During my #visitsitka trip in 2003, I was fascinated by the #alaskaraptorcenter and how the specialists are able to rehabilitate predatory birds. For my next #Sitka trip, I want to see #fortressofthebear and how they provide homes for orphaned bears.

The fallen giant sequoias won’t be cut up or removed. Trails will be rerouted around them.

While reporting for @TeenVogue on the blockades at #FairyCreek I asked why media access was being restricted and was told by an officer to be silent or I’m “gone.” #PressFreedom @caj @NPAC_APPC @pressfreedom

Such a cool idea to clean the rivers of plastics before they can pollute the ocean. There are three other Interceptors already working on this problem. #ocean #oceancleanup #plastic #river #riverpollution @TheOceanCleanup @BoyanSlat

We need not just 180 degree turn, but full acceleration ahead...to make up for all the horrific counter-policy and lost time. #ClimateAction

Wow… just watched South Dakota nurse @JodiDoering on CNN describe her dying patients denying the existence of COVID… claiming they’re sick with the flu, pneumonia or lung cancer but not COVID cuz it isn’t real. Thank you Jodi and all frontline nurses… you are true heroes!! ♥️
A South Dakota ER nurse @JodiDoering says her Covid-19 patients often “don’t want to believe that Covid is real.” “Their last dying words are, ‘This can’t be happening. It’s not real.’ And when they should be... Facetiming their families, they’re filled with anger and hatred.”

Alaskans must insist on a real EIS that informs us of our risks from the mine.
