Really hoping we don't get smothered in wildfire smoke again this year.

It's gonna happen again. The conditions are better for wild fires than last year.

Good time to make sure there are masks stocked in the pantry ready for the summer.

Every since last year I've been sure to watch the PM 2.5 levels outside. I miss not knowing about it and the danger at times!

* All chatrooms are linked together. If you join one room your messages will be copied to the other platforms.

* Matrix is an open source and potentially distributed chat protocol. The matrix room listed is hosted on matrix.org, a somewhat centralized hub for a lot of currently public rooms. Though the protocol itself is free, libre and open source, the deployment of the protocol resembles a centralized service. This may be fixed in the future with the deployment of independent servers.

* Be aware that both Telegram and Discord are centralized proprietary platforms and do not necessarily protect your rights nor privacy while simultaneously giving power to corporations.
