I have a list of people I’d like to send there.

No, that would protect them from the mud.

Apparently a fake CDC account started the Ebola rumor on Elon’s app of misinformation according to Forbes.

As someone who has lived through a cat 5 hurricane and didn't have electricity for about a week, I could survive it, but I wouldn't enjoy it.

Katrina took out my power for 11 days in the summer HEAT. I survived but wasn’t happy. I did devour the da Vinci code by candlelight and I luckily had enough batteries for my CD player.

oh man, i had the exact same experience but with a different hurricane that year (hurricane wilma in south florida)

Eh we had better shelter situation and running water (iirc) compared to these people. Plus we always get warning weeks in advance.

Oof. That’s really too bad. Guess I don’t feel too bad about being not able to go to Burning Man for a long time like back in early 2010s ish and see what was the hype all about. Things were way different tho. It must be intense from what I saw on my former roommates’ FB photos tho. It was some craziest shit I’ve ever seen lol. I’m also surprised about orgies there. In the heavy sandstorm dust??? 😬 and now this…

Mess

This. With men who already don’t wash their hands and dicks? Every woman has to get the most excruciating UTI?
