Hey @stephengrahamjones.com readers, in my email newsletter and substack tomorrow, I'm including a nearly 5k word interview/conversation that appeared in American Gothic Studies last year. You'll want to read it!

It is tempting, for sure! I think they should do more radio ads, so then I don't have to listen 😂🤣

Some political mailers (especially the glossy ones) have plastic coatings and toxic inks. So neither option is really all that great. I wish the campaigns would just stop!

Snow and ice from Talkeetna to Cantwell. Troopers are advising people not to drive unless necessary. That time of year.

Oh good another grant rejection. We have applied for 7 grants so far this year, with a bunch more we’ll be applying for this fall. We’ve been rejected by 6, and got runner up for 1 of them, resulting in $1000. Our annual operating budget is 250k. Oh wait that reminds me. Anybody need a tote bag??

The mushrooms are up here in Southeast Alaska. Going out and looking for them and taking pictures is sooo fun and a great way to get away from the news.

If your audience "has zero exposure to Alaska," then it is all that much more important to be accurate.

@jenniferschell16.bsky.socialOct 10, 2026, 5:23 PM

Yeah, I know, and I'm tired of people misrepresenting Alaska. It feels like it's been happening a lot lately, probably because we've been in the national political news. Everyone is an expert, but no one knows anything about life up here (or even the geography!).

@jenniferschell16.bsky.socialOct 10, 2026, 3:29 PM

Thank you!

Literally, my backyard. Trees.

White spruce tree, falling over, in a snowy forest of paper birch.
@jenniferschell16.bsky.socialOct 10, 2026, 2:52 PM

Okay, fine. But I'm pretty sure that 30+ foot white spruce and paper birch are by any definition trees...

@jenniferschell16.bsky.socialOct 10, 2026, 2:44 PM

I live in Fairbanks, and I DO NOT live on the tundra. I literally live in the woods, unless maybe I don't know what a tree looks like...

From NOAA/NCEI climate analysis, the first nine months of 2026 for Alaska overall have been the coolest since 2012, 0.4°F below the 20th century average. We'll take it. #akwx #Climate @climatologist49.bsky.social @themattphelps.bsky.social @leepetersen.bsky.social
