I specifically decided not to follow political accounts here, and I'm sticking to that. Screenshotting TFG and posting it here is going to force me to unfollow, if not block.

Did you know? In the 1930s, Klamath County, Ore., used wild turkeys to combat grasshoppers. Facing a grasshopper scourge during the Dust Bowl and Great Depression, farmers in the Klamath Basin found success with this method when other measures, such as pesticides, had failed. /1

Can I just say I'm sick to death of the phrase "has no place in our country"? Seriously, it's like a robo-phrase.

#Tarot card for the day: Martyr of Wounds. Got 1 of those ppl in your life who thinks they know it all? Who thinks they have it worse than anyone? They like to let everyone know how much they suffer. Don't buy into it, don't feed their pity party. 📷 from The 22 Lords Oracle

Really good point. Let's hope they institute them going forward to prevent future tragedies like this. Just awful.
Nowhere in the news is there a discussion about #water sprinklers. Those would have kept fire to the building interior.
Years ago an apt below me started to catch fire. The sprinkler put it out. The apt next door to it had some water damage.
THAT WAS ALL.
