  1. An Aeon essay through one of my favourite subjects: subversive literature, and whether it is actually subversive, by Charlie Ericson.

    aeon.co/essays/feel-the-burn-h

    He discusses #Dante and #Milton, and a contemporary poet, Shane McCrae, and makes a distinction between subversion and #revolution.

    It go me thinking about how literature's role in renewing #perception might transcend both of these.

  4. Big Freedia takes on #Project2025 with something too policy-specific for the DC press to care about - the plan to privatize the National Weather Service.

    People actually would like to be warned about hurricanes!

  7. How hurricane falsehoods are dividing the Republican Party

    As Donald Trump and his allies spread false claims about Hurricanes Helene and Milton,
    the Republican Party has split into two camps:
    🔸those who try to dispel the falsehoods,
    ♦️and those who are doubling down on them.

    #Helene made landfall Sept. 26, tearing through parts of Florida and Georgia before devastating much of western North Carolina,
    ultimately causing more than 230 deaths.

    #Milton made landfall Wednesday evening near Sarasota, Fla., bringing powerful winds, tornadoes and deadly floodwaters.

    
As the country digs out, Republicans in storm-battered states appear torn between the #need to #curb #misinformation and 🔥#fear of drawing a #rebuke from Trump just weeks before the election.

    Many lawmakers and officials have sought to counter these rumors 🔸without directly criticizing the former president or their party.

    
One of the most prevalent falsehoods spread by Trump is the claim that the Federal Emergency Management Agency, or FEMA, has used some disaster-relief funds to help migrants.

    Though the emergency agency and migrant-relief programs are both part of the Department of Homeland Security, ⭐️their funds are in separate accounts,
    and money earmarked for aid to migrants can’t be transferred to cover hurricane costs.

  10. Being a true Millennial the biggest spike of fear I feel watching Brandon drive through the eyewall, is when his phone rings.

  14. Brandon has met some of the Sea which has escaped onto land and had to turn back.
    But the seafront is still safe enough for him to park his truck on and view the raging sea.

  15. Brandon has navigated a wall of tree across the road as he enters Bradenton. Some lights are still on and another car was spotted but otherwise a ghost down. Serious debris on the roads, Brandon jokes about getting a flat in this weather

  16. WARNING!: counties list may not be updated or be wrong.
    Consult local authorities in your area of ​​residence
    #Florida counties under mandatory #Evacuation order: #Charlotte, #Citrus, #Collier, #Flagler, #Hernando, #Hillsborough, #Lee, #Levy, #Manatee, #Marion, #Pasco, #Pinellas, #Sarasota, #StJohns and #Volusia
    Hazards there upon🌀#Hurricane #Milton arrival are expected to be threat to life but...

  17. For example, for every 10 yrs #Earth’s temperature remains 1.5°C above preindustrial levels, the researchers calculated, sea level will rise by about 4 cm, or 1.6”. Even a small increase in #SeaLevelRise can lead to more dangerous #flooding when #hurricanes & heavy #rains strike. (In #Florida, which is currently facing the danger of Hurricane #Milton, #SeaLevels are already 8” higher than they were in 1950.)

    I'm begging you, please support me and my #disabled family

    We're facing a #hurricane the second within a month

    #Helene was just at my door - we were lucky unlike NC

    #Milton is knocking hard

    We have
    no food
    no gas
    no supplies
    Losing our car
    and soon no shelter

    Spare a dollar for my elderly mother, our #Bunny and myself?

    Spare two seconds to boost?

    Be a good #PayPig and use your money on something worth it - saving three lives
