If you didn’t know, Alaska has been hit by a massive storm, causing severe flooding. Many Indigenous villages have been completely wiped out, with some houses floating away with PEOPLE INSIDE THEM. Please keep posting to spread the info. They need help.

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

A small blue house has been blown onto its roof

This is the genius of the Portland protests - they make the claims of lawlessness look not just wrong, but comical

10 years ago today I completed the last of the surgeries/radiation/chemo. Just a bad luck #cancer that came out of nowhere. Someday they’ll scatter my ashes in these beautiful mountains, but not today. Today, this day, I will live to the fullest… #livelife

A golden leaf is released in grace, its sparkle heralding the quiet farewell of thousands to follow. This majestic Bigleaf maple—furrowed bark, moss-draped—whispers a truth about nature’s cycle: life, in turning, endures.

Take care, everyone 🫶✨💛🍃

A towering Bigleaf Maple tree seen from below, its trunk covered in thick green moss. The branches spread wide, adorned with vibrant green leaves, some tinged with yellow, signifying early autumn. One bright yellow leaf is highlighted as it drifts away from the tree in the soft, golden hues of evening light. The clear blue sky peeks through the dense canopy, adding depth and contrast to the scene.

My gosh. After the US bombed multiple boats in the middle of the ocean, murdering people on grounds that they were allegedly "carrying drugs," the US Attorney General says "Just like we did with cartels, we're going to take the same approach, President Trump, with Antifa."

A peaceful inlet with calm, rippling water under a cloudy sky. A vibrant rainbow arcs from the forested hillside on the left, with a faint second rainbow visible above it. A small cluster of buildings and docks sits along the shoreline, surrounded by lush greenery. The scene is illuminated by soft, diffused light, creating a tranquil atmosphere.

I was reading this sad but sweet story today from a couple that I have followed on Twitter for some time. For those of us have saved an animal at the shelter but ended up being the one that was saved by them. washingtonbeerblog.com/the-serendip...

The Serendipitous Story of Lucy

It was raining cats and dogs, so we took one home. That’s one way I explain how Lucy came into our lives, but the story involves more than a stormy afternoon in Montana.

For new followers.

For many years on twitter, I have been doing Doggy Wednesday as a timeline cleanse to show off your pets. It was named after Crosby, who my long time followers know was the canine love of my life

I keep it in her honor.
