LA Public Library has a great list of resources including mutual aid for the fires.

Telling myself that this is metaphorical and not some boomer taken in by the AI images of the Hollywood sign burning to keep myself from going on an unhinged rant about the exact location of Hollywood, the Hollywood sign, and the fires.

The 56-year-old was suspended by the club in 2021 for performing a fascist salute at the end of a match against Inter Milan.

Bernabe was filmed making the salute and chanting “duce, duce”, which translates as “leader, leader” and is commonly associated with former fascist Italian leader Benito Mussolini.

“I did it and I don’t regret it because I admire Mussolini, he did great things for Italy as Franco did for Spain,” Bernabe said in 2021.

They fire him for showing his dick online and not for being openly fascist at one of the games they invited him to be at in an official capacity… oh, football culture.

The screencap in the article looks pretty dark to me? Is there something that needs to be dark that the example pic doesn’t show? Asking as someone that turns everything to dark mode.

Always check what the manual says to do. If you don’t have it it’s almost certainly uploaded somewhere.

Pick up some Tajín at the grocery store and sprinkle it on your watermelon, if you want even more flavor!

Honestly “modern healthcare” was pushing it for a lot of them even when they were open, due to decades of cuts and lack of investment. The (now closed) hospital that was in the rural community I grew up in had a reputation for being a place you went if you had no other choice, or it was a very minor emergency even they couldn’t fuck up. My parents floored it to the nearest city (40 minute drive) every time my mom went into labor, despite the local hospital being maybe 15 minutes away max if you drove the speed limit.

Rural hospitals have been getting shut down for years now due to it not being a great money maker, it’s the same reason rural Americans wouldn’t have to their door mail access without it being included in the Constitution.

Even without taking population density into account, access is only going to get worse when hospitals keep shuttering.

Why is it so important for you for it to be her fault and only hers? If it’s so obvious that it’s made of nuts why would the person who gave it to her say it wasn’t? If it’s so stupid to leave that no rational human being would ever consider it why would the school let her do it?

You’re talking about a minor. If it was so stupid for her to do this stuff, then every other person and adult involved was at least as stupid or worse.

Like, yeah, if you have a life threatening allergy you should be appropriately cautious. Schools also should never have “just let them leave” to be anywhere near their list of medical emergency responses to begin with. And you shouldn’t feed someone with food allergies something if you aren’t positive what the ingredients are. Multiple people can do things wrong in a way that results in someone’s death.

Gracias, México… We will try to not let someone fly a drone into the plane like what happened with the Canadians’ 😬

Are they though? Or maybe they are also victims of global warming who, when their islands flooded, or their homes burned, watched some of these folk continue to lead lifestyles that are incredibly damaging to the environment.

Yeah, I’m sure this is all people whose islands have flooded boosting the criticism of overconsumption and not conservatives going on their regular California hate. 🙄

Do you even know there are two fires in two different LA communities burning right now? Could you point out where Altadena is on a map before last week? Do you know anything about how that is mostly a racially diverse middle class neighborhood that was one of the few areas in LA that WASN’T historically redlined, and one of the only places black people could actually build up equity instead paying a landlord until they die? People who are, as we speak, having images of them fleeing for their lives with what they can carry spread around and being called LOOTERS by the people you are falling over yourself to defend with their shitty, horrible treatment of people living through an active disaster?

If you don’t know any of this don’t you dare lecture me on the complexity of this. Jesus Christ.

Anyone who wants to go up to people in an active (the fires are still burning! People still are under evacuation orders!) global warming-caused natural disaster and say “I told you so” is, at best, a sociopath.

Anyone who hasn’t been outside in ash coming down like snow and seen FEMA at their local libraries can shut the fuck up and kiss my fucking ass.

Just be very sure you trust the list owner, as some have already started doing shit like turning them into grudge lists once a bunch of people subscribe, using lists that are popular for leftist reasons to mass add trans people without subscribers knowing, etc. I think Bluesky has been cracking down on that sort of thing, but it’s also something they can only act on once they know about it.

@rahaeli.bsky.social is an old school trust and safety worker/Dreamwidth admin who also runs an excellent collection of lists of inauthentic accounts.

You can go full passive humidification with terracotta, if that’s something you’re interested in. You just need a bowl, pan, dish, or other item that can hold water, and then place the terracotta on top of it. Cheapo terracotta pots work fine, they just have to be in contact with water but not fully submersed. The more surface area exposed to air, the more it will evaporate water into the air. You can put tap water in that all day long and while it might get mineral build up, it’s not going into the air.

You can achieve the same thing with a very wet towel hung up to dry if you really need it; that’s what we’re doing right now, and it’s amazing how quickly it brings it the humidity back up.

Sound, definitely at times. More commonly when outside sounds (traffic, construction, etc) get incorporated into my dream. I feel like sometimes I experience knowledge of sound in my dreams (responding to things that would require hearing it in IRL, like speaking) but don’t actually remember hearing anything, because dream logic.

Smell is more rare in my dreams, and I don’t think I’ve ever experienced any very lovely smells in my dreams. But I have smelled a horrible rotting smell in my dreams before.

Yeah, it sounds like he is responsible probably for the Kenneth fire, which started after the winds had died down a bit. Still enough wind to kick it off (regular 20 mph gusts), but it wasn’t hurricane force winds like Tuesday when the Palisades and Eaton fires started. I’m skeptical that any arsonist is fire happy enough to also get clonked in the head by flying debris.

Any spark that wasn’t dealt with immediately during Santa Ana’s that severe (60-100 mph gusts, constant wind around 40 mph), and during a severe drought, AND with humidity below 20% was going to blow up.

It is wonky that it happened in January, because historically that’s when we’re getting rain, but that hasn’t happened this water year. For all practical purposes we’re still in the dry season.
