    You have a sensor in your house?
    Aaron Parecki
    Yeah! I got it last year but never actually hooked it up. Seemed like an appropriate time.

    Can you actually smell the smoke in your apartment at those levels? Or is it still “invisible”?
    Aaron Parecki
    Definitely a campfire smell, but at this point I could just be desensitized to it also. I have a feeling that it's pretty strong compared to clean air, I just don't have clean air to compare it to right now.

    Yeah same. Like, why bother if there is nothing we can do about it?
    Aaron Parecki
    It's reassuring to know that there's a real reason I've been unable to sleep well and having trouble concentrating.

    Imagine going back in time one year and showing people this picture of a stadium full of cardboard fans and a sky of orange.

    The year is 2020. Ash has blocked out the sun. My friends are evacuating out of fire zones. Pants are a distant memory. A podcaster asks me over Zoom, “So what’s it like to be a woman in tech?”

    Yikes! Is https://www.airnow.gov an accurate indicator of air quality? If so, ours is pretty good!

    I just want to see the sky again 😭

    I saw someone on here say they lived through a wildfire and now their signal for leaving is when birds start falling out of the sky dead, and instead of thinking "my god, this is horrific" I thought "dead birds, good, I'll check for that"

    Air filter duct tape trash bag fan
    Aaron Parecki
    That implies I have an air filter lying around. Believe me if there was one anywhere nearby in this town I would have done this already.

    If the entire East Coast looked like Mordor outside and it smelled like a barbecue every time you left your house we would not stop hearing the end of it. I don’t know if people not on the West Coast understand how bad it is

    Uh, not super sealed. 172 AQI is still utter shite. You need a filter, man.
    Aaron Parecki
    Well the hallway is like 240 so...

    That’s cool. And you need better filters. How are you scrubbing internal air? Now I’m really curious what the AQI is in my house and studio!!
    Aaron Parecki
    I need filters at all! Just running the AC right now, but the exterior windows are super sealed and the apartment hallway air is filtered
