snow covered peaks. You can just barely see the small town of Ketchum.

A view of ski runs at Sun Valley, Idaho . There is not much snow on the ski runs and small shrubs and trees are sticking up.

Three best friends that understood the assignment. Pose on a rock. Bonus points for lining themselves up nicely. Treats all around. #Idaho #BorderCollies #dogs

Three black and white dogs are sitting on a rock in a meadow with dead grass. The hillside in the background has trees who have lost their leaves for the winter.

The real question is not "Why is Bluesky so left-coded," the real question is "Why can't the right exist in a social media environment without algorithmic assistance, where people can ignore them"

With no snow on the ground yet, we are still training agility outside. Erik is loving it. Ears up and afterburners on as he soars down the dogwalk! #dogs #agility #bordercollies

A black and white border collie mix dog is running across an agility dog walk. There is a brown hillside in the background and some aspen trees with no leaves.

Five corporations control 90% of the US media market. Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today. Four giants control 80% of meat processing. A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry. The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere.

I mean, look, I'm not a reporter, so who am I to talk? But on a day where the president both just called a woman reporter "Piggy" and is celebrating someone who had people bone saw apart one of my colleagues, I might just be a little ready to defend my colleagues and profession. But that's just me

Oh, I don’t know. Our rivers no longer catch on fire and our air is far less poisonous than it used to be, even in smog bowls like Los Angeles. And I think those are good things.

Out walking and we met a very handsome local fellow (a bull elk at a distance). We turned around and walked the opposite way. #Idaho #dogs

A bull elk is in the center of the frame, with a red circle around him. There are river rocks in the foreground and cottonwood trees with no leaves in the background. It is November.

It is November There are two black and white border collie dogs wearing bright orange vests. They are looking at the camera. There is a river behind them and cottonwood trees beyond the river.

Grateful to spend two days on the Klamath watching chinook, liberated by dam removal, return to streams from which they’d been precluded since the Titanic sank. Fish are everywhere, in numbers that stagger the mind & locations that biologists figured would take years to repopulate. Too beautiful.

“Once I spoke the language of the flowers…” —Shel Silverstein #poetry #poem #poems

Forgotten Language

Once I spoke the language of flowers,
Once I understood each word the caterpillar said,
Once I smiled in secret at the gossip of the starlings,
And shared a conversation with the housefly in my bed.
Once I heard and answered all the questions of the crickets,
And joining the crying of each falling dying flake of snow,
Once I spoke the language of flowers . . .
How did it go?
How did it go?

While we spectate on The East Wing being torn down, it isn’t just another hallway, it’s where Eleanor Roosevelt built the modern Office of the First Lady, where WWII bunkers were hidden, and where the public enters the People’s House. Erasing it is rewriting history.
