Yeah, shit is really hitting the fan now that it looks like NOLA's electrical infrastructure took a massive hit.

I don't know if it'll even be possible, but I might have to get @anthracite out of there, hole up with her in Ohio for a while, and find someone to feed any remaining cats. (We have at least two strong maybes, which is a relief.)

I suspect I will not be able to fly home on Thursday. If I do, I have no idea how I'll even do my job.

We're definitely gonna need your assistance soon.

@zebratron2084 @anthracite Just spread the word when you decide on how to start gathering funds, y'all. 💙

@LexYeen @anthracite Yup, much appreciated hun. *hug* Right now I suspect what I'll really need between now and Thursday is truly heroic levels of emotional support and practical advice on how the hell to solve the increasingly convoluted logic puzzle of how to inspect and clean up our house, get someone feeding any surviving cats, and either get @anthracite safely to Ohio or both of us somewhere with power so I can keep doing my day job...

@zebratron2084 @anthracite

Bleh that wait to see what a hurricane has taken is never fun. Let us know what you need.

@zebratron2084 @anthracite

I've been holding my breath for you and I'm glad you're both safe. The routine of of waiting out crises has put me in the questionable habit of freezing in place at bad news until it goes away, but maybe I can hope my silence has been as useful as anything I could have said. I will throw some real money at you as soon as I know how.

@Cerulean @anthracite I love ya, hun, so just hearing from you is great and silence is fine if that's what you got. <3

@zebratron2084 @anthracite

*Hugs you as well as she's able* None of this is fair, and I'm so sorry you're going through it.

You just say the word, and we'll do all that we're able to.
