Here is a good list of groups that are helping with relief efforts in North Carolina and accepting donations:
https://www.bpr.org/bpr-news/2024-09-28/list-ways-to-donate-and-help-flood-victims-in-western-north-carolina-after-hurricane-helene
I haven't found a similar list for east Tennessee, most of what I've found are drop off locations for supplies near Knoxville. Post resources you know about.
What's the hashtag for recovery support, I'm not sure.

Delightful day in the woods even though it's really dry. I'm sitting on the patio now and am wearing a sweater! Yay fall is almost here! #Hiking #Fall

What the hell are we doing? We collectively learned nothing from covid.
With Only Gloves to Protect Them, Farmworkers Say They Tend Sick Cows Amid Bird Flu
They said they haven't received any personal protective equipment (PPE) beyond gloves to guard against the virus, even as they or colleagues have come down with conjunctivitis and flu-like symptoms that they fear to be bird flu.

@npub1fpr…lyph I want to handwrite them because I think it's more personal, maybe I'll do a hybrid print/cursive 😂

I got a bunch of postcards from the Postcards to Swing States group! Only thing that will be tricky for me is it says to not write in cursive. That's the only way I can write fast! 🤪 Get your postcards here! #HarrisWalz2024 #uspol

Funny observation of the week. I've been watching Midsomer Murders, and there's a background sound in some of the outdoor scenes I thought was a raven or a crow. Last night I had subtitles on for some reason and during one of those noises the subtitle said "Fox Barking." So I had to look up an actual fox barking and wow it sounds weird 😂😂 #MidsomerMurders #Fox

I'm trying to find some hiking shorts and am rather annoyed that all the options for women I see are super short while all the options for men are longer and the length I actually want. Do any women have suggestions for hiking shorts that are mid thigh with belt loops and pockets? #hiking

We have the unnamed tiny kitten sequestered in a bathroom. I tried to get a good photo but she's really squirmy and speedy 😸 The antibiotics seem to already be helping clear up her eyes. She devoured her breakfast. She still looks pretty pitiful but think she'll be ok. #CatsOfMastodon

Wasn't today the last day of the Supreme Court term? Where the hell is the ruling about whether or not the last president is immune from prosecution for trying to overthrow the freaking government? Are they saving the ruling for 2028? #USPol #SupremeCourt #Corruption

I'm so excited!!! I got an old style ice cream maker and just made a batch of vegan soy milk ice cream with strawberries. It only took 30 minutes and it tastes spectacular. Soy milk, strawberries, maple syrup, and vanilla. I foresee a lot of ice cream experimentation in the near future! Here's the recipe I used. https://honestcooking.com/soy-milk-strawberry-ice-cream/ #Vegan #IceCream

One of my caving friends who I've known for over two decades and was an ally when we served on a nonprofit cave land trust board is going to die. He spent his adult life like I have, exploring caves and rappelling into deep pits and off cliffs. A month ago he fell ten feet off a scaffold at his home and has permanent brain damage. His wife is ending care. Life is so random and unfair. Tell your friends how much they mean to you.

I don't understand what is wrong with JK Rowling. Just imagine what would happen if she used her enormous platform to promote good in the world instead of picking on trans people. #TransRights #JKRowling

Propublica writes such great stories about topics that are really important. This one is about wildland firefighters who are going to be so necessary as climate change and fire season get even worse. Starting pay is $15/hour, same pay as McDonald's for risking your life and mental health. The Forest Service is having trouble keeping experienced people and recruiting new hires. Surprise? #Wildfires #ClimateChange https://www.propublica.org/article/wildland-firefighters

I have a big tax bill this year and looks like I'll pay more than Tesla. WTF.
"Thirty-five US corporations—including Tesla, Netflix, and Ford—paid less in federal income tax than they pay their top five executives, according to new report from the nonprofit Institute for Policy Studies (IPS) and the Americans for Tax Fairness (ATF)." #Taxes #TaxTheRich #Billionnaires

A friend just got her hair cut in Alabama. Her stylist said she recently had an ectopic pregnancy. Her doctor prescribed the abortion pill, but no pharmacies in Huntsville (a city full of PhD rocket scientists) would fill it. She finally found one pharmacy, but the pills didn't work. Nobody would do anything else to help her. Finally her fallopian tube ruptured and she had emergency surgery. I can't believe women now have to have a medical emergency for basic care. #WomensHealthCare #Abortion

Currently 17 degrees outside and don't think it will get much warmer. Turned on our supplemental heat so the heat pump doesn't have to work so hard. I have a feeling there will soon be a ring of cats around it

@npub1v5a…5yax they survived last year when it was a little colder than it will get this week. I tried to wrap them but they're too big. Just mulched them really well. I hope they survive, I love fresh figs. Guess I'll see.

2024-01-14 11:39:52

Hey gardeners, I need some advice. I'm in extreme southern Tennessee and we're supposed to get crazy cold weather down to around 0F the next few days, and 2-5 inches of snow starting tonight. Last year when the same thing happened I lost a lot of plants. I now have some plant insulation blankets. Should I just drape them over the plants so they touch the ground or make sure the bottoms are wrapped? I'm especially interested in protecting my sorta small fig trees. #Gardening

@npub189n…satx this country is ridiculous. Flu shots should be free for everyone. And so should covid shots. I read an article last week about the snafus all over the country for people trying to get a covid booster and this was my favorite quote from a guy in Miami: “What kind of country that’s circling the drain am I living in where after years of this public health emergency I can’t get something as basic as a vaccine in one of the larger cities in the country?”

@npub153s…cvd9 I'd like to see untalented studio executives write and act in my favorite shows, like most recently Severance. AI could never do that job. My idea is to have AI do all the number crunching and eliminate overpaid studio executives.
