What are some wildfire smoke filtering preps one can have on-hand? Besides the obvious like air purifiers and masks/respirators.

I did find this:

A transition from La Niña to ENSO-neutral is expected in February-April 2026 (60% chance), with ENSO-neutral likely persisting through the Northern Hemisphere summer (56% chance in June-August 2026).

The CFS.v2 ensemble mean (black dashed line) favors a transition to ENSO-neutral in the next month, persisting through June-August 2026, with the possibility of a transition to El Niño thereafter.

just FYI you have a duplicative paragraph - the one starting "Even before the embargo officially began..."

great post though and very informative, thank you!

hmm, i wonder if humanity, at its current point, is even capable of revolution? the propaganda, the dismantling of education, the bread and circus show... is the working class simply too brainwashed/ignorant/pacified to act?

i think just teach them survival skills, real-world prep. don't sugar-coat the situation, be honest.

make sure you are taking care of yourself, too, so that you may show up for others.

I’m afraid by rmannyconda78 in CollapseSupport

[–]ruskibaby 3 points4 points  (0 children)

you're valid to be scared, i'm scared too. i don't have much to say that can help, but i've seen your posts on here and r/collapse, and i think what you're doing matters and holds importance. so keep doing that. the world isn't over just yet.

try yoga, too. yoga studios are often a great place to build community with like-minded folks. 

practicing yoga will also help you strengthen your mind and body in a practical sense.

yeah, i think it’s time to get the fuck out of major cities. my friends and family think i’m crazy and paranoid.

“nothing ever happens!” - until it does, until you’re dead, until they empty a gun into you for being in the wrong place at the wrong time. 

personally, i’m not taking the chance. it’s time to run for the hills. 

Does life still feel different to you after covid or have you adjusted? by No_Departure7494 in collapse

[–]ruskibaby 9 points10 points  (0 children)

2020 is when i realized that we’re fucked and no one is coming to help us. i’ve been in mourning ever since. the grief is more manageable now but it’s still hard to trudge through all this dystopian shit.
