💥 Fireworks! Wow! Shiny!💥
“The loud noises, bright flashes, and pungent scent of gunpowder that accompany fireworks can be a trigger for people who have served in the military, are refugees of war, participated in protests, or survived a natural disaster … For some, these aerial explosions can trigger a full-body response, ranging from heightened anxiety to complete dissociation and hallucinations.”

@aral Not to mention terrify pets triggering flight responses, terrorizing wildlife triggering abandonment of nests and pups etc etc... ffs we don't need the noise. They exist in silent versions, not to mention with spectacular drones.

@nemobis Oh, no, but I’m watching the tragedy unfolding there in horror like everyone else.

@VeroniqueB99 @aral I have a jackass neighbor that sets them off all summer. In the street. In front of our house.
They’re not even legal here. Such an asshole.

@cferdinandi @VeroniqueB99 Fact checked and can confirm that yes, he sure is.

@VeroniqueB99 @aral What I absolutely hate about fireworks is that we MAKE them loud. They don't have to be. https://soundproofpanda.com/silent-fireworks/
