I misread "Portland" as "Poland" and was like "The fuck is happening Poland?" Then I realized it's about the fact that Oregon is on fire. The whole Oregon.

It's coming farther north. I'm in British Columbia, it's a clear day and the sky is grey. I think a piece of ash fell on me earlier.

Tigard here, not Portland but close enough.

It's fucking gross out here. I thought I was being attacked my clouds of flies on the way to work, but it wasn't flies. It was ashes.

Go buy a 3M Half-face respirator, and then a pair of particulate filters for it. It'll help.

So I work at a school and today was the first day back and we only had 6th graders so they can get used to the change. One of these changes is that they have to enter their account number and that gives them their lunch (everyone is free), but a lot of them of course don't know it yet and the god damn teachers didn't have them write it down or something before lunch.

Anyways, the issue with the ash is that this was my first time doing more than just sub work and I was supposed to learn some things, but the lady who runs the kitchen was caught up in the mountains and had to evacuate somewhere and missed work. So it was a huge mess because a few things went wrong and she wasn't here to help us learn. We made it just fine, but it was a little nerve wrecking at the start because everything was cut so close

When I saw my car this morning I half expected to hear about a volcanic eruption. I live like 1/4 mile from the puget sound get a good breeze most of the time so my place wasn't bad but a few miles inland and it was gross.

Holy shit fuck those kids.

Hope they throw the book at them so the kids can learn that there's real consequences for the dumb shit they do.

Can't wait for the parents to defend them though. "They didn't know what they were doing! They didn't know it was wrong!! Boys will be boys right!?" No. Throwing fireworks into a forest after the dry (and hot) summer the PNW had is incredibly fucking stupid and should be common sense.

Shut the fuck up.

They might not get fully prosecuted, but it'd only be because they're kids. If they can prove they did it, the kid(s) are going down. Starting a forest fire is a serious crime especially when it turns into a huge one that's fucking everything up.

If they're people of color they'll be tried as adults. This is a statistically validated line of reasoning.

It isn't that you're wrong, it's just that people are sick of hearing this shoved down their throats like it's any of our faults. It's the same as women getting sick of hearing how much easier they have it dating or having sex. How women never get punished for crimes. That sort of shit. It's like, everyone knows, shut up.

My god, people are at risk of losing their homes and you want to bring up the race issue. Give me a break

No one blamed you. Don't be so damn sensitive. It makes the rest of us white people look the same way.

Also it's possible to care about more than one thing at once.

No.

They will likely be tried as adults no matter what.

Again, shut the fuck up. Stop race baiting in a topic about wildfires destroying our air quality and possibly ruining peoples homes. You look like a jackass.
