Ok I have to ask based on your header-- who do you think is the world's #1 worst lesbian?
OK SO! the “worlds second worst lesbian” thing is an injoke that started with my dear friend @seafairloser . we were once hanging out and I joked that I was the worlds worst lesbian - he corrected me that i would have to settle for second because the worlds worst is jenny durkan ex mayor of seattle aka teargas jenny
at this point though our friends have made many many suggestions for who should be the worlds worst including Ellen, our friend Tate (shoutout @theunabomber2), and tons other people LOL . so the joke is less about who’s the worst and moreso that I’m just perpetually stuck in second

What was the first sword/axe/ armor you ever made? Do you think you will ever do any work blacksmithing? Who are also some interesting blacksmiths to follow?
Tumblr media
I think this helmet and pauldron were the first. They're just mild steel and probably count more as sculptural blacksmithing than real armor. If you're interested in cool blacksmithing stuff look up Ellen Durkan and Willow Zietman.

Wildfire Smoke Brings Worst Air Quality to Portland, Seattle
Smoke pollution from wildfires raging in California and across the Pacific Northwest worsened in San Francisco, Seattle and Portland, Oregon, on Friday, giving those cities and others in the region some of the world's worst air quality.
Public health officials warned residents to keep indoors with the windows shut, to set air conditioners to run on recirculated air instead of fresh, and to use air purifiers if they had them. Meanwhile, they wrestled with whether to open "smoke shelters" for homeless people or others lacking access to clean air amid the COVID-19 pandemic and concerns about herding people indoors.
"The same population that is most vulnerable to the virus is also most vulnerable to the smoke," Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan said during a news conference.
Winds shift
The sky turned a hazy, grayish white across the Northwest as winds that had previously pushed much of the smoke offshore shifted, bringing unhealthy levels of near-microscopic dust, soot and ash particles to Portland, Seattle and Vancouver, British Columbia. San Francisco also continued to suffer from smoke pollution; those four cities topped the list of major cities with the worst air quality Friday, according to IQAir.com, which tracks air quality around the world.
The particles are small enough that they can penetrate deep into the lungs, and health effects can include chest pain, arrhythmia and bronchitis. Those with preexisting conditions such as heart and lung disease or asthma are especially at risk.
FILE - Under darkened skies from wildfire smoke, a jogger makes his way along McCovey Cove outside Oracle Park, Sept. 9, 2020, in San Francisco.
The smoke was expected to linger through the weekend, another reminder of the vast and severe effects of climate change. In a news conference Friday, Washington Governor Jay Inslee insisted on calling the blazes "climate fires" rather than wildfires.
"This is not an act of God," Inslee said. "This has happened because we have changed the climate of the state of Washington in dramatic ways."
Seattle ordered parks, beaches and boat ramps closed through one of the last hot weekends of the summer to discourage outdoor recreation, and officials were opening a clean-air shelter Friday afternoon that can hold 77 people. The facility, which had been set up as an overflow COVID-19 care facility, is large enough to allow for social distancing, they said.
'Weather relief centers'
San Francisco officials were also opening "weather relief centers" that will stay open through the weekend, said Mary Ellen Carroll, director of the city's Department of Emergency Management. City buses were free for everyone so those who need to can reach the centers.
Much of California was covered by a thick layer of smoke being pumped into the air by dozens of raging wildfires. In San Francisco, the gray air smelled of burned wood and visibility was clouded by "very unhealthy" air, according to the Bay Area Air Quality District.
Residents were also asked to avoid activities that could further degrade the air quality, including unnecessary driving, lawn mowing and barbecuing.
Working in University Place, a Tacoma suburb, Washington state Department of Ecology spokesman Andy Wineke said the smoke had obliterated his typical view of the Olympic Mountains.
"I can barely see my neighbor," he said.
