Canadian wildfires send smoke into Great Lakes and Northeast
i cannot handle canadian wildfire smoke and the threat of diarrhea lettuce at the same time
Could be worse, could be diarrhea smoke and wildfire lettuce
Hopefully they don’t invent diarrhea smoke
This was the sun this morning on my commute to the office (I am in the Toronto, Canada area).
Its like living in a sepia toned filtered world. So strange
There's also an outbreak of Legionnaire's disease: www.nytimes.com/2026/07/14/n...
this is honestly terrifying I don't think I've ever seen the air this bad in New England.
next time someone asks me why we need good government I’m going to yell DIARRHEA LETTUCE
You forgot the heat wave.
truly, we live in the cyberpunk 2020 timeline on like a 20 year delay
🎼 Diarrhoea lettuce…climbing up the Eiffel Tower 🎼
Saw Diarrhea Lettuce open for Jello Biafra in ‘97. Good set.
Insisting upon the UK spelling of 'diarrhoea' so the phrase 'diarrhoea lettuce' contains TWO unpronounced vowels.
Everyday brings something new and exciting
Michigan is not having the best of times at the moment.
And 105 heat index 🙃
Air quality has reached unhealthy levels in parts of NYC due to smoke from Canadian wildfires. Poor air quality affects everyone, but some people are more sensitive to it than others, including people with heart or lung conditions, older adults, pregnant New Yorkers, and infants and children.
Avoid unnecessary outdoor activities, head to a cool space indoors with AC if possible, and follow City guidance: on.nyc.gov/firesmoke Free masks are available at locations citywide: on.nyc.gov/freemask
As a reminder if you've had a recent mysterious flu or respiratory illness especially if you know you've had COVID... YOU are at risk Wearing a respirator greatly reduces the impact of breathing smoke and is a good practice anytime to prevent getting sick Mask up Safe air is community care 🖤
Object lesson in "environmental issues don't stay isolated in a specific geographical region." :-(
Our 🇨🇦 pilots are DYING fighting US Wildfires This morning I’m gasping in a cloud of smoke from a US wildfire. Perhaps this is more than a “ the other guys” problem?
As years pass, and the climate gets hotter, we are going to need to change a lot of things to stay safe. Everyone is gonna need air conditioning units, and air purifiers. Yes, number one, we need to fight climate change, but things are gonna be rough for a while, even if we change tomorrow.
Calling them "Canadian" is unnecessary. That's like calling them tree-based. More appropriate would have been "climate change-caused." We are all fucked in this together.
Midtown smelled like a campfire this morning.
It’s really bad in CT too…even indoors with the AC on it’s giving me a headache
bro had to call us out 😞
Here we go again. It's not as bad *yet* as last time when I walked outside and the sky was nuclear orange, but it's bad. Air is thick and smells like burnt toast on top of it being nearly 100 degrees. Please don't go outside unless it's necessary. 🙏🏼😷
#canada See how our country affects other parts of the world? We need to care because we all live together on this rock. We need to protest our government. Stop them from defunding programs that could help.
Grateful for the partnership of Premier Doug Ford and our Canadian allies as they work to rescue Minnesota campers from ongoing wildfires on the border. www.fox9.com/news/minneso...
Ford cut our fire fighting budget in Ontario. He's not the hero here Tim. It's the men and women risking their lives.
Truly hope all the campers get home safe. Don't let the guy fool you though, he is currently funding the crisis.
Doug Ford is the single worst thing that has ever happened to Ontario. Huge trump fan and the most corrupt premier we have ever seen. He just changed freedom of information laws so we cant investigate him. You are welcome to have him in your country
Praying for safety for campers and rescue/fire crews! 🙏
woke up to the wildfire smoke baking the entire outside world in sickly neon nuclear yellow, so i guess we're staying inside today
fully fallout new vegas color grading out there today
I had a doggy playdate planned, but I took ONE step outside and immediately cancelled it. Stay safe, it's brutal out there!
Perfect for a movie marathon.
Be safe over there, Trevor!
it alternates between smelling rancid and piney, like desperately trying to mop a disgusting floor that never gets clean
Perfect time to draw a wildfire creature?
On my way to Marquette for tomorrow’s book talk. Spooky day on the Mackinac Bridge with smoke from Canadian wildfires.
Down here, an hour and a half from the Bridge, it is spooky, too, and at times I can smell the smoke. I walked along Lake Mich this morning and thought a cottager had left the yard light on. It was the sun, glowing vaguely orange through the trees.
That bridge spooks me even on a sunny, calm day! 😱
Make sure to pick up some pasties for your trip back below the bridge!
You're driving in the middle rumble lane. That always creeps me out.
Welcome to WI. Air quality is poor in the southern part of the state, too.
This RI right now. It’s bad! The pic doesn’t do it justice to how orange it is out there.
I’ve been traveling and over the past 2 weeks I’ve experienced 115 degree heat in DC, 3 feet of flooding in New Orleans from an ordinary summer storm, and now I’m in Massachusetts and have to turn the lights on to see at 11:30 AM because the sun is almost totally obscured by wildfire smoke.
We are in global ecological freefall and climate catastrophe will only get worse, and worse, and worse. It’s already happened and cannot be averted. Naive “hope” is obscene in the face of this holocaust. I don’t want your feckless hope, I want *action* and revenge on the bastards who did this to us
the world is falling apart in every way possible and there is no help or plan to protect us
Breaking News: Smoke from wildfires is spreading to the East Coast, worsening air quality along the way. See where it’s going next.
Its only news if it impacts the East Coast. 🙄
So far, this seems to have missed us in southeast Michigan, which is extremely lucky
