#juneauak — Public Fediverse posts

Made it to my sister's house in Juneau, Alaska. She feeds the birds.

Also, since we are all in the process of updating bird names, I submit these should be STELLAR Jays, not Steller's Jays. 😁

The Mendenhall Glacier today when we stopped by briefly to recreate a childhood picture for my sister.

It was cold!

Well, normally I like coming back to Juneau for the holidays. It is a temperate rainforest after all. This is like Fairbanks though. Not Juneau-like at all.

@seachanger yes to stationary store. One of the best things in #JuneauAK is @KindredPost #KindredPost I love their local postcard event and sales (10 a year)! #Stationary #LocalArt another is @alaskarobotics comics, games, and goodies for artists!

@wayword Love the show (listen on KTOO FM #JuneauAK ) In episode" holy-toledo" you discussed deadpool, but I didnʼt hear tontine #AgathaChristie and many other fiction writers have used that term. #Words #Deadpool #Tontine

details about State emergency funding...
apply for individual assistance from the state. There is up to $21,250 available for structural damage to a home, and up to $21,250 for personal property as well. The state workers who run the program are in the business of helping—it is absolutely worth it to apply. You don't have to be a homeowner, either: there's rental assistance available, too. (this from state Senator #Jesse Kiehl) #JuneauAK #GlacialFloods #LingítAani
