Reposting information from the post I shared on my story yesterday from @anarchopuppyism so that once my story disappears you all can still find the info that was shared. Whether you can’t join a protest for health reasons (both mental and physical), age, financial situation or any other other personal reasons you can still help in making a change. One of the easiest ways is to share information on your social media accounts, and if you can do that you can sign petitions, donate, make calls and share resources to your followers, family and friends. It’s 2020, there needs to be changes made to how this country runs. #blacklivesmatter✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿 #dontstaysilent #beapartofthesolution https://www.instagram.com/p/CA6Ss0bAL1t/?igshid=8j5z18ccpu8x

Ash Over a Nation

I was in Wisconsin at the end of this summer (2018), spending time with family-friends and carrying around my camera, as usual. When I arrived it was uncustomarily cold for that time of year, high 50’s and low 60’s. Normally, the average temperature in Wisconsin in August is about 78℉.

My friends live on Lake Winnebago. As we spent some time sitting in their screen porch I watched a hazy overcast steadily stream across the sky and over the lake. You could tell the sun was trying to shine through, (trying to burn up what I thought was precipitation) but the steady cloud stream remained.

Later on, I overheard locals explaining that the foggy atmosphere and low temperatures were unusual. I asked my friend and her family about it, which they then agreed that it was strange and, they assumed, coming from the fires out West.

As an eco-conscious person, this was alarming to hear. As a photographer and storyteller, I was intrigued, especially by the unique, diffused light that was created by the sun struggling to stream through the ash particles. I was compelled to document the semi-apocalyptic looking atmosphere which in turn made me want to educate myself on what was happening to the earth and how it would be affected by these large-scale fires.

Instead of forcing my own opinions on you, I wanted to share the articles that I found most helpful in obtaining some of these answers.

How does the ash drift so far across the nation? | A New York Times article explains this process well. They use a NASA map and video to articulate the density and distance some of the smoke particles traveled. They also explain that the heat from the fires was so hot in recent years the particles were pushed so high that they would get caught in wind patterns that then travel great distances across the nation. Read more about this here.

What caused the fires? | Mainly the rapid pace of climate change, the housing sprawl, and fire agencies struggling to coordinate holistic fire and land management. Check out more here.

Many fires were caused by humans. The Carr Fire last summer was even caused by a flat tire. Read the article here.

What can humans do to help avoid unhealthy wildfires? | Nat Geo has an awesome article about fire safety tips, how to avoid wildfires, and how they’re extremely preventable because they typically occur due to human error. *sigh* To read more click here.

Below are the photos I took to document the hazy atmosphere, the glowing light being diffused throughout the smoke particles and the interesting way the colors appeared in the diffused light.

I hope you enjoy the view -

This post belongs to #Repost @puttingbsltosleep #Repost @animal_advocate_dani • • • • • • It’s officially October! 🎃 You know what that means? It’s #PitBullAwarenessMonth 🐶. I don’t typically refer to my dogs as “Pit Bulls” because something as simple as a label like that can cause them to be discriminated against. My dogs are dogs and whatever “breed” or mix thereof really shouldn’t matter, but unfortunately sometimes it does. There are some locations that will take your well behaved, family dog right out of your home because they’ve been so wrongly mischaracterized. Some insurance companies will refuse to cover you if you have dogs like mine. It happened to me when I bought my house! What did my dogs do wrong? Nothing at all. It had nothing to do with their character or their sweet little souls and everything to do with their appearance. I was told (verbatim), “Just get rid of her, people do it all the time.” (I only had Blueberry at that time) Isn’t that ridiculous?! THIS dog?! Of course I didn’t listen. I dropped those ignorant fools and adopted another “Pit Bull” type dog instead! 🙌🏻 Breed Specific Legislation destroys families and punishes innocent dogs for something they’ve never even done. So please don’t judge a book by it’s cover. Don’t be ignorant. End Breed Specific Legislation. *Spread Love, Ban Hate, endBSL blanket by @nairandbjorn 💚 And swipe 🔙 for our outtakes!
