I checked, and Mercury is not in retrograde. This is just how things are now apparently.

Washed out of the depths of grieving and struggle and storm by a sudden sunset #dailies #alive #WinteringInShadow

These are mostly indigenous communities in Alaska that have been slammed by the storm.

The local manager of a small airline fleet says he is the only one doing evacuations right now!

Defund FEMA and people are abandoned. Defund public media and no-one knows.

FYI, today is Indigenous Peoples Day.

Flooding seen with water up to the crash barriers of local roads

Sheds and debris lie scattered in the storm

I have been watching the devastating videos from friends and colleagues. Some folks are still missing in cold waters. The few news and info sources for locals are also the same ones being cut by federal funding. People should know this is happening

The U.S. Coast Guard commander for Western Alaska compared the devastation in Southwest Alaska villages over the weekend to the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.

Officials say storm 'completely devastated' Western Alaska communities

A Coast Guard commander recounts scenes of Alaskans swimming in floodwaters in the middle of the night, in search of debris to hold onto.

Hey, Alaska's been hit by a typhoon and no one is talking about it. Indigenous towns are in need of aid. People are missing and the gov't is still shut down.

If any creators here are in affected areas, please drop links for aid.

🚨The absence of media coverage of this natural disaster in Alaska, the lost/missing people, and the destruction of the aftermath is up to us to share. Please help if you can - even if it is just spreading awareness. There is no FEMA going to help them. 1/2

I’m just standing with you on this. Similar hyper-sensitivity but not testing for MCAS now. Just figured out my stomach meridian flips & has to be sedated w acupressure to avoid symptoms. Immediate or minutes following eating. Wild.

Holding that good data and people arrive for you!

Well, those photos are a wonderful way to enter into it. It really does help weave you into the moment. Much needed with the state of the world. Will be fun to see where the intrigue takes you! I love my little #dailies

Here’s a little fall messy melody from my newly returned tiny walks. I love this time of bounty and decay all mixed in together in the mundane. Makes my heart happy.

A fading stalk and new growth illuminated by the setting sun.

A jumble of flowers, fuzzy white puff balls and spiky stamen balls above a green thicket of leaves.

Golden hour reveals leaves & sharp shadows against the smooth bark of a crepe myrtle sister tree.

Directional flowering grasses create a pleasing diagonal pattern across the frame

I woke up in the middle of the night with the first two lines of this poem repeating in my head. I couldn't sleep until I wrote it on my phone.

I fell asleep almost immediately after I finished.

During a Quiet Moment

How brightly shines the pale light of hope
Underneath the canopy of loss?
This bone, this mind, this gristle
Mingles and lingers in a sea of fallen pine leaves
(A chorus of once evergreen angels now at rest)

Tossing and turning in the night, these words
Trace the dreaming winds, whispering
Curl your hand behind your ear
Listen as they say:

The impossible is merely another name
for yesterday
A chasm we daily cross
