Please help if you can. My town is one of the least impacted. However, the region is devastated. We have been isolated with little news until spotty cell service returned today. I haven't yet heard from several friends.

Hurricane Helene unleashed devastating flooding in the mountains of North Carolina. Here are ways to help local flood victims in Western North Carolina by donating relief funds or volunteering.
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
We have gotten about 8 inches of rain in the past 2 days and Hurricane Helena is on its way. This weekend might be the biggest flooding in western North Carolina since 1916. If we lose power, I wonder what part of me will have the hardest time: my autism side, ADHD side, or new combo of them both.
Working in a so-called right to work state makes unmasking feel dangerous to impossible.
This story is an example where designing schools for autistic and other neurodiverse folks would make them better for everyone.
My class was indefinitely delayed for photos. But no teaching b/c 2/3 of class was getting photos with another teacher. Then I have to take all students to line up in lobby that has terrible acoustics with dozens of 8th graders. A sensory disaster for anyone! Painful for me. 2/3
Tales of teaching in an ballistic world: Picture day was this week. My class was given a time to go. O I was already anxious that my classes would need different lessons plus what happens when students don't need photo b/c they got theirs in a different class? 1/x

I live and work in Springfield, OH. I am livid. A horrible racist shithead decided to lie on national tv about my town, and schools down the street have closed for bomb threats. The Haitians in my town are good people; their children go to my school, and they don’t deserve this. None of us do.
