Thank you @adn.com for publishing my obituary for perhaps the most beloved bear in the world: the late, great, king 480 Otis.
Fat Bear Week has arrived, featuring some of the biggest and brawniest bears of Brooks River. But longtime fans will note that there are several beloved bears missing from this year’s bracket.
Remembering 480 Otis, the ‘Buddha of Brooks Falls’ and Fat Bear Week’s greatest champion
With four Fat Bear Week titles and a Zen master approach, the bear had garnered plenty of fans since it was first sighted in 2001.

I personally know one nurse who already moved and another who's working on it.
The BC government just said in a press release that the number of US healthcare workers, including doctors, has doubled since May. The province is making it easier to practice here.

Alaska Gov. Mike Dunleavy has said again and again that the state government would work with Alaska Natives to address the crisis of missing and murdered Indigenous people.
BUT…the state is refusing to release lists of Indigenous murder victims. @kylehopkinsak.bsky.social

Alaska Vowed to Resolve Murders of Indigenous People. Now It Refuses to Provide Their Names.
When the nonprofit Data for Indigenous Justice filed public records requests with the Alaska Department of Public Safety concerning cases it had investigated, the state rejected them.

NEW: Alaska publishes a quarterly list with the names of Indigenous people reported missing — but it still doesn’t issue a list for those who’ve been killed.
When a local nonprofit requested that information, the state said no.
