The evacuation prep poster is done! This poster is designed primarily with wildfires in mind, but the tips can apply to preparing for any much any disaster.

The inner, red, level is labeled “No Warning.” The next, orange, level is labeled “Less Than an Hour.” The next, yellow, level is labeled “More Than an Hour.” The final, green, level is labeled “General Preparedness.” The items associated with each level and the text are included below. /end ID.]]

Evacuation Prep:
As the world changes, it is important to be prepared to safely and efficiently evacuate your home, potentially with little or no warning. Preparing ahead of time can help to reduce stress and anxiety, and help you evacuate safely if the time comes.
Red Level (No Warning): People | Pets | Keys. Human life matters most. If you can’t rescue your pets, let them out to give them their best chance. If evacuating by car, don’t forget your keys.
Orange Level (Less Than an Hour): Crucial Meds | Important Papers | Money | Paper Map | Pet Vaccination Records. Crucial meds and medical equipment. Papers including passports, birth certificates, medical records, etc.. Multiple forms of payment. Paper map with marked evac routes in case of signal loss. Phone. Most evac centers require vaccine records for pets to be allowed in.
Yellow Level (More Than an Hour): Photos | Hard Drives | Computers | Chargers | Irreplaceable Items | OTC Meds | Pet Supplies | Pet Food | Clothes | Weather Gear. Family photos. Hard drives and computers. Make digital backups ahead of time. Charging cords. Irreplaceable items such as collectibles and mementos. Over the counter medical supplies such as Aspirin and tampons. Pet supplies such as bowls, crates, toys, and litter. Pet food and treats. Clothes. If you are running out of time grab your laundry basket. Weather gear if needed.
Green Level (General Preparedness): Food | Water | Radio | N95 Masks | Multitool | Power Pack | Gas | Stove + Fuel | Flashlight | Toiletries | Emergency Contact Info | Bedding | First Aid | Can Opener. Easy prep, shelf-stable food. Water. Battery powered/rechargeable NOAA weather radio. N95 masks for smoke. A multitool. Rechargeable power pack for phones. Keep your car at least partially fueled at all times. Portable stove and fuel for cooking food without power. Flashlight and spare batteries. Toiletries including hair products, toothbrush and paste, etc.. Emergency contact info for friends and loved ones. Spare pillows and blankets. Dedicated first aid kit. Can opener.
Save yourself time and stress by preparing an evacuation bag ahead of time and keep it in an easy to access place. At the end of every season rotate out the perishable items within such as food, water, and medications. The more you can keep in the bag, the more time you’ll have to grab everything else. Remember, it is okay if you can’t do everything. Some preparation is better than no preparation.
If you are in the U.S.A. and experiencing disaster related anxiety call the Disaster Distress Hotline at 1-800-985-5990 for support and resources.

Today I referenced 1987's The Brave Little Toaster in fourth period, and I was trying to explain the plot, and suddenly I understand why I always talk to my appliances and feel like I've failed them when they break.

So I fell down a terrible rabbit hole of Dimension 20 while I was sick during February (the second time), and now I'm working my way through Fantasy High: Sophomore Year. Do I know anything about D&D? No. But I do like people telling stories and having fun. And I just have to say a few things:
Murph and Siobhan are my favorites forever, because I love people with Rules and Plans and who also have Chaotic Friends Who Fuck Things Up
Lou and Ally's utterly cursed dice rolls during the Row and Ruction fight had me losing my mind
The bit with Gorgug trying to use his crystal to Shazam the elven music in Fallinel, and then Murph quietly saying, "I think it's Sufjan Stevens," and Emily agreeing, "Yeah, it's definitely Michigan," was so specifically funny to me that I about choked on the pretzel I was eating.

“hallelujah” by leonard cohen being played as an easter and christmas song, “zombie” by the cranberries” being played as a halloween song, and “born in the U.S.A.” by bruce springsteen being played as a Fourth of July/generic us patriotism song have got to be a special trifecta of the most no-listening-comprehension musical moments that happen on seasonal playlists every single year

I have had a cough since the first of January, got worse, got antibiotics for a sinus infection, got somewhat better. Cough lingered. Cough got worse again. Doctor prescribed a course of steroids to help deal with the inflamation and irritation. Felt better-- almost normal!-- for the first time in nearly six weeks. And then TWO DAYS LATER I go from feeling fucking fine in the morning to my sinuses aching with pressure by noon, and by six PM I'm running a very low fever. Not today Satan, I think, so I drink an ABSURD amount of herbal tea, flush my nasal passages, take the necessary OTCs, swab for a covid test (negative), and go to bed at 7 PM. I wake up in a pool of sweat just after midnight, no fever. Fever does not return. Congestion and pressure, however, have moved into my right maxillary sinus like they got a deal on the rent and I haven't stopped blowing my nose for forty-eight straight hours.
I have been sick to some degree for seven fucking weeks and I am so tired. I was talking to my sister this afternoon because she was so excited because she's found a house she wants to put an offer on, and I let her tell me about it for a good ten minutes before she realized I wasn't really responding, and she asked if I was okay and I started crying because I just want to feel okay for more than two days in a row and I want to have enough energy to go look at houses with her and I just don't right now.

OP, my friend, you will never get over it. Never. And what a gift, right? To have this wry, perceptive voice from more than two centuries ago speaking to us about how it feels to be overlooked and belittled and misunderstood by the people who should love us best, how ridiculous and petty we can be to each other, how love takes work and patience and understanding and resolve, and how forgiveness and grace can be such small human acts and still feel miraculous.
So I just read Persuasion for the first time last weekend and oh my GOD I am fucking feral about it. The sharp asides! The social commentary on class and outer presentation versus inner character! The ABSOLUTE ANGSTY PERFECTION that is Anne/Frederick!!! I went through the entire Ao3 tag and watched the 1995 movie twice, and I STILL cannot get over it!

Oh, wow, this is a JOURNEY. Like, would I go to a NYE party thrown by Admiral Raddus? Abso-fucking-lutely. I want to know what the Mon Cala serve for appetizers. I figure calmari's not on the menu, huh. But why am I getting drunk with Tivik?! I mean, maybe I'm hanging with him in the hopes that Cassian will show up, because Tivik totally texted him and said he was looking forward to seeing him, and Cass responded with a 👍, so that probably means he's coming, right? No idea why I'm fighting with Tonc, though. More likely I was drunk and arguing with an equally drunk Melshi, and took a swing at him and Tonc got in the way, somehow. Gonna have to call him tomorrow and apologize. Maybe buy him a decent six pack of his favorite microbrew.
I have absolutely no recollection of the Draven thing. Don't know what you're talking about. And neither does he.

I feel like I should know better than to go to a party thrown by Skeen, and KNOW I know better than to get drunk with a rent-a-cop, but at least I get to punch him later. And I'll take a kiss from Taramyn, sure.
