Comictober Day 1: Pumpkin Spice 🎃✨ #comictober #comictober2025

Ghost Baby Clifford is here to announce that it is officially spooky season. Let the festivities commence.

Disastrous convergence: National Flood Insurance Program, the main source of coverage against flood damage for most Americans, is set to lapse at midnight Wednesday, at the same time a funding gap is expected to shut down the federal government. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/30/c...

I spoke with @issielapowsky.bsky.social at the @nytimes.com about an important experiment in post-disaster housing happening Maui. Ka La‘i Ola will provide transitional housing for hundreds of wildfire survivors, then convert to permanent housing and infrastructure. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/27/h...

My (almost yearly) thoughts on the pending Govt shutdown. #HoldTheLine #NoCutsToHealthcare youtu.be/QECUFmEPbU0?...

#Erin: This is quite the satellite image. Amazing how much this storm has grown in size the last 3-4 days.

how I feel since 2016 or so

Parabens!

My husband is geeking it up at #Osh25 #Oshkosh without me. BUT he promised to bring me ALL THE INFO on #EmergencyVolunteeringOrgs so I can flex my #Greyskies muscle. #WeBoughtAPlane #DoGooders #NeighborsHelpingNeighbors #GreySky

Was NOT expecting the #SharkTank @gamechangershow.bsky.social was gonna make me cry because @erikaishii.bsky.social's hair guy is gone. 😭😳😭 #PlotTwist

Listening to that kpop demon hunter soundtrack mood.

"Crazy Houstonians" is wild because they're still part of your community! 🤦‍♀️

I talked to @ninalakhani.bsky.social about some issues related to the Texas flood response and about how this is what disasters are going to look like in a world where climate action is banned and our emergency management system is dismantled. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

#GreySky So it begins...the consequences of other people's actions.

Good summary by @socialistdogmom.bsky.social in #WeirdLittleGuys that could cross over into #GreySky research. #EM #Protests #CommunityPreparedness www.iheart.com/podcast/1119...

@briamgilbert.bsky.social asking about yellow light length took me straight back to undergrad transpo class! FYI- Yellow light length also includes time to completely clear the intersection. Safety factor time btwn when a red one direction cues the green in the next direction. #ICanDoTheMathForThat

A fun listen for #GraySky #GreySky folx. Cc: @99pi.org

Gah!! Everyone is missing the BIG emergency management piece of this story… it isn’t that they’re using FEMA sheltering funding… it’s: “Florida Division of Emergency Management, which will have primary oversight of the facility.” WHO???? Why???? That’s not their job!!!

😭😭

For anyone going out to protest #NoKingsDay: one reminder...STFU. youtu.be/nWEpW6KOZDs?...

This week's @lateralcast.com had a question about #SonReeboksOSonNikes. And I NEED @tomscott.com to know that there's a song that SAMPLES #Corona AND includes the joke/pun/lost in translation line. #RITMO #BadBoysForLife cc: @jbalvin.bsky.social youtu.be/EzKkl64rRbM?...

this is like drake and kendrick lamar but they're both drake

I’m in ur sink, questioning ur decor choices. Photo from my collection, no documented date/info.

Pointed out to my freshmen emergency management majors that they know more about emergency management than the current head of FEMA. Much horror.

It remains unclear what exactly the administration means by “returning emergency management to the states” but the last time states were completely on their own with disasters was December 1802.

Writing on the back of this photo from my collection says “General Nuisance. Summer 1954”.

Just listened to @99pi.org episode #461 revisit, where @vivianhle.bsky.social recommends NOT going to a pun-based #Pho restaurant. But what if it's a NUMBER PUN!?!? Does the pho/four bad rhyme scheme just outrightdisqualify it? Cc: @romanmars.bsky.social

This is a new image from #JWST. The bright points with spikes are stars in the Milky Way. Everything else is a galaxy. Everything. Else. Is. A. Galaxy.

Accurate. 🤦‍♀️🤷‍♀️🙃

Stop letting people in this administration say they want to make changes to FEMA because it will save money/minimize disaster spending. This is not true. One thing we are very sure about in disaster research is that investing in mitigation & preparedness saves us major money in response & recovery.

Sharing this for the people in emergency management who somehow still don't understand that when the Trump administration says they want to shift from an "all-hazards" approach to a "risk-informed approach" they mean they are stopping all climate-related work. www.axios.com/2025/03/26/c...

Shout-out to @marthawells.com and @kevinrfree.bsky.social for resparking my love for #DystopianFiction with #TheMurderbotDiaries. It's been a tough few years with - waves arms around- but a certain wonky Murderbot has stolen my heart. 😍 #ThankYou! #ReadingIsFundamental #AudiobooksCountAsReadingToo

@bnnuyburnva.bsky.social - I missed your internet presence! Welcome back to my feed. 😍🥰

Hubs & I are watching the new #Daredevil show. Latest episode brought back #FrankCastle. Him making fun of his fan boys and saying how most of them are dumb cops is really the only fan service/validation I'll ever need in life. 🥰😍🥰😍💀 #FrankCastleWouldHateYou #AndThatStupidSkullSticker #ThePunisher

Accurate.

Excuse you...we're in MARCH, right!? Not MAY!! 🥴😮‍💨

@danielpovenmire.bsky.social - Perry the Great British Baker!?! #GBBO #ChronicallyOnline

I understand that these are dark times that call for courage. But keep in mind I am just a baby

How I react when people ask how I'm feeling since it's Friday but also the world seems to be on fire 😐😿 #art #catart #illustration

The institutional Democratic Party is guided by an almost pathological level of conflict avoidance in almost every direction. “What can we do to make the least number of people mad?” is just a bankrupt way to operate.

Every threat of #FederalShutdown I bring this song out. 18 years of dutiful #FedService! Hopefully this time they actually do it and DON'T BEND THE KNEE FOR FASCISM! #HoldTheLine #DOGECanGetForked #FollowTheMoney cc: @alsobrooks.senate.gov @repjasmine.bsky.social @aoc.bsky.social @coons.senate.gov
