We're still under a boil water notice and I have no idea what that means when it comes to showering or doing dishes??? Not sure the idea of bathing or washing in water that has a boil notice sounds good to me. 👀 I'm kinda grossed out by the whole thing, tbh.

Many disabled & chronically ill people are feeling left behind by those who've left Twitter. Concerns range from not having enough spoons to make transition, not knowing where to go and fears they won't be able to find their people once they get there.
How can we ensure no one gets left behind?

A little fresher this morning but showers in Northern areas will extend across the country through the day before heavy rain moves in tomorrow with much colder air following behind and parts of Northwest could see sleet and snow for a time Monday night.
