Winter is Coming, Plan Ahead Post 3: Food Prep = Your Pantry + One Question
Emergency food doesn’t have to be special.
Ask:
If the power’s out, how would I open and cook this? Also, have you tried it and will your family eat it?
Camping gear = emergency gear.
Same stuff. New purpose.

Winter is Coming, Plan Ahead Post 2: Phones Die. Paper Doesn’t.
Add this to your emergency plan:
Important phone numbers on paper:
- Family & friends
- Coworkers
- Schools, childcare, vets
- An out-of-area contact
If your phone dies or breaks, paper still works.

Before buying anything, make a family emergency plan.
Everyone should know:
- Where to meet if you can’t get home
- Who grabs kids or pets
- When to leave early instead of waiting
Write it down. Stress kills memory.

I’ve been thinking about how I can help in my community, particularly considering events in Minneapolis and even here in Spokane. So, over the next several days, I’m going to share some things we can do for personal emergency preparedness. Winter is coming and now is the time to prepare.

Officer Fanone coughing an expletive in a congressional hearing is the funniest damned thing I've seen this week. I could watch that over and over and it gets funnier every time! Fuck Nazis and their enablers

Do not refer to the Incel Clown Posse as "engineers."
Engineers are trained. Software engineers are educated. They have degrees. Experience. Credentials.
These little zit pickers are failson wanna be hackers.
Stop using professional words to describe them. They are not professionals.

In its simplest terms, the apparent demise of #USAID is the result of the world's richest man ending a program that helps millions of poor people. You don't need a Ph.D. in moral theology to see why this is an evil. You can just read Jesus's parables on the rich and the poor.

This is becoming absurd—federal employees are now being told to remove pronouns from their email signatures. We will always stand by our commitment to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, no matter how many things we’re asked to delete or change. Inclusivity is at the core of who we are.

Not to be alarmist, but please be prepared for many gov services to vanish or be horribly downgraded in the months to come. While continuing to push national and local electeds to hold the line, think about non-gov groups that are supporting folks in your community and consider how to support them.
