If you're able, please consider a donation to the Alaska Community Fund to help people in western Alaska impacted by ex-typhoon Halong even as winter is bearing down. All the money donated goes to the region. Quyana. #Alaska #AlaskaSky

Screen shot of the ACF Western Alaska Disaster Relief 2025 Fund: "In response to recent severe storms, including Typhoon Halong, that devastated Alaska's western coast, local community organizations and regional partners have come together to establish the Western Alaska Disaster Relief Fund, housed at the Alaska Community Foundation. Two major storm systems struck western Alaska in rapid succession, bringing record flooding, extreme winds, and extensive damage from Kwigillingok to Kotzebue. Homes have been damaged and destroyed, critical infrastructure compromised, and subsistence resources disrupted. The Western Alaska Disaster Relief Fund will provide support to affected communities for immediate relief, recovery support, and long-term resilience, including disaster preparedness initiatives. Distribution decisions will be guided by advisors including regional leaders and stakeholders, ensuring resources reach affected communities based on locally identified needs. The Western Alaska Disaster Relief Fund brings together a growing list of local, regional, and statewide partners endorsing the fund, including: Association of Village Council Presidents Alaska Federation of Natives Alaska Native Heritage Center Alaska Native Tribal Health Consortium Bethel Community Services Foundation Calista Corporation Healthy Alaska Natives Foundation First Alaskans Institute Kawerak, Inc. Native Peoples Action Maniilaq Association Yukon Kuskokwim Health Corporation"

It's quite remarkable how EVERY plan from this administration is like designed to make your life worse like that's quite impressive actually. Every policy is like scientifically engineered in a lab to just fuck you up.

The difficulty of planting for how big the plant WILL get…in theory, this little guy will by 48” by 48” but he looks so lonely!

OK. My quick attempt at "My Omelas, Right Or Wrong."

1/X

Let me tell you about this incredible place, Omelas. It’s huge, folks, absolutely beautiful. Everybody’s happy. Everybody’s winning. The economy, it's fantastic, the best economy anyone’s ever seen, believe me.

bluesky signup requirements have relaxed to the point at which a lot of people on here have never committed arson. you used to need either two convictions or eight charges. in rare cases someone in the arson community could vouch for you, but loopholes were rare. now it's essentially a free-for-all

Well, we're learning more about what "harmful DEI" is. Inspiring Girls* Expeditions Alaska just lost a large chunk of their current funding. This is an outstanding free program that has brought great young women into earth science. Consider a donation, maybe? www.inspiringgirls.org/donate-uaf-e...
