So, for those who don’t know, California is burning again. A fire sparked Thursday morning up near Chico, was 8,000 acres by midday (when I walked out of my office to go get lunch, took one breath, looked up, and went “oh shit, how close is it this time?” because of how thick the smoke was), almost 20,000 acres by that night, and as of this morning was nearing 100,000 acres. It’s only about 5% contained last I looked. There are nine confirmed fatalities, 35 people missing still. The town of Paradise, population a bit under 30k, is just…gone. Like, the whole town. 90% of the structures in that town were destroyed. The fire came through so fast, people had to abandon their cars on the gridlocked streets and run for it on foot. I’ve heard that this is the most destructive wildfire in California history. It’s Really Bad - worse even than the Sonoma fires last year.
And guess what the fucking fascist occupying the fucking White House said today?
First of all: Our forested land? More than half of it is under management of the fucking Feds, not state agencies. We don’t GET to manage SHIT, you towering lump of human excrement. If mismanagement is the problem, look to your own, except that you seem to like that kind of incompetence so you’d probably praise them for it.
Second: You probably don’t know this, because you haven’t heard it on Fox and Friends and we all know that’s your only source of education, but California is one of the 13 “net payer” states that fucking subsidizes the rest of this fucking country. On average, most states get back about $1.20 per dollar of taxes paid to the feds. This is only possible because of states like California, who actually pay MORE to you useless fucks than you send back our way. So don’t you fucking dare act like you’re pouring money into us out of the goodness of whatever passes for your “heart”, giving you any right to judge what gets done with it. That flow goes the other fucking way.
Third: You ignorant, lying sack of assholes, shut that fucking prolapsed anus on your face masquerading as a mouth. Wildfires will always happen, to some extent, in a climate that’s as dry as ours. But they’ve definitely gotten worse within my lifetime, and it’s accelerated over the last few years, and you wanna know why? It’s because of you and your fucking cronies who have gleefully driven the global climate into the ground. It’s a coastal desert, sure, but our regular droughts have gotten worse and worse, rain comes later and later and stops sooner and sooner each year, setting the stage for red-flag fire conditions that take what should have been a small blaze, quickly contained, and whip it into a monstrous disaster consuming WHOLE. FUCKING. CITIES. And that? Is LITERALLY YOUR FUCKING FAULT.
I am sitting here in tears, shaking and ready to throw up from the force of my suppressed, futile, useless rage. People have DIED, you fucking cunt. A whole fucking town that was here two days ago is GONE. Just fucking gone! The whole town is gone, do you understand that? The survivors have lost EVERYTHING.
And your first response is to sit there and smugly tweet these lies and that victim-blaming horseshit? You’re going to sit there and try to make this about the money? Take this opportunity to try to kick us while we’re down, because you’re a bitter soulless creature who can’t pass up a chance to put the boots in when you see someone who’s defied you in a moment of vulnerability?
I am personally going to throw the biggest fucking block party in history when you finally fall off the face of this planet. We will plaster the buildings with huge posters of your least-flattering photos and most humiliating moments. There will be an effigy that everyone is invited to come piss on. Bring your dogs, have them piss on it too! Prizes for getting your aim closest to the mouth or eyes!
And I’ve reblogged stuff saying this before, but it bears repeating again:
IF YOU VOTED FOR TRONALD DUMP
IF YOU SUPPORTED HIM
IF YOU LOOKED THE OTHER WAY WHILE YOUR FRIENDS SUPPORTED HIM
IF YOU “VOTED YOUR CONSCIENCE” BY STAYING HOME THAT DAY AND ALLOWING THIS TO HAPPEN
GET. THE FUCK. OUT.
Unfollow me right the fuck now. I don’t care if you’re a mutual since the day I started this blog. Get out. Go. I cannot sit here, smelling smoke even through my closed doors and windows, that bastard’s words in front of me, and find it anywhere in my heart to forgive you for what you’ve caused. Even if you’ve changed your mind since then. That’s cool, I guess, but take your shame and your changed ways somewhere else, away from me.
“Why is it that you never come into my house unless I invite you?” “Um, it’s called ‘being polite’…?”
“I tried cooking with garlic the other night and got this serious burn on my hand. I think I’m allergic, but all I’m getting on Google is vampire bullshit.”
“Dude can a mirror like… stop working or something?”
“Dude, why do you keep posting pictures of the floor?” “…Those are meant to be selfies, I guess my camera must be broken.”
“Dude, I am all for you expressing your religious beliefs, but could you not wear your crucifix when I’m around? It really bugs me for some reason.”
“Have you ever noticed how cute bats are? like really noticed? sweet lil balls of fluff with wings man.”
“I want to sleep in a coffin…ya kno, for like… aesthetic”
“What’s with your thing about necks lately?”
“MUST YOU KINKSHAME ME IN MY OWN HOME”
“I looked up my symptoms on WebMD, and it says I have cancer.”
