I initially found the idea of “decolonizing science” troubling. Does it mean treating personal revelation as equal to evidence? Does it require rejecting the scientific method because it developed largely within European institutions? Rather than argue against a caricature, I spoke with Innu astrophysicist Dr. Laurie Rousseau-Nepton. We discuss what decolonization actually means in science, how culture influences the questions researchers ask, and whether Indigenous oral traditions can preserve legitimate astronomical knowledge. We also explore dreams, scientific bias, the controversy surrounding telescopes on Maunakea, and the difference between scientifically explaining the universe and finding meaning within it. Can science include more perspectives without compromising evidence and rational inquiry?

Laurie Sumiye–the artist-filmmaker who directed the striking documentary “A Paradise Lost,” a live action/animation hybrid telling the story of the Palila, a small, yellow bird, found only on the Mauna Kea volcano in Hawaii, and for whom a landmark lawsuit was filed in 1978 to prevent its extinction—recalls growing up in Hawaii, more interested in […] The post Laurie Sumiye, director of “A Paradise Lost” first appeared on Talking Animals.

Neutron stars, the compact remains of a massive star following a supernova explosion, are the densest matter in the Universe. Some neutron stars, known as magnetars, also claim the record for the strongest magnetic fields of any object. How magnetars, which are a mere 15 kilometers across, form and produce such colossal magnetic fields remains a mystery.    New observations by a team of astronomers, including NSF's NOIRLab's Dr. André-Nicolas Chené, may shed important light on the origin of these magnetic powerhouses. Using various telescopes around the globe, including the Canada-France-Hawai'i Telescope (CFHT) on Maunakea, the researchers have identified a new type of astronomical object — a massive magnetic helium star (an unusual variant of a Wolf-Rayet star), which may be the precursor of a magnetar.  In this podcast, André-Nicolas Chené describes the process of finding the first known potential magnetar progenitor.   Bios:  - Rob Sparks is in the Communications, Education and Engagement group at NSF's NOIRLab in Tucson, Arizona. - Dr. André-Nicolas Chene is an associate astronomer at NOIRLab. He completed his PhD at the Université de Montréal in 2007 and learned everything about the fundamentals of astronomical observations at the Observatoire du Mont Mégantic. He was research fellow at the NRC Herzberg Astronomy and Astrophysics Research Centre and postdoc jointly at the Universidad de Concepción and the Universidad de Valparaíso before joining the Gemini Observatory (now a program of NOIRLab) in 2013. For almost 10 years, André-Nicolas took part in every phase of a Gemini observing program life cycle and has played a central role in Gemini's user support effort. André-Nicolas's research interests are massive stars, hot winds, star clusters, and stellar evolution.   Links:  NOIRLab Press Release: https://noirlab.edu/public/news/noirlab2323/ NOIRLab social media channels can be found at: https://www.facebook.com/NOIRLabAstro https://twitter.com/NOIRLabAstro https://www.instagram.com/noirlabastro/ https://www.youtube.com/noirlabastro   We've added a new way to donate to 365 Days of Astronomy to support editing, hosting, and production costs.  Just visit: https://www.patreon.com/365DaysOfAstronomy and donate as much as you can!

Most asteroids are located in the lonely space between Mars and Jupiter where the average distance between two asteroids is about 600,000 miles. Even though there is a tremendous space between asteroids they occasionally collide and pieces of them become Earth approaching objects. Most of them remain close to the plane of the solar system, however, a few are sent on paths which take them into the extremely lonely space high above and far below the orbits of the planets about the Sun. In 2017, my team, the Catalina Sky Survey, discovered 13 of these loneliest asteroids whose paths are tilted more than 45 degrees to the plane of the solar system. They have an average diameter about 4 times larger than that of the 987 asteroids we discovered in 2017. Even though 13 is a small sample it is interesting to speculate what this size difference could mean. In 2013, astronomers used the Subaru Telescope on Mauna Kea in Hawaii to discover that main belt asteroids with orbits which are highly inclined to the plane of the solar system tend to be larger and made of stronger materials than those asteroids which reside in the plane of the solar system. They attribute these differences to the collisions which must have occurred to send asteroids into highly inclined orbits about the Sun. If this result applies to the lonely near Earth asteroids we discovered then perhaps they are made of very strong materials and could be of particular interest to asteroid miners.

Authorities give an update on the search for a father and son who went missing near an East Oahu coastline. Another potential site on Mauna Kea is being considered for the Thirty Meter Telescope, as opponents of the project take their fight to California. And Gov. Josh Green signs the state's $21 billion dollar budget and announces which bills he's considering for veto. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Dr. Al Grauer hosts. Dr. Albert D. Grauer ( @Nmcanopus ) is an observational asteroid hunting astronomer. Dr. Grauer retired from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock in 2006. travelersinthenight.org From March 2026. Today's 2 topics: - In 1892 the world's largest telescope, the Lick Observatory's 36 inch refracting telescope made the news when E.E. Barnard discovered, Amalthea, the 5th moon of Jupiter. In 2025 this historic telescope made the news again when on Christmas morning winds of 114 mph blew off a 3 ton piece of the shutter on its dome. The adaptive optics research pioneered at Lick Observatory helped in the creation of the twin giant 10 meter telescopes that sit atop Mauna Kea in Hawaii.   - Astronomers using the 8.1 m Gemini South Telescope in Chile were excited by the fact that 467P (LINEAR-Grauer)'s Centaur like orbit had been changed as the nucleus emitted rocket like bursts of gases as it was warmed by the Sun. Inert inactive asteroids orbit the Sun following the law of gravity whereas active asteroids can emit little rocket like bursts of gas which can change their path about the Sun in interesting ways. It is important to study objects like 467P (LINEAR-Grauer) to make sure their path about the Sun doesn't change to make them a threat to our home planet.   We've added a new way to donate to 365 Days of Astronomy to support editing, hosting, and production costs.  Just visit: https://www.patreon.com/365DaysOfAstronomy and donate as much as you can!

This week on the show Kathryn welcomes back professional cyclist and coach Hannah Otto. Last fall after finishing in a tie for 7th p[lace overall in the Life Time Grand Prix, Hannah went to the Big Island of Hawai'i to attempt a Fastest Known Time (FKT) on the Mauna Kea climb. This was not Hannah's first time attempting an FKT, and she talks about what drives her to take on these epic endurance events as well as what she loves most about racing no one but herself. While riding 55 miles straight up hill wouldn't necessarily be everyone's idea of fun, Hannah details how she finds joy in these attempts, and how she adapts when things start to get difficult. Hannah is competing in the Life Time Grand Prix again in 2026. She talks through a few of her best tips leading into the last few weeks before Unbound, and how to get the most out of your day there.Watch Hannah recap of her FKT attempt on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZZ7SrrqEUXM&t=316sFollow Hannah on Instagram @thehannahotto

Hannah Otto has been reeling off an impressive streak of mountain biking FKTs over the past few years, and now she's added a road bike one to the list: the 14,000' climb up Mauna Kea, Hawai'i. So we brought Hannah back on the show to tell the story behind the effort, discuss the differences in FKT culture across disciplines, and a whole lot more.Note: We Want to Hear From You!Please share with us the questions, topics, or stories you'd like us to cover on Bikes & Big Ideas.

El 1 de julio de 2025, el telescopio de sondeo del Sistema ATLAS en Chile descubrió el tercer objeto interestelar conocido: el cometa 3I/ATLAS. Con un brillo extremadamente tenue, en una magnitud aparente de 18, el objeto recién descubierto estaba entrando en el sistema solar interior a una velocidad de 61 km/s (220.000 km/h) con respecto al Sol, situado a una distancia de la Tierra de 3,52 UA (527 millones de kilómetros). Para septiembre de 2025 había aumentado hasta la magnitud 14-15. A medida que 3I/ATLAS se acercó al Sol a finales de octubre, sorprendió a los astrónomos al brillar mucho más rápido de lo esperado: de repente pasó a ser visible para observatorios espaciales con magnitud 9-10. Las observaciones iniciales no dejaron claro si se trataba de un asteroide o de un cometa. Las observaciones realizadas el 2 de julio de 2025 por el Deep Random Survey en Chile, el Lowell Discovery Telescope en Arizona y el Observatorio CFHT (Canadá, Francia, Hawai) en Mauna Kea mostraron una coma marginal y una cola corta de tres segundos de arco de longitud angular, lo que indica que el objeto es un cometa. El 2 de julio de 2025, el MPC (Centro de Planetas Menores, organismo del Observatorio Astrofísico Smithsoniano, que forma parte del Centro de astrofísica Harvard-Smithsonian junto con el Observatorio Harvard College) anunció el descubrimiento del cometa y le otorgó la designación de objeto interestelar «3I», lo que significa que era el tercer objeto interestelar confirmado. El MPC también le dio la designación de cometa no periódico C/2025 N1 (ATLAS).​ Cuando se anunció el proyecto 3I/ATLAS, el Centro de Planetas Menores había recopilado 122 observaciones del cometa desde 31 observatorios diferentes. La controversia ha estado presente en el descubrimiento de este objeto interestelar desde el inicio. El 16 de julio de 2025, el equipo del astrofísico Avi Loeb de la Universidad de Harvard publicó un artículo en arXiv especulando que 3I/ATLAS podría ser una nave espacial extraterrestre​ dadas algunas características «anómalas»,​ como su brillo inusual, no muestra aceleración no gravitacional, la falta de compuestos químicos identificables, su trayectoria precisa a través del Sistema Solar y la ausencia de desgasificación cometaria evidente en sus inicios, argumentando que no se comporta como un cometa. Loeb también ha observado que los chorros del cometa podrían estar disparándose en pulsos, creando un patrón repetitivo a modo de "latido". Cada estallido de gas y polvo hace que la coma se intensifique, se desvanezca y vuelva a intensificarse. Esto aún podría ser un proceso natural —por ejemplo, una zona muy volátil de la superficie que libera gas una vez por cada rotación—. Pero Loeb señala que, si los chorros no apuntan siempre hacia el Sol o si su sincronización resulta demasiado precisa el comportamiento empieza a parecer menos "propio de un cometa" y más... antinatural. En este caso, afirma, podríamos estar viendo indicios de un mecanismo artificial con un sistema de expulsión controlado. Otros astrónomos criticaron inmediatamente la especulación de Loeb.​ Darryl Seligman, que dirigió el primer estudio publicado sobre 3I/ATLAS, afirmó que «se han realizado numerosas observaciones telescópicas que demuestran que muestra señales clásicas de actividad cometaria». Además explicó que las sustancias químicas en el cometa podrían no ser detectables aún, dado que el objeto todavía se encontraba lejos del Sol.​ Desde entonces las observaciones han evidenciado indicios de un cometa clásico: presenta un pequeño núcleo helado, una coma rica en dióxido de carbono, ráfagas de vapor de agua e incluso una rara anticola causada por la geometría de la observación. El 29 de septiembre el cometa sobrevive ileso a una tormenta solar, a diferencia de muchos cometas del Sistema Solar. El 30 de septiembre 3I/ATLAS pasa detrás del Sol, desapareciendo de la vista hasta finales de noviembre. El 29 de octubre 3I/ATLAS sobrevive a su paso cercano al Sol, aumentando de brillo de forma repentina. El 2 de noviembre vuelve a ser visible tras perderse en el resplandor del Sol. El 4 de noviembre parece estar cambiando de color, adquiriendo un tono azulado. El 10 de noviembre el radiotelescopio MeerKAT en Sudáfrica detectó una señal de radio procedente de 3I/ATLAS —una emisión de fondo constante típica del gas y el polvo en el espacio, no una señal modulada que transporte información. Emisiones similares se registraron por primera vez en cometas en la década de 1970. El descubrimiento del cometa 3I/ATLAS es importante porque es un auténtico objeto interestelar, lo que significa que no se formó en nuestro Sistema Solar, sino que proviene de otro sistema estelar. Estos objetos son increíblemente raros, por lo que descubrir uno genera un gran revuelo. Además, las primeras estimaciones indican que su núcleo podría alcanzar los 5 kilómetros de diámetro, lo que lo convierte en uno de los cuerpos interestelares más grandes jamás detectados. Tras su máximo acercamiento al Sol a finales de octubre de 2025, 3I/ATLAS ha comenzado su viaje de regreso al espacio interestelar. Viajando alrededor de 30 kms/s en una trayectoria claramente hiperbólica, se mueve lo bastante rápido como para escapar por completo a la gravedad del Sol. El cometa ha alcanzado el perigeo (máximo acercamiento a la Tierra) el 19 de diciembre de 2025 y cruzará más allá de la órbita de Júpiter para el 16 de marzo de 2026. A comienzos de la década de 2030 habrá abandonado la región planetaria del Sistema Solar, continuando su silencioso viaje por la galaxia, tal como una vez llegó.

Hawaiian Concert Guide – Episode 692 Release Date: October 17, 2025 Host: Piko Title: Whale Hoohoo Episode Summary In this episode of the Hawaiian Concert Guide, Piko takes listeners on a musical journey through contemporary Hawaiian mele, slack-key gems, and lush Exotica instrumentals. From heartfelt vocal collaborations to instrumental storytelling and a powerful closing chorus of “Hawaiʻi Aloha,” Episode 692 celebrates how music keeps the spirit of the islands alive across oceans. Track List & Song Notes “Hoʻomālamalama” (feat. Stephen Inglis) – Kahiau Lam Ho – 4:10 Album: Hoʻomālamalama · Hawaiian The title Hoʻomālamalama can be translated as “to enlighten” or “to bring light.” In this track, Kahiau Lam Ho teams up with acclaimed musician Stephen Inglis to offer a song about healing, clarity, and renewal. Gentle, thoughtful vocals and a reflective arrangement give the piece a meditative quality, as if lifting the listener out of darkness and into understanding. “The One They Call Hawaiʻi” – Kahiau Lam Ho – 5:40 Album: Hoʻomālamalama · Hawaiian This song personifies Hawaiʻi as a beloved figure—someone the singer speaks of with reverence and affection. The lyrics and feel of the track evoke pride in the land and its people, touching on themes of identity, stewardship, and belonging. It plays like a love song to the islands themselves, inviting listeners to reflect on what “Hawaiʻi” means to them personally. “Kuʻu Pili Oha” – Kawika Kahiapo – 3:44 Album: Kuʻu Manaʻo · Hawaiian The phrase Kuʻu Pili Oha can be understood as “my cherished closeness” or “beloved companion.” Kawika Kahiapo, known for his soulful slack-key guitar and warm vocals, offers a gentle, intimate mele that feels like a conversation between close hearts. It's the kind of song that could be sung quietly on a porch at sunset, filled with gratitude for the relationships that sustain us. “One Heart One Voice” – Kawika Kahiapo – 4:13 Album: Kuʻu Manaʻo · Hawaiian “One Heart One Voice” leans into themes of unity and shared purpose. Kahiapo's songwriting often carries messages of peace and responsibility, and this track is a call for people to stand together with aloha. It's an uplifting reminder that when we speak and act as one, even big challenges feel more manageable. “ʻAnapau” – Jerome Koko & Daniel Ho – 2:39 Album: Makaha Sons Memoirs · Hawaiian From a project reflecting on the legacy of the Makaha Sons, “ʻAnapau” is a lively, joyful piece that carries the spirit of classic Hawaiian group vocals into a new setting. Jerome Koko's connection to the original Makaha Sons material, paired with Daniel Ho's arranging and production touch, makes this track feel both nostalgic and freshly polished. It's easy to picture friends singing along at a backyard gathering. “Poliahu” – Jerome Koko & Daniel Ho – 5:10 Album: Makaha Sons Memoirs · Hawaiian “Poliahu” is a tribute to the snow goddess of Mauna Kea. The song's mood leans more contemplative and reverent, fitting for a mele about a powerful and enigmatic figure in Hawaiian tradition. Listeners can feel the chill and majesty of the mountain in the way the melody unfolds—calm, spacious, and full of respect. “Manila” – The Waitiki 7 – 7:05 Album: Adventures in Paradise · Exotica The Waitiki 7 are known for reviving and expanding the classic Exotica sound, and “Manila” is a great example of their globe-trotting imagination. This instrumental piece conjures images of harbors, markets, and far-away ports of call. Rich textures and layered rhythms give it a cinematic feel that pairs perfectly with daydreams of travel. “Craving” – The Waitiki 7 – 5:07 Album: Adventures in Paradise · Exotica “Craving” leans into mood and atmosphere: it feels like a soundtrack for late-night conversations under tiki lights. The tune balances playful melodic lines with a slightly mysterious undercurrent, capturing that feeling of restless longing the title suggests. It's a reminder that Exotica can be both fun and emotionally evocative. “I Can See Arkansas” – Waipuna – 4:52 Album: Manaʻo Pili · Hawaiian Waipuna blend Hawaiian roots with storytelling influences that reach beyond the islands. “I Can See Arkansas” plays with the idea of geographical distance and emotional closeness—how memories and imagination can make a faraway place feel just within sight. It's a beautiful example of how Hawaiian artists connect local sensibilities with wider world experiences. “Owl's Lullaby” – Waipuna – 3:15 Album: Manaʻo Pili · Hawaiian As the title suggests, “Owl's Lullaby” has a gentle, comforting quality. In Hawaiian culture, the pueo (owl) can be a protector and guardian, and this song carries that sense of watchful care. It's the kind of mele you could easily imagine as a bedtime favorite, soothing the end of the day with calm and grace. Mahalo for Listening Mahalo nui for joining Piko on this musical journey!

Jean Charles Moyen claims to have visited multiple ancient space arks two of which hold relevance for him in a past life he describes in detail in his new feature length movie, Starseed Revelations 3, which is officially released today. His first experience inside a space ark occurred in 1976, at age 7, when he met a Japanese woman/guardian called Utsu after physically teleporting inside Mt Fuji where he saw an ancient space ark she was guarding. He recalls Utsu greeting him as “Hoshi”, which was the name of a past life he had in the Japanese city of Sendai around the year 1075.Jean Charles also says he met another Japanese woman, Kono the goddess of Mt Fuji before being teleported inside the volcano Mauna Kea on the Big Island of Hawaii where he was taken inside another space ark with Kono. He says that the two space arks in Japan and Hawaii are linked via portals and are places of great significance in his past lives in Japan and as an extraterrestrial, Luka, who was connected to them through his consciousness and frequency. In his documentary, Jean Charles presents historical and contemporary evidence supporting his teleportation and past life experiences.Jean Charles also discusses an aborted teleportation experience involving 3I/Atlas where he encountered Draco Reptilian energies, which corroborated the recent remote viewing of Sebastian Martin who describes up to 5 million Draco Reptilians sleeping in stasis chambers on 3I/Atlas. Dr. Michael Salla added John Vivanco to the list of remote viewers who claim to have seen Reptilians inside of 3I/Atlas. Given the disparity in explanations for what's inside of 3I/Atlas detailed in Dr. Salla's recent article on multiple perspectives, a number of explanations were explored by Jean Charles and Dr. Salla for what may be happening on the craft.Jean Charles Moyen's Starseed Revelations 3 is available online at:  https://vimeo.com/ondemand/starseedrevelation3Join Dr. Salla on Patreon for Early Releases, Webinar Perks and More.Visit https://Patreon.com/MichaelSalla/

Es oficial: España quiere que el Telescopio de Treinta Metros se instale en la isla de La Palma. Este artefacto será una máquina ciclópea que necesitará una cúpula de 60 metros de altura y otros 60 metros de ancho para funcionar. Sólo tres telescopios en el mundo tendrán un tamaño comparable, y si se logra construir con éxito será uno de los instrumentos que marcarán la astronomía del siglo XXI. Lamentablemente, siendo todo esto verdad, el TMT también es uno de los proyectos más problemáticos de lo que llevamos de siglo. Inicialmente pensado para ser construido en la cima del volcán Mauna Kea, en Hawái, las obras llevan detenidas desde 2015 por la oposición de indígenas hawaianos, grupos ecologistas y nacionalistas de las islas. A esto se ha sumado la llegada de la administración Trump, que pretende hacer severos recortes en su presupuesto de ciencia y anunció hace dos meses que renunciaba a financiar la construcción del Telescopio de Treinta Metros. Ante esta situación es perfectamente factible que el proyecto haya de abandonarse, y el Gobierno de España se ha manifestado públicamente para tratar de ocupar ese vacío. En el programa de hoy os contamos los detalles de esta rocambolesca historia y analizamos qué posibilidades tiene España de llevarse el gato al agua y que uno de los artefactos científicos más importantes del siglo termine en suelo español. Los veteranos de la sección recordaréis que es la *segunda* vez que damos esta noticia. La primera fue en el año 2016 cuando, tras un año con las obras paralizadas en Mauna Kea, se aceptó a La Palma como emplazamiento alternativo para el TMT. Por aquel entonces no estaba claro qué ocurriría, pero ahora, casi diez años después y tras la cancelación de la financiación estadounidense, La Palma podría tener muchas más opciones. Si queréis recordar cómo os lo contamos entonces, lo tenéis en el episodio s06e12. Este programa se emitió originalmente el 25 de julio de 2025.

Join us on Dark Outdoors® for an unforgettable conversation with Retired U.S. Army Sgt. Maj. Mike R. Vining—explosive ordnance disposal (EOD) pioneer and Delta Force operative—and his wife, acclaimed wildlife photographer and author Donna Ikenberry. Married atop Mauna Kea in 1999 after Mike's decorated 30‑year military career (including Vietnam, Eagle Claw, Desert Storm, and more) Donna has since published over a thousand images, guidebooks, and magazine articles from nearly every continent Donna Ikenberry Photography.  In this episode we explore: Top strategies for staying safe in remote terrains—from avalanche zones to wildlife territory. How Donna approaches storytelling through photography in unpredictable environments. Lessons Mike has learned from decades of military and outdoor leadership: situational awareness, risk assessment, and self-reliance. Tips for adventure couples: teamwork, planning, resilience—and capturing moments worth preserving. Tune in for a uniquely dynamic pairing: military precision meets nature's art—illuminated by humor, hard-earned wisdom, and couple‑led courage in the wild.    

In this multi-grantee episode, Hawaiʻi Rising speaks with three organizations uplifting their communities through filmmaking. First, we speak with Pua Case from Mauna Kea Education & Awareness and filmmaker Jalena Keane-Lee about their feature-length documentary Standing Above the Clouds, which premiered last year. Building on an earlier short film with the same name released in 2020, the feature-length documentary follows three families of Native Hawaiian mother-daughter activists standing to protect sacred Mauna Kea from the construction of the massive Thirty Meter Telescope. Next, we revisit our 2022 conversation with Vera Zambonelli, the founder of Hawaiʻi Women in Filmmaking. Hawaiʻi Women in Filmmaking is a longtime HPF grantee partner committed to advancing gender equity in filmmaking and advocating for women to tell their stories through film with an intersectional lens. HWF's Reel Camps are filmmaking camps for girls and femme-identifying youth. Finally, we turn to the important behind-the-scenes work of archiving film footage with the initiative Hoʻomau Nā Maka o ka ʻĀina. In this conversation recorded in 2023, we speak with Aunty Joan Lander of Nā Maka o ka ʻĀina and Emma Broderick from Puʻuhonua Society about this effort to catalog and archive over 6000 video tapes of footage shot by documentary organization Nā Maka o ka ʻĀina.

On Tuesday, May 6th, activists Pua Chase and Kapulie Flores held a discussion and participated in the screening of the documentary film “Standing Above the Clouds”, directed by Jalena Keane-Lee, at the Isla Vista Theater. The event, attended by students, educators, and community members, follows Native Hawaiian families and mother-and-daughter activists, including Chase and Flores, in their fight against the construction of the Thirty Meter Telescope on Mauna Kea, a sacred mountain in Hawaii. The UCSB Walter H. Capps Center for the Study of Ethics, Religion, and Public Life organized the event. Greg Johnson, the center's director, hosted it. KCSB's Mavis Holley has the story.

Talking in-depth with writer, linguist, and anon AMRX Mark II, a dissident voice from the Pacific on escaping the cults of ideology, the yearning for identity in a "no place" like Hawaii, and what it means to walk away from ideological affiliations. Political beliefs as personal alibi, the sickness of escapism, the craving for heroes, identity formation and linguistics, cultural alienation and mimicry. Objectivism and disillusionment, the false theatre of Hawaiian sovereignty movements, the psy-op of Mauna Kea, the flattening hybridization of Pidgin, and Hawaii as a laboratory of empire. We talk about Substack as a space for intellectual deprogramming/engineering, the ritual of purging belief systems, and the existential loneliness that drives the search for meaning. Code-switching, mirror languages, sovereignty as theatre, linguistic education, the bridging importance of Sanskrit, to finally becoming your own guru—no cope, no hero, no group—emphasizing self-improvement and personal responsibility.ExcerptsHawaiian Local Identity Here is where cultures seem to come to die. I see everyone around me losing their heritage. Like all the kids I grew up with they're all children of immigrants and they did not identify with their parents' languages or cultures at all. In many cases they couldn't speak their parents' language and they, were trying, they were like me.They were trying to find some alternative identity and so we were all alienated. And I think that's quite common here, but people just don't talk about it.On Hawaiian Pigeon Pidgin is a very complicated thing in Hawaii because people have this strange relationship with it. People use it as a marker of local identity, but it's also something that they're ashamed of…As a thought experiment for decades now, I've thinking about how pidgin can become like this new fusion identity in Hawaii. And one idea I had for a stack was writing about how the Hawaiian sovereignty movement here totally rejects pidginOn Mauna Kea as Psy-op I think purpose of the psy-op was to distract from the military operations going on near Mauna KeaOn The Role of Social Dynamics in Political AffiliationsOne of the major reasons I got sucked into all of this was just social, really. That's the sad thing. I am an extreme introvert, and I find it very difficult to talk to people. The thing about all these different cults is that if you believe that everyone, you deal with, is on the same page as you, then socialization becomes very easy. Affiliations as Surrogate Identity I've noticed that a lot of Objectivists are in the same, are in a similar position to me. There's like these Objectivists who come from non-white backgrounds and they want to be some sort of weird and some sort of new thing.Ayn Rand herself and her own inner circle, they were all Jewish, but they were, they wanted to be something other than Jewish. They were trying to run away from it. And I was like them. I see that in hindsight now. I didn't wanna be Japanese. I wanted to be like this weird like new, what I've called new objectivist man, that was, not Japanese, not Asian, not anything. So all these ident, all these cult identities were attempts to run away from who I was and I just regarded so as just so cringe now, not that I embrace who I am, I still have identity issues, but I don't think signing up for a group and is really the answer anymore. But it, it was just so easy.So I poured all my energy into learning Japanese and I went to university in Japan. And that was just a complete disaster. Because I realized I really did not fit in there. The language is not the problem. I could do the classes I could do the tests, I could write the papers.That was not the issue. I, it made me realize how superficial my idea of Japanese identity was just because I could speak, read and write Japanese didn't mean I really belonged there. And I realized, yeah, this is just not for me anymore. And then I started doubling down on the Objectivist stuff, because as I just mentioned, objectivism is like a, is like for non main, like people of color…like this weird surrogate identity.AMRX Mark II Get full access to Leafbox at leafbox.substack.com/subscribe

Native Hawaiian writer Norma Kawelokū Wong tells us our current reality is “drifting haphazardly in the riptide of collapse”. Wong is both a Zen Master and an experienced political strategist, having advised prominent figures including Hawaii's first Native Hawaiian Governor, John D. Waiheʻe III. She also offered guidance and mediation on some of Hawaii's most high profile and vexing conflicts, including the U.S. Navy's $344 million clean-up of munitions on Kahoʻolawe Island, telescope construction on Mauna Kea, and recovery following the devastating wildfire in Lahaina. In her new book, When No Thing Works, she weaves poetry, politics, and spiritual wisdom together into a lesson for navigating crises.

Jean Charles Moyen and Melanie Charest are extraterrestrial contactees who also served with a joint US-French secret space program based on a large mothership called the Solaris. In this Exopolitics Today interview, they describe their respective roles in rescuing children who were abducted and were being abused on other planets and moons in Deep Underground Military Bases (DUMBs) in our solar system. Moyen and Charest describe how they rescued Corina Pataki after she had spent five years, from age 2 – 7, in a secret DUMB on Mars. Significantly, Pataki recognized Moyen and Charest when they met in Orlando, Florida, at the 2023 Galactic Spiritual Informers Connection conference, and recalled the dramatic rescue and how she was returned to the Black Sea location in Romania, where she was originally abducted at age 2. Moyen next discusses an experience where he bilocated to a large cavern under the Nazca plains of Peru, where he discovered a large space ark at the bottom of a lake. Inside the ark, there was ancient technology and writing, which he did not recognize. In an attempt to corroborate his experience, he worked with Tony Rodrigues to set up a double-blind remote viewing experiment for the space ark. After several remote viewers felt they were being blocked, one of the remote viewers, Veronica, succeeded and was able to clearly see the target, where it was located, and some of its history. It was later recognized to be a space ark. Moyen has previously described other space ark experiences and believes he has either teleported or bilocated to a total of six space arks located under Mt Fuji, Japan; the Bahamas (Atlantic Space Ark); the Giza Plateau, Egypt (under the Sphinx); Mauna Kea, Hawaii; Mt Kailash, Himalayas, and most recently Nazca, Peru.

– zen priest teaching the art of war, conflict In this era of profound conflict and rupture, we are witnessing disharmony at every level of humanity---within ourselves, in our relationships, across our communities, within the nation, and across nation states. Group conflict can stretch and break us, but if we are willing to endure the pain, it can also lead us closer to existential realities that are uncomfortable, yet essential, for us to face. When collective conflict arises, it thrusts us into liminal spaces of uncertainty, loss, vitality, and initiation. In these moments, we must ask ourselves: how do we learn to listen to the individual and collective soul that is emerging? This New School conversation series will weave perspectives from depth and transpersonal psychologies, somatics, cosmology, and consciousness into conflict transformation. We will learn from wisdom keepers who are deeply trained in both the technical craft of conflict resolution and the spiritual, ancestral, and traditional wisdom that allows us to see deeply into conflict---transforming shared suffering into opportunities for healing. In this conversation, Serena talks with Norma Wong, Zen priest and teacher about the art of war and conflict, who recently served to help facilitate a mutual path through the conflict between native culture/science and western discovery science posing as a dispute over the construction of a telescope on Mauna Kea. Norma Wong (Norma Ryuko Kawelokū Wong Roshi) Norma is a Native Hawaiian and Hakka life-long resident of Hawaiʻi. She is the abbot of Anko-in, an independent branch temple of Daihonzan Chozen-ji and serves practice communities in Hawai‘i, across the continental U.S., and in Toronto, Canada. She is an 86th generation Zen Master, having trained at Chozen-ji for over 40 years. In earlier years, Wong served as a Hawai‘i state legislator, working on the return of ceded lands and settlement of land issues. In recent years, Wong has been called back into service to facilitate breaking the impasse and transforming policy and governance on issues of seeming contradiction. In the conflict between native culture/science and western discovery science posing as a dispute over the construction of a telescope on Mauna Kea, Wong was a team member narrating and facilitating a path forward through mutual stewardship. She is currently an advisor to Speaker of the Hawai‘i House of Representatives Scott Saiki, serving in policy development and facilitation roles on issues such as the protection of the aquifer from fuel contamination at Red Hill, and the long-term response to the Lahaina wildfires. Find out more about Norma on her website: normawong.com Serena Bian Serena is pursuing a life that remains attentive to the tenderness of a snail's soft body and reverent to the miracle of its spiraled shell. Working with U.S. Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy, Serena serves as a Special Advisor and brings a spiritual and systemic understanding to the public health crisis of loneliness and isolation. As a chaplain-in-training, Serena is pursuing questions of how we chaplain the end of extractive systems that isolate communities from themselves and one another. She is involved with multi-generational, multi-spiritual communities like the Nuns and Nones, devoted to courage, peacebuilding, and love. She participates on the Board of Commonweal and CoGenerate.

Standing Above the Clouds – Picture of Activists On today's show, I'll speak to filmmaker Jalena Keane-Lee about her documentary “Standing Above the Clouds”.  This is the ongoing story about the fight against the construction of the Thirty Meter Telescope on Mauna Kea in Hawai'i. “Standing Above the Clouds was created through a collaborative process with our film protagonists. Through making this film, our team aimed to re-imagine the documentary form to be a healing process that returned agency to the community featured in our film through a trauma informed practice of affirmative consent. We worked closely with our onscreen collaborators at every step of the process and have taken great care to mitigate any legal, emotional, or cultural harm that releasing a film might cause. It is our team's great privilege and honor to have been invited into the Mauna Kea protector community and into the lives and homes of the families you see in our film.” ~ Jalena Keane-Lee (director, cinematographer, producer) The film is an intimate journey through the women's lives both on and off the mountain.  It explores the physical and emotional toll of sustaining a grassroots movement. After nine months of living on the mountain, it gifts each woman with hope, strength and the understanding that victory is in standing in unity for sacred places where healing occurs through the sisterhood they have created along the way.

We get to know the region through its culture, history, and legends. You can join us with an auditory and visual adventure through podcasts and videos. Learn more about the invasion at http://celticinvasion.com/ #celticmusic #irishmusic #celticmusicpodcast I WANT YOUR FEEDBACK What are you doing today while listening to the podcast? Please email me. I'd love to see a  picture of what you're doing while listening or of a band that you saw recently. Email me at follow@bestcelticmusic. Russell Howell emailed: "Tractoring on our smallhold while listening! Really love the show, it is my companion anytime I am on the tractor or making mead!" Maura Goodin emailed: "Good afternoon, I didn't expect to be writing in to a podcast today, but I had yesterday's episode playing while I was working from home today and was pleasantly surprised by the second track you selected, by Keltricity; the set they were playing is all tunes that my dad, John Goodin, composed. He passed away two and a half years ago now. He was a mandolinist and guitarist, who composed a pretty wide range of music from dance tunes to classical pieces; the Classical Mandolin Society of America has preserved his website and blog at https://mandotopia.classicalmandolinsociety.org/, where he collected all his recordings and sheet music (much of it freely available under a Creative Commons license and maintained by CMSA). I see that Keltricity is from Louisville, which makes sense, as my dad was one of the founding members of the Louisville Mandolin Orchestra before my family relocated to northeastern Iowa; he kept in touch with a lot of the local musicians and the Louisville Mandolin Orchestra actually played so many of his pieces that they ended up recording a CD of them (called, of course, "It's All Goodin"). The tunes Keltricity played in that set are all ones that were in the repertoire for my dad's contra dance band, Contratopia, and that recording featured some of his published harmony parts as well. Contratopia still regularly plays for dances here in Minneapolis where I live, at the same folk dance hall where my own band plays, so we're keeping up the music since he's gone. I'm not sure if you've ever played Contratopia on the show, sorry  -  -  I definitely haven't listened to the full back catalog of podcasts, though I've been an occasional listener for many years!  -  -  but I know you've played a track by another band that their pianist is in, Brass Lassie, so if you haven't checked their recordings out, you might like to! Their albums all have a mix of original tunes by band members and traditional tunes in Celtic and old - time styles. They used to tour the DC area contra dance scene and play for the Sunday afternoon all - waltzes dances there, so there's probably more than your average number of waltzes on their albums. Sorry for such a long email! Last bit of fun trivia as a thank - you, the "Maggie" in the tune name from that set is our old family dog, a border collie we had when I was little. (She predated the digital age or I'd include a photo!) My dad wrote so many tunes that he named them after anything he could think of (or just the day he wrote them, if he never got around to a proper name), so there's several named after our various pets. This set has another one named after Maggie: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=56neWaCahc4 I hope you have a good weekend, and thanks again for the great surprise!"  

A year ago, Matt thought his running days were over. His knees were bone-on-bone, he was arthritic, and he couldn't run downhill to save his life. Now 50 years old, he recently set the FKT on Mauna Kea, just missed the master's record at Mt Marathon, and is training 12+ hours per week.  

Last week we released Aloha ‘Āina, the second film in our Shifting Landscapes documentary film series, which tells the story of how acclaimed Native Hawaiian poet Jamaica Heolimeleikalani Osorio brought her poetry and love of the land to the forefront of the movement to protect the sacred Mauna Kea from the construction of a thirty-meter telescope. To complement the film, we're returning to an investigative story we published several years ago when moves to begin construction first ignited protest at the foot of the mountain. Written by Chelsea Steinauer-Scudder, this story—rich with the voices and chants of Mauna Kea land protectors—traces the collision of values that continues to play out on the mountain, giving a depth of context to the promise of guardianship maintained by the Kanaka Maoli community. Read the transcript. Watch the film Aloha ‘Āina, by Adam Loften and Emmanuel Vaughan-Lee, the first in our four-part Shifting Landscapes documentary film series. Photo by Kapulei Flores.
