Still working on getting everything that's currently in the Wildfire Smoke Resources doc onto the website, but I'm almost finished! Everything I have for #Canada has already been added. https://wildfiresmokeresources.neocities.org/ If you have information or resources you would like to share--anything like info about a local mask bloc in North America, a clean air program your city government runs, a safe location with a good HVAC system where people can get out of smoky air, or even things like tree-planting programs and more long-term ways to locally combat climate change and improve air quality, please feel free to share it with me either here on Mastodon or via this Cryptpad form: https://cryptpad.fr/form/#/3/form/view/03ab8efd32850a3d5d5c376d39ed0284/ I'll add the information to both the doc and the site as soon as I can. #Wildfire #WildfireSeason #CanadianWildfires #PNWWildfires #PNW #UnitedStates #MaskBloc #MaskUp #YallMasking #StillMasking #ClimateChange #Solarpunk #MutualAid #SmokyAir #CleanAir ##TurtleIsland #NorthAmerica #NaturalDisaster

Stop calling them the #canadianwildfires These are fires caused by American-led global inaction on #climate change Canada did not ask for them. Canada did not cause them. But Canada is paying for them. We are stretched thin picking up after our lazy neighbors. if only the US would take this moment as a wake up call to pick up their damn trash. But instead of realizing.they need to about face on.climate as the result is literally hitting them in the face, American governors are blaming Canada for a problem we didn't cause and are unable, single-handedly to resolve at its root.

This is really bare bones because I haven't done the usual outreach I do to get it updated, but I have a Wildfire Smoke Resources doc for the US (I would like to expand it to Canada but I'd need help!) where you can get information about where to find free masks, air filters and air purifiers, and safe places to go to get out of smoky air, as well as general resources about wildfire smoke and how to protect yourself: https://cryptpad.fr/pad/#/2/pad/view/4Mi5umUBZUCSIt7qA6kMSiZK5ZoTntWUlSXkJ9y1ZhU/ If you have a mask block or other resource for free masks or clean air in your area, let me know! You can message me here or use the form that's linked in the doc. tagspam below #Wildfire #Wildfires #WildfireSmoke #ClimateChange #Solarpunk #Canada #CanadianWildfires #MaskBloc #CleanAir #AirPollution #MaskUp #StillMasking #YallMasking

Just got home from my non fiction writing workshop. I’m coughing and it feels like there’s a gritty powder lodged in my throat from the atmosphere, which smells like an ashtray. I can only imagine what it must be like in Detroit right now, which apparently has the worst air quality of any major city on the planet right now. #canadianwildfires #smoke #aqi

Canadian #wildfire smoke turns air hazardous in the US #Midwest. Officials say stay inside By TAMMY WEBBER and PHILIP MARCELO, July 16, 2026 NEW YORK (AP) — "Heavy, pungent smoke from #CanadianWildfires darkened skies in the U.S. on Thursday from the #GreatLakes to parts of the #EastCoast, reducing visibility for commuters and prompting warnings that air quality could make being outside dangerous. "#Detroit’s air quality was among the worst in the world for major cities, as a lingering high pressure system trapped smoke from dozens of fires in Canada and northern Minnesota, said Steven Freitag, a National Weather Service meteorologist in Pontiac, Michigan. " 'Sure enough, it arrived in force here and it’s really pretty extreme levels,' said Freitag, who noted that visibility in some areas was reduced to a half mile. "Omar Mitchell wore a mask as he walked to his restaurant in Detroit. He said he urged his employees to do the same. " 'It’s scary,' Mitchell, 50, said as he looked at the sky. 'You don’t know necessarily what the side effects may be. That’s days or months later.' "Cities across the Great Lakes states registered air quality ranging from unhealthy to hazardous — which means it’s unhealthy for anyone, regardless of health conditions. Microscopic particles can lodge deep in the lungs and enter the bloodstream, leading to heart and lung problems and contributing to other long-term health issues. "All of #Michigan and much of #Minnesota were under a hazardous #AirQualityAlert. In the Chicago area, air quality ranged from very unhealthy to hazardous. "National Weather Service meteorologist Jake Petr said even if winds from the northwest clear skies as expected later this week, the smoky air could keep returning until the fires are out. That could take weeks or longer. " 'Anytime we have something that could bring air from that region until the fires are over, it could conceivably dip back into the area,' Petr said. "In #SaintPaulMN, the air was 'glowing yellow,' said Brent Williams, head of the soil, water and climate department at the University of Minnesota, who said the area 'could be looking at weeks to months of continued smoke and flare-ups off and on as the winds blow in different directions.' "A study published this year found that long-term exposure to tiny particles from wildfire smoke contributed to an average of 24,100 deaths a year in the lower 48 states. Long-term exposure can make existing health problems worse and lead to a range of chronic and deadly health issues, including respiratory illness, cardiovascular and neurological diseases, and premature death." https://apnews.com/article/canada-wildfires-smoke-us-ae4b2bd09a97919a081e26ede6a6d355 #CRBox #AirQuality #WildfireSmoke #AQI #HEPAFilters #CorsiRosenthalBox #AirCleaners #Masks #ParticulateMatter #RespiratorMasks #StayIndoors #ThanksBigOil

Just stepped outside. Air smells faintly smoky. There’s a heat advisory and Twitter feels like it’s 96 degrees Fahrenheit. The birds are squawking. They don’t sound happy. I worry about the tender lungs of the newborn fawns running around our leafy New Jersey neighborhood looking for cool water to drink. #climatecrisis #canadianwildfires #smokyair
