I have been mentioning the consumer preparations that we are doing to insulate ourselves as much as we can from unpleasant destabilization surprises (food stock, solar, space heaters), but I want to keep stressing that the MOST important preparation is community-building.

In light of everything happening, I wrote about how the KKK in the 1920s felt unstoppable, about the people that fought against them anyway, and about how fascism always fails. dansinker.com/posts/202…

Renewed my library card last night. If you don't have a library card, go get one. It's free and only takes a few minutes. Just bring a photo ID.
Even if you don't plan to use the card, get one. It will help secure funding for the library, and these spaces are about to become more important.

Five images that explain why the LA fires spread so fast
From more vegetation to flying embers, the BBC Earth team look at why the fires in LA have been so intense and why they've grown so rapidly.

Why the fuck is LA so flammable? I’ve never been there so I truly don’t understand. NYC never caught fire every damn year smh. My heart goes out to the people going through it right now but I still don’t understand why hundreds of people lose their homes in LA every time a fire breaks out.

Heads up - get ready for the Trump chaos, the multiple crazy posts/announcements every day. I plan on tuning out of other social media outlets, maybe entirely. Check the headlines once a day to stay current, but otherwise avoid getting overwhelmed with what’s happening.
