So sorry for what you're going through. Here's a Pancake pic for you.

Yes! That quote hit me so hard that I had to put the book down for a minute.

You are one of the few non-Indigenous people I've seen speaking out about this. Thank you.

I used to work in North Texas at a nature center near the Trinity River. We had a preschool, summer programs, and hosted field trips. We had a weather radio. It might have been a requirement for our preschool accreditation. I bet you're right that a lot of places don't have it.

Echoing what others have said. Such a great book!

An interior closet is also good. When I lived in TX/OK that always felt safer to me because there was less glass in the closet.

I thought that was weird, too. I looked it up and I think it might be from Ohio.

I texted this to my husband to ask his early 20s coworker. She says yes, dozen is an old person word.

@kexp.bsky.social played a lot of his music yesterday. It was sooooo good.

My understanding is that they don't typically respond to callers because they get such a high volume of voicemails. But staff tally up what the calls are about and share that with the elected officials.

I did something similar a while back that was transcribing field notes of bird sightings. It was really interesting. Thanks for sharing this!

Chokma. Ana'akookya. Chikasha saya.

Yes! I found you when I was searching for just that. Chikashshanompa' ithanali. I'm learning Chickasaw.

Yay! I keep checking to see if you made the move. I'm glad you're here. Just in time for the storm!
