What would even come next on the scale after “Very Unhealthy” and “Hazardous”? “Patently Carcinogenic”?
Well this may be one of the coolest @yptchicago.org events to date: touring the Northwestern University Transportation Library. @rmartincole.bsky.social was an absolutely amazing guide & host, & I’m still in awe that a place like this exists, tucked on an upper floor of the NU library building!
As someone who still chooses to mask in most public spaces the one good thing about wildfire season is the general public’s rediscovery and momentary blanket acceptance of everything we’ve just kept doing. So many CR boxes on the feed rn
