#it's a power outage

[nyagosstar]

There are two things that can wake me from a dead sleep:

1) the sound of my cat having found and now eating illicit and delicious plastic

2) loss of electricity

I've had some interesting conversations about this subject recently (representing perspectives ranging from "losing electricity is a thing that happens???" to "eh, where I'm from we used to have power outages lasting weeks at a time, frequently"), so am just curious what a larger sample might have to reveal!

If you wish to share any details about where you live/your living situation in the notes (country, region, urban, rural, apartment, mobile home, etc.), or the frequency of power outages (regardless of length) for you, feel free.

U.S. blockade of Cuba causes electricity system to collapse due to lack of stable fuel supply

On Sunday, Oct. 20, Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel pointed directly at the blockade policy of the United States government as the fundamental cause of the national collapse of the National Electric Power System (SEN) over the past few days. It is not complicated and it is not rhetoric that Cuba’s lack of a stable supply of fuel is because of the threats of fines that the US government through its Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) has levied on banks, shipping companies and any other enterprise attempting to trade with Cuba.

Wade forces Logan to reenact The Greatest Showman with him, except Logan doesn’t get to be Hugh Jackman. Wade plays Hugh Jackman, and Logan plays every other character.

Athar Abo Rabea, who from her profile appears to be a doctor, shared this hack for keeping water cool. Refrigeration is not available in tents and people have had to come up with creative ways of staying cool.

Athar also has a Go Fund Me, which you can view here.

Available Go Fund Me campaigns for people whose stories have been shared on watermelllonarchive can be found in the resources post.
