Emailed my three federal level reps to voice my anger about this today. And listening to this reality makes it even more vital they hear from us! www.reddit.com/r/BlackPeopl...

So once applications open for the $1.7B slush fund, we're all going to apply and break their portal, right?

I know folks are burned out an tired hearing of politics. Yet here we are, another day of off the charts corruption. www.reddit.com/r/BlackPeopl...

Looks like the sea ice has broken for the beach. Won't be long until open water and time for beach picnics 🌞

The stories & photos from today’s voting rights marches in Alabama deserve to be seen by people who weren’t able to stand there in person. If this piece moves you, please share it widely & help make sure these voices aren’t lost in the noise of a crowded news cycle. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

Why is a 76-year-old man doing all the hard work in this moment? Where are the Millennial/Gen Z artists (ahem, Taylor Swift) to shake their audiences into sobriety about what is going on? open.substack.com/pub/saltypol...

When I tell the aggressive gays that I’m ace

Feeling overwhelmed with all of this. LISTEN. Another Louisiana resident (Marshawn is the only name we have) testifies against the state’s racial gerrymander, speaking truth to power up and down the hearing room and predicts how this story will end. Speak your truth, fight and believe.

“When you have spent your life having your identity defined by others, the ability to write yourself into existence, in your own words, on your own terms, has a powerful allure.” Online spaces are vital for cultivating trans and queer lives, as well as archiving our rich histories.

PabloReports: Ted Cruz called you a parasite and disparaged your work as a bartender. AOC: I think it’s funny that he’s been taking a government paycheck for 23 years but has the audacity to criticize someone who has come from a family that had to work their way up and earn their place here.

A 19-year-old trans woman was killed in UW student housing Sunday night. Police are still searching for the suspect. She was the seventh trans woman reporter attacked in the Seattle area in twenty months, but the first to die. tinyurl.com/4kxerszd

Women in the usa make up 50.5% of the population. And yet the scum elected as prez can't seem to treat them with much decency. Why is this republicans? Why do any of you support these attitudes? www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...

Alaska Standard Time is the more accurate, honest, natural time zone for Juneau and the Alaska panhandle. Ditch Daylight Saving Time!

A picture I took so long ago! This was the boat Donaldson. It was used to rescue Ada Blackjack from Wrangler island, she was the only survivor of a failed arctic expedition. We used to mess around on this and called it the dizzy ship!

This is depressing mostly because it shows how powerful pop culture is compared to education. The Flintstones helped normalize the image of humans living alongside dinosaurs, and if someone grows up with that as a “default mental picture,” it can stick even if they later learn otherwise.

Lovely sunny Thursday at Nome (26F, -3.3C at Noon), with the Nome National Forest hanging tough on the shorefast sea ice. Nome sea ice radar shows the shorefast ice is currently stable out to about 3.5 miles from town. #akwx #SeaIce @hanners64n.bsky.social

Codifying Roe, passing the John Lewis Voting Rights Act, and holding members of this administration criminally accountable are important goals, but none of it sticks without Supreme Court reform.

Springtime ski time

After reading a post about Alison Laing, a trans soul breaking ground for those like myself that have outed ourselves recently, I know how thankful I am for those that came before me and had a much harder time finding acceptance. #trans #history

Alaskans - please contact your legislators asap to weigh in against approval of Cox as attorney general. They vote on May 7. Our representatives and senators need to hear from us that Cox is a Christian Nationalist culture warrior doing the bidding of Project 25! www.dermotcole.com/reportingfro...

The Trump administration has tried to block journalists’ access to the Pentagon and White House, silence its critics on TV, and slash funding for PBS and NPR — but our First Amendment rights are irrefutable.

Would someone please explain to me how a judge orders The Epstein Files released, the order is ignored, and there are ZERO consequences… Is the ‘rule of law’ officially dead?!

The same day SCOTUS dismantled the Voting Rights Act, I watched Kamala Harris take the stage at the Douglas Awards. She didn’t offer comfort; she offered real talk 🔥 “This is how they play. They are strategic. They think long-term and they are ruthless…we have to be ruthless too.”

Unacceptable. Jonathan Ross should be in custody awaiting trial for the murder of Renée Good.

An epic ski into the kigluaik mountains yesterday, sadly it was like skiing in a bottle of milk most of the day 🤣 Often hard to tell up from down!

📌Barack Obama was targeted 11 times in assassination attempts during this two terms. I bet you don't remember any of them because they were handled through proper channels, professionally, and he isn't a whiny bitch.

So there's this classic fable called The Boy Who Cried Wolf that I'm sure was read to all of you at the age of 5.

"Can tech save the world?" is the wrong question. The right question is "what kind of world do we want to build?", and then the tech can help us get there. It's the re-invented worldview that the tech gives you access to that matters. The tech needs to support that worldview, not dictate it.

Camping with my team, north side kigluaik mountains. On my way to Shishmaref. This is very close to the site of the upcoming graphite mine in the works. Circa 1986 maybe?

America doesn’t depend on the Strait of Hormuz — but rural Alaska does, write energy researcher Gwen Holdmann and Alaska Federation of Natives President Benjamin Mallott in a commentary for the @alaskabeacon.com alaskabeacon.com/2026/04/23/a...

Born in fire, battered by the wreckage of colliding worlds, covered for eons in magma, wracked by volcanoes, frozen and thawed again and again, and after everything went just wrong and right enough, here it is: our home. The rarest gift in the known universe. Happy Earth Day.
