Hello from Seattle.

It's not raining. This is smoke from California, Oregon, and to a lesser extent, other place in Washington state.

Miss me with your "climate change isn't real" bullshit.

People all over the world have been living with the effects of climate change for years.

Every summer for the last 10+ years, Seattle has had to spend days and days indoors due to poor air quality.

This year is something different.

All you fucking idiots in my mentions talking about Antifa setting fires can fuck all the way off.

Deaths in WA, OR, & CA have increased to at least 17.

500,000 people (10% of the entire population) in Oregon have been evacuated

In January, Kate Brown proposed a wildfire management plan that would treat over 300K acres to prevent wildfire, mandate defensible space around homes, and update building codes.

Republicans killed the legislation with their walkout.

Oh, hi all you assholes who keep talking about "Democrat states" not doing anything to prepare for the fire season.

Fun fact: states have bicameral legislatures as well as executive branches.

Maybe talk to your state GOP reps. #washingtonfires

No, Antifa is not starting fires.
No, Proud Boys are not starting fires.

How fires are being started:

*gender reveal parties
*downed power lines d/t high winds
*arsonists with no political agenda other than to see the world burn

"Antifa is not running through the woods. Those guys don't even want to leave their skateboards. We got fires starting 30 miles out in the woods, and you want to blame Boogaloo and Antifa," said Hiner.

Biden is just ROASTING SCOTUS right now and it is glorious.
This is the best speech Biden has given since he was elected.

Damn, this is good.
Here are the highlights on the executive order on abortion and reproductive health care.

This press conference is a fucking disaster.
He only starts crying when someone asks how *he* is doing. Jesus.
So, the cops didn't go in because they thought all of the kids were already dead?

What the fuck.

1/ Attention fellow sugar addicts:

Today is the soft-open of my new business, Marcenet Mercantile, named after my grandmothers, Marcella and Neta.

(BONUS: Discount code 15PERCENTOFF)

Shown here: home made marshmallows enrobed in Belgian Chocolate.

2/ I won't be posting every day about chocolates or caramel or cookies, but about once a week, I will add things to my store and will post about them. Pictured here: home made caramels in the best Belgian dark chocolate on the market.

3/ If someone told me I'd become a chocolatier in my 50's, I would have said...yeah, that sounds about right. 🤣 When one door shuts, a window opens, which is great unless you get too fat from eating the "mistakes" to fit through a window. ➡️shop.castiron.me/marcenetmercan… ImageImageImageImage

1/ My husband is officially 6 months cancer free, according to last week's bone marrow biopsy.

He had a stem cell transplant for AML last June.

The day he was diagnosed, his white count was 135k. (Normal is between 4k-11k.)
2/He went into respiratory failure, had a heart attack, was put on life support, and as he crashed, I was told his prospects were "not good" by his doctor.

I was told over the phone, because COVID was in full swing on 1/13/21, the day he got sick.

I could not be with him.
3/ To everyone's shock and delight, he woke up 3 days later.

He was in the hospital for 3 weeks, getting his first round of chemo, scared and alone. I was not allowed to be there. Because of COVID.

This was when vaccinations were mostly for people who worked in healthcare.

1/ At the height of the COVID epidemic first wave that hit the original ground zero, Seattle, Washington, my husband volunteered to work as an ICU doctor instead of seeing patients virtually in his practice. We took a large financial hit, but it was 100% worth it...
2/ Later that year, he was diagnosed with AML, a type of cancer that nearly killed him the same day he was diagnosed. I couldn't be with him while he was hospitalized because of COVID. I couldn't be with him while he underwent treatment because of COVID...
3/ I stupidly thought that once vaccines were available, we were going to be able to breathe a sigh of relief while the rate of infection decreased. I thought we'd be able to see our kids again without worrying about him getting COVID.
