My whole life, I've lived in New England: the land of blizzards and ice storms. When there's a storm on the forecast, we prepare. Stock up on bottled water and nonperishables, refill prescriptions that are running low, charge the flashlights and electronic devices, have a stack of blankets on hand, make sure there's fuel in the car and (if you're lucky) generator, restack the indoor wood pile. 1/3

I like the way you think, Molly! I grew up in New England, too. When I lived in Colorado, I did search & rescue. I was prepared for anything at any time. Now that I live in Kyiv, Ukraine, where who knows what’s going to happen from day to day, being prepared for anything is always foremost in my mind. On every trip for groceries, I always buy a couple of non-perishable items. I’m always well-stocked with water and toilet paper and first aid supplies. And now, for the impending 💩 storm, I’m prepping by expanding my monthly financial support of various eye-of-the-storm organizations ten-fold: from reproductive rights to migrant rights to LGBTQ rights to online security and honest journalism, I’m investing like never before. I’m psyched for the battle and thrilled to be in such excellent company!
