on the "upside," all the smoke is simulating overcast, so it might not be as hot today as it was predicted to be.
on the other hand... literal ash falling from the sky. in Seattle. o________o
wondering why the air is yellow and grainy in Seattle today? here's a handy map! http://www.dnr.wa.gov/Wildfires (you have to scroll down the page a bit for the map)
hey Portland people, how are you doing?? the Oregon fires look even worse currently. D:
my first computer was a Merlin. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merlin_(game) and I loved that thing to death, omg. I played with it SO MUCH.
Umm for those who don't know, Gab.ai is a centralized social network specifically for hate speech, made by the alt-right.
My favourite thing about the #SpaceRace is that the urgency forced the US to make a state space program to keep up with the USSR. They had to keep the program fully state-controlled in order to prove that Capitalism is the best. I hope the irony wasn't lost on them.
*dental emergency* hey pals, my tooth is getting worse (literally broke even more today and I'm in pain). I'm close to finishing my YouCaring but I still need help if anyone is willing to boost and/or donate :) I'm gonna try and schedule my dentist appointment tomorrow with what I have so far. Thank you all for your help!

antifascist action, Facebook, me being annoying, shit that's already been said

One thing I've learned by going out and interacting with the "unwashed masses" (at least "millenials"):
* Very few people have heard of 4chan; the few who have, think it's full of people rejected by society for being assholes
* I find surprisingly few Twitter users, and they all say they don't use it because it's full of bullying, harassment, and Nazis
* Everyone seems to hate facebook these days because it's full of assholes
* Society hasn't gone "soft," the assholes have gone "hard"
I put the suitcase on the bed and opened it up and instantly there was a Nar in it, purring as hard as he could. despite the fact that I have dreamed about taking Nar with me on trips multiple times, he is *not* coming with me dammit.
