#putoutthefire

Since it's quite topical, here's a personal project I've been working on. #ClimateStrike #putoutthefire #illustration #Illustrator #illustratrice #linocut https://www.instagram.com/p/B2qsJLbDr-t/?igshid=1vw0pzcer4aet

This is a call to arms. I call on everyone to light a green candle, or any candle you have and see it as they amazon rainforest. Pray to any god or spiritual being you believe in and then put out the flame with water. If you have rainsticks then shake them in honor of the rainforest and call on the rain. For this spell I call upon the element of fire, ignite the anger in the passion of those around the world. I call upon the element of air, carry those voices, those prayers, and those well wishes. from those who give mournful cries for the Amazon forest to any god or deity that will help. I call upon the element of water to bring a healing rain and drench the forest, I beseech you to put out the fire. I called on the element of earth to heal the forest, it’s inhabitants, and strengthen the earth and allow it to heal and recuperate from this travesty. I call upon the element of spirit to move everyone to try and do what they can to help this terrible situation. And I call upon the gods to burn those who set this beautiful planet on fire. #act #amazonrainforestfire these fires are intentional... but we can act with intention as well. If you can’t donate to those groups going to fight the fire then act from where you are! #putoutthefire #wedidntstartthefire but we will put it out. #prayforamazonia #callontheancestors #prayforrain https://www.instagram.com/p/B1g9DaSnGaVvXJYG6PPqcFuHsbPUZBtchYEK3g0/?igshid=d85i2bvejcv7

Current #losangeles forecast #lowwinds #decenthumidity hopefully #mothernature is going to help #putoutthefire

I took the #mannequinchallenge with my @u.s.forestservice friends from the #angelesnationalforest. #PutOutTheFire #smokeybear #wildfire #wildfireprevention #onlyyou (at Angeles Crest National Forest)

Feeling positive right now, feeling like smiling today. Lots of fires got put out yesterday, friends have helped me, better communication with some people, and a new job is waiting for me on Monday. #smiling #update #putoutthefire #helpfromfriends #relationships #positive #positivevibes #positivethinking #

At times the instantaneous reactions are helpful in getting the word out and addressing problems that need to be brought up, social media sometimes blows events out of proportion and pours fuel on a fire that was already raging. Social media I feel has taken an issue that should have been a one time racial issue that was solved and turned it into an era of who can catch the next police officer making a mistake in judgement and turn it into a racial issue, when that may not always be the case.
