AQI outside vs inside currently. Just setup my old fan filter to see about brining that down. Probably not bad for a leaky 110+ year old house.

I personally am really enjoying how once again half a continent doesn't have clean air to breathe (we're at "safe exposure time: under one minute" where I am) and there is literal CRICKETS 🦗🦗

I don't know why I keep hoping for anything to happen though - maybe I'm not jaded enough yet, so a tiny part of me keeps hoping!? Wished it didn't though. It's getting real frustrating.

Have had an air purifier running all day, cancelled my outdoor plans, and still am developing a headache.

#aqi #smoke

This evening is a great example of the pragmatic uselessness of #EnvironmentCanada's #AQHI scale. It is a 1-10 scale but we've been officially at level "10+" for hours now, versus #EPA #AQI numbers showing steady increase in toxicity across the same period.

My area of the city is now currently pretty close to 300.

The garbage stinking inside after days of such excessive heat I could not manage to take it out from #disability and ongoing #access issues with our new ultra-tiny bin and rando strangers dumping til it is full? I'll be continuing to live with that for the time being as the foulness of the #AirQuality currently far outstrips my ability to clean it after leaving/re-entering my residence.

I just can't manage hours of avoidable coughing right now, especially as it tends to be so harsh that I can both vomit and lose contience.

The EPA numbers are very helpful for estimating personal risk in the moment. The "10+" from EnvironmentCanada? Not so much. 😐

#Hyderabad Delivery Worker Falls Into Drain; Phone Lost, Bike Damaged
I can't shake this out of my head , along with the pain for him , I can't help but see , that he and 10s of 1000s of #gig workers re living their work shift as if they're characters of #videogames risking their lives for real as they rush their bikes on the whims and fake entitlement of overworked #it workers who re in the same poition intellectually and politically and order everything from from #zepto to #zomato in the mindlessly wracked #infrastructure and runined #aqi in name of #develooment propaganda of the current #oligarchy who ve no better lives themselves.
Is this our collective resilience ? Yes.
Does it show our collective consciousness ? No .
Our mindless #consumerism s led us to severe #energycrisis and severely wracked work life balance , where we ve pawned our will and natural lives for the sake of survival and intolerance for others.
We re in serious need of better #civicsense driven demand of a #policyreform
