Miller and Cayla Mihalovich<br>July 29, 2025 10:05 AM PT</p><p>"Small NPR and PBS stations in California are teetering after Congress pulled funding from <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PublicBroadcasting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PublicBroadcasting</span></a>. Even big stations are bracing for cuts.</p><p>"Dozens of California public broadcasting stations will lose millions of dollars after Republicans in Congress voted to strip them of federal funding, cutting off a vital lifeline in rural communities and limiting access to local news programming in an era of hyperpartisan national media.</p><p>"While California broadcasters are assuring audiences that they plan to keep their signals running, they also warn that cost-saving changes are inevitable.</p><p>"Radio and television stations of all sizes across the Golden State say that to survive, they’ll likely be forced to lay off staff and cut programming unless they’re able to make up the losses through fundraising. Their leaders warn that the cuts will disproportionately harm locally produced programs, the most expensive to create but among their most popular content, that inform millions of listeners and viewers.</p><p>"Republicans have long wanted to cut funding for public broadcasting, arguing such services should be funded by private donors, not taxpayers. Their efforts prevailed when Congress last week finalized President Trump’s request to rescind $1.1 billion from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which provides grants to National Public Radio, the Public Broadcasting Service, their affiliates and other independent public media creators. All nine of California’s <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Republican" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Republican</span></a> members of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Congress" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Congress</span></a> voted in favor of the funding cuts.</p><p>"Now, roughly 35 stations from <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SanDiego" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SanDiego</span></a> to <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Hoopa" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Hoopa</span></a> in <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/HumboldtCounty" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>HumboldtCounty</span></a> have lost critical funding.</p><p>"While many public broadcasters remain hopeful that they’ll find ways to endure, all agree the rescission undermines the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/egalitarian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>egalitarian</span></a> mission of public media — to create a nationwide network that provides access to quality information, stories and music for local <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/communities" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>communities</span></a>.</p><p>" 'That has been our superpower,' said Joe Moore, president and general manager of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/KVPR" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>KVPR</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ValleyPublicRadio" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ValleyPublicRadio</span></a> in <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Fresno" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Fresno</span></a>.

In Eureka, the community-owned PBS affiliate <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/KEET" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>KEET</span></a>-TV stands to lose $847,000 — nearly half of its operating budget — due to the defunding of CPB. To survive, all of its funding will need to come from <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CommunitySupport" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CommunitySupport</span></a>, since the station has no institutional backer such as a local college or school district.</p><p>"David Gordon, KEET’s general manager and executive director, says that as much as he hopes the station will stay afloat even at reduced capacity, he won’t make the same bold proclamation that, 'We’re not going anywhere,' like some stations have.</p><p>" 'I can’t guarantee that KEET will be here once the dust settles from this defunding move,' Gordon said. He emphasized that he was speaking for himself and not on behalf of his station.</p><p>" 'I hope it is, and I think there’s a good chance that it’ll survive in some form. But absolutely will it? I don’t know if I can say that.'</p><p>"Nearby, Mendocino-based NPR member station <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/KZYX" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>KZYX</span></a> was forced to lay off its news director after losing 25% of its operating budget, or $174,000, from the CPB. That means news will include fewer in-depth stories, such as interviews with city council members or county supervisors, said Andre de Channes, KZYX’s general manager and director of operations.</p><p>" 'There isn’t the time to source out those kinds of things,' he said. 'So the news gets more like a headline news.'</p><p>"The station serves roughly 130,000 listeners, including in Mendocino County and part of Lake County. When De Channes first learned about the CPB cuts, he immediately worried about fire safety, since listeners who live in <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/OffTheGrid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>OffTheGrid</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/RuralAreas" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>RuralAreas</span></a> without access to internet or cell service rely on KZYX for <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/EmergencyInformation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>EmergencyInformation</span></a>.<br> <br>"Those potentially lifesaving <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/EmergencyAlerts" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>EmergencyAlerts</span></a> became a rallying cry for public media providers and their allies as they begged Congress to preserve funding for their stations, especially those in remote, rural areas that also tend to be Republican. Frank Lanzone, the longtime general manager of the NPR-affiliated KCBX in San Luis Obispo, said his station has sometimes been the only on-air source providing emergency information during <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SevereWeather" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SevereWeather</span></a> events.</p><p>" 'There’s been several times in very bad storms when we’re the only station on the air in our area because of either power outages or people’s generators ran out of propane,' said Lanzone, who has worked in public radio for more than 50 years.<br>KCBX, which serves about 45,000 listeners from Santa Barbara to Monterey, will lose $240,000 in funding from CPB, about 13% of its operating budget.</p><p>" 'It’s going to hurt the stations and the people that listen to them who need it the most,' Lanzone said. 'The most vulnerable, the ones out in the middle of nowhere.'</p><p>"Local programs are most at risk<br>Both radio and television station leaders emphasized that local programming — shows that are created and produced in-house rather than purchased from another producer — will be first on the chopping block. To produce locally focused public television programming, stations must invest additional time, money and work on top of the membership dues they pay to be affiliated with PBS, which unlocks a large catalogue of programming that they can air at no additional cost.</p><p>"For PBS viewers in the Inland Empire, that likely means the loss of popular local programs such as '<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/InlandEdition" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>InlandEdition</span></a>,' an Emmy-winning weekly half-hour public affairs show, and '<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LearnWithMe" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LearnWithMe</span></a>,' an award-winning <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/bilingual" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>bilingual</span></a> English-Spanish children’s show, both of which are produced in house by affiliate KVCR. </p><p>" 'The local stuff that’s so important to people is probably the stuff that’ll go away,' said Connie Leyva, executive director of KVCR and a former Democratic state senator. The station stands to lose about $550,000 in annual CPB funding, about 6% of its budget.<br>She emphasized that the station also wanted to preserve its journalism staff — two full-time reporters and one part-time — who have recently focused on federal <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ImmigrationRaids" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ImmigrationRaids</span></a> taking place across the region. </p><p>" 'If we’re not here, the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/InlandEmpire" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>InlandEmpire</span></a> is just hearing about what’s happening in Los Angeles,' Leyva said. 'We want to know what’s happening in our backyard, what’s happening at the schools around us, what’s happening at the Home Depots around us.'

Coreyartus Imagery<p>I’m vending at the Arcata Fairy Festival for the first time tomorrow. It’ll be a totally different demographic than I’ve experienced thus far, with lots of kids in tutus and tiaras. </p><p>I’m pretty excited—I’m two booths down from the homemade mead booth. And the organizer already purchased two of my prints and says my birds will do well. </p><p>I’ve never experienced anything like this festival before, and the music they’ve got scheduled sounds amazing! Lots of photo ops, luxurious booths, dancing, and elf ears! </p><p>I made this limited edition, signed and numbered print run of 15 greeting cards specifically for the event using the Osprey image I made last week. I hope it’ll appeal to some folks there! When they’re gone, they’re gone!</p><p>Wish me luck! It’ll be the longest event I’ve done thus far, clocking in at 7 hours. I hope I have enough stock!

Coreyartus Imagery<p>Tonight I do another Friday Night Markets event here in Eureka as a stationery purveyor. </p><p>The novelty has not worn off, and I’m excited to once again share my stuff. If I don’t think of it as a “sales” event and more of a “meet and greet” event, it’s a delight! Compartmentalizing the pressure to sell stuff is really tough, but I’m getting better at crushing it down into a little golf ball deep into my subconscious. It helps my hubby is there to support me, and we have a great time!</p><p>I’m taking a bunch of new locally-themed stuff with me tonight, and hoping it’ll go well! But regardless, it will be fun. And I’m learning I have to actively put myself in situations where I’m not online and dwelling on horrors. I have to be purposeful about it. And this is one of those methods I’m using to make myself let go and just be in the moment. </p><p>I dunno if anyone from Humboldt County, California, is actually here on Mastodon and even goes to this event. But if you do, I’ll give you a 10% discount at my booth if you mention Mastodon.

Coreyartus Imagery<p>I’ve started using my style to make locally-inspired pieces that I’m going to try to sell here in my new home region. I’m pretty excited to be leaning into these—it’s one thing to make work based on a story, and another thing to make pieces referencing the visual flavor of a location… This is out side the box for me, and I’m enjoying it!</p><p><a href="https://goimagine.com/a-humboldt-feeling-single-illustrated-greeting-card-5x7-with-envelope/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">goimagine.com/a-humboldt-feeli</span><span class="invisible">ng-single-illustrated-greeting-card-5x7-with-envelope/</span></a></p><p>All my stuff is <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/HumanMade" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>HumanMade</span></a> I paint, print, and package it all myself.

Coreyartus Imagery<p>Going to a HumboldtMade mixer tonight, meeting other makers here in the region. Mostly food-makers (good good food!), from pierogis to hot sauces to ciders to chocolate… It’s amazing what’s local here behind the <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/RedwoodCurtain" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>RedwoodCurtain</span></a>!</p><p>I met another artist who is doing that I want to be doing at last month’s gathering, and just the chance to hobnob was great.

Coreyartus Imagery<p>I turned in three pieces to a local art association's gallery for an upcoming Artist’s Choice non-juried show coming up next week. It’ll be part of a big event called “North Coast Open Studios” that happens here once a year.</p><p>I didn’t get settled in time to participate on my own, but turning these pieces in today makes me feel like I’m still part of it.</p><p>The artists I met there volunteering for check-in were delightfully friendly and welcoming, and I am so looking forward to getting engaged even more. They are regularly looking for docent volunteers every week, so I will be doing that soon.</p><p>I can’t wait to see the show when it’s all up!

Coreyartus Imagery<p>Met a local digital artist living here in Humboldt County for a bagel this morning. He’s not on Mastodon, but his website is here:</p><p><a href="https://tedhsuart.com/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">tedhsuart.com/</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p>It was so invigorating, validating, human, and inspiring to meet someone in my field who was able to offer me advice about moving here and finding my footing. He was a consummate professional, kind, friendly, and deeply earnest about sharing his experiences.</p><p>I learned SO much. And I left feeling more optimistic than I have in months. </p><p>It was good getting out, meeting someone in person not just online. It restored a bit of my mental health.

Coreyartus Imagery<p>Went on a nice walk in my city park today, among giant Sequoia trees and cool shade.</p><p>It was so restorative to be among the green.

HumDem<p>Did you see our Avelo Protest Team's overpass action on Wednesday 5/14? Every bit of awareness about this important issue matters. <br>Avelo Airlines is one of the few airlines that flies out of the Arcata Airport. Avelo signed a contract with ICE and began ICE charter operations on May 12 with a flight from its base in Mesa, Arizona, to Louisiana, where the department operates several prisons for detainees. While the airline says it does not make ICE flights from California and has no plans to do so, that hasn't stopped folks across the country from supporting a nationwide boycott to pressure the airline to reverse course.<br>If you want to learn more and be involved with the national fight to stop Avelo Airlines you can learn more here: <a href="https://www.stopavelo.org" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="">stopavelo.org</span><span class="invisible"></span></a><br>If you want to participate locally, consider joining Humboldt Democracy Connections and becoming a member of the Avelo Protest Team! <br>Thank you Avelo Airlines Protest Team! <a href="https://norcal.social/tags/boycottavelo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>boycottavelo</span></a> <a href="https://norcal.social/tags/aveloairlines" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>aveloairlines</span></a> <a href="https://norcal.social/tags/democracynow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>democracynow</span></a> <a href="https://norcal.social/tags/humboldtcounty" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>humboldtcounty</span></a> <a href="https://norcal.social/tags/resist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>resist</span></a> <a href="https://norcal.social/tags/fightfascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>fightfascism</span></a></p>

Also decided 38 was the right time to try 🍄s for the first time - couldn’t have picked a better atmosphere and had an incredible, blissed out experience (the things I saw in the wallpaper…) . another notch in the never ending journey to understand myself and this existence around me, and i feel like the universe owed me that one lol. it was a great way to start a new year ✨ <br>
<br>
Anyhoo…Here’s a bunch of pics! Sorry for so many, everything was just so lovely<br>
