Today is #WorldSuicidePreventionDay so I’m creating this thread of resources for if you or someone you know is struggling with suicidal ideation, needs someone to talk to, or is dealing with grief from losing someone to suicide.
Returning to wxtwitter bc I am absolutely OUTRAGED by the unjust NOAA/NWS firings.
News flash to all the people saying“it’s fine the private sector will take over”: where do yall think the data the private sector uses comes from.
I’ve spent my entire life being a liberal/leftist in red/red-ish states, I understand how frustrating it can be to have people who are supposedly “on your side” wish harm on you because of where you live. Have some empathy yall idk !!!!
THANK YOU. I’m so tired of seeing the blanket statements lacking empathy for red states. No one deserves to die bc of who they voted for????
A lot of the marginalized communities we claim to fight for exist in red states too. So wishing harm on them too isn’t very “woke”
I can’t believe I have to keep reminding liberals this but making statements wishing harm onto red states that are vulnerable to disasters is not the burn you think it is and in fact makes blue populations in red states feel isolated and ousted, which divides your own party! 🙄
@ReedTimmerUSA Reed I mean this so respectfully, but the two scenarios are not even close to the same thing. Getting fired for choosing to not take a vaccine and getting fired for just…being new to your position are not the same thing. One is the result of a choice the other just pure cruelty
My heart is breaking seeing home like this. I remember the impact Ivan had on the city, how it seemed like an insane once in a lifetime event. But this…is so much worse than I could have ever imagined.
so I’m just minding my business working from home when suddenly @Weathermansam77 bursts into my apartment like “hey I got you a new pet”
….i made him put the new friend back sorry sam 🤣
To clarify: I’m not judging chasers (I’m chasing today) just wanted to post a reminder before my feed gets flooded with people hoping for outbreaks or getting mad if it’s a “bust”. Those of us who live here would very much not mind a bust if it means our friends&fam are safe 💜
Just a friendly reminder to anyone chasing today: please be mindful with your excitement over storms today. It’s okay to geek out over weather (I’m doing it too!) but just remember that there are a lot of people in this high risk area that are incredibly nervous about the impacts
