Everyone in LA is sharing this story on insta, and I just want to make sure non-Angelenos know about this bear that crawled under a house during the fires. He had to be lured out with rotisserie chickens. Read it. You deserve a little treat.
Just got this tip from an airline pilot
A space heater facing off against a stuffed bear. They are much too close to one another. Hovering over them is a vast fire entity with the face of a dragon waiting for a fire to spark. The text reads: meow mow mow meow mowmow. mow mow meowmow mow 1 meter. hiss. mow mow, mow, meow, meow, mow, meow. mow meow.
Here is the version for your cat.
A space heater facing off against a stuffed bear. They are much too close to one another. Hovering over them is a vast fire entity with the face of a dragon waiting for a fire to spark. The text reads: your space heater needs space. Keep your space heater at least 3 feet away from anything flammable including beds, blankets, toys, and pillows.
Space! At least 3 feet.
Post from John Perricone 3d • Several years ago l invited a Buddhist monk to speak to my Senior elective class, and quite interestingly, as he entered the room, he didn't say a word (that caught everyone's attention). He just walked to the board and wrote this: "EVERYONE WANTS TO SAVE THE WORLD, BUT NO ONE WANTS TO HELP MOM DO THE DISHES." We all laughed. But then he went on to say this to my students: "Statistically, it's highly unlikely that any of you will ever have the opportunity to run into a burning orphanage and rescue an infant. But, in the smallest gesture of kindness -- a warm smile, holding the door for the person behind you, shoveling the driveway of the elderly person next door -- you have committed an act of immeasurable profundity, because to each of us, our life is our universe."
Been thinking about this a lot (not tagging the sender, for their privacy). Most of us won't have the chance for for grand, capital-R Resistance heroics. But every one of us will have a thousand small choices to make about how to live our lives and where to draw lines. Use them well.
Did You Know? Most Januarys are 38.4 years long, but this year, we're looking at a January that's 342 years long 😬

A poster for Scout & Moxie with the contact information so email 1jessicastone@gmail.com or text 310-995-0773.
Friends of mine were out of town when the fire took their home. Their cats are still missing. They're aware of the resources, but obviously everyone is overwhelmed. Please keep an eye out for Scout (female tortoiseshell) & Moxie (female orange tabby), last seen in Altadena before the fire. Thanks.
As a measure of how bad the insurance crisis already was, Farmers cancelled all policies for all CA codos built before 1925—including mine—regardless of whether you were in a fire zone or not.
About to get much worse. And not just CA or FL or TX: www.motherjones.com/environment/...

NEW: Formaldehyde contributes more to outdoor cancer risk than any other toxic air pollutant in the US. It comes from cars, trucks, planes and a combination of emissions cooked in the atmosphere.
For the first time, EPA modeled this risk down to the census block — and we mapped it.

It's tragic that bluesky doesn't yet support gifs, so here is a link to the video where Ernie wears a Kermit suit. I don't speak German so I have no idea what they're saying
