Americans not giving a shit about the wildfires burning down forests and homes in Canada until smoke starts spreading across the border. Meanwhile Indigenous communities across the country are far more likely to be impacted by the fires and I’ve seen all of one link to a charity and about nine million memes. 🙃

The charity is based in Ottawa and accepts in-person donations as well:

It’s the beginning of fire season, so I’m going to share this memory and some advice I learned the hard way.

In fall 2020 the wild fires on the west coast were so bad that you could barely see 15 feet at times. Where I lived the aqi hit 590 at one point. We could not evacuate and we had no insulation in our house.

The gas masks saved us. Me and my roommates taped our windows shut and wore respirators in the house for a week. I did this sketch of them while we were watching the muppet movie one night.

Most of you will have experience a fire or smoke storm at some point, this is not going away. Smoke inhalation can have permanent and long term effects.

Get a respirator mask, and get replacement filters for organic and biological material. They can be as cheep as $12, and even if you don’t think you’re at risk, it is not something you want to find out you need afterwards. If you can afford to, get extras. Someone you know might need it.

Also useful at protests, just saying…

Practical tip for those dealing with wildfire smoke now: you can make a very effective air filter for a reasonable amount of money using a box fan & one of those filters meant for your furnace.

Also, I've managed to pick up 2 of the box fans for very cheap/free from yard sales. Make sure you get a filter rated for wildfire smoke, I think this one cost about $20.

These make a huge difference in the indoor air quality.

Posting again because of the fire situation up in Canada and resulting smoke. If you're dealing with wildfire smoke, these are surprisingly effective and relatively cheap.

Just tape the filter to the fan, making sure the air can't sneak around the edges. I used painter's tape, but I'm sure duct tape or similar would work just as well.

a lesbian: actually I thought I was a trans man for a while and it turns out I’m just butch
a trans man: oh same! i thought I was a lesbian and it turns out im a trans man
nonbinary person: ive thought I was both and now i realized i’m neither! isn’t it cool how we can all talk about our shared experiences
people who come into my inbox: how dare you have anything in common. you’re invalidating literally every trans and lesbian person at the same time

if u take zoloft and/or spironolactone be careful in the hot months u will dehydrate and be prone to overheating. drink. Water

Like the bottom text next to the asterisk says, there are more medications that cause this problem than listed. Please search for any medications you take if they cause heat problems <3

Note: Brintellix -> Trintellix for those who didn’t know this brand changed trademark names.

so a lawyer (like, a real professional one) had chatgpt write his legal brief and it made up a bunch of fake citations. and he fact-checked those citations by asking chatgpt if those citations were real. and believed it when it said yes.

Hey just wanted to say thanks for your music. It's so unique and good, I've been listening to it for years since Voxus introduced me to you. Your style is awesome and I can't get enough of it. Maybe you could suggest some other artists I might like if I really like your stuff?

Thanks so much! I actually have started putting together a Spotify mix of songs and artists who have directly inspired me because I get asked this question occasionally! Here it is, I’m always adding to it too. (But I try not to add more than 2-3 songs per artist or else it’d just be all Amanda Palmer lol)

if you don’t have Spotify or don’t want to listen to it, short answer here is: Regina Spektor, Amanda Palmer, Laura Marling, can’t go wrong with those three they are the GOATs. 🐐👍

I can find it if you’ve already answered this but would it be ok if we played your music on twitch streams?
