New header photo: it’s been an honor to spend a lot of energy in recent weeks organizing to protect our local national park-centered community, including those who have been illegally fired, those facing personal or institutional attacks from the m*sk regime, and the subarctic ecosystem we all love.
This is me speaking to a gathering of 80-90 people at the #Denali park entrance last weekend.
It’s been a time. 
The view this morning from the top of the driveway. The Alaska Range filling the horizon. Foraker, Hunter & Denali. #Alaska #Anchorage #Denali #Mountains #MyAlaskaWx
This morning's weather report. Yep, it's still Denali, and always will be. #Alaska #Anchorage #BearValley #Denali #ViewFromTheDeck #MyAlaskaWx
DENALI!!! Always and forever!
Chris Noel is the mayor of Denali Borough and lives in the forested neighborhood of McKinley Village, which sometimes shows up as Denali Park on online maps. He’s very accustomed to the dual identity that has long swirled around this region, the vast national park that defines it and the 20,310-foot crown jewel at its center.
But in this snow-shrouded land where the sun appears for only a few hours daily in winter, he and others say there is no disputing that the name of that mountain — North America’s tallest — is the Indigenous word Denali.

This is one of my favorite late-winter/early-spring hikes in the Alaska Interior. The high ridgeline offers an incredible view of Denali, towering 70 miles away. Thanks to the strong valley winds, much of the trail often stays snow-free even in winter.

As Trump Targets AP, Media Urged to Resist Moves Like 'Gulf of America' Renaming: "It's at times like these that journalists need to put down their pens and advocate for accountable leadership," asserted one campaigner. (Common Dreams, 2025-02-14)

"AP ... has explained that, because the gulf is an international body of water, it will continue to call it the Gulf of Mexico because Mexico ... and other countries do not recognize the new name.
"In contrast, the AP said it will call Denali, the highest peak in North America, Mt. McKinley following a name change by Trump because the Alaska mountain is located entirely inside the United States."

#Republican senator #LisaMurkowski is proposing legislation in direct defiance of President Donald #Trump.
Trump announced in his inaugural speech that he would seek to rename #Alaska's #Denali as part of his day-one actions, a move that would override the will of the state's #Indigenous population and its elected leaders.

Denali.
It's not anything else.
"The name Denali means ‘The High One’ in Koyukon Athabaskan, a name used by Indigenous Alaskans for centuries."

Done and done.

Bonus pts: do it for #Denali/#MtMcKinley too!
now BTW, I've had it with Google. Have been using Mozilla Firefox since it was born but have diverted to Chrome on occasion... no more.
Have used DuckDuckGo in the past--am back to it now on a permanent basis.
Moving from gmail to Proton tonight. That comes with a Calendar (goodbye, Google!) and I also have one in Evernote that I might try.
What else? What are you de-Googling this week?

Wow. I hoped #GoogleMaps wouldn't change the name of #GulfofMexico, but #MtMcKinley is just pandering.
The people of #Alaska don't want the change. They changed it to #Denali 40 years ago.
#AppleMaps has the chance to not pander to #Trump. My hopes aren't high.

The moon setting early this morning, then later right behind the summit of Denali as the day got brighter. #Alaska #Anchorage #BearValley #moon #moonset #Denali
