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.

For many of us, being Indigenous means living btwn worlds, rebuilding what was taken, creating a future where our grandkids won’t have to explain why their heritage matters. We’e the prayers of those who came before us & the proof that their strength worked.

My friend Stevie White Magpie is a Lakota grandmother who lives in Box Elder, SD. She's been raising her 3 grandkids and last week her daughter died in a car crash, so now she's raising 4. She needs help with food and clothes for them, if anyone is able.

I’m heartbroken about Diane Keaton’s passing. She was fierce in her feminism, funny in her honesty, and incredibly beautiful, in every way. She aged fearlessly, reminding women everywhere that strength and beauty don’t fade, they evolve. What a woman.

Thank you, they’re my favourite boots.

My little wrists tattoos are done (they both look like this), the kid is in now getting theirs. Their tattoos are going to be larger as they have more space than I do, but they are the exact same design 😊🩷 Matching, but not creepy mom/kid tattoos lol

Mutual aid needed. Frances is an incredible voice for the Native community, for her People, standing up against racism and hate. If you can help, even just a little, it will go far towards securing housing and safety. Please donate if you can 💙

Frances Danger *Deadly SoverAuntie* @francesdanger.bsky.social · 4d

Bread and Jam for Frances #MUTUALAID💸💕

I've been housing insecure for months. I found an apartment but need help for rent/deposit. I can handle monthly if I can get the first $1500 payment. Anything helps. I'll hug you the next time I see you. Pay QR codes below. Mvto!

My car is independent. She is a 6 speed manual and wants to zip away from everyone… 😏

SassyMetisChick @sassymetischick.bsky.social · 6d

It’s so bizarre. Safety in numbers or people being creepy. Who’s to say.

SassyMetisChick @sassymetischick.bsky.social · 6d

I am sitting in an empty parking lot waiting for a store to open. I deliberately never park close to stores as I have mobility and don’t need to. I am at least 15 spots away from the door, and someone just pulled in RIGHT BESIDE ME. Come on, man lol
