How Scientists Tracked Down a Mass Killer of Salmon youtu.be/Hyg9T8HLi2k via @YouTube #salmon #pollution #fishkill #WashintonState
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.

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

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!! ♥️
