Baby, I Don't Care | Chelsey Minnis
post image

A local business owner called the local TV station to ask them to stop reporting on the wildfire haze and smoke because it's hurting tourism. Yes, he is a supporter of the #fluorescentfascist. This is how entitled they feel. IT'S THE FORKING WEATHER FORECAST!!!

#wdncw #wedonotcarewednesday @dabbe

willaful It's also a major health concern. https://www.nhpr.org/2025-08-04/particle-size-matters-why-wildfire-smoke-is-so-h...

If you're getting wildfire smoke, please use indoor air filters and N95s if you can!

lil1inblue @willaful Yes!!! Thank you for adding that! 4mo
Bookwormjillk What the heck? Isn‘t it obvious once you go outside? 4mo

lil1inblue @Bookwormjillk Exaaaactly. Plus, we had the worst air quality in the nation last week, so it was a NATIONAL news story. 🙄 4mo
LiseWorks We have haze from smoke too! And it's actually part of the weather report. 4mo
Bookwormjillk @lil1inblue I feel it as soon as I wake up and I haven‘t seen a weather report in weeks. So weird. 4mo
lil1inblue @LiseWorks Ours too! Does this man think it will just disappear if the news or weatherman don't report on it? 🙄 4mo
lil1inblue @Bookwormjillk Yeah, my body knows before I even look outside. 4mo
CBee I‘m digging the term, “fluorescent fascist” 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 4mo
AmyG We have it here, too…from Utah, AZ and I think there is a fire in W. Colorado. My poor sinuses…it‘s definitely a healh concern. 4mo
dabbe Best new term: #fluorescentfascist! This reminds me of JAWS: let's not report that a great white is attacking and eating people because of the tourism. Only that movie is FAKE! Some people need to seriously get their heads out of the proverbial sand. 💙✊🏻💙 4mo
kspenmoll OMG- we need to know about the smoke especially for health concerns. Tourists are a financial boon but they do not live here!!!! 4mo
lil1inblue @CBee 🙃🙃🙃✊🏻 4mo
lil1inblue @AmyG I'm going through so many lozenges and eye drops! 🫠🫠🫠 4mo
lil1inblue @dabbe Ooh, I had forgotten about that in Jaws. Excellent comparison! ✊🏻 4mo
lil1inblue @kspenmoll Precisely! And the tourists need to know, too, for their own health! It just reeks of entitlement. 4mo
Susanita 🤦🏻‍♀️ 4mo
AmyG @lil1inblue I bet. I am all into Nasonex. 4mo
ncsufoxes Just because you ignore it, doesn‘t mean it isn‘t happening. 🤦🏼‍♀️ But then again isn‘t that this whole administration. If we don‘t acknowledge (climate change, science,…) then you don‘t need to worry about it. (edited) 4mo
AnnCrystal 👸👏🏼🥺🙏🏼💝. 4mo
Amiable I‘m having trouble differentiating between actual news and The Onion these days. 😖 4mo
lil1inblue @ncsufoxes Right? 🎯 🎯 🎯 4mo
lil1inblue @Amiable Same! And my eyes hurt from the non-stop rolling. 😭 4mo

We do not care that two old friends each cancelled lunch dates this week. Or that the electric bill was humongous. Or that we drove 45 minutes for lunch to a restaurant that was closed on Mondays. Or that we stopped on the way there at our favorite bakery and it was also closed on Mondays. Or that our hair dresser cut our hair too short. Or that our husband left the sprinkler on ALL NIGHT. We could go on and on, as can you, right?

Reggie So on Valentine‘s Day I went to this restaurant that has THE best montechristo I‘ve ever had. When I got there they were out. I drove an hour to Albuquerque for it. It ruined my VDay. lol so this post is close to my heart. lol 5mo

Time for your #wdnc thoughts! 🤩😍🤩

We not care that we made the original mac & cheese and didn't even bother to put it on a plate; we just ate the ENTIRE box straight of the pan. Matt was not at home, so we ate like a glutton and loved it.

jdiehr 😋😂 #noregrets 5mo
TheKidUpstairs I swear it tastes better eating it off the wooden spoon, straight from the pot! 5mo
CatLass007 Dang, I wish I had some macaroni and cheese in the house! It is my favorite comfort food on the planet. You are evil to make me crave this when I don‘t get paid again until the end of the month. 5mo

TheBookgeekFrau I've done that! 5mo
AmyG We do not care that we have done the same thing. 5mo
TheBookHippie @mcctrish 💯💯💯💯 5mo
TheBookHippie @TheKidUpstairs these are facts. 5mo
DGRachel I was just wishing I had a box to make for dinner. I love the fancy homemade stuff, but there‘s too much left over and I end up having to eat it for days. The blue box is perfect for dinner-for-two. 5mo
Eggbeater That's an extra dish you don't have to wash. Good thinking! 5mo
lil1inblue @TheKidUpstairs is right. It tastes better that way! 🤩 This sounds so comforting! 5mo

We do not care that people do not feel comfortable with “politics” It is our right and privilege to vote responsibly and that includes electing officials who work for the common good not the billionaires. We do not care if a book makes you uncomfortable- don‘t read it- and don‘t stop me from reading it. #wdncw

Did Wednesday just become my favorite day of the week? Thanks @dabbe for the prompt! Sincerely, a proud, card-carrying member of the We Do Not Care Club. #WDNCW

Maggie4483 Also, we do not care that “this heat“ is actually only 91 degrees (a cold snap in Texas). Any temperature that doesn't require long sleeves is too hot. 5mo
lil1inblue @Maggie4483 I agree whole-heartedly with this one! 5mo
JenlovesJT47 Sounds like a plan to me!! Too hot today 🥵🥵🥵 5mo
dabbe I fully endorse this #WDNC! 😍😘🤗 5mo

Noir poetry!! Every poem has these immensely quotable lines just thrown in. This is from “Business” but the whole thing is great.

Film noir-influenced poetry. Jaded and cynical but like in a sexy, femme fatale way.
