NEW: There’s a disaster unfolding in Alaska right now. And no major network is covering it.

The remnants of Typhoon Halong battered western Alaska overnight. Homes, with people in them, have literally been swept into the Bering Strait.

At least 20 are missing. No comment from any federal agency.

I may have a fever so forgive me when I say that everything in the universe makes sense when you realize that the way Yoongi reacts to Jimin is the way Jungkook reacts to his own cooking

Western Alaska was hit hard by the recent storms. Houses floated away in Kipnuk, houses flipped over, people lost everything from the flooding that came with the storms. Please donate if you can. This group has a long history of supporting AK communities.

Because I still find people who don't know how the story ends:

Christopher Columbus was returned to Spain in chains in 1500 AD, convicted of barbaric torture of colonists, but released 6 weeks later by order of King Ferdinand II.

Neither he nor his brothers ever governed a Spanish holding again.

Christopher Columbus awaits sentencing in jail.

Having just finished Han Kang's We Do Not Part, I don't have the words to express the experience other than to say this is an instance where I'd suggest reading all her other works first.

And I can recommend @radzpandit.bsky.social's review: readersretreat2017.wordpress.com/2025/09/07/w...

We Do Not Part – Han Kang (tr. E. Yaewon & Paige Aniyah Morris)

Han Kang is one of my favourite authors – loved both The Vegetarian and The White Book – but inexplicably I did not read anything by her since then. She came into my orbit once again after being aw…

You don't have to judge Columbus by the standards of today. His tenure as governor of Hispaniola was so horrific that he was dragged back to Spain in chains to answer for his many crimes.

Plus he never set foot on any land that would ever be a part of the United States of America.

Spooky season approaches, so I'm going to repost some of my Halloween comics from years past.

A four panel comic called Happy Halloween From The Birds. In panel 1, a pileated woodpecker has pecked its huge gaping rectangular holes in a pumpkin. In panel 2, a yellow-bellied sapsucker has pecked a face using its standard rows of small holes. In panel 3, a satin bowerbird has carved a pumpkin into a bower and placed its favorite blue candies all around it. In panel 4, a loggerhead shrike has impaled mini pumpkins on a fence's metal spikes and is saying "fight me."

North Korea has a law to try and keep English loan words from being used. Meanwhile, South Korea is leading a cultural explosion that is now forcing Korean loan words into the English language.

From ‘kimbap’ to ‘maknae,’ Oxford English Dictionary sees explosion of Korean loanwords

The lion’s share of terms of Korean origin have been added within the last four years, with a total of 48 Korean loanwords now listed in the OED

I would name her Cassandra because she would warn me when Bad Shit was about to happen, but I may or may not listen because I am a stubborn mf

The cost for the dog alone is $4K, service training can be a whole lot more than that

ok confession time

I’ve been in the ICU for most of the last week & I’m struggling so so so hard

the doctor has suggested I
get a dog to help me, but I cannot afford the cost of a hypoallergenic dog, let alone the cost of a service dog

do we think this is even worth the attempt to fundraise? y/n
