PM2.5 will already have settled enough to justify visiting the needy and collecting groceries that would spoil otherwise at the store. But spending more time than needed outside would be unwise. Garden produce already on the vine is safer at the moment than tap water, to a degree.

My family of choice know how and when to pass for blood relations, but each was a snatch and grab and whether we share blood in our veins does not enter into it.

But I do know many communities are served by food banks that don't require documentation of income or other financial status.

I do not recommend emigrating and approaching people you barely know for instrumental support.

It is unclear to me what the nature of law is in this context, under the present circumstances.

What I don't know is which banking options are safest. Money under the bed is illegal. But the major banks are almost openly involved in money laundering for the drug trade. I am working on getting a credit union account, but unsure if this is currently legal.

I am not aware of any individual Hollywood or Australian film stars being in any way involved in this pattern of behavior, however.

The newscasters dominating cable television appear to be fully participating in this behavior.

What this represents in my understanding is a pattern of recruitment that is atypical for premeditated violent crimes, in which the recruits are serially targeted one against the next, and each is invited on the motive of fear of missing out.

The shape of the pattern of social violence being deployed among the humans in my environment appears to conform to a dynamic that, in criminal investigations, is sometimes described as a daisy chain.

The behavior pattern appears designed to cultivate reactiveness in the pets by creating a sense of threat combined with unpredictability that is non-stop.

At the moment she seems to be using competent self-restraint, but when she first arrived she had been trying very effectively to imitate the quasi-disorganized threat displays of the person she is replacing.

There have been significant recent nearby arrests related to fentanyl in this part of Oregon, and our city is a small one on a major north-south route.

At times I am afraid to open my bedroom door because I am concerned about their vulnerability to an attempt to induce a disorganized reaction on their part.

Neighborhood dogs overheard in the near distance have also sounded unusually distressed by the interactions they're having with their humans in recent days.

I have reason to believe both have been brutally physically assaulted in the past by their primary caregiver, but did not witness direct evidence of this by line of sight, although what I heard of their cries was disturbing.

Both are smallish dogs unlikely to offer any threat of dangerous bodily harm if they could be induced to attack any adult. Both have remained essential gentle any time I have tried to reassure them using touch.

They seemed to have been bullied with the apparent intent to associate my presence in their vicinity with an imminent threat, and have been startling around me predictably for some time now. But right now they sound calm.
