Adopt A Station - Rescue Public Media Help preserve independent journalism and community programming across America by adopting a public media station. Congress has voted to rescind public media's funding.

Adopt A Station
Rescue Public Media

Here’s a great way to find and support Public Media stations

Some of the Alaska stations have lost over 90% of their revenue.

Nope! It’s just preserved with the use of a pressure cooker.

That was the plan for this year, but we have been so busy! Need to make room in the garage for one still.

Freezer full of salmon filets with no more room for ice cream pregnancy cravings.

Ok, it’s time I start canning some of our salmon instead of freezing it all. I was once young and fun and now I’m my grandmother.

Reminder that the Tsunami Warning Centers are part of the National Weather Service. It would be nice to have them fully funded.

Media who are writing about the Jeffrey Epstein case, please watch for these words: "Underage woman" - There is no such thing. An underage woman is a child. "Child Prostitute" — Children can NOT consent. They are rape victims, sexual assault victims, or survivors. "Sex with [minors, underage women, or etcetera.]" — It's rape. Call it rape. "Non-consensual sex" is polite weasel-wording for "rape," and rapists do NOT deserve your politeness. Their victims deserve validation of what they have been through. Thank you.

Check your language.

US Education Department to unfreeze contested K-12 funds | Alaska Beacon The administration will unfreeze the money and begin sending it to school districts next week, according to officials.

Great news for Alaska - which had an estimated $46 million frozen in federal K-12 funding + over $1.1 million for adult education programs.

Alaska's tsunami warning is canceled. Think you evacuated "for nothing"? Not so.
You confirmed you were in a tsunami zone.
You found high ground & considered evacuation routes.
You laid down "muscle memory" about how to get up and go.
In the Pacific Ring of Fire, there'll always be a next time.

I have met so many people who lived abroad as adults or children, and they have all said to do it if you get the chance.

Tsunami Warning Center in Palmer says forecasted start of tsunami for these communities are:
Sand Point - 1:16 PM
Cold Bay - 2:36 PM
Kodiak - 2:41 PM

No word on other communities (presumably later for West Pen) or forecasted size, as this is still being evaluated #akleg

Always excited at the chance to use the word defenestration.

Brb, need to check if hell froze over. My super conservative dad had something bad to say about the President.

Anchorage organizers estimate over 4,000 people attended the No Kings rally today.

A 16-person pro-Trump ‘rally’ at the Y in Soldotna. 🤮

I have access to Mango languages through my library. It’s basic, but I think it’s good for beginning a new language.

In 2023, a 63-year-old cop was found guilty of attempted sexual abuse of a minor when trying to meet up with a 16-year-old in Soldotna. It was a crime because he was a position of authority; if he hadn’t been, it would have been legal. Alaska must raise the age of consent. #AKleg

Conservatives: Abortion is bad. If you don’t want to be pregnant, don’t have sex.

Also conservatives: *complaining about raising the age of consent to 18*

A 17 yo should not being having a sexual relationship with a 27 yo. 🤮

This one hits hard. 🙁

Oof, I preferred to stay at Pike’s when I had to overnight in Fairbanks. Won’t be doing that anymore!

I am greatly enjoying watching the ravens do their little barrel rolls while they fly.
