Someone from UAF sent me their berry picking spot on a map 🥲 real community
Today’s news: it rained (🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼), my new husky friend Pepper chased a black fox into the trees (and came back right away with no visible blood 🥲) and I encountered my first real life tree house. Yay for rain 🤠

I moved to Fairbanks this week and it’s so good to be back with Fairbanks fam and UAF community again 🥰 missed you guys
Nalukataq update from Nattles (my niece):
And I’m in anchorage 😩
I thought the world was ending til they got to the end and said fires

Fairbanks + Utqiaġvik + Dillingham springtime views from the plane. Slightly moody
