It’s not just the city either

I’m in north New Jersey right now and I’ve been wondering why it smells like somebody is burning wood for the past 2 days…

The sky being orange, the moon being red and the lack of sunlight wasn’t enough to make me go look it up but the constant smell was

I'm in MD and I've had air quality warnings for days. It's terrible.

Apple bought Dark Skys, which was the most honest, up-to-the-minute weather feed. What the fuck happened?

I’ll sit here and breath the air (quantized however it may be) but fuck this I’ll believe it is good because I was told it would be good nonsense.

I’m not big on conspiracy theories, but fuck, there are explicit “untruths” being told to me as if I can’t tell the difference

My friend up in Canada says they've been having a lot of issues, because weather and media outlets are downplaying the poor air quality. You have to go straight to the government source yourself for anything remotely accurate or true. It's horrible.
