My whole life, I've lived in New England: the land of blizzards and ice storms. When there's a storm on the forecast, we prepare. Stock up on bottled water and nonperishables, refill prescriptions that are running low, charge the flashlights and electronic devices, have a stack of blankets on hand, make sure there's fuel in the car and (if you're lucky) generator, restack the indoor wood pile.

Molly White (molly0xfff@hachyderm.io)'s status on Friday, 15-Nov-2024 00:08:28 JST Molly White Sometimes the forecasted storms uneventfully pass by, in which case you're left with a little extra food on hand, some jugs of water for the next storm, and some cozy blankets to snuggle up in.
Anyway, this has been a message to those choosing to mock people who are taking steps to prepare for a Trump presidency.

Nomdeb WILL RESIST (nomdeb@mstdn.social)'s status on Friday, 15-Nov-2024 03:53:55 JST Nomdeb WILL RESIST @molly0xfff this is just like masking. I wear a mask everywhere that I am with people I don’t know and in enclosed spaces. In 10, 15, or more years, I would rather look back at some minor inconvenience that turned out to be unnecessary, than have some bad long-term effects (Viruses can be bastards, for example post polio syndrome), and regret that I did not wear a mask.
