Hundreds sheltering in Western Alaska schools. Conditions are dire. “We're moving as fast as we can. We know that folks are miserable," incident commander says. In one town, nearly the entire population is sheltering in the school. Toilets not working. alaskapublic.org/news/environ...

spooky sketch to get this idea out of my head

"Kipnuk isn’t Kipnuk anymore. I pray they evacuate safely." – Kristy Fox, resident of Kipnuk wrote on Facebook after being evacuated by the U.S. Coast Guard with her family. Roughly 600 people are still sheltering there at the local school and 400 people still in Kwigillingok, as of Tuesday.

Months after losing federal money, the Interior Department has stepped forward with a one-year reprieve for 14 small public broadcasting stations in Alaska.

"Unable to speak English, this petite 75-year-old Korean man was thrown into the American criminal justice system to fend for himself," writes Andrew.

This was the year I fell in love with salmon and now have a favorite type, I think I'm one step closer to being allowed to claim the PNW as a home

Zoomed out view, and a "before" picture. This was actually a rework of an older acrylic painting from 2015 (on right) I gave up on, at the time it seemed too difficult and I didn't like how it was turning out. I went over it all in oils using skills I learned since then.

Last day of #RoseCityComicCon! I have three raccoon pride patches left - block print ink with embroidered embellishments #RCCC2025

Great day, thank you for all the love #RoseCityComicCon - looking forward to seeing everyone tomorrow! I’m going to embroider a bi raccoon and a non-binary raccoon first thing in the morning, let me know if there are any other flags you’d like to see for iron on patches! #RCCC2025

We're funded, but in the last few hours, my car got hit-and-runned(while parked) and I had to turn down a gig I really wanted due to caretaking responsibilities, so the film having a comfortable budget will really ease my overall stress! www.kickstarter.com/projects/shi...

Today I got an email from a listener who said she wasn't going to be listening any longer because I had run an ad for ICE. As in Immigration and Customs Enforcement. When I was pretty sure I'd both filled out the Google form and blocked political ads from that form over a year ago.

See you tomorrow, Portland! #RoseCityComicCon #RCCC2025
