i acc encourage discourse over this tweet bc i NEVER shaved bc i want to. i only ever shave bc of patriarchal societal pressures. since i was a teen & stopped shaving my family acted like it was a feminist political statement instead of me living with my natural body
People who keep saying that Appalachia should’ve been prepared for this really know nothing about the area or weather. This wasn’t a “once in a lifetime” thing. This was a “this has never happened since Noah” kind of thing. It’s one thing to live below sea level and have this happen, it’s a whole other to literally live in the mountains and have your home wash away or have water covering your house. People had less than a days warning of how bad it might be and nothing said it would be this bad. On the coast people know a week ahead what will likely happen because it happens all the time. It’s not the same.
