Our air quality just hit “Hazardous” level
⚠️ “If you feel those symptoms, it’s "time to just hide,” Smiley said.“ Dr Jeremy Smiley for NBC Chicago, ladies and gentlemen.
half of northern Canada engulfed in wildfires, some of which are still uncontained!! feels like a great time to mention that the indigenous people of Canada took care of the land and prevented fires for millennia before us whites showed up and colonization and capatalism are the main factors is why Canada's northern forests burn out of control every year!! we live on stolen land! land back is the only solution!! return Canada to its rightful people!!

Map comparing the estimated # of days with “Unhealthy” air quality in 2012-2021 vs a decade earlier, 2002-2011 The # of days with unhealthy air quality declined in most metro areas (green/blue), but increased (orange/red) in the northwestern US due to growing smoke from wildfires

⚠️ fire.airnow.gov having technical difficulties… meanwhile:
There are hundreds of good reasons to mask up beyond covid. Why not protect yourself from multiple threats? Why choose not to adapt to change we've known is coming? Clean air is a necessity for happy human life. We have to fight to keep our air healthy to breathe.

ALT- Reefer trailers being used for dead bodies storage in NYC near the start of SARS-Cov2, and the SE Asian wrapped up in clingfilm (NatGeo photo from Indo). I have it here somewhere.
- Idk that something really-real like a malodorous, smoky haze will persuade anyone who’s strongly against masking. But it might?
welcome to the climate crisis.

There are wildfire icons covering the Western half of the United States, including a large portion of Alaska. There are also several wildfires near the US-Canadian border and on the Southeastern US coast.
The densest smoke is in Northwest Canada, Northern Canada, Southeastern Canada, and Northeastern US. /End ID]
- Good morning. It’s here.
