New post on Substack about Jamaican sign painter Bug Art Sav, who I met back in 2018. The recent hurricane has badly affected the streets and businesses around Savanna-la-Mar where Bug works. He’s asked me to share his story. #Jamaica #westmorland

Black River, Jamaica before the hurricane. I visited back in 2019. Seeing online that many historic buildings have been impacted alongside the devastating effects on the community. #Melissa The impact of climate change is so disproportionate. https://t.co/jJd6wpEZ4U

Hoping for Jamaica this doesn't hit, it must be terrifying for ppl facing this. Current projections seem utterly devasting. Wishing you safe reporting and thanks for sharing
3:30 am. Couldn't sleep. Full-on obsessed. #Hurricane #MELISSA is bombing out in the Caribbean Sea, a beast closing in on #Jamaica. Feeling concerned for the island & its people. Also feeling great personal pressure to properly record & measure what may be a generational event—to
