Guys at the streams we're getting we can overtake Number 1 within 3 days.
But keep in mind guys that every end of the month the Green 🟢 app always delete a huge chunk of streams.
So please don't stop streaming when we get our goal. We should give DSYLM with a huge gap.

Any help would be appreciated! 🤍

Why am I doing this? Read part of my story below!

Donate 🔗 gofund.me/de8c355ea

A screenshot of a GoFundMe page which reads:

Why am I doing this? Well, 2025 didn't go as planned. Between a family emergency (that required hospitalization) and a slew of health problems (blood pressure, anxiety, no hearing in my right ear), doctor visits, and new medications, I've come to a crossroads. I've been writing and reporting for 14 years, and it appears it's time for a new direction. It's weird because I've never done anything else...

Anyway, I plan to finish out the year and decide what's next over the holidays. This fundraiser is to help for the next two months.

Yours cruelly,

Bee

This Indigenous Peoples Day please speak up: another typhoon sweeping away homes of Alaska's Natives, who, during settlement (statehood: 1948) were forced to end ways of life (like my Grandma's) involving mobility across regions & stuck them in flood-prone/unstable villages with housing deficits.

In June, the @washingtonpost.com sent me and @byaliceli.bsky.social to witness cultural burns in California. We learned how they encourage beneficial vegetation, reduce wildfire risk, and provide traditional food and craft sources for tribes in the Klamath region.

How indigenous practices can help protect forests

The Post followed cultural burning practices, an Indigenous tradition now permitted under California law and used to help protect forests from wildfires.

Traditional knowledge tells us fires have been a part of the landscape for millennia. Burn scars data show but a slice of that history of fire in the forests until Western colonization all but snuffed it out starting in the 19th century 📊:

This chart shows burn scar data from every year starting in the 1600s to 2015 based on research from Alan H. Taylor, Valerie Trouet, Carl N. Skinner, and Scott Stephens. There are solid lines indicating presence of fire starting in the 1600s. The lines fade in the 1900s when the U.S. began a total fire suppression model for managing forest fires.
