November 3, 1958, then Vice President Richard Nixon in Juneau, coincidentally next to a poster for the 1957 film The Unknown Terror, which is about a parasitic fungi that threatens to escape from a Cave of the Dead. #alaskahistory #alaska #juneau
As I've recently written about our short hike on the Trail of Time near Juneau on our website, and I know how much we all love our #Mosstodon here, some mossy trees, perhaps not quite thick enough for #ThickTrunkTuesday individually, but taken together...

This is #Alaska, for crying out loud. It's also 40ºF and raining here in #Anchorage
#hotlanta accurate name
Speaking of #springtime it's here early in #Osaka #Japan too 10 to 12C in the sun (50-53F) but every #Japanese you ask will snap back, it gets cold again in February..... but I don't think so this year
Strange, #Anchorage is R and #Juneau is D
But then there are the many #nonvoters NOT COUNTED

Want some of our new stickers? Let us know! We'd love to have them on every #UA campus.
But be secure and suspicious. Contact us directly with a burner email or with SimpleX. Give us a friend's mailing address or one UA doesn't know. Don't use your name. We're on your side, but don't trust blindly.
(Preference for people who can actually distribute them in Alaska.)

@SilverSalmonAK light drizzle here in #Juneau so far we are shovelling now and hoping gutters hold up until the rain makes the snow slide #MyAlaskaWx

We have posted a slightly updated version of our flier "University of Alaska workers, prepare to strike! Let's impose our will on the bosses!"
If you are in #Alaska please print out a copy or two and put them out!
This gets the word out, but just as importantly it helps confuse the bosses about the locations of our militants!
Share it even if you don't agree in full. This is an elementary act of solidarity!
An introduction (please boost!):
Hello, #UniversityofAlaska, #Alaska and #HigherEd!
Hello to our fellow workers in #Anchorage, #Juneau, #Fairbanks, and at UA's extended campuses!
We are you -- current and former workers and students.
Our goal is to unite the ENTIRE UA workforce outside the narrow bounds of the unions.
It's madness for one group to make peace with the bosses. This means abandoning every other group to their miserable fates.
We need to organize as an entire workforce and student body, outside of the control of the straitjacketed unions. This is the only way we can even begin to threaten the bosses!

#Alaska #glacier outburst floods #Juneau, damages more than 100 homes
The glacier flood from the #SuicideBasin swelled the #MendenhallRiver to record levels, causing destructive flooding in Juneau.
By Sheri Walsh, UPI
Published Aug 8, 2024 10:31 AM EDT
Aug. 8 (UPI) -- "A #MeltingGlacier, overflowing from heavy rains in Alaska, unleashed a torrent of water on Juneau where more than 100 homes were damaged in what is being called an 'unprecedented' glacial lake outburst flood.
"The glacier flood from the Suicide Basin swelled the Mendenhall River to record levels, causing destructive flooding in Juneau on Tuesday, nearly one year after the same river flooded on Aug. 7, 2023.
"Glacial lake outbursts occur when a basin fills with water from melting snow, ice and rain -- after Juneau's heavy rainfall in July -- which overtopped the glacier, 'like water overflowing out of a full bathtub,' the city of Juneau explained last week in a warning to residents to prepare for #flooding and evacuations.
"A U.S. Geological Survey camera captured the Suicide Basin glacial lake's gradual rise over the past month and rapid fall pictured Tuesday after the outburst sent water flooding into Juneau below."
