Posts here and on Reddit are tying the older of the two Fairbanks Nazis to a local plumbing outfit. Apparently it’s on Facebook as well. I contacted the company. He hasn’t worked there since 2024. If you see this claim, let people know it’s untrue.

@marypeltola.com you are on the list of dems to skip over, FYI. Are you gonna come out and tell trans voters and their families that your 2024 NDAA vote and the anti-trans ad from a few weeks ago were wrong? Or something to show that you care about this group? Anything? Hello?

Erin Reed@erininthemorning.com

The elections are on next Tuesday, and so much is at stake, including the soul of the Democratic Party when it comes to transgender people. I am asking you to leave a very small number of races blank in which a Democrat has embraced extreme anti-trans hate. I make my case here.

Attention Alaska: Donald Trump is abusing the judicial system in an attempt to personally appoint your next United States Senator. Don't let him.

It's Sunday. If you are a church goer- My family has a lot of religious trauma, but we are getting over ourselves to go and give a talk at a church to help protect children who were sexually abused. We are trying to build a kit so we can do this traveling the country to get the service dogs

Hey fellow scientists, someone recently talked to me about their "scientific arch nemesis"...I was kind of shocked that this was a thing. I know that there are really bad actors out there, but do people consider themselves as having scientific arch nemeses? Genuinely curious if this is a thing 🧪⚒️

This group is trying to do really important work helping kids heal. They are trying to get off the ground & need donors. Please share widely & support them. They have wishlists for items they need, & a fundraising event on Nov 7.

#FieldPhotoFriday #EarthquakeHistory #Caltech This week, station CI.RVR in Riverside marks 100 years of continuously cataloged seismic data! Its story starts back at the beginning of the Seismological Laboratory itself.

👎 Bernadette Wilson has a long, fanatical record of pushing extreme anti-abortion policies. From her efforts to restrict abortion access for young people to her attempts to criminalize doctors providing lifesaving care, Wilson has made it clear that her priority is rolling back Alaskans’ rights.

As we enter the season of spooky, this is a first: Alaska made the list of top 10 "most cursed" states for natural disasters. 👻 Um...thanks? At least the Earthquake Center got a shout-out for earthquake monitoring! buff.ly/fglhYpJ

Big news 🥳✨ A church congregation has invited me to teach for them for LUSID!!! I will teach on my research, the problem, and how we can fix it! 🏕️✨ Sapling and Mister are going to speak too. I am so proud of Sapling for asking me if they could tell people their story to help. They are 10 💪🏼🪶✨

As a service to those researching and responding to the recent #Panama #earthquake sequence, we have created a short collection of papers from the SSA journals related to the region, in case these may be of use in your work. The papers will be freely available until 30 October. ⚒️ buff.ly/eaLHV24

Seismic instruments can tell us about more than earthquakes. Belgian researchers Koen Van Noten and Philippe Roux visited the Earthquake Center before heading to Eight Mile Lake, near Denali National Park to deploy about 100 seismic nodes to study permafrost. Listen to the story buff.ly/XWmpr9K

Even if you can't attend our Gives-Giving fundraiser dinner, you can still help out by making sure we have the supplies we need! Some of it needs to be new, but some of it can be used, reach out to lusidresidencies@gmail.com to ask if items you own similar to the list can be useful!

If you would like to go, but cannot, would you consider sponsoring a seat for a gay tribal Elder? And possibly an honorarium? He would like to help and would be incredibly valuable to our cause, but it will take resources to get him here.

This is Nyx. She was found at a construction site, severely emaciated with a fractured knee. She needs surgery for her broken leg, along with close monitoring and a carefully managed feeding plan to safely gain weight. You can help her below ❤️‍🩹 1510.fan/nyx-bs15

Hey #alaskatwitter let's get the word out about some misconduct on the Anchorage Assembly! Hey so you may remember Assemblyman Donald Handeland of Eagle River, who spent the summer trying to drag his colleague George Martinez for small-ball APOC violations and cavalier use of allocated public funds

Practice makes perfect! The students at Fremont High school have been well trained with regular drills to help them remain safe at school, and they can take those lessons home to their family! Great job everyone, and thank you having such an important event! #ShakeOut #CalOES #ShakeAlert #prepare

Grad student extraordinaire Cade Quigley has been experimenting with graphics to show features of recent earthquakes and how/what we detect. What do you think of these options, from this morning's Interior shaker? Let us know in the comments what you like or dislike, understand or are confused by.

We were in the middle of a tour during the Great Alaska ShakeOut this morning. A shoutout to these students, who did a great job practicing Drop Cover Hold! Did you participate in the ShakeOut today?
