Western Alaska was hit hard by the recent storms. Houses floated away in Kipnuk, houses flipped over, people lost everything from the flooding that came with the storms. Please donate if you can. This group has a long history of supporting AK communities.

Please don’t scroll past this.
I’m still here… still fighting to survive.
I’m sick, my father is very sick — and we have no way to get treatment.
We live in a tent, in the freezing cold, with nothing but the wind and the sound of our hunger.

"Wearing an N95 or better respirator in every place where you share the air with people who might have Covid is the single most important thing you can do. More than 400 studies show masking is highly effective at protecting you[...] The less infections you sustain, the more your brain is shielded"👇

Are we suffering from benevolence debt?

As a Covid-Conscious person, your choice to continue with masking and mitigations is part of the legacy you're building.

It matters more than you'll ever know.

Awkward truths:

This is also what social workers do.

Why is it okay to do this if the excuse is "they're too poor to buy cereal" but a crime if it's ICE?

Why are you all *just now* realizing the horrors of government sanctioned racist/classist family separation??

@atherton.bsky.social says, "Nothing more embarrassing to be than an ICE agent.

"Oh, you've got a big day at work? Do you have to stand around an elementary school awkwardly waiting to separate a family? And that's your job? You get paid to do that? And I'm sure you show your face. Oh, you don't? Why not? Is this shameful?""

That's just it, isn't it?

We have to come on here & we have to not only advocate on the daily for ourselves (when we already have to do that in our everyday personal lives), but we have to expose our every piece of existence to /prove/ why we 'deserve' help.

Hey fwiw it actually hurts that so many of you that do this were people I considered comrades, or even friends.

And then you put microaggressions on my TL until I *have* to unfollow or mute you bc you've proven you don't give a shit about adoptees, and I know you'll never have my back in any fight.

That's funny, bc I respect my African Grey too much to refer to him with adoption marketing language.
