Last thing before I log off for a bit...It makes me sick to see national/international media outlets asking to use video taken by Jamaicans for credit. “Hey is this your whole livelihood being washed away in flood waters? Do you mind giving us all the rights to your content with credit to you?” Pretty scummy in my opinion.
These people are losing everything right now, and all media outlets care about is getting views and making a significant profit from your content.
Your content is worth thousands of dollars with a storm of this magnitude. Don’t give it away for free to media outlets who will profit off your loss.
Attention South Carolina: Y’all are the nicest people I’ve met in a looong time.
I am at Myrtle Beach with my elderly dad on vacation and I have lost count of how many people here have GONE OUT OF THEIR WAY to assist me with him.
Just tonight at dinner, a man saw us walking toward the door. He stopped eating, left his hot meal on the table, and jumped up and raced ahead of us to open the door as my dad made his way up the ramp at a truly glacial pace. Such kindness. Such patience.
Every day at the beach the same wonderful couple turns up out of nowhere to help us pack up and get across the dunes and back to the hotel. Today they weren’t out there, BUT THEN around 5:00, the husband turned up and said he just wanted to check on us and see if we needed any help getting back to the hotel. To be clear, he and his wife didn’t even come to the beach today. But he came to find us and make sure we were OK. Who does that???
Every single time I take my dad wading in the surf, people stop to offer help. My dad is very wobbly and he always looks like he’s going to fall down out there even in ankle deep water so I’m sure it’s alarming to watch him. But still, this does not happen anywhere else I go with him. Especially not in our hometown in central Virginia.
After all I’ve experienced in the last several years, I was honestly beginning to lose my faith in humanity. This week, the good people of South Carolina have gone a long way toward restoring some of that.
THANK YOU ♥️

Here is a rough timing of the greatest chance for severe weather. Thunderstorms, some even strong to severe, could still occur outside of these times. Stay tuned for further updates. #gawx
@robertlufkinmd Fragrance and “Natural Fragrance” in personal care products and cleaning supplies. It’s a loophole to add toxic chemicals to any product.
@VigilantFox He is 💯 right. I quit eating gluten years ago because it triggered my anxiety so bad. If I now eat gluten my teeth will start chattering I get so anxious. When I went to Italy I ate gluten and was fine, no issues. Our food is poisoned crap!
i loathe tiny transactional “venmo me $9 for covering lunch” culture
no i’m gonna pay for you this time, you’re gonna pay for me next time, and it’s all gonna come out in the aggregate of our long and storied friendship
Measles outbreaks always happened, but media can shape coverage by focusing on the isolated incidents. Be prepared for an onslaught of ordinary medical conditions and random outbreaks to reach hysteria levels or coverage.
