This. 1000x over.

Ouch. That’s deplorable. As a Raven parent, my requests are scrutinized & must match my kid’s ILP. Another homeschool program he was in had the same problem. There’s always folks working the system, which works against those who need it. 😡

Horizontal Scrolling Containers Are Not a Content Strategy I should clarify that I am not talking about carousels. That said, because users often consider horizontal scrolling containers to be carousels, I will be talking about carousels. Also, this post is w...

Wow. Also, thank you for the clear and descriptive alt text!

That’s relatable. I haven’t finished the books yet, so I don’t want start the TV series yet.

Wow. Noted. (takes off watch list) On a happier note, I’ve heard people have been pleased about Murderbot, despite a few differences.

AlaskaX: Hibernation Science

This class explores the science of hibernation across various animals, examining physiological adaptations for extreme arctic environments and their potential applications to relevant contexts such as space travel, medicine, and human survival.

Just a reminder: We're probably a month or less out from another potential glacier flood here in Alaska's capital city.

If you haven't spent much time in rural areas- especially rural AK- you probably think of your local public media as just one of many options. But in rural areas, they're *the* option.

If you're thinking about donating, consider sending it to KOTZ or another small station- it'll go a lot further.

That’s an interesting thought! So far, I’ve donated to the area relevant to me: KTOO and Alaska Public Media. More to KTOO since I figure they will get less, but I think they’re important to Juneau. I wonder which outlets and communities will be hurting the most.

Uh oh. Time to protect my strawberries!

All Alaska, Horizon planes grounded temporarily due to IT outage A temporary ground stop is in place for all of Alaska and Horizon Airlines Sunday due to an IT outage, Alaska Airlines said Sunday evening.

Alaska Airlines recommends checking your flight status before leaving for the airport.

Seriously. What did she really think would happen?! She’s been a consistent disappointment.

Many rural Alaskan stations lost over half their funding. These are crucial sources of information in these communities. If your public radio is safe, maybe give a boost to one of these.

For real! Is this really where we are today?? 😭

I was checking you out on iTunes about a week ago! Which album are you most proud of? (I’m sure it changes over time!)

2 emails and a LinkedIn message by the same dude trying to sell me his future plug and play solution to "fix website accessibility with minimum effort". It's official, the grifters are flooding and it's ugly.
So, please remember: magical plug and play accessibility solutions are snake oil.

Alaska, if you are facing summer school programs disrupted or canceled due to the July 1 federal US Dept of Education funding freeze - I want to hear from you. DMs open or email csmith@alaskabeacon.com

Son got a little bag of custom M&Ms at the July 4th parade. Don’t know who was handing them out, but really unique to see AK Native formline art on them! #Juneau #AlaskaSky

Opinion: Federal funding keeps rural Alaska libraries open Libraries are lifelines for rural Alaskans beyond just books.

How are federal cuts hurting rural libraries?

Alaska librarian Theresa Quiner has the details - federal funds keep Alaska's rural libraries open for patrons. More: www.adn.com/opinions/202... #ForOurLibraries

Take action, tell Congress to support funding for libraries: ala.org/showup

Is it back on? We saw the lights flicker in our house but we didn’t lose power downtown.

I’m on 11ty now too. HTML/CSS for the win! Was WP, but I abandoned that due to the current “leadership”.

#Juneau #AlaskaSky I hate to hear it. And yesterday morning’s rain was so yuck!

That bit was pretty funny. The joke’s on them because I don’t drive.
