There are currently 24 wildfires raging around us. Hundreds of thousands of acres burning. The sky is nothing but smoke and an orange dot trying to break through. It looked like snow yesterday but it was ash. I went to get the mail and was covered in ash. I live in a post apocalyptic nightmare right now. One of my students is on level 2 alert for evacuation from their home. The fire jumped the Columbia River yesterday and that's not a small river. We can't breathe. I have the windows open right now just to try and air things out but will be closing them shortly. The news has said the closest one is all because of some kids thought it would be fun to light off fireworks in the woods. Thanks for burning down my world assholes.
I taught. 8:30 - 4. I stayed inside and hid. Had tacos for dinner.
The streets are eerily quiet and have been for a couple of days. No sirens. No cars. Just silence.
And then I have the possibility of flying into a hurricane on Sunday. Then storms the following week in NJ.
And the people in FL are worried about a 'backup plan'. Bitch, if this hurricane hits, your backup plan is to shut the fuck up.
Fuck corporations. Fuck stupid people. Moving to a cave somewhere.
