I know trauma is one of the words that the internet is in danger of diluting beyond all meaning, but I think we really don’t understand or at least talk about as a society how traumatic being affected by wildfire is, even for people who don’t lose their homes

#fires //#this probably sounds like a niche post but I worry it's going to impact more and more people as western states #continue to resist high-density housing #anyways a really good friend/mentor of mine whose family was temporarily displaced by the m. fire just announced they are leaving #to move closer to family back east and explicitly mentioned the fire as what prompted the decision #(among other things) and I'm just so sad #of all the things that happened here in 2020-2021 including an actual pandemic and a mass shooting #I think the fires were what got to me most
