Anyone else experience major pre-trip anxiety in the form of tummy aches for a straight week?

They are living in an alternate reality, the mirror world and it feels so defeating.

Federal election, you are officially my last hope.

Went to get ready for bed, and instead of taking my allergy meds, I took my Vyvanse πŸ€¦πŸ»β€β™€οΈ

Any other Canadians having nightmares of Tesla's? Like from the scene in Leave the World Behind.

This looks vague as hell

I'm trying not to let autistic burnout ruin my life this time. Luckily part of the remedies is spending more time with my special interests, which happens to be a lot of my job. But I have no energy for anything else. Everything is painful. I hate leaving my house.

Yes, EM should be led primarily at the local level in terms of response, but with RESOURCES. You can't just cut off top-down support without addressing the gaps in local resources, training, and expertise. The takes I see on this issue, miss the mark... πŸ€¦πŸ»β€β™€οΈ

California, Oregon, and Washington should join Canada πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦

Can you pretend that I’m a dragon that hordes cool facts and you must give me facts to keep me from eating all your sheep.

My Twitter has been deleted since the musk takeover. Amazon Prime and video canceled, deleted. Facebook, Instagram and threads on the chopping block this week after my data is downloaded and saved. Just signed up for Pixelfed. I'm undecided on TikTok. .

Dear anyone working in science, health, emergency management, climate and weather, economics, social sciences etc. in the U.S. government. Save your data, save your resources, save your research.

Anyone else downloading everything they can from the FEMA site such as resources. Archive everything.

"Ambushed" by a plea for mercy is a real language choice.

Sure is a bad time to be a person who cares about things.

Any Canadians feeling doomy gloomy today? Uncomfortable? Mortified? A fascist autocratic regime rising just 19km away from my home, it's not just another country, it's our neighbour, a stone throw away. Thinking of our fellow humans who never asked for this, and those that did, FAFO

Who hasn’t been innocently hanging out at the inauguration of a man dubbed by people in his own party as the next Hitler and accidentally performed a Nazi salute that could only be more blatant if it was accompanied by a tiny finger moustache? thedailytism.com/the-autistic...

I'd like to eradicate the terminology "natural disasters" from the English language

Canada is stressed right now

Friends, the Ontario Government is already threatening MCCSS-funded agencies with the implications of Bill 238, the Emergency Management Modernization Act. We've published the core info and some commentary! 1/3

I am the epitome of a spiky profile. I made homeownership happen because I have been hyperfixated on this idea the last 18 months. Sometimes my brain disables me, sometimes it helps me do very adulty things.

So let me get this straight..Canada Post reports $748 million in losses, but Canada Post owns 91% of Purolator, who had $2.7 billion in revenue last year, and they can't afford union demands? It was a Canada Post strike that led to us getting parental leave in in 1981. πŸ’Œ Support Postal workers πŸ’—

Today's the day. Job interview for a permanent position (currently on contract) which would bring me so much security and stability, and I close on my house today and get my keys. I'm ready ❀️

I have an electric car, but I don't think electric cars should be the primary solution to reduce transportation emissions. It should be high-speed rail and mass transit. βš‘πŸš„

Neurodivergent emergency management professionals, where you at? I know there are a ton of you out there πŸ‘€ I'd like to connect πŸŒ‹πŸŒͺ️πŸ”₯🌊

The character limit on here are holding me back as someone with ADHD

To think I did my masters thesis on Twitter posts and sharing of information during flooding events is wild to me now. Twitter is dead in the water. I remember feeling saddened by that loss of that vital communication, warnings, and community engagement. But now I have hope again.

I hope this place gives me hope for having a real online social community that isn't compromised by super villains, corporations, and influencers.

Feels lighter here already 🌌 πŸ¦‹

I had my first sale on Etsy πŸ₯²πŸŒ‹

I guess I should introduce myself and what I like.🌈 β€’You can call me Ash, like Ash from a Volcano, because I love volcanoes πŸŒ‹ β€’I also really really love Dinosaurs πŸ¦– β€’I LARP, but like the cool kind of LARP, 🏹 that has combat β€’I work in emergency management 🌊πŸ”₯πŸŒͺ️ β€’Diagnosed Autistic and ADHD πŸΏοΈβ™ΎοΈ

So my first day here, this place is pretty rad. πŸ˜… Trying to find my fellow weirdos πŸ¦–
