The open secret that Thomas King is not Indigenous at all is finally verified, and honestly it's a relief. Having him just confess this instead of going out kicking and screaming like so many before him causes a LOT less harm to Indigenous communities.

It still sucks though.

In rural Alaska, people rely on public radio stations, like KYUK, for critical information about natural disasters. But after Congress clawed back federal dollars, KYUK lost 70% of its funding.

In remote Alaska, public radio station KYUK is crucial during natural disasters. Without federal funding, how will it survive?

I Indigenize it. I love gathering & eating with my in-laws, and as the only Native in their lives it's my responsibility to keep it relevant.

I make wojape with cranberries & choke cherries harvested by folx they love; we talk about how Thanksgiving food is Indigenous food & the first feast myth.
Actually in the spirit of this conversation, what’s a decision you made about a past Thanksgiving holiday that really paid off? I think people often feel trapped by their lives. Sharing our experiences can liberate us from that sense of claustrophobia.
On the most recent episode of VIBE CHECK, we answer listener questions about Thanksgiving, most importantly “do you go celebrate with the family members you don’t even like?”

Hey all! I hope you come to New Orleans for AALS 2026. I know @brianlfrye.bsky.social and I would love to see you.

If you are going, stay at the Loew’s rather than the Hilton. ICE is currently terrorizing New Orleans’ immigrant communities, and they’re staying at the Hilton Riverside. 1/2

Annoying friend Jeffrey then asked what the point of giving the lease acknowledgment is if you’re not going to give the lease back to the previous tenants or at least make some donation to the Tenants Union of Washington.
