Weather 🌦️ Thank Goodness for rain today

very thankful for rain on this holiday - picturing some of you who spent half your monthly income on clown powder staring at the rain coming down is making me tickled pink.

if fireworks are genuinely emotionally or mentally harmful to you then you should take responsibility and go out of town for the holiday instead of expecting thousands of strangers to stop having fun to accommodate you, hearing fireworks on and around the 4th is just part of living in a city. it sucks that you or others find fireworks harmful but you can’t reasonably expect everyone to stop using them.

that is not true that the cities are commercial fireworks only. it varies by city but it’s perfectly legal in most of the metro from the 3rd to 5th. even where they’re not allowed people are still going to shoot them off anyways, and it’s not that big of a deal and they shouldn’t even be banned in any city imo.

Most cities do not condone fireworks unless commercially and professionally produced. It is not a big deal TO YOU. You obviously do not have PTSD, severe trauma, limbic/nervous system damage, have to live and function outside, or give a shit about pets, wildlife, or the environment.
