I have air filters for allergens, so I'm ready to filter smoke

I already mask (N95+) when I leave the house. You really want a mask that takes out chemicals too, so I have two of those in boxes, but an N95 beats nothing, hands down

If we have to leave, I have carriers for the birds. My car title and passport and other essentials + cash are in a fire safe I can grab. My purse is on the way out. I know where my laptop is

I should put spare clothes in the car. And meds in the fire safe, I guess

Hey #wildfire "enthusiasts"/community responders/concerned citizens - how do you prepare for wildfires at your home? Where I live now in France we are getting pummeled with fires at a historic rate, I have not seen any community preparedness efforts like I saw in the #California Show more

it has been ZERO DAYS since I've thought of a way to make a project 10% better simply by spending twice as much time on it

@nprofile1q... when I see you say "zero day" I get nervous

Do I know anyone with a Ford Maverick? Do you like it?

Edited to add: You know how I am. Obviously I'm only looking at the hybrid.

It was *already* unethical to hold in-person conferences. I've been arguing as much since 2014, so it isn't *just* about the ongoing pandemic that permanently damages the immune, circulatory, nervous,...

It's also a bad use of fossil fuels when there's the option to meet online.

We don't need to be flying all over the place to gather, when there's a perfectly good option that takes *significantly* less energy (and much of the energy used for online meetings can come from renewables, unlike jet fuel).

It was *already* unethical to hold in-person conferences. I've been arguing as much since 2014, so it isn't *just* about the ongoing pandemic that permanently damages the immune, circulatory, nervous, and renal systems of the human body, or about the recent increase in measles and TB.

We simply can't all attend, some because of disability, some due to caregiving responsibilities, some (increasingly many) because their institution won't fund travel.

I need the library field to please catch up with and accept reality: in-person conferences in the US can't be a thing anymore. (Or outside the US, if you want Americans there.)

Masked men from three-letter agencies are grabbing whomever they like and throwing them into concentration camps. Ours is not a safe border to cross anymore.
