after learning of the mental health crisis happening at mt. edgecumbe high school, a bunch of us got together and invited students for a meal and crafts

a local pizza spot, mean queen, donated food along with about a dozen community members

we heard students missed their dogs so poppy came too!

gunalchéesh (thank you) to our city workers and neighbors out plowing the roads, driveways, and sidewalks!

my aunt saw a side-by-side plowing the sidewalks by blatchley and asked me to pull into a driveway so she could give them some cash to get a warm coffee to show our appreciation

4 generations of my family have attended mount edgecumbe high school

my grandparents met there after ww2 and i have nephews that recently graduated

after learning of the mental health crisis happening, we’ve started organizing ways we can give back and help the students and i’m so proud of them 🥹

the mental health crisis at mt. edgecumbe high school made the paper today

8 students were admitted to our hospital in november for suicidal ideation—4 of them intentionally overdosed on medication

the administration then said that “seven students over a two-week period was not a huge number” 😡

in the spirit of the wampanoag’s kindness and generosity—please consider supporting and donating to indigenous and food banks/soup kitchens in your community this holiday season
When the Wampanoag first fed the Pilgrims
they didn't realize
they'd just invented Socialism
for undocumented refugee immigrants.

Happy Thanksgiving.

a white rainbow (fogbow?) appeared over town today

i’ve never seen one before and it tripped me out because it was a mostly cloudless sky with no rain, yet this shimmery white arch appeared out of no where and stretched across town

then we found herring washed up on the beach
