Hazardous Air Quality - “Everyone should stay indoors and reduce activity levels.”

The DC region has blown past the expected Code Red Air Quality warning for Friday, July 18. It was only red for about an hour before moving to the purple “Very Unhealthy” for everyone range. Now, it’s mostly in the maroon “Hazardous” for everyone range, which is the highest this scale goes up to. This is due to wildfire smoke from Canada. Good thing rain is in the forecast for tomorrow.

If you have an N95 mask, such as the 3M Aura (which fits about 80% of adults), it is a very good idea to wear it. Under these conditions, a half piece respirator is better if you have one and need to go outdoors. Most hardware stores should have them in stock if you don’t have one on hand.

Remember that smoke rises, so stay on the lowest floor while indoors if you can. The PM levels for my upstairs rooms are much higher than my lower ones. You can seal leaky windows with painters tape and plastic sheeting to create a “safe room” with HEPA air purifiers or make a CR Box (I reposted a tutorial yesterday).

This follows Saturday's separate wildfire in the city's northern suburbs that forced evacuations in Anthoupoli, Filothei & Galini — including a facility housing 157 people with special needs.

Greece's wildfire season is intensifying. Stay alert, follow @112Greece, and check on vulnerable neighbors. 🙏

To all my friends in Europe and the West experiencing the severe heatwaves, please stay safe and take care of yourselves. 🤍
Here in Gaza, the summer heat feels different. It blankets our tents and ruins with nowhere to escape—no fans, no electricity, and no clean cold water as we fight just to survive.
Even in our darkest days, you are in my thoughts. Thank you for never forgetting us. Please continue to stand by my family. 🙏💔

Tomorrow, I want to get some gaming in. I'm managing one short session a week at the moment due to pain and fatigue. It's ridiculous, because I need that escapism, but I can be in too much pain to get that escapism.

I also hope to get some #writing done over the weekend. If not actual prose, then finish one plan and consider my approach to a different tale.

Anyway, it's stupid-o-clock, so time to go and sleep.

And hope my office cools down tomorrow.

Normally she rides creatures. Occasionally machines. But sometimes, just something that fits the location.

I'd best get meds and go sleep. But at least I was in-game for a bit today.

I missed this shot when running the #FFXIV Make It Rain story on Ali, and I didn't /quite/ get the shot I wanted, but this is close enough for now.

I did the story, dealt with some storage issues, browsed the markets for a bit and now I'm very tired. So it's sleep time.

I haven't said it for a while, but the world is still as dangerous, so...

#StaySafe and #BeKind.

I'll be back whenever I next have energy for socials. Take care.

Memorial Day Weekend - "Remember"

This is a 3-day Holiday weekend in the U.S., meant to be a somber & mindful tribute to the many who served "God and Country" fighting for rights, #democracy, & "the American Way" - when it aspired towards compassion, law, rights, etc.

#StephenColbert epitomized our freedom to speak #truth & brought many smiles amid #TrumpVirus #War & #pestilence.

🚨 Travel Warning from Namibia 🚨

I arrived in Windhoek full of excitement for my journey across Africa… and within hours, everything went wrong.

I was attacked and robbed by two armed men on this very stairway. The first went straight for my stomach with a knife, while the second came from behind, aiming for my ribs. In that split second, I had to fight for my life. I managed to throw the second attacker down the stairs, but the first escaped with my phone and all my data, including everything from Zanzibar to Namibia.

I survived, but it was terrifying. For two weeks, I waited in Windhoek for police action. Nothing happened. No phone. No SD card. Just disappointment and frustration. I eventually had to move on, shaken but alive.

Because of this experience, I cannot recommend Namibia for tourism anymore. The landscapes are stunning, but the risk of violent robbery is real.

I’m sharing this so others can stay alert, protect themselves, and make informed decisions. Travel can be amazing, but sometimes the worst can happen when you least expect it.

📹 The video below also shows the stairway for a short moment where it all happened.
