A local filmmaker is debuting his passion project Girl, Yeti and a Spaceship next month. Anton Doiron, the mind behind the movie, sat down with some of the actors in the film to talk about how the project came together.  Girl, Yeti and a Spaceship premieres Nov. 21 and 22 at the Gold Town Theater.

A late fall flyby in Granite Creek Basin, Juneau, Alaska. Icy trail but minimal brush made hiking easy. The last of the fall colors before snow blankets this area until spring.

I just got my first @pulsepoint.bsky.social CPR needed alert on my phone. It alarmed just as sirens started arriving from a fire station that's thankfully just around the corner. So no need for me to respond this time, but most places it would have been a many minute difference. www.pulsepoint.org

Grateful that I can visit the city library & fuel up for free! Juneau is a great city to own an EV.

At the Antimatter Factory at CERN there are vacuum cleaners in cages. Those cages are there because when you vacuum the experiment hall, you might pick up some radioactive material, and so the vacuum has to be in a time out until enough half-lives of the contaminant have elapsed.

Here's a good thing to know: If you are turning 18 on Oct. 6, you’re eligible to vote in the municipal election, but you need to register by Sept. 6.

Scientists who study glacier hazards in Alaska said that glacier collapses have happened here, but they’ve looked a bit different.

I just got classroom newsletters from both of the kids’ teachers. It’s Sunday evening 😭 We don’t pay teachers enough.
