I work at a place that sells these. The kind you want are particulate respirators/filters. These are the real deal.
I had to deal with some really bad wildfire smoke in my region last summer. So bad they closed the national parks. (which is rare here) (Side note, my brother wanted to go freaking HIKING in it…like HONEY, that’s how you die.) and it wasn’t as bad as what I’m seeing w/ Cali. So stay safe and protect your lungs.
New South Wales people, there’s apparently a big ass red dust storm coming (like 2009 level big ass) so if you have respiratory issues, I suggest heading to Bunnungs for these too xx
someone: so what do you think is the solution to homelessness?
me, socialist:
Let homeless people occupy peopleless homes, build houses for use rather than exchange, 3D print comfortable houses in a day, convert corporate skyscrapers into housing and commercial malls into publicly-accessible community centers with living commons and entertainment
When you say it to people and they break
“But the money? … we can’t just? But, Money? We can’t just… help… people? Can we? The Money. We can’t just help people? Like that? We can’t just? Money?”
There’s a reason why those regulations were in place, to protect consumers from shit like this. To no surprise, this administration’s policies are not for the protection of it’s people-they serve the interests of the large corporations-not for the people, not for America.
It should also be noted that these companies could still follow the now-repealed safety regulations. They’re showing their colors as bastards by immediately jumping on all this deregulation to save a few bucks at the cost of consumers’ health and well-being. Any of the people running these companies could take the easiest moral stance and literally save lives, and they adamantly refuse to do so because they are literal monsters who value capital over lives

/writes on post it note “… Thanks?” *below a doodle of a moth and lamp surrounded by question marks* and places it on her desk before setting the memé aside and getting back to work
-Ali makes a paper air plane, and tries to get it to make it to his desk, that failing she walks up behind his desk chair and smacks another post it note on his forehead-
/jumps a bit, batting her hand away before reading the note
-Ali scurries away before Chip can talk to her because she is scared of confrontation-
/raises an eyebrow and sighs fondly, writing one back and making a successful airplane to toss back and her station
