Incredible convo on Reddit between a British person & American:
🇺🇸: Here, if a parked car hasn't moved from a street for two weeks, it gets towed.
🇬🇧: That's crazy, what if someone goes on holiday for 3 weeks and has parked legally outside their house?
🇺🇸: Holiday for 3 weeks, that's a good one.

Husband: Holy sh*t, do not bring those into our home, too dangerous.
Love GS, but, sadly, agreed. I cannot trust myself with a 20oz bag that funnels Thin Mints into my mouth like a sad woman's beer bong. You don't need to make thin mints bite-sized. I can already fit a whole cookie in my mouth.

Very comforting to see the old LA earthquake Twitter community made it over to BlueSky. Especially since the apps / sites I was looking were not showing any earthquakes yet. Was starting to wonder if it was all in my head 😬
Felt it on the westside. Didn’t like it.

A little positive news: after 2 years of my chronic illness and subsequent debilitating cough, 1 surgery, many meds and inhalers that all didn’t work… I completed my first indoor cycling class… pretty much the only intense workout that I love to do.

It was a gift to connect with USC’s @galesinatra.bsky.social about losing her home to the Eaton Fire. I wrote this @businessinsider.com piece based on our convo.
For those who don’t know the fire’s timeline, it’s shocking. Went from 0-200 acres in 75 mins.

I lost my home to the Altadena wildfires. These are the logistics I never even considered until my entire neighborhood disappeared.
Gale Sinatra, a USC professor, lost her home in Altadena to the Eaton Fire. She's struggled to fill prescriptions and doesn't have access to her mail.

Incredulous, as I saw a post saying businesses should not use 🔥 emojis in marketing. As a lifelong Californian who has suffered from wildfires, we don’t need yall to not use emojis. We need the 100 businesses responsible for 71% of Earth’s carbon emissions to take responsibility for global warming.

Need help promoting this — anybody know someone with a large following willing to share on Instagram? I've sent to MutualAid and some local FB groups, but I've largely been off social media for over a year and don't really know who the tastemakers are! lol

Some positive news.. enjoyed seeing Tamworth hold their own against Tottenham for a solid 90 minutes. Great club! Thanks for proving a space to play and being so welcoming. I hope the Lambs had fun and are the talk of the town at their jobs tomorrow. Well-deserved.

I grew up partly in Los Angeles (Brentwood) and partly Upper Ojai, California — the brushy, rural backcountry up in the mountains. We had about an acre of land and an animal rescue ranch. My street backed up to a mountain and the area was very fire prone.

I haven’t posted on here, but we lost our home in the Eaton Fire. We’re safe & the dogs are safe. For anyone looking for a way to help, I've launched a GoFundMe. This will help replace my personal copies & inventory of my comics I've written.
One step at a time. Love you all. ❤️

I’m actually laughing out loud about Biden announcing the birth of his great granddaughter DURING the LA fire briefing, in front of a map showing 22,000+ acres engulfed in flames… and everyone clapping.
You really can’t make this up.
My mom used to say, “if we weren’t laughing, we’d be crying!”

Me when I realized it’s January 3 and I have not completed a single house project on my winter sabbatical list.
Oh, my 2024 self, you were so foolishly ambitious with your 10+ multi-day projects. Keep that hope up in 2025.

Happy New Year! It’s been a difficult year mentally, and I sadly neglected some plant babies, both indoor & outdoor. Then, our roofers badly damaged some of my favorites, including some palms, monstera, & birds of paradise. 😭
But it’s okay because they gave us a $40 Chili’s gift card. 🫠 (1/2)
