Time for a disappointing factoid

Much as I would like the story to be true

The baby yoda wildfire firefighter story isn't true

It was a publicity stunt by Disney themselves

All to promote their show The Mandalorean

It's stuff like this that makes me sick to my stomach

Especially since

There genuinely was an almost identical story unfolding

Only the doll was an old unbranded teddy bear

That had been kept in the family for generations

Disney simply threw it away

And replaced it with their merchandise

Those heartless monsters

Back when the air was recovering from that smoke in 2020. Moody goodness

Shared an essay at Unsettling from a couple years back that remains important to me, in which I talk about some incredible naps I’ve had in public places and the unfortunate escalation of camping bans during an era in which we see sudden and rapid displacement post-disaster. (I’m talking about climate disasters, but we could also include the disaster of the hyper financialization of housing.)

From the piece:

“Many of the campaigns working to overturn these laws use language that focuses on creating sympathy for those experiencing homelessness. There is an attempt to make sure we understand that people are facing structural issues, that it’s not a matter of individual blame. These framings are well-intentioned but miss the bigger picture. Such laws should not be overturned only because those most impacted right now are free of blame or deserving of sympathy. They should be overturned because they criminalize us all.”

Photo below of a tent in a dry riverbed, on a trip where I thought I was legally camping and found out later, maybe not so much. (You can read that story, too, in the essay “Rightfully in the Wrong Place.”)

I've seen a lot of "why didn't they just leave" regarding the Maui fires.

This photo is of a wildfire in Bend, Oregon in 2021. It started at a business and spread into a public forest where there is a large encampment of unhoused people. Oregon has fires every summer and fall, and the fire season is only getting longer. They have dedicated wildfire crews, and notification systems, and people are generally prepared.

Yet, we were scrambling. The people in this photo are (left) a mutual aid organizer, and (right) a county staff member. We had volunteers back in the woods evacuating people and animals from the camps, and we had just decided they needed to evacuate themselves as the fire was spreading rapidly. At about the same time the fire department and wildfire crews were trapped by the fire near where it started. They were able to get out in the end but a firefighter was badly injured and the fire melted a fire truck.

This is how close it is, when everyone is prepared, when everything goes right. Maui does not have specialized crews or notification systems. Maui does not have a fleet of planes and helicopters pre-loaded with fire suppression chemicals ready to take off from a base only 20 miles away.
