This family has been absolutely hammered relentlessly by local school officials and the DeSantis administration for supporting their trans daughter. Please, please, give if you can, and share widely. www.gofundme.com/f/support-je...

We're four days into the most significant natural disaster in the recorded history of our region. Our community is experiencing an ongoing crisis created by infrastructural collapse and the profound failure of capitalism to value and sustain life. 1/?

A photo of Firestorm Books' front door. Cardboard signs taped to the glass read: "Info & Resource Sharing, Daily 12-4. Please do not leave donations outside of this time frame. Community meetings @ 2pm around back in parking lot area. Community Board: Share info, requests, resources, etc." Inside the building piles of supplies are visible.

If you're able to donate, North Carolina needs your help. One of the organizations on this list, Homeward Bound, is near to my heart. I used to volunteer there. It's a day shelter for the unhoused. And Buncombe County's homeless population just grew exponentially.

Ah I see weā€™re doing ā€œjust moveā€ discourse again. What if weā€¦didnā€™t. What if we all got really really mad at Exxon Mobile and ChatGPT freaks instead of telling people with no resources to move away from their communities because it makes you feel slightly more in control to think that will save you

Update from Ashville, NC as of 11:31 on Friday, 9/27

I'm here in the Canton/Asheville, NC area. All cell service is down, home phones, etc. Almost nowhere has power. We have been working our tails off trying to get mobile generators up to cell towers in hopes of restoring as much cell coverage as we can.  After several were connected to the towers we found out the entire data system for this area has been knocked out and we're landlocked on all sides due to landslides, interstates and all roads inand out of the area are blocked or washed away. I'm sitting at a fire department in their parking lot to get service from their cell tower that has a satellite data backup system. We're doing our absolute best but everything we're doing is failing right now.

idk this feels like a worthy time to remind some folks that Project 2025 calls for the demolition of NOAA and the National Hurricane Center
