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.

It’s days like today I get so PISSED at billionaires (esp Elon) for destroying the Native Twitter community we spent a DECADE growing w/ the snap of his gross fingers

We had such a platform. Enough that we could bring awareness, coverage, care, action to those that needed attention — like Alaska rn

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.

Australia’s AUKUS cloud deal with Amazon may deepen military ties — but critics warn it risks surrendering digital sovereignty.

This is what happens when you request books from the library! Place a hold or an alert on Libby! Fill out the request firm on the library website! Ask at the front desk! You and your neighborhood get cool books and authors get paid. Libraries are so dang cool.

Image shows a partial screenshot of the Libby library lending app. A square version of the cover for Emily St. James’ 2025 novel “Woodworking” is shown, with the following text:

The Wait Is Over
Ready to borrow!
Woodworking
12 HOURS
Borrow
Manage Hold
Deliver Later
Placed 25 Mar
Your hold is ready after 2 weeks, including 1 redelivery, because the library acquired 59 more copies.

A red underline is beneath “the library acquired 59 more copies.”

“In her snappy little book When Australia Became a Republic, Esther Anatolitis documents the long, slow history of political change…” Big thanks to the always brilliant @juliannes.bsky.social for including When Australia Became a Republic in her column today: www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Adopting a ‘she’ll be right’ attitude to Australian politics may be seductive, but it certainly isn’t guaranteed

Australians are rightfully proud of their robust election process, yet surveys suggest very few fully understand it

Plastics now comprise about 30 per cent of the material found in birds’ nests, as experts warn fake Halloween cobwebs sold at supermarkets are fuelling the problem.
