Spokane fires are still at 0% containment (according to WatchDuty right now) and to put things in perspective - a tenth of the city so far is evacuated. Also they aren't even the biggest fires, with a big nasty fire up in Winthrop that burned down my family's homestead and another in Nespelem

“Why did Chris Evans return to Captain America? Will the mystery ever be solved?” Money and boredom. That’s all it ever is. He either wanted more money or he needed to alleviate tedium

I've been really enjoying creating these essay-type videos - researching, scripting, learning how to edit. A few people have referred to this one as 'journalism' which I find unsettling for various reasons but I understand it was intended as a compliment. Anyway you should watch it, it's good

CW: Wildfire, animal death Home is on fire, and my cousin is in NICU with her newborn and her farm is gone and all of her animals and instead of telling her, they're fucking hiding it because they don't want her to upset the baby. Cue my ass texting her in the language we made up as kids
