kyle’s flight was canceled today lol still looking for kyle

I've been posting every day on TikTok for a month, and let me tell you! It's so much more fun to contribute to the platform than to spectate and doomscroll all the time. It gives me a real reason to open the app lol Anyway, follow me: tiktok.com/@shaynenuesca

My brother is graduating with his BA in Comms Design next spring from UAA. He’s looking for leads to internships or entry level roles with a local agency, studio, and anywhere he can contribute art! If you know of anything please lmk or email him at [email protected] Thank you! (Please share!)

around this time last year, we landed in manila at midnight and we could see people setting off fireworks for christmas. we drove in the middle of the night to surprise my grandma. then we spent the next few weeks taking in all the little things. missing my home a little extra today (and always tbh)

are there any stationery shops in anchorage? 😫

solstice is tomorrow. thank goodness.

The devastation we’ve seen across the Philippines this year is more than just headlines and images for me. Some of my earliest memories are wading in waist-deep floodwaters and being without power for days. That was nearly 30 years ago.

Holy fuck. Is everyone okay? #earthquakeptsd

Today marks my 29th year in Alaska.

I announced that I started a small business/social enterprise supporting the Filipino American community in Anchorage. I didn’t plan for the launch to fall on the same week as Black Friday/Small Business Saturday (I was going to do this next year). But here we are and I’m excited!

Excellent journalism highlighting how the State of Alaska is failing rural—and predominantly Alaska Native—students. “over the past 25 years, state officials have largely ignored hundreds of requests by rural school districts to fix the problems that have left public schools across AK crumbling”

I’ve been reviving Rooted, my newsletter/online magazine, and I’m finally getting around to doing some of the writing. Here’s my first piece — in a minute — about Anchorage artist Liza Dizon and her debut exhibit “Reflections.”

so is alaska airlines slowly getting rid of the “alaska” branding?

I wrote about changing how and where I show up as a Filipino American trying to build a new sense of community.

shoutout to everyone who believes in me good luck everybody else ♌️ ♈️ ♊️

MANILA, Philippines – President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. declared a State of National Calamity for a period of one year to hasten the rescue, recovery, relief, and rehabilitation efforts following the onslaught of Typhoon Tino (international name: Kalmaegi). Read more: tmt.news/2219338

no seriously 😭😭😭

anchorage is still so upset by the last admin’s snow response that the muni is making plowing a personality trait 😭

No big deal, but a contributor to my tiny newsletter got to interview Kristin Villanueva from "The Pitt." 🔥🔥🔥

maybe i should get back on here. what’d i miss? do people still like it here?

this is rage bait

Please donate to Western Alaska disaster relief efforts to support the response to Typhoon Halong. I won't overexplain how displacement, underfunding and marginalization of Indigenous Peoples have devastated communities. But know this: Our Alaska Native friends and family need us to show up.

Editors and reporters of the Homer News and Peninsula Clarion submitted their notices of resignation today, after management from Carpenter Media Group made changes to a published story last week in response to intimidation from a state lawmaker and without input from our newsrooms. #aknews

So much for working a final two weeks in good faith, we’ve all already been locked out of our email accounts.

#akleg The new $100k annual H1B visa fee is going to have a huge impact on Alaska's schools.

this is gourmet latch key kid cuisine

very good duck

well, we turned up the heater today. dang

wow

Is it so hard to say, this guy died horribly and we as a nation have lived with this and permitted these conditions for far too long. Something something gun reform now.

Trump confirms Charlie Kirk has died.

Charlie Kirk wasn’t the only person shot today. But, they’re not big name MAGA’s, so it’s unlikely we’ll hear much about it from this administration. At least 3 students injured in shooting at Colorado high school. #CommonsenseGunReform flip.it/5-LzW5

very rarely do i say yes to editing and publishing longform, but this one felt too good to pass up

end love teams in the philippines because wth

the alaska's news source coverage on the putin - trump summit happening right now is absolutely repulsive

in my head today so i wrote about it

trying to figure out the right balance of sharing joy in times like these

Elementary Geography: 1, Donald Trump: 0. #DonaldTrump #AnchorageAlaska #907initiative #vladimirputin #Russia

Tell us about the last time you tried to contact Sen. Dan Sullivan or Rep. Nick Begich. We're trying to see something. 🤔

hey! immigrant/naturalized citizen here! immigrants are more than just workers and what we contribute economically. was i less valuable when i was 6 y/o with a green card and couldn't make meaningful contributions to my community? no! i was a kid. we are all people first! hope this helps!

alaska ice breaker: what’s your vitamin d dosage?

anyway shinee comeback did in fact punch me in the face and has me in shambles because i too never thought we’d ever hear new (to us) vocals from jonghyun

listen, no matter how hard it gets, i am not going to pick up running for my mental health. it is not for me. art though? yes.

I thought we had to get REAL IDs a long time ago so I've had one for years now. I could've waited??!

LET'S GOOOOOOO!

oh speaking of hbo max lol
