NEW: There’s a disaster unfolding in Alaska right now. And no major network is covering it.
The remnants of Typhoon Halong battered western Alaska overnight. Homes, with people in them, have literally been swept into the Bering Strait.
At least 20 are missing. No comment from any federal agency.

A typhoon hit Alaska -- displacing over 1,000 people, washing away homes and entire communities.
And why isn't this all over the news?
They're Indigenous communities.
Happy Indigenous People Day.

The autistic community deserves to be heard!

HHS now has an autism registry. The same HHS Director has publicly stigmatized our community.

Last week, I watched a TikTok from a man who was convicted of a crime and he negotiated for a longer sentence so that he could serve his sentence on a California fire camp and ultimately have a slightly shorter sentence.

There are no bad feelings!
Yes, some feel bad in the moment. Yes, some are challenging, some are motivating. Yes, some may drive us to act in ways that we don't want to act.
All feelings are important, all feelings deserve to be recognized, validated, respected, processed.
