Reading up on the Cascadia independence/secession movement and the thing that kills me is the desire to make May 18th "Cascadia Day" in honor of the eruption of Mt St Helens.

Maybe it's me and having spent my life hearing first hand accounts of the aftermath of the eruption from my parents and family friends (not to mention the hours in both science and local history classes about it), but that just makes me laugh my ass off. Yes, let's celebrate the notion of our independence from the United States and Canada on the day one of our volcanoes fucking exploded and caused a worldwide ecological nightmare. 10/10, no notes
