Just when you thought they couldn't cause more trouble than they already are: An underwater AI #DataCenter could be coming to Cook Inlet, Alaska. A preliminary permit application for the data center is being considered by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. Take action bit.ly/3UFCKfT
Two beluga whales break the surface of calm, dark water. One is larger and appears white, the other is smaller and appears gray. Text over the image reads "Don't let Cook Inlet belugas become the latest casualty of the data center boom.

Do at least what you need to do to be able to sleep with yourself at night - whether or not you believe doing it will make a difference.

Before it became our home, it was already theirs. What changes when we start with that as the starting point? #biodiversity #conservation #home #designbuild

Afternoon's view. Childhood's wind chime in the apple tree. Songbirds chatting with their neighbors, making moss nests in the beloved and still-standing deadwood. Breeze on my neck wakes up anything still in slumber. I'm calling it a good #Springtime #Sunday. #pnwhomestead #nowheretobe #grounded

Fighting habitat loss is: opening to what I cant unsee, to know the broken before offering whats better placing rocks in a bird bath, imagining myself small enough to use them saying no to what I want, so wildlife can keep what they need knowing we arent 'we' w/o them, standing by that when its hard

Freezing rain by you? Check your #hummingbird feeder's holes so they can actually get to their sugar water. I popped ice out of them with a knife tip. We're #offgrid here so this stuff really matters! And of course if the food is frozen, make another batch with a higher sugar ratio - that helps too.

Been thinking about how much power lives in questions we're afraid to ask. "Who needs it more?" is the start of everything. Just asking creates impact. Ex: pandas need bamboo #forests - we just *want* that bamboo container on the shelf. Keep questioning choices. Hear the #wild in your answers.

Thought of the week: We talk about 'sustainable materials' like that's the bar. But a green-certified home built on cleared land isn't green for the species that lived there. The most sustainable building choice is usually the one that leaves a forest standing in the first place. #forthevoiceless

Easy to turn inward when life gets busy. But #wildlife needs us most when we feel we have the least to give. Life won't calm down enough for #conservation to fit in so we build it into the rhythm. Not what we do when all is done, but woven into daily choices. Wildlife can't wait; neither should we.

There's a barely there breeze I feel this evening if I'm still & it's just barely cooler than the still air. The sun is shining, warm. It is the first touch of #Autumn. This moment between a prime season & an always seemingly shorter & transitionary one is ever so precious to me today. #reflections

I think my favorite thing in the world may just be sitting outside my cabin to watch the leaves in a breeze and listen to songbirds; simple moments in between sessions of blackberry picking for the chickens at my feet. Is there a job for that? #homestead #hsp #introvert #wildlifewarrior

"The rain tapped on the metal flue through the roof, with an empty wood stove itching to crackle. Even the wind chimes joined in, hanging from branches across the yard, triangulated as if to keep wizards away." Adding my #creativewriting on the #blog under the new #fieldnotes tag; feels freeing.

No mow May has been well extended over here. 💚 seeing the variety of native plants, the colors & what they each do throughout the #season. Hybrid the hen thinks it's cool too. (Don't worry, she & her friends have paths & natural clearings. She just likes adventure outings into the huge #meadow!)

I don't know what I'd do if I wasn't surrounded by nature all the time. I'd certainly be a lot less curious, inspired, grateful and grounded. ...And don't even get me started about the smell of the forest after it rains. #nature #aftertherain #pnw #naturalhabitat

Can you imagine what it first felt like to be here listening to this? Late @ night, here in a makeshift cabin, in the middle of nowhere? 😳 Can you guess who is talking out there? Hint: nowadays it's completely normal, often but at least not scary. Ohh this life.. 🤭 #whatisthat #cabininthewoods

What No One Tells You About the Wildlife Your Home Will Displace

If you work for wildlife, your home shouldn’t cost what you defend. Habitat loss doesn’t stop at the job, it shows up in what we build. Most homes undo the very work we fight for. We need spaces that protect what we protect. Remember all we can do right from home! #habitatishome #wildlifedefenders

Your land had a language before you. Scored into root systems, shaped by claws, held in wingbeats, seasonal return, burrow & branch. When you build, will it still speak? Or will you silence it? Do this differently. Let your home protect this wild language. #landowner #newbuild #homeconstruction
