Wildfire Preparedness Day 2024

(Alt text included within image.)

May 4th is not just Star Wars day, it's also Wildfire Preparedness day! So what better time to finally share my new preparedness poster?

One thing I hear a lot when discussing wildfire preparedness is that people want to protect their most treasured items, so they have them pre-packed to make them easy to grab in the event of an emergency. I've always found this kind of sad. Understandable! But sad. You shouldn't have to hide away the things you love.

Which is where the concept of a preparedness shelf comes in. The idea here is to keep all your evacuation based stuff AND your "save first" items in one spot where they can be displayed instead of hidden away, but still easily grabbed and evacuated.

This has several advantages. For one, you don't have to hide away the things you love but they will still be easy to access in one central spot. For two, if you are not home at the time of evacuation and someone else is (maybe a partner, or your neighbor, or an older child) and they call you and ask what you want them to grab, you do not have to direct them all over your house, just to one central location.

As always, use your best judgement about the hazards in your area and what works for you.

If you are in the U.S.A. and experiencing disaster related anxiety, call the Disaster Distress Hotline at 1-800-985-5990 for support and resources.

If you would like a print of this poster, you can get the high quality digital file on my website for $3, and discounted rates are available if you would like to purchase the right to make more prints! You can get files of the evacuation prep poster the same way!

I love how Warframe treats some of the wildest elements of its premise as completely unremarkable. A lesser game would never shut the fuck up about how badass it is that you're a space ninja. Warframe is like "yeah yeah yeah we know you're a space ninja, what's important right now is restoring the local wetlands."

Warframe is fundamentally a game about ecological conservation in which you happen to play a biomechanical space killerfreak.

Child of a brutal debt colony whose brain is legally owned by a hypercapitalist cult: "Do you wanna go ride hoverboards with us?"

Member of an ancient mercenary culture, wearing the cloned skin of a legendary historical warrior held together by psychic generational trauma: "Hell yes I do."

Like 30% of the major story beats were caused by a Category 5 Old Man Yaoi Event.

thinking about harvey stardew valley and being a rural country doctor with a caseload like:

  • guy who won’t accept any diagnosis except “you have consumption and need to go to the seaside for your health”
  • woman who asks what gemstone he would prescribe for her UTI
  • guy who spends half the day trying to give himself a concussion and the other half trying to blow out his hearing on his guitar
  • two people who have struggled with alcoholism for years but reject all of his resources for it UNTIL someone gifts them alcohol biweekly for a year straight and suddenly their lives turn around
  • guy who will not stop mailing people bombs but in a friendly way and like this just isn’t on the PTSD screener??
  • guy who won’t stop asking him vague but increasingly bizarre questions about the safety of truffle oil
  • woman who EATS ROCKS

and also there’s a fucking wizard. what’s up with that. how often do you think the man goes “why did i get an MD why didn’t i just train to be a wizard i didn’t even know that was an option” while performing emergency surgery on this one farmer who won’t stop picking fights with ACTUAL MONSTERS

"mithrun is the only real monsterfucker in dungeon meshi" is objectively the funniest bit you can get out of his everything, but in all seriousness i think his attraction to his love interest is deliberately overstated—and that makes sense, because romantic jealousy is a classic and digestible motive, which is explicitly what kabru was aiming for in condensing mithrun's backstory, and also because until chapter 94, mithrun wasn't willing to admit to the true nature of his desires.

This is the best analysis I've seen anybody write out for Mithrun and his story so far, and I'm so glad you've put it into words.

I'd say more but I'd basically just be repeating everything you already said and going "Yep, yep, absolutely, you're so right!" lmao

Read this post if you haven't already!
