High temperatures (ºF) in and around Alaska on Sunday. Colder in Southeast Alaska and continued below normal across the region. Statewide, this was the 13th day in a row to be colder than normal: only three days in the past month have been above normal. #akwx #weather @climatologist49.bsky.social

White standing doll facing forwards with blonde hair tied back wearing a dark top and matching trousers

Rosa Bonheur (1822-1899), French painter, obtained a police permit to wear "men's clothes' as expected female fashions were so restrictive. She was so popular that girls were given dolls dressed in trousers to mimic Rosa’s unconventional style #WomensArt #WomensHistoryMonth

What Emergency Managers Say They Need More Than Ever We heard from more than 40 current and former emergency managers in 11 states about what they need to prepare for the next disaster — and what they aren’t getting.

More than half of the 1,689 local emergency management agencies that responded to a survey last year have either one or no permanent full-time employees.

A “notable percentage” of local emergency managers who responded are volunteers.

Extensive ‘concerning language’ about mistreatment of Natives flagged at Sitka historical site in Trump-ordered review Leaked database shows descriptions of forced relocations, warfare, enslavement, mass deaths among those reviewed as part of president’s targeting of ‘anti-American’ content.

If I was the Sitka National Historic Park, I’d play the fascist game & delete an “and” or add a comma. I’d tell them I “fixed” it. Or I’d add MORE truth. I’d also find out who “reported” it & leak that or just put a small sign up next to the displays & note the person(s) who complained.

"Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Mary Peltola hasn’t made any public statements about the Iran war, and her campaign social media accounts have been silent on the subject.

When contacted Thursday, her campaign spokesperson said she had no comment."

We can throw another $500,000,000,000 at the Pentagon this year and spend $1,000,000,000/day on a wholly useless war, but we can't afford to hire doctors and nurses to take care of our veterans? The United States is such an irresponsible, messed up country right now.

The Trump DOJ FINALLY releases missing files directly alleging sexual abuse of a minor by Trump that DOJ claims were “offline” but then suddenly came online after Pamela Jo was subpoenaed by House Oversight.

I review the allegations, including specific details about Trump.
