We might as well start with the elephant in the room. February’s winter storm in 2021 was historic and record-breaking in so many ways. The National Weather Service calls it “an unprecedented and historical eight-day period of winter weather.” #Texas endured not one, not two, but five separate storm systems. At one point on Feb. 14, the entire state of Texas was under a Winter Storm Warning.

IF YOU ARE FROM TEXAS / STRUGGING WITH THE WINTER DISASTER AND DON’T KNOW WHAT TO DO

Please just sent me an ask, comment on this post, do literally anything. I can’t promise I’ll know how to solve every problem, but I’ll do my fucking damndest to help you troubleshoot this snowstorm from a distance. 

We’re in this together. 

With love,  Wisconsin

Bed, my salvation. Yes, you see 5 layers. 😂 No heat, power, or water for over 24 hours. #TexasBlackout #TexasIsClosed #HoustonBlackout #TexasWinterStorm2021 (at Westbury) https://www.instagram.com/p/CLZf161pfIT/?igshid=oagbfqs18xht

🥶『P』『T』『S』『D』🙃 Moodboard for this week is just Snowstorm Uri Texas Blackout related PTSD symptoms listed by the wise @dove_healing_arts. She says: "𝘐’𝘮 𝘴𝘦𝘦𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘸𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘴𝘱𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘥 𝘳𝘦𝘱𝘰𝘳𝘵𝘴 𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘴𝘰𝘤𝘪𝘢𝘭 𝘮𝘦𝘥𝘪𝘢 𝘰𝘧 𝘱𝘦𝘰𝘱𝘭𝘦 𝘥𝘦𝘴𝘤𝘳𝘪𝘣𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺 𝘤𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘭𝘺 𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘶𝘮𝘢 𝘴𝘺𝘮𝘱𝘵𝘰𝘮𝘴 𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘮 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘺 𝘦𝘹𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦𝘥 𝘥𝘶𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘪𝘤𝘦 𝘴𝘵𝘰𝘳𝘮. | 𝘐’𝘭𝘭 𝘴𝘢𝘺 𝘪𝘵 𝘢𝘨𝘢𝘪𝘯: 𝘪𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘴𝘦 𝘴𝘺𝘮𝘱𝘵𝘰𝘮𝘴 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘱𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘣𝘺 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘦𝘯𝘥 𝘰𝘧 𝘯𝘦𝘹𝘵 𝘸𝘦𝘦𝘬, 𝘗𝘓𝘌𝘈𝘚𝘌 𝘴𝘦𝘦𝘬 𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘢𝘯 𝘌𝘔𝘋𝘙 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘢𝘱𝘪𝘴𝘵 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘨𝘦𝘵 𝘩𝘦𝘭𝘱 𝘢𝘴 𝘴𝘰𝘰𝘯 𝘢𝘴 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘵𝘰 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘤𝘦𝘴𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘯𝘴𝘦 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘭𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘮𝘦𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘴 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘤 𝘦𝘹𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘩𝘢𝘱𝘱𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘥.

I took today and tomorrow off to process my stress and I have an appointment for EMDR this weekend. Let this be a reminder to anyone in the service industry, you have to take care of yourself before you can take care of others. With Governor Greg Abbott removing the mask mandate for Texas today, many of us are feeling additionally gaslit right now. Any distraction to get his constituents to forget about the ERCOT failure that he helped create. Not me, I'll remember for the rest of my life. Let me assure you, masks will be 💯% required at Freakflag 💯% of the time until pandemic is deemed over in the eyes of SCIENTISTS, not politicians. Even if I'm vaccinated, even if both of us are vaccinated.

A week ago here in Texas we were dealing with single digit highs, snow and ice, power outages across the state and water freezing and exploding in the pipes. Today, some are still recovering from the power/water problems, but most of us are safe and back in our homes. The sun is shining, it's 75°F and my windows are open. #texaswinterstorm2021 #texasweather #climatechange #climatechangeisreal #catsofinstagram #conorandbrogie #chonkycat #orangetabby #gingercatsofinstagram #sleepycat #loafcat #happycat #sunshinekitty https://www.instagram.com/p/CLsPlRYH38k/?igshid=142cbksdfpkko

A week ago today it was in the negatives, we had no power or heat and were terrified if we’d be ok Now we’re in the 80s How does anyone except us to be normal and mentally healthy when we live in a state gaslighting us with weather?! #tx #texas #texasweather #texaswinter #texaswinterstorm2021 #hot #sun #sunshine #sunnyday #sunny #warm #weather #dfw #february #2021 #tuesday #tuesdayvibes #tuesdaymotivation #irish #irishmom #irishmammies #mom #momlife https://www.instagram.com/p/CLpjuYbAbyp/?igshid=1ja5bekm66z1x

The Age of Aquarius is here to help us unite as one! Our communities, mindsets, ideologies, perceptions and beliefs are changing drastically! This past week, Texas experienced another lock down situation that brought back some 2020 vibes. I witnessed our communities bridge together to assist one another with whatever resources and tools we had to offer. This is all Aquarian vibes... looking out for the betterment of humanity! • 👉🏾What changes in society are you witnessing? 👉🏾 What changes are happening within you?
