@ninawillner.bsky.social thank you for writing THE BOYS in the LIGHT. As a retired US History teacher, I wish I had this book. I laughed, I smiled, I cried. It proves Anne Frank was right. I now must read your other book. ❤️ & ☮️ to you and all your family.

Ms. Wilber, I am reading The Boys in the Light. Brilliantly written, brings out so many emotions: humor, sadness, pain, hope. Hitler’s comments remind us that the horrors of WWII may be replayed again unless we are purposeful and vigilant in preventing it.

Listening to The Boys in the Light while at work and fighting hard to stop my eye leaks. The fact that we have let the seeds of fascism sprout in this country makes me ashamed.

You know who really did show up? Canadian police officers, firefighters, and medical personnel came to NYC, on and off duty, traveling independently or in groups to stand with Americans and help shoulder the enormous burden of recovery and cleanup at Ground Zero. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

In Yup’ik, we have a word: “ikayuquluta.” It means working together and helping one another. I’ll work with anyone to get things done for Alaska. That’s ikayuquluta: knowing we have more in common than what divides us, and putting aside those differences to fight for our state.

Ikayuquluta

This is a Yup’ik principle, and it guides everything we do.

If you only read the books that everyone else is reading, you can only think what everyone else is thinking. - Haruki Murakami, Norwegian Wood

PHOTO by Quang Vuong. A narrow aisle stretches deep into a monochrome labyrinth of tall bookshelves, packed tightly with aged spines and endless stories. Overhead signs mark categories—Poetry, U.S. History, Literary Bios—dangling above the quiet corridor. A lone step ladder waits mid-path, inviting the seeker upward. Fluorescent lights cast a sterile glow, yet the space feels timeless, suspended between thought and memory. The silence is thick, broken only by the imagined rustle of turning pages.

It’s hard to overstate how immoral and wrong it is that Trump is likely sending American soldiers into harm’s way for no good reason. Every American who voted for this man to lead America have aided and abetted this tragic mistake.

On this day in 1852 Harriet Beecher Stowe's anti-slavery novel "Uncle Tom's Cabin" was published in Boston... Stowe's writing exposed the brutality of humans owning other humans to the nation...not as a benign practice, but as an evil that included even euthanization...
