Something I wondered so looked up 🌳 “When smoke is heavy, living trees actually "hold their breath" by closing the tiny pores on their leaves so they don't take in the toxic air.” theconversation.com/trees-dont-l...

🤣

Reposting this excellent advice from @kashprime.bsky.social with Alt Text. Thank you, Doc 🙏

Took Beaglebuns out for a brief business stroll. Awful out 😣. For exercise, when we came home, we stagger-walked the stairs: up one end, along the hall, up the other end. 8 floors. He loved it! 😅 I’ll feel this tomorrow.

The view from here 😢 Closest AQI sensor across the lake at Put-in-Bay, OH: 623. Smells awful 😣

Holy Hell, #ThunderBay 😮 I hope you can stay inside and stay safe 🤞🏼😢 “PM2.5 concentration is currently 148.4 times the WHO annual PM2.5 guideline value”

Good news for a town that suffered such loss.

It would be the most stupid possible outcome if they invaded Canada under the pretext of "improving forest management" while actively dismantling all of their climate change measures including monitoring.

Dear Michigan GOP. USA Today map of wildfires south of the 49th. Respectfully: Eat shit 😡

This is so very sad 😢💔 Thank you for your service 🙏

MOST of Canada is a “fire region” — Boreal forest covers over HALF of Canada’s 🇨🇦 land area — it’s both our greatest asset and our greatest fire risk.

I hope PM @mark-carney.bsky.social respectfully told them where to go and how to get there 😡 bergman.house.gov/uploadedfile...

😢😣

We went outside for a wee stroll 🐾 Ugly out there 😕 Poor beagle is so confused and unhappy 😢 Mum too.

This is Windsor right now!! Check the photos😳😳 How to mitigate effects of wildfire smoke, poor air quality in Windsor, Chatham and Sarnia | CBC News share.google/6rgkbNrUIWt3...

They never will 😣

Had to check as it looks like it’s getting worse 😖

I haven’t seen them yet. Usually found sunning themselves on the rocks around the marina 😊

Local small businesses are wisely closing today to keep their staff and customers safe 🙏

Dunno if you can see a FB video? Classic Beagle 😅😅 www.facebook.com/reel/1853284...

In my latest Legion Magazine article, Dutch-born Canadian Herman Mol (pictured), 97, recalls the Nazi occupation of the Netherlands, the Hunger Winter famine that killed 20,000, and his immigration journey to the country that helped liberate his homeland. legionmagazine.com/ww-ii-hunger...

I don't think scientists have a handle yet on the growing health and economic impacts of severe heat and wildfire smoke tied to climate change. I've attached a 2013-2018 study estimating annual Canadian wildfire-caused deaths at > 2,500. That's low in current context. www.canada.ca/en/services/...

Down here: 😢😷 “PM2.5 concentration is currently 60.8 times the WHO annual PM2.5 guideline value”

🤢 This is one of the many reasons I absolutely refuse to buy US produce. The other reasons are the felon and his rabid dog attacks on Canada, tariffs and the fact that they put an idiot in charge of the CDC with ZERO scientific background.

I only have two words for Mr. Colby and his boss 😡 Watch Us 🇨🇦💪 You are not as exceptional as you think 😖 archive.ph/AC7KJ

Q: Why am I still smelling wildfire smoke when I wear an N95 respirator mask? A: The smoke's gas and chemical molecules that you smell are much smaller than the harmful PM2.5 particulate matter the N95 filters out. You will also have <100% seal around a mask.

I love it! 😅🇨🇦

Whoa: Blenheim ON, you’re at AQI 673 according to the device at the Wildflower Bee Farm. Dangerous. Stay safe! 🤞🏼🐝

Going swimmingly 😣

It’s just white out there. Looks like fog, with treetops popping through. Sadly, it is not 😢

The HEPA is working well. Much easier to breathe in here 😊 Remember when we didn’t have to do this? 😣

There’s a teensy tiny spider spinning a web on my windowsill. I don’t have the heart to break it. Hope he catches good bugs 😊

Looking at the map: Most of SW ON and MI are in the purple: Hazardous. Really hope folk stay safe 🤞🏼

Good Mother Loving Hazardous Thursday 😖 Station readings. This is what it looks like. No sunrise 😢 We just went for a short stroll over to the rocks and back🐾 HEPA going full tilt 🤞🏼 Stay safe, everyone.

Marquette, Michigan AQI has reached 866 😮 Their chart only goes up to 500 - hazardous.

Email from Canada Strong Masks: If you need some, they’ve got them 😊 CanadaStrong.ca

You’ll be happy to know that the beagle has had his bed time treat. Mum is not a horrible hooman 😅

I see the US has voted on permanent DST. Hope we don’t follow suit. 9 a.m. dark winter mornings will be brutal 😡

Too frigging adorable 😅❤️😅

Putting my IKEA air quality monitor to good use today. See the difference a HEPA machine can make for the air quality of a room? Kiddo had to miss tennis today because of the wildfire smoke, so he is playing Wii tennis instead — in a room with a HEPA air cleaner running.

The beagle is standing by the balcony door staring intently at me. He doesn’t understand that we’re not going out 😣

Tragic 😢💔😢

I made this for supper and it turned out good 😊 Couple of changes: I didn’t have apple cider vinegar so used a splash of balsamic.. yummy. And it took longer to cook as per my meat thermometer. www.allrecipes.com/recipe/26616...

We’ve been for the first of our very short strolls 🐾 Not enjoying this. The Humidex is 45C but the smoke has yet to hit. How are the rest of you doing? 🤞🏼

This is cool 🔭 spklr.io/6009EPnRD

Sounds like things are going well 🤞🏼😣 globalnews.ca/news/1196563...

Bloody hell 😡 Lest we forget, Ford made drastic cuts to wildfire services 🤬
