The flush toilets in my public school worked. So did the heat & fire alarm. It's not the case for AK rural schools & despite reliance on state $$$, AK lawmakers this weekend failed to restore nearly $28M in maintenance & construction dollars vetoed in June https://t.co/hACgEsuov1

current mood: I keep writing "incite" instead of "insight."

dogs. just dogs. that is all.

Dogs are kids who don't grow up, and friends who don't disappoint.

Seeing the news and thinking of the first words William Harlan Hale intoned on the VOA into occupied Europe, 1942: “Today, and daily from now on, we shall speak to you about America and the war. The news may be good for us. The news may be bad. But we shall tell you the truth.”

ICYMI: I recently published an investigation on the conditions inside Alaska's rural public schools for @KYUKNews, @propublica and NPR. Today, I talked about the project on @180099native: https://t.co/AYh2EMZK6S

@ElBeardsley stay safe. I will be listening for you and wishing you well!

jumping in to say "Unrest continues with significant gas emissions" isn't only a description applicable to Mt. Spurr.

[Alaska AVO @alaska_avo]

This NPR story, with local reporting from around the country, including from me in Seattle, paints a picture of the haphazard downsizing if not dismantling of the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration. https://t.co/qOFds3KnHd

@edlavaCNN Thank you Ed. That’s so kind of you!

Conditions inside Alaska’s rural public schools put teachers and students in danger. Listen to the first in a three part series. https://t.co/x3qa2mxrE1

[Emily Schwing @EmilySchwing]

I spent the last year crawling around in Alaska’s rural public schools. What I found is a public health and safety crisis and the state’s Indigenous students are likely to feel the greatest impact.

just getting lost in dog stuff... as per usual.

After Trump’s executive order laying off federal employees last week, Haskell Indian Nations University lost almost a third of its staff, leaving students without teachers.

[Rebecca Nagle @rebeccanagle]

(1/4) Recent layoffs of federal workers has a disproportionate impact on Native Americans, but is receiving almost no media attention. In Indian Health Services, which provides healthcare to 2.8 mil NAs, 2,200 people were laid off, including 1,400 who provide direct patient care.

Hot tips for radio editors: I'm a radio reporter. Please stop editing out all my audio engineering notes, my formatted tape cuts and for the love of PETE, stop creating a new file of the script with every edit. Google Drive is already unnavigable. Thx for coming to my ted talk.

[Emily Schwing @EmilySchwing]

We have no meaningful SAR operations in the American #Arctic. We don't have an active icebreaker in the region. There's no major law enforcement presence, we haven't ratified UNCLOS. The list is long for why it's unreasonable to think we'd be able to take this on.
