I made spanakopita for the first and last time tonight. It was delicious but as it turns out I simply hate the sensory experience of eating crispy phyllo dough.

it wasn't just "those states" in the south. it was states in the midwest, in the north, in the west... every single swing state. your precious Louisiana included. you are only deepening the polarization in this country with this kind of rhetoric. we have to be able to have conversations to fix this.

PS: most of Appalachia is under a Red Flag Warning today because it's dry as fuck, humidity is at 20 (very low), and wind gusts are high. This means don't burn shit. Don't start a campfire. Don't shoot fireworks. Don't flick your cig to the ground. don't listen to me, listen to this muscular bear.

if you live in the south/east coast and think wildfires are a west coast issue or something we don't need to worry about here, I need you to familiarize yourself with the ArcGIS US Wildfire Map. this is why we must demand funding our Forest Service, NOAA, etc. www.arcgis.com/apps/mapview...

My fellow Americans, we done fucked up. I’m not talking about who we entrusted with the keys to democracy — that bird is cooked.
We fucked up when we replaced our third places with social media.
I think we can fix it. ⬇️ #resistance
