I can personally vouch for this fundraiser. This is a kidlit member who is so generous, so beloved, and very much in need - they’ve helped me and I adore them. Please please donate if you can. 💖
Hi, all. I can’t share details because of the ongoing threat to this person’s safety, but if you are able to donate or boost, it would mean so much to me. This is for someone I care deeply about. ❤️ gofund.me/ad37902a

#STAYinLA wants to hear from people of all walks of life who have been affected by the lack of production in Los Angeles. If you're willing, please share your story as we fight to bring production back to our great city!

Between Los Angeles burning (literally), America burning (figuratively), norovirus taking my family down, a brutal book deadline (met! submitted! exhausted!), a family’s member’s heart attack yesterday, and a postponed business trip today, January has felt like ten thousand years.

Wash your hands was once controversial medical advice.

Lead in paint and gas was the norm.

The Clean Water Act didn't pass until 1972.

With wildfires, smoke, pollution and pandemics part of our reality, we need a national push for clean indoor air & high-quality filtration standards.

Another very underfunded GoFundMe to consider:

My babysitter's friend, who evacuated with her children, including a disabled child who couldn't bring her special wheelchair.

They are rebuilding from scratch and lost everything. Every little bit helps. ❤️

Saw a man in the toy aisle of Target yesterday who looked like he'd survived the apocalypse: grief etched into every line of his face.

LA's in a weird place. Fires spreading, winds shifting, evac orders lifting in one area as phones blare with alarms in others.

Life goes on, tentative but fragile.

If you are looking for a GoFundMe which has barely received any love, please consider my babysitter’s friend.

While her boyfriend was busy saving animals (most were saved thanks to their hard work!), their home burned down and all their belongings were destroyed. 💔

As we move into a future with extreme climate disasters, income inequality, AI-driven sector soft-collapse, housing instability, and an aging boomer care crisis, I can’t stop thinking about how COMMUNITY is more important than ever.

For the next decade. For the next 20 years. For our lifetimes.

Remember that amazing What If...? episode where Strange lost his heart instead of his hands? Dark Strange? A.C. wrote that. If you have the means to toss some money in the hat to help her and her daughter rebuild, that would be rad of you.
If you’re inclined #MCU fans, #WhatIf S1&2 EP A.C. Bradley lost her home in the Eaton Fire. She’s a single mom who put her life savings into her home. Small amounts help. There are so many of these GoFundMe’s, post fires & it’s heartbreaking. Please share www.gofundme.com/f/help-ashle...

If purifiers near you in LA are sold out, this is a good opportunity to get a discounted one faster than am*zon can ship it
Due to the poor air quality and purifier shortages in Southern California right now, we're opening our CA warehouse doors so people can get clean air gear as quickly as possible.

Occasional reminder that there’s no, “it’s too late, its over” for anthropogenic climate change. Every molecule of CO2 that doesn’t go into the atmosphere makes a difference. Preventing 0.1 degree of warming makes a difference. Every bit of climate resilience we build together makes a difference.

One million seconds is 11.5 days.

One billion seconds is 31 years.

429 billion seconds is 13,603 years.

Now substitute the word ‘seconds’ for ‘dollars.’
